VRAIMENT JUSTE POUR DORMIR ET AVOIR UN ENDROIT POUR POSER SES VALISES

De toute façon, vu le prix, je ne pouvais pas m'attendre à beaucoup mieux...Et c'etait meme pire que ce que j'avais imaginé...L'hotel tombe en ruine, et est grossierement maintenu en état ( avec des travaux de massonerie, plomberie, et electricité fait à la va vite ) pour qu'il soit tou juste " habitable "...PAR CONTRE, extremement bien situé dans un quartier calme et accueillant avec de nombreux commerces, METRO 1 ( via tous les points stratégiques de Manatthan ) à 1 minute de l'hotel...Donc IDEAL pour ceux qui veulent juste un pied-à-terre à New-York et qui ne comptent pas passer leur séjour dans une chambre d'hotel...

One Star Surprise

In reality this is a youth hostel. The washrooms were a disaster and the windows that do open also let in the cold weather which at 32 degree and lower is not a good thing. TV's don't work except the one in the lobby, Insufficient bedding (ask for extra towels and blankets and they will be provided) and rather uncomfortable sagging beds with thin and sagging mattresses. No maid service during stay. No frills to the max!

Okay, I guess

For what I paid, I didn't expect a five-star experience. Room was clean, and the bathroom was cleaner than my own at home. The TV didn't work, the internet wasn't free, but they weren't too big sacrifices. However, there was very little to no heat in my room, and I had to sleep with the jacket on.

Trop cher pour ce que c'est

Peut-être intéressant pour une personne seule, mais cher pour un couple, puisqu'avec 5 euros de plus on peut trouver une chambre équivalente mais moins vétuste et sans être dans un dortoir.

Has the feel of a government housing complex

Probably one of the worst hotel stays ever. The room was small, with 2 bunk beds, both of which were broken. The hotel and the room had a strange odor, and the room had a cooler however there was no place to plug it in. The sheets were dirty and had blood stains on them, and the shared bathroom was just plain gross. The front desk service was hostile and made me uncomfortable. Booked for 3 night, however only stayed for two. Could not wait to get out of this place.

I stayed in bunk-bed room: OK if you believe like me that "you get what you pay for"

I stayed in the bunk bed room: in a nutshell "you get what you pay for", not the cleanest or the slickest, not even the "traveller hostel" feel as it's kinda a hotel, but if you're only interested in a place to sleep for few days: it's OK (again I stayed in a shared bunk bed room for the typical low end price of a hostel, so my expectations weren't high)

Pas top

On ne s'attendait pas à avoir quelque chose d'extraordinaire, mais on est tombé de haut quand on a vu la chambre et l'hotel en général. Accueil peu chaleureux, cela sentait fort la cigarette froide dans le couloir, la salle de bain peu encourageante, le chauffage à fond pendant la nuit. Bref à éviter pour ceux qui veulent un peu de confort. Cependant le seul point positif est qu'il est bien situé tant au niveau de la ville et que des transport en commun.

Cheap clean place

This place is really simple but relatively clean and well connected to the subway system and the bus to La Guardia Airport. It is good value for money. There is internet in the basement comparatively cheap for NY. A pity that there is no closet in the room so one has to live out of the suitcase.

Cheap Place to Stay in an Expensive City

It's close to the subway and in a nice neighbourhood. It didn't have any cockroaches or bedbugs. It could have been cleaner; I would not touch that floor with bare feet, bring flip flops! There always seemed to be hot water. You might want to bring a spare towel for longer stays as you only get one. The bathrooms were not cleaned often enough and something you had to go to a different floor to find one with toilet paper. The elevator is ancient and finicky; pack light and be prepared to drag your luggage up the stairs. Do not believe the pictures on the website, the rooms don't really look like that. The wireless internet only really works in the lobby - you'll always see people camped out there. Bring your laptop, the wired internet is ridiculous. The cable doesn't work. The staff was friendly but they don't go out of their way to help you. If you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs because the walls are paper thin. You don't want to be awakened by a neighbour singing raunchy drinking songs at 3am.

