This is a hostile not a hotel so you need to keep that in mind when renting here. This is not for the fussy. This is for those who want to save big on hotel fees yet be close to it all. Sleeping quarters are very small, but clean and bed is comfortable. Communal shower and bath are cleaned once a day by maids. Noise level is not too loud, but you can hear your neighbors on occasion. However, another hostile I stayed at a block away was much noisier and not as well run. Again this is a hostel, not a hotel. You have to accept some rough edges to obtain the exceptional savings. If you are OK with this, this is the place for you in NYC,
