Staff was excellent especially the night staff on the desk she was so considerate, professional and demonstrated true hospitality - great work!

Sheryl, United States of America

Rooftop scene was pretty nice. The quality of residents/clientele also made me feel easier about my stay.

Ken, United States of America

great value. great staff. location. roof top garden!

Mike, United States of America

The location and cheap but not like hostel you don't have your private space

Samantha, United States of America

It was more convinient then I expected for such small rooms. They let me use their fridge to store my soy milk to eat breakfast comfortably. Gave me an umbrella when it was rainning. It was pretty close to the train and to chinatown.

Livne, Israel

The location was very good, close to where our bus dropped us off from NJ and also near Chinatown and Little Italy. The lobby was also nice and they provided free wi-fi.

Russell, United States of America

If you are comfortable with shared bathrooms and cozily-small rooms, you cannot ask for more interesting and well-situated accommodations in Manhattan. It's across the street from the New Museum (which has the best art museum gift store I've ever visited); and, behind the hotel, the shops, restaurants, and parks of Nolita provide ample space for dreamily sauntering. Beautiful common areas, a rooftop with a view, and the friendly and knowledgable staff round out the experience.

David, United States of America

I loved that the subway to Williamsburg was less than a minutes walk from the hotel. Art galleries snuggled across the road as well as a few doors down. Chinatown and little Italy are right there too! Great spot if you don't wanna be in the thick of NYC. Cool spot.

Kerri, Australia

The soap / shampoo / conditioner they provided smelled and felt so good! Cozy but comfortable, all the space you need and felt secure.

Laura, United States of America

Really like the staff - very friendly, gave me a lot of advices.

눉The way the night staff was handling the problem was unprofessional. They offered me just to changed my sheets and couldn't move to another room. I found bed bugs in my bed and the one staff member said he never had a problem on that floor but the lower level he has. And then said unless I had brought them there. I felt insulted that he had said that. Pretty much I only was able to change my sheets lay back into the room and could not sleep because I felt as though those bugs will come back. I have never in my life experienced anything like this. And it wasn't one I found it was 3 I seen. The first one I seen I let it go. But everything the last two I had to say something. And the last thing I didn't like was there were no ceilings. The way I seen it and it was described before I booked I had no idea it was like that. No privacy.
눇Only thing I liked was one of the staff there. He seem really professional about the problems that occurred there. He was reasonable and offered me half of my stay there. But however I still have not got the deposit back into my account.

“Last minute decent cheap spot. Otherwise go for a hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The room space is the tiniest I've ever been in but that's because it's supposed to be more like a hostel with subdivided spaces. Don't bring a big suitcase here (especially since there's no elevator and u need to go up to the 3rd floor). The room literally fits the twin bed in length with no gap and maybe about 1 foot to the side of the bed in width. There are larger rooms available, but with the price of those you might as well get a regular or boutique hotel room somewhere else. The price difference between this and a normal hotel isn't enough to justify the cost. I was hoping for daily organized events like other hostels in different parts of the world or something else that would make this more special. Otherwise the only special thing is cost.
눇Enough room for the bed and to put my carry-on bag on top of a mini nightstand, but that's all the room you will be able to squeeze into which was all I needed. The wifi was good. The roof is nice if there are people up there, otherwise go snap a picture and get out to the bars around town. Nice staff.

눉I woke up with bed bug bites and on one night heard a complete argument between management and another person in a dormitory.

눉Room was not as advertised; I thought I was getting private room with my own bathroom. No mirrors avail until you get to the bathroom. "Quiet hours" policy was also not mentioned in online advertising for room
눇Rooftop scene was pretty nice. The quality of residents/clientele also made me feel easier about my stay.

“Cheap but very very very small!”

눉The cabins are extremely small. A suitcase barely fits in there. Moreover, the bed was so small I couldn't fit in there and I'm only 6''0/1.85m .. Also, long lines for the showers in the morning.
눇Location is great and it is quite cheap.

눉The rooms at the Bowery house are very small, noisy, beds are uncomfortable and extremely small. I'm just shy of 5'5" and I was hanging off the bed. It can get cold from the AC. There weren't extra blankets so be prepared
눇The subways were within .5 to .7 miles walking distance from the Bowery House. The walks were easy and I always felt safe. There are a lot of restaurants nearby and a lot of stores if you want to shop. They do have a very nice rooftop with great views. It's nice to sit up there, relax and take it all in.

“Great location -- Horribel Hostel/Hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The room was smaller than 4 square meters, and the bed was in it.... There was almost no such thing as privacy because the ,,rooms" were literally cabins next to each other without a real roof so you could hear everyone doing everything... It was ok to stay for 2 nights but it was way to expensiv for 90-100 Bucks per night. Even for New York.

“A noisy hostel, not a hotel. good location, but don't expect to sleep”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Rooms aren't very clean with very little light. It was noisy all night and morning long, as in you can hear every snore, cough, footstep, phone ping, and conversation. The beds were also insanely uncomfortable and short! I'm not that tall but even my legs were hanging off the end. I honestly can't understand how this place has such reasonable reviews, so please beware before you book.
눇Bathrooms are shared but clean. Great location.
