"The location is excellent, very close to several subway lines, making it convenient for getting around. It's about a 10-minute walk from the M60 airport express bus stop. There are supermarkets and Chinese restaurants nearby. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. You can cook in the communal kitchen, and there are also simple meals available for purchase on the first floor. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I had a great experience. This one was much better than the same brand's hostel I stayed at later in Boston. The 6-bed dorm was much more spacious than the 8-bed dorm; I forgot to take photos of the 6-bed room."
"The hotel's biggest advantage is its excellent location, right next to Central Park, within walking distance to the subway and Columbus Circle, making travel incredibly convenient. The rooms are basically clean, with simple, sufficient facilities, suitable for budget-conscious travelers.
However, the soundproofing is a major issue: you can hear everything from the adjacent rooms, and I was frequently woken up at night by loud talking and slamming doors, making it almost impossible to get proper rest. I reported this to the front desk multiple times during my stay, but the problem never improved. I also filed a complaint through the booking platform, but received no response or follow-up whatsoever – customer service was virtually non-existent.
The common areas and bathroom facilities are a bit old, and the cleanliness in some areas was just average. Overall, it's only suitable for backpackers who prioritize location over sleep quality. Travelers who value quietness and good service should definitely look elsewhere."
"Important: Bring your own lock and plastic slippers.
Check-in convenience: Quick check-in.
Safety: Located near Central Park, the main gate is locked at night; you need to ring a bell to enter, so it's relatively safe.
Facilities: The common areas are quite large. The bedrooms are capsule-style rooms with doors that can be closed, ensuring ample personal space. There is no elevator.
The communal kitchen is downstairs; it's a bit small, but it has a kettle. The rooms have radiators, but they weren't turned on at all, so it was quite cold in winter. Only one blanket was provided, so I slept in a sweater.
The shower room is small, with limited space for clothes, only a few hooks.
Cleanliness: Okay.
Environment: Close to the subway and Central Park.
Service: Okay. Free luggage storage is available."
"This hotel is fantastic – the location, surroundings, and the staff's service attitude and professionalism are all top-notch! A special shout-out to the hotel staff for their help; our suitcase wouldn't open late at night, and they quickly sent someone to assist us. We're very grateful.
Since our English isn't great, check-in was a bit challenging, but the chubby white gentleman at the front desk was incredibly patient with us. He was absolutely lovely, hahaha.
The room was cleaned perfectly every day during our 5-night stay.
There's a supermarket right across from the hotel, making it super convenient to buy food and water.
If I have the chance, I'll definitely stay here again."
"The hotel is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I recommend staying in the Upper West Side because it's quiet and safe, unlike the crowded and noisy Times Square area. It's recommended for solo female travelers, and I also recommend it to friends. It's a relatively old-fashioned American retro hotel; the soundproofing is acceptable, though you can hear a little. The staff are very polite, there's 24-hour security, and luggage storage is available after check-out. It's worth staying at, and offers great value for money compared to other Upper East Side hotels! It's a 3-4 minute walk to the subway station, and a 20-minute walk across Central Park to the Met Museum, etc. There are also many brunch restaurants nearby."
"The room was spacious and comfortable. The wifi worked smoothly. The mattress was a bit soft, and my back felt like it was sinking in when I slept. A firmer mattress would have been better. The breakfast was quite good. The front desk clerk was very polite. My husband and I asked him how to take the bus to Chelsea Market, and he explained it carefully, repeating himself several times to make sure we didn't understand. The rest of the staff was average."
"The hotel's hygiene was good, and they offered free parking. Walking downhill to the main road, there's a bus stop where you can catch the 127 bus, which gets you to Times Square in about 30 minutes, so transportation is quite convenient. We paid cash when we boarded, but on the return trip, you could only pay by card. The last bus is at 9:30 PM! The hotel breakfast was very mediocre. They used paper cups and plates, and there were no staff cleaning the dining area, it was like a McDonald's. However, there aren't many restaurants nearby, so we just ate at the hotel. It's the kind of place where you just eat to fill your stomach, don't expect anything fancy! We stayed for two consecutive days. On the second day, they didn't clean the room or change any amenities! Luckily, we only booked for two days."
"The hotel has a fantastic location on the Upper West Side, with easy access to Metropolitan Area. It's also conveniently located near the street at night, ensuring safety. There are many good cafes nearby. The rooms aren't large, but that's typical for downtown New York City, where kitchens and rooms aren't usually that big."
"The room is nice, but the soundproofing is average;
Traveling in October, the local temperature is already very cold.
Cold rain.
There are many restaurants nearby and shopping is not convenient;
It is also far from the city center"
"Honestly, I was a bit worried because the reviews weren't great, but for someone like me who only uses a hotel in New York for sleeping and spends all their time outside, this was an excellent value-for-money hotel. I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days. The air conditioning worked well, and the bed was comfortable, so even though I was tired from exploring outside, I slept really soundly. The room is small and doesn't have much in it, but honestly, I only slept at the hotel, so it didn't matter. The location is close to Times Square, about a 5-8 minute walk. For me, it was a great value hotel."

IICE TaylorBig, clean hotel with a bar and restaurants open until late. It’s perfect for travellers, and there’s a small minimart where you can buy food and snacks. I love this hotel — highly recommended!
