There was no room cleaning service. No Cleanliness of the hotel lobby and always had a bad smell surrounding the hotel premises. No elevator also. A lot of house flies and small fruit flies outside the hotel room. Lucky, my hotel room has no flies. No hotel room side tables and the hotel room is very very small.

The location was good. The streets nearby very overwhelming and almost anything you can buy. I like the New Yorkers and they have brilliant minds.Absolutely. Very easy to reach locations nearby by Subway Trains. I truly hope that Subway stations will become excellent in the future.

The ceiling was open so you could hear everything and everyone's business. I'm 6'10 and couldn't fit in the bed.

I was able to have a place to sleep but if you're 5'9 you won't fit in the bed.

Very very small bed. Even not enough for a single person. The size of the room was smaller than the size of a normal bed.

Nice and cooperative staff

However, these positives are where the good points end. The room felt like a prison cell, measuring about 6.2 feet by 4 feet. The bed took up the entire length of the room, which was too small for me, forcing me to sleep crouched. The walls didn’t go all the way to the ceiling, leaving the top open with a fence, so you could hear and smell everything from neighboring rooms. I could hear guests watching movies, talking on their phones, and even, unfortunately, when they farted at night. The air in the hotel was thick and the AC was broken, making it uncomfortable to stay inside. The room had only a bed, with no nightstand or other furniture, and was lit by a single, harsh white lamp. Everything was very dirty—I didn't want to touch the walls or the floor. The restroom was shared among everyone on the floor and was even dirtier than the room itself. I even saw a dead cockroach in the restroom.

I recently stayed at the Grand Bowery Hotel in Chinatown, and while it had some positives, my overall experience was far from pleasant. This 1-star hotel was the cheapest option I found online at $70 per night, and it is very centrally located in downtown Manhattan, which is convenient. The staff were nice and helpful, and the bedsheets were clean. They also provided basic necessities like a towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and shampoo. There is no hairdryer.

Just little privacy, and can hear others when in your own room

The location of the property

Stayed in May 2024

Rooms are basically a 4x8 box with a door, a small stool, and a cot. This is not the Waldorf and you get what you pay for. The ceiling is basically a wire cage so you can hear everyone's business. If you don't enjoy hostels and want to save some cash, it's fine, but if you are a light sleeper or need silence or total darkness, then this isn't the place. The bathrooms smelled clean and disinfected, but looked like renovations were in progress. -They weren't, but everything in this place is like this. Scuffed, painted, re-painted, patched, and sometimes moldy. Don't bother complaining about the aesthetics, again, you get what you pay for. I am amazed there were no roaches or bedbugs.

Front desk staff was courteous and quick to answer questions. The location is great, and I am surprised a place like this (basic room with cot) still exists in NYC in 2024. The place is as barebones as it gets. Toiletries (soap and a shampoo packet, clean bedsheets and a towel is provided at least. Bathrooms are adequate but for the price you pay, don't expect any amenities besides hot water.

This property doesn’t have any room you can say boxes without roofs very small ,dirty and fishy smell all the time. Main door is steel door with auto door closing system and make huge noise at night time dirty and broken washrooms.

Nothing.

Very dirty, and the walls are very thin. You essentially stay in a small cage and can hear everyone else talking. I feel unsafe and the facilities are dirty. It is bad value for money for $50 a night

Location is good, close to metro and Chinatown

Stayed in March 2024

The rooms are too tiny and open top/wire mesh is not appropriate because some guests smoke in the rooms and the smoke easily spread across the block. The rooms are not cleaned during the entire stay and cleaning between guests leave a lot to be desired. Further, some people sleep on the reception area and some people hang around the entrance which compromise reputation. and comfort of guests. The staircase is not friendly, guests are already exhausted and such a punitive ascend is the last thing you need before you rest. Consider installing a lift.

The location is okay as it is easily accessible, and it is closer to supermarkets and stores.

Located in Chinatown, not really rooms.. more like a storage unit. No ceiling wall, you can hear everyone around you and they can hear you. Bonus, there was a bed bug in the room I was given. Had to ask to change to another, 'room'. Overall shady place that is cheap to rent out. Oh, and the bathroom is communal and tiny.

Need to improve more on cleanliness - smelly when you get into 2nd floor as you entre the main door , same with restroom. Also lobby / reception no waiting area - there’s a black man renting in the reception area not good to see. Make the reception area clean snd remove any obstruction.

This is an absolute scam this isn’t a hotel or hostel. The owner has removed every wall on the floor and put on partitions to create rooms just the size of a bed with No Roofs and hardly any space to move. I am astonished how this place even got their hotel class!
