Great place to stay. We were able to check in early and got to check in late too. Just what we needed; a place to sleep at night that is safe. Our room had no window and was a basic bunk but that’s what we paid for and it was perfect. Staff lovely and very helpful and caring!! Chinatown was great location too. Loved our stay in NYC!!!

Overall, this is a good place for the money! Location is the best part about it. It’s close to the subway and you can get anywhere in the city very easily. Don’t look for luxury, just a basic room with just enough space for a couple of pieces of luggage and a bed. I would stay here again!

Cheap, clean enough. Very small but sometimes you just need a bed in a room, and a shared bathroom

Good deal
It wasn't much, but it was what was I expected. Clean bathrooms, room was good, so it was a decent inexpensive place to stay in NYC.

Very basic room in budget Chinatown.
Room is quite small, double bed & table, but it is NYC and well situated in budget Chinatown. Walls are thin. Grand subway is about 3 blocks away. 4 separate toilet rooms with shower. Very clean. Looked after multiple times per day. Free coffee and tea and use of microwave. Staff very friendly.
Sign @ reception. "Cash only." They did take credit card, after adding 3% to bill.

Experience
The hotels once you walk in smells horrible all I could smell was weed and cigarettes and alcohol the stares are really dirty. Once we get to our room it is so tiny rooms the mattress aren’t horrible but at night there was so much noise and load talking voices coming from the other rooms the walls are so thin you can hear anything they talk about. The hotels place is pretty good located in Chinatown and kind of near most stuff.

There are bed bugs everywhere STAY AWAY
I visited this hotel. And one of the first days I got a lot of itchy bumps on my hands.
I showed it to the owner and said it must be bed bugs. As she assured me it couldn't be. And she gave me something to smear it with.
But now we have brought bed bugs home from the hotel and they are everywhere.

Get what you pay for
Photos are deceiving. Very nice people who work there but extremely out dated and bed was plywood! No cushion at all! Hard! Bathrooms were dirty. Not sure how often they are cleaned since we share it could be other customers but dirty! Hairs and towels left. I wouldn’t stay there again. Good location but not worth the hard bed and dirty restrooms.

This is hands down the best value to stay in the NYC area. This is less of a traditonal hotel and more of a place to crash in between adventures. The room we stayed in was roughly 8x6 and had a small night stand, bed, light and outlet. The single rooms share one of four shared baths, which were always clean and had no wait to use. The larger bunk bed style rooms have thier own bathrooms. The rooms are close together so you can hear other rooms' at some times but it wasnt disruptive. There is a microwave in the lobby and free coffee and tea avaliable. We had limited interactions with the staff but they were friendly and had a little bit of a language gap.
This property is located in Chinatown, just a short walk from markets, a great park amazing food and subway transportation.
For less that $100 a night, it would be hard to beat.
