This is budget accommodation in New York terms ... still very expensive from my point of view. It's basic, a tiny space with bunk beds for two of us, but it's clean and the bathroom is good, and once we got used to the place we enjoyed it. The staff on the desk are very busy and not helpful to guests but that's not a real problem. One really good thing is that there is a bar that serves only drinks in the evening, but there is a rather cool eating area so you can bring your own takeaway food in the evening and enjoy the space. We got Turkish takaways from the place next door to the hotel. We only found the eating area on our second day as we weren't told about it by the staff. As I said, they aren't helpful, but we would happily stay here again.

I wish you had a restaurant on sight on again, it’s still listed on the official website that you do. That had an effect on the overall experience.

We had a clean room and comfy beds. The location is just a short walk to the theatre district and subway station. It was a great option for us because we were barely in our room so the size of the room fit our needs perfectly.

Frontndesk staff checked me in early and quickly, friendly but you have to ask all questions they were not very informative, telling you only what you asked and offering no extra info like how to access elevators, check out time, ameneties, fees,etc so be sure to ask. Hallways are very dark and stuffy. The room is the bare bones minimum functional and good for just sleeping and showering. Very small about the size of a large walk in closet but it was what we needed and I would stay here again. My teenage son thought it was very cool and loved the bunk beds with a tv above each bed.

Very nice and unique place to stay in NY. The rooms are tiny, but the bunk bed layout is really well designed for relaxing on the beds to watch tv or read. Both the top and bottom bunks have a mounted tv on the end. Also provides a comfort sleep.

This place is good when you’re staying in nyc for a short period and on a budget. The rooms are quite tight but clean and I didn’t mind because we were out all day gallivanting and just needed a place to sleep at night. The staff were accommodating. They allowed us an early check in and an hour extension for check out without extra charge. Im sure to consider coming back here for my short nyc travels.
