overall the property was clean however, the property was closing down and this was only shared at the time of checking in. this meant that I had to cut my vacation short and book another hotel while fighting to have a refund on the days which I did not stay.

Hotel was not bad for the price, rooms were small but good overall. However, the acoustic was really bad, and corridors very noisy. From inside the room we could hear doors closing outside, people talking on the corridor, and even the elevator sound. It was hard to sleep at night as we kept waking up with all those noises. Location was good, because it was very close from Manhattan and easy to get there. However, the neighborhood was not the most friendly one.

Noise issue, stay away if you can…

If your are ok with the noise of a Microwave in the hallway while you’re trying to so sleep, go for it. If you’re not, I don’t recommend this hotel. The noise of heating food and people talking in the hallway during midnight was so loud and woke me up which I couldn’t go back to sleep. Customer service wasn’t that great either. I would definitely not stay there again.

Clean and modern. Stayed for the weekend. Only really used the hotel to shower and sleep, but it worked well for that. Was able to find street parking never more than a block or two away all weekend. They let us check in early, which was amazing. Only negative was the hallway smelled like weed the entire time. Would definitely come back.

The room and bathroom were clean and big but the whole floor smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. We could barely sleep because of the smell and the noise. You could hear everything from the outside. People slammed the doors and yelled until 4am. When I mentioned the concern to the front desk, he did not even say anything. I guess for the money, the room size and cleanliness surprised me but the cigarette smell was in our clothes for the whole trip.

Good value, convenient stay

Excellent value hotel. Very handy for tourists (10mins on direct subway to rockfeller centre). First night stay was noisy due to other guests (was a weekend night) but rest of the week was fine. They held our bags on checkout day until our evening flight as well. Rick on reception was very helpful. 24hr staffing was useful for late arrival due to delayed flight.

Hotel Nirvana was a good value. The rooms were new and very clean, but compact. The front desk was behind glass and the desk clerks were transactional. Location is just two subway stops away from Manhattan. The neighborhood is industrial with 24-hour car washes, body shops, and auto repair centers; it was lonely, but did not feel unsafe even at night. Limited food options were about 3 blocks away; subway station a half-mile walk.

Nirvana is Just Minutes from Manhattan

The Nirvana is a good hotel. Clean, very nice front desk staff who are there 24-7. The rooms clean and comfortable with modern fixtures. The best thing: The price and proximity to NYC Manhattan. The Nirvana is short walk to the MTA 21st Street Queensbridge Station. From there the F Train is a 2-stop, 10 minute ride to Midtown or anywhere else in Manhattan.

Decent place for a holiday trip to NYC

For the price, this hotel was good value. The subway is not far to walk. It gave us easy access to the city. Morning coffee was a challenge. Breakfast is not available at the hotel. In room coffee is mostly brown water. It is a 10 minute walk to get decent morning coffee.
The area felt pretty safe. We decided to keep our routes to 21st street. Some of the side streets felt a little sketchy. Service was good. The place was clean. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but not impossible. We used street parking.
We will consider Hotel Nirvana for our next visit to NYC.

This is essentially a budget hotel, and staff were pleasant enough (e.g. when I needed my heater re-set). My main problem was with old smoke smell in this \"100% nonsmoking\" hotel. I'm not sure if it's possible to remove without sealing the walls.

Wonderfully upgraded hotel! You can tell they put money into renovating it! Great staff, easy check in! Room was clean! Everything was comfy and fresh!

THE ONLY thing would gripe about is that there was no hot water in the sink. No matter how long it was left running, it never turned hot. There was hot water for the shower, thankfully.

OTHERWISE, decent location. There are gas stations, food places, and stores within walking distance. The neighborhood is fairly decent.

I would CERTAINLY book here again!

This hotel is real. Based on the 1 star reviews I read, I was hesitant this place actually existed or not. It is exactly what you pay for. A decent place to call home base while you spend your days exploring New York City.

Three of us shared a room with two full beds. It wasn't very spacious but it had everything we needed for a weekend stay. If you plan on spending a lot of time in the hotel, make sure you get a spacious one.

The area isn't very nice. If I was a young woman, I probably wouldn't feel too safe walking around this area. Closest subway entrance was about 10-15 minute walk away.

Overall, this was a 3/5 star experience. We got what we paid for. There's a lot of suspicious 5 star reviews and a lot of angry 1 star reviews. I guess it depends where your expectations are at.

A really good hotel for a great price in NYC. Just 5 blocks from a metro station, 1 block from a bus stop. My experience was really good. It’s located in a mixed area of hotels and mechanic shops… not fancy, but ok if you just need a clean place to stay while visiting the city.

Sketchy Neighborhood

When I checked in the television was not working and the sheets were wet I went down to talk to a employee, and he seemed very confused, kept telling me no it’s working, he gave me a different remote to try and that fixed it, as for the sheets he said they will be changed tomorrow? I hung them up in the bathroom on the shower curtain rack and used the hairdryer to dry the sheets.

Roof top deck area was closed even though the temperatures was in the high 60s.

No microwave in the room but there is one microwave that the whole hotel can share located near the ice machine, which smelled like Indian food.

It’s a good 10-15 minute walk to the nearest subway stop at nights and even during the day it could be very sketchy in the neighborhood I would recommend staying on the main street as much as possible. I got stopped by a homeless guy trying to hit me up for money and about three blocks away there’s a corner that I think drug dealers are hanging out at.

The television nor the heat worked at all, manually turning the TV on didn’t work and the heat was a futile effort.

Good hotel in obviously unsafe area

Hotel front desk was gruff and misinformed us saying there was a loading area for luggage in the front (none), no driveway, no parking, adjacent streets so unsafe for cars that a local worker warned me against it and showed broken glass; we ended up parking a mile away after much searching (no garages open late in the area). The hotel room itself is clean, modern, and good, with a fridge, weak coffee (K-cups), no microwave. For a 3-star hotel, this was mediocre at best, and the location in a barren, industrial corner with obvious signs of cars being broken into or having parts stolen made the whole stay fraught.