KKitrynThis hotel is immaculate and absolutely everybody is above and beyond pleasant. Though not directly affiliated with the hotel, Inexpensive, super clean and very easily accessible parking is a two minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2 1/2 days of parking. The room was incredible. Exposed brick walls with super high ceilings, the bathroom had a huge tub and a wonderful shower. Pro tip: if traveling with someone that you do not want to see you naked, understand that it is not a one-way mirror over the bar and you absolutely CAN see into the shower While someone is showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so this was not a real issue. The restaurant within the hotel and the Ramen place directly next-door are both wonderful. I did not make it to the rooftop bar this time but since I absolutely will stay at this hotel every time I come to visit I will check it out next time! The room was extremely quiet, temperature was easy to control. Now, a little too much honesty, I am an extremely “sensitive” person, and resting and hearing so much from the second I stepped into this hotel. I was never scared, as I definitely don’t typically get scared, but I had numerous very genuine and very obvious things happen while I say that this hotel, such as seeing things walk across the hall in both my room and the hallway, in the main lobby bathroom someone walked into the bathroom and into the stall next to me, but never left, and when I looked, there was no one there,and I was in the shower. I could hear several men talking to each other as if they were right next to me. I was definitely not hearing people from another room. I also heard the door to the stair well open, which is right next to our room and I was right next to the door so when I looked, there was nobody there and I pulled it shut again. Just out of curiosity, as to what was there prior to the hotel, on the way home my daughter looked up the history to the hotel. Let’s just say it was very enlightening as to why i was experiencing so much activity in this hotel, especially on the third floor next to what I will assume would have been a fire escape at some point. It also may explain why the first thing that went through my mind when I opened the front door of the hotel and turned to my daughter and said “I’m surprised the hotel gets away with door opening inward. It goes against fire code. Anyway, You can look up the history yourself and understand all that I have said. :-)  either way, a spectacular hotel at a decent price and a very safe and beautiful part of the city. I will definitely stay here again!
GGuest UserVery clean but very small room—there was no space except for the bed and bathroom. There was an issue with the lights in the bathroom, which the staff resolved promptly. They were out of regular coffee and provided us with one regular and one decaf packet, which we found a bit unusual but assumed it had to do with it being a holiday weekend. Otherwise, a great stay. We will be back to stay in a larger room.
Aaimei2023-01-09The room was very average, with old and outdated facilities. The towels were so stiff they could stand upright, and I have pictures to prove it. The security was very high. The hotel didn't offer breakfast, which was very disappointing. There was an older lady from Shanghai at the front desk who was very nice and made me feel very welcome! The bedside lamp in the room was broken and kept flickering, making it unusable!
CC.FGI was really lucky to pick such a great hotel in New York this time. It's located in Manhattan's Financial District, super close to the 9/11 Memorial – probably just a 5-minute walk. The neighborhood has convenience stores, coffee shops, and several restaurants. Plus, multiple subway lines make it super easy to get to Midtown Manhattan or Brooklyn. Although the hotel's decor looks a bit dated, it's very well-maintained. The room interiors are comfortable, and some room types offer views of the Hudson River. On sunny days, waking up to that view made my morning every time.
KKyle TanIt was seamless, from check-in to check-out. I was able to request for late check-out. Upon check-out I left my luggage so I could still roam around. Got my luggage back safe. Breakfast is okay. Not grand. But I was able to eat everything. I normally couldn’t eat breakfast from cheap priced bookings cause it’s normally bad, but here, I was able to make use of it.
AAnonymous UserConveniently located near Wall Street with easy subway access. There's a great Danish healthy fast food restaurant nearby called Joe and the Juice, definitely worth checking out. You'll also find a pizza place, street-side taco trucks, and ice cream trucks. The hotel is very clean and has good soundproofing. Like most hotels, there's no hot water in the room, but the lobby offers refreshing lemonade and luggage storage, which is a nice touch.
GGuest UserThe hotel's location is great; honestly, most hotels on Manhattan Island have similar locations – if you're close to uptown, you're further from downtown. There's a subway station right outside, making dining, living, and transportation very convenient. The biggest issue, though, is that the rooms don't have a refrigerator, and drinking water isn't provided, let alone a coffee machine, which most of the other hotels we've stayed in had. This meant we had to skip buying a lot of food we wanted because we couldn't store it.
GGuest UserThe price was quite a good deal for New York, especially with a discount. The facilities and decor are up to Hilton's standards, but!! It was incredibly, unbelievably crowded. Expect to wait about an hour just to park, with only one staff member working. Checking in at the front desk, buying coffee, and even storing luggage all involved long queues. It seems like a lot of airline crew stay here too, so definitely factor in extra time for everything. There are tons of hidden fees. The deposit was given as a voucher, luggage storage cost extra, and even the in-room mini-bar items were charged. Given the location and the total price of $150, I guess I'll just put up with it.
PpovofsgI stayed here for 5 nights and I thought it was perfect. It was a last minute deal and it was such a bargain price. Located in Times Square, it’s a perfect hotel if you’re solo or it’s your first time in New York. You’re not far from Times Square, within 30 mins of Central Park and probably an hour walk to Brooklyn bridge (but you can get the subway). The staff were nice, especially the cleaners. The room was small, but I felt safe. There were lots of coffee, it was clean and not too noisy despite the location. I went during the winter and it was warm enough with thin pjs on. The lift was working fine too. I highly recommend.
Some top places to stay in New York are near popular attractions like Times Square, Central Park and Empire State Building—so you can quickly get to top landmarks and amenities you need.