Very basic

A place to sleep at a reasonable price. Very small room with double bed and bathroom down the hall. Towel but no soap. TV didn't work, which was the only disappointment. Otherwise, very basic hotel/hostle, but exactly what I expected and wanted - nothing more or less. A bit far from the subway (about 3 short blocks). I'd stay there again.

Basic but good value

The hotel was basically fine and cheaper than the YMCA, with which it might be compared. The room was spartan but adequate, the bed comfortable, although the pillows were a bit lumpy. Facilities; internet, payphone etc also basic but OK. The shower was good and the water hot, but the toilet did block briefly, but this was resolved. A very nice and convenient location, between Broadway and Central Park and well served by the A and 1 subway lines.

The Name "Hostel" Says It All...

I've read some pretty funny reviews regarding this hotel... but one thing you have to consider is if you're paying that kind of money, you shouldn't expect much at all... I'm a college kid, and hostels are perfect for us... cheap and a place to sleep... I couldn't shower bc the bathroom was all dirty, but I did get my own room... which was pretty cool... So guys, just remember this... don't expect much if you're paying this little, and you'll be all set...

Doppelzimmer nicht zu empfehlen!

Wir waren für wenige Tage in NY im o.g. Hostel in einem Doppelzimmer. Trotz des im Vergleich zu Mehrbettzimmern höheren Preises pro Person haben die Doppelzimmer keine Klimaanlage. Die Mehrbettzimmer haben eine.... Auch die Sauberkeit, speziell des Bettes und der Fenster lassen einiges zu wünschen übrig. Allerdings muss man dazusagen, dass NY zu den teuersten Städten der Welt gehört und man für diesen Preis wohl wenig bis gar nichts bekommt. Das Hostel direkt neben dem Westside Inn dürtfe in derselben Preislage liegen und macht zumindest von außen einen deutlich besseren Eindruck.

No Frills - Great for Super Travellers

If you are the type of traveller who uses your accomodations as your place to sleep and shower then this is your place! You get a bed, a secure room and a shower (although it is shared). It may not be fancy with flowers in the hallway, and you should probably wear flip flops in the shower, but our stay was without complaint. I left my laptop and my ipod in the room and they were still there every single time. I did not see any bugs or vermin in the hotel or the room, and the bed was actually comfortable. The people were nice and the location is unbeatable for the price.

Very displeased with this hotel

This was my absolute worst hotel experience of my life. I paid a pretty penny to stay in this hotel that looked like a home which was turned into a hotel. One of the desk staff was absolutely rude and shows no sympathy for the guests what so ever. The walk-in area displayed an old 1970’s look, the tile floors were cracked, the crevices of the ceiling had molding and were dirty, the so called leather chairs were ripped and worn down from over the years and the elevator was completely crappy and was out of service, actually, we got stuck in it, because there was no out of service sign. After we got out of the elevator the only staff told us to not use it because it did not work and he then placed an out of service sign on the door. The area of this hotel was horrific. As for the room, we were told we would get a [two bed] room and we got one small room no bigger than 10x10, with one twin size bed. The carpet was dirty and old, the sheets and towels were disgusting, the paint on the walls were chipped to its worst state, water pipes were running through the ceiling up from the floor and the “working” TV with “cable” wouldn’t even turn on. There was no air conditioning but only one small blowing fan. Keep in mind that the rooms do not come with a bathroom, but instead it (meaning one per floor) was located directly down the hall for everyone to use. It had urine encircled around the toilet, and the bath tub was completely unacceptable. Unbelievably, I had to carry my two children down the street to some random restaurant so that they could use the bathroom. My family and I were very unsatisfied; we left the next day, w/o our refund. Would not recommend to anyone!

Can't beat it.

An incredibly inexpensive, reasonably clean and comfortable place to stay. It's not the Ritz by any stretch of the imagination, but you're in New York, so you only need the room to sleep and shower anyways. Will be staying there again.
