This property is CLOSED due to a fire a couple of months ago. They didn't let me know and Expedia wouldn't refund me. Thankfully I booked alternative accomodation after Googling the hotel and finding out about the fire. I even went to the hotel during my time in NY and it's completely boarded up. Not a good experience to be messed around like this as others won't know it's closed until they get there.

Staff seemed friendly enough, but you're getting what you pay for. Not a single horizontal surface to set anything on aside from the bed, so I ended up tying the trash can liner around the interior door knob so I could turn the trash can upside down and use it as a bedside table. The inclusion of a wall mounted fan was nice though.

Please don't do it.

It's cheap and in a good location but other than that it's very very bad. The entrance door at the bottom of the stairs is always open. I walked in to three kids smoking weed on the stair case, this was my welcome to the hotel. Got up stairs, was allowed in , I looked around and I felt like walking back out but I'm in a new country and after a 10 HR flight I just wanted to sleep. It smelt bad, I went to my room to find a stained towel folded in the bed which had stands of black hair. I washed for a different room, the second was no better but at least a bit cleaner. There's lots of homeless people in there, asking for money as you walk in and out the hotel, the bathrooms and toilets OMG! It's beyond bad. I closed my eyes to have a shower, I used McDonald's toilets all through out my stay, wash hand basin was blocked and full of used water. It's cheap but it's horribly bad in there. I was counting down days to leave. Now I left.. I definitely will not return. But the guys there are nice, mainly Chinese I guess it's a family business. You are also close to little Italy and the subways. If you can afford elsewhere , do go elsewhere.

The location is 2nd to none. We were located close to subway stations and within walking distance to most of NYC'S hot spots. Staff were friendly. When we arrived and a few other times we were inside the building, there was a staff member cleaning the building, but the building itself is just so beyond needing a clean. It needs to be repaired desperately. We are not at all fancy people and can handle some things, but I however puked at the sight of black mold and broken ceilings in the urine aroma filled bathroom. I was unable to use the washroom to shower or urinate for the 4 days we stayed. As for bed bugs, we were safe - our sheets were clean and the mattress creases were free of bugs. That being said, our 4th and final night - my 2am wake up call from a cockroach crawling on my face was the final straw. I stayed awake until 4:30 am when we headed to catch our flight.
In a sense, I am thankful our stay wasn't the greatest because we did everything not to hang out inside even when the weather wasn't the best and managed to see so much while there.
If you don't mind cockroaches and are just looking for a place to rest your head, then it serves it's purpose.

Absolutely unsanitary and degrading for human occupancy. To top it off, found a live bed bug crawling on the bed. The front desk apologetic but no action taken at all to remediate or redress the situation. I left without staying overnight. A truly traumatic experience that I would not wish upon my worst enemy.

I stayed here about a month ago and while it wasn't amazing, it didn't cross the line into roaches. I found one in my room during my stay this time.

You get what you pay for here, which is a closet with a bed and water damaged bathrooms down the hall without provided toilet paper or soap. You have to ask them for toilet paper and then keep it in your room. I ended up donating some hand soap I bought from a nearby store.

Front desk was yelling at a homeless person while I was sleeping, pretty annoyed by that. I don’t think the front desk/landlord should host homeless people in the lobby. It’s filthy and unsanitary. Honestly I wished front desk call the police to get them removed from the premises for loitering/trespassing, I can’t bother to deal with the lack of safety while walking through the lobby. Shame.

This is the barest of spaces. Rooms are windowless closets. Mine was noisy from a TV going all night (2 am until 7:30 am). The bathrooms down the hall are dirty, have no toilet paper in any of them, have no mirrors, and dubious plumbing. Pillow was uncomfortable; no top sheet, just a blanket. The only positive, other than price, was that the single sheet was clean.

This place must cease to operate.

It is a danger to itself and others. Examples from my attempt to stay include: an overdosed woman who had soiled herself was laying in the entrance area atop trash bags of her belongings (I'm genuinely worried about her too - is she ok? Do they even care?), excrement on the walls of the bathroom, no toilet paper or soap, rooms were not even rooms - just sectioned off areas with a grid on top (meaning open ceilings - with cigarette smoke freely passing room to room which is NOT \"non smoking\"), in general an insecure area e.g. people not staying there we're climbing in and out of a window leading to the fire escape to linger and/or use drugs in the bathrooms then leave.

This scam must close and stop harming the community.

If you're looking at this property, go onto Airbb and book a room in a house instead. A room in an Aibnb will have more privacy and amenities than this space.

That warning aside, this place is a great example of you getting what you pay for. The room itself was a closet with basically just a bed. To go to the bathroom or shower, you have to go down the hallway outside your room and use one of 3 bathrooms in moldy condition. One of the bathrooms had a leaky pipe that drips down an anyone using the toilet. All of them had water damage on the ceiling.

As far as what to bring here, I'd highly recommend staying here without shower shoes based on the visible condition of the bathrooms alone. I also had to ask for toilet paper since there isn't any stocked in the bathrooms at all.

If you're ok with the above, staff is nice and functions as a 24 hour doorman. I didn't see any pest issues despite the water damage in the bathrooms.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel. The experience was far from what was depicted in the photos on your website, leading to several disappointments during my visit.

Firstly, the cleanliness of the hotel was highly unsatisfactory. The room was not properly cleaned, and there were numerous insects present, which is unacceptable. Additionally, the general hygiene of the hotel left much to be desired.

Moreover, I found the staff to be disrespectful and unhelpful. This lack of professionalism significantly impacted my stay.

The room had a strong, unpleasant odor that made it uncomfortable to stay in. Overall, my experience at your hotel was very disappointing.

I hope you take immediate action to address these issues to prevent future guests from having a similar experience.

I appreciated that I was allowed to check in early and they kindle held my bags the day of my departure.

The bedding sheets had red, brown and yellow stains. When I peeled them off to take to the office if I could get a cleaner set, the mattress was filled with urine stains. I felt disgusted to sleep on it. The bathrooms were equally unclean: little bugs flying around, the ceilings leaking water making the floors a dirty mess. My intuition was constantly screaming at me to leave and find a better hotel.

Beware!!!! Stay here at your own risk!!

Absolutely horrible. This was zero out of 10. This is the epitome of false advertisement, whereas the pictures listed did not look anything like what I seen once I arrived. The conditions are horrible. Everything needs to be remodeled, there is mold and grime in the bathrooms. The stairwells have graffiti on the doors and walls mimicking a project or public assistance housing. The guests staying were foreigners which is fine, or legit disheveled and grungy looking street walkers who loiter in the lobby area. The bed takes up 90% of the room it’s the size of a prison cell. And the bedding was dirty. I only spent 4 hours there in my one night stay and laid my personal towels over the bed to feel somewhat comfortable. All in all worst hostel I’ve ever experienced and I’m ashamed that this property is even listed on hotels.com …. I deserve compensation for my stay in that nightmare hostel. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place at all costs.

Bugs in the bathrooms. No quiet hours, other guests screaming at all hours of the night. No sink in the room like there was on the picture of the room I booked.

The pros of staying in this hostel: they keep your bags after checkout and it’s in a good location- surrounded by cheap eats (hard thing to find in NYC) and the metro is less than a 5 minute walk away.
The cons: stinks of smoke, there’s no toilet paper in the bathroom, no heating and we were woken up every morning by people shouting in the reception area. Once there was a man screaming that he was going to stay no matter what and that they couldn’t make him leave. Fair to say you don’t exactly feel safe.
Overall, if you’re just looking for a place to sleep and you’re not a solo female traveler this is a good option given how cheap it is for NYC. Otherwise, I don’t recommend this at all

This place would be a steal if they emphasized cleanliness. The small rooms are fine for solo travelers, hearing your neighbors snore is a pain but a bit overblown by the other reviews, and the bathrooms were fine (I'd advise you to bring shower shoes). But this establishment has bedbugs and that is completely inexcusable. If the Bowery Grand Hotel just washed their damn sheets consistently, it would be the greatest value for a room in NYC. Until that day comes, I'd advise you to stay away.

This place has bed bugs and fleas. Avoid this place. Had to throw away the suitecase and all clothes I had on me. Homeless people live in the lobby area and smoke inside. No jokes, never expected to see anything like that

The room was just a size of a closet. Almost couldn’t fit my suitcase in it.Can’t hardly even move around. There is no ceilings. Just wires. While in your room You can hear the others on the snoring, coughing, watching videos on their cell phones. I had trouble sleeping and was woken up numerous times during the night. The lobby had at least 2 to 3 homeless people sleeping in it.The bathrooms are old and moldy. No toilet paper & paper towels.

not the worst place to stay ever, but not good

the bathrooms were a little gross, and the room wasn't the cleanest ever (but no bugs in the bed or anything). it's kind of 50/50 whether or not the bathroom you enter has toilet paper or not.

honestly the worst thing was being unable to sleep due to how thin the walls were - you can hear every time someone takes the stairs or has a conversation/coughs/sneezes in the hallway or lobby. even though i brought earplugs, i only slept for a few hours due to the sheer amount of noise.

if you literally can't afford to stay anywhere better then it's acceptable, but if you have wiggle room in your budget i would say to find someplace else where you'll actually be able to sleep.

Very friendly staff. Kind and hospitable. Very affordable stay for Manhattan. Rooms need to be painted. Walls are dirty. Towel also had stains. Bathrooms need deep cleaning. With a little bit more care it could be a whole lot nicer.

Everything is dirty, no hand sanitizer in the lobby, seen people engaged in fighting in the lobby, broken the sink. Beyond a third-class hotel.

The property wasn't clean at all, and it didn't feel safe at all. The reception was full of homeless people, and the receptionist wasn't friendly and was aggressive as he didn't speak English.

The room was private and the bathroom, while shared and around the hall, was clean and the water had good pressure. The staff was excellent and available 24/7 This place is in the middle of China Town

There were bugs and holes all over the room. The bathroom was dirty and didn't have any TP or anything. The other residents were noisy and loud. Would not stay again.
