New World Hotel in New York
If I could give this place a NO star rating, I would. Just like everyone else, the reviews are absolutely true. As soon as you walk in, its nice and air conditioned but when you get to your floor its as hot as a sauna. The thermostat read that it was 91° on the floor I was on. Next, I put the key in the door and when I opened it I thought that they had made mistake. The room was as small as a walk in closest or better off a jail cell. It had a full sized bed and a small fan in the top corner of the room, which just blew hot air around. I went there with my boyfriend and its not compatable for 2 people whatsoever. Theres nowhere to put your clothes nor any of your belonging for the matter. But it gets worse. You dont have your own bathroom. You have to share it with everyone on the entire floor. First, the bathroom looks as if it hasnt been cleaned thoroughly in forever. Second, it seems as if people live there as well so their hair was stuck everywhere. And lastly, when we entered the shower we felt the need to place a towel on the bottom of it because of the thought of the filth of it. Not to mention the shower doors fell apart when trying to close them. This place needs to be condemned immediately. Their website is complete false information. I believe I was robbed for my money. If I was able to ask for a refund I wouldve done it as soon as I opened my room door. I beg you all to save your money and pay the little extra money to get a more clean and comfortable room. I promise you this place is just not worth at all.
For all the people writing bad reviews, when youre paying around $40 per night to stay at a hotel in Chinatown, what exactly did you expect?? Pay more stay in a nicer place... The rooms with private bath are nice, but this is still a cheap Chinatown motel. You can do pretty much anything you want without getting bothered. Love (most of) the staff here. I stay all the time.
Never ever again with this dingy, tiny space... The experience is very much jail-like as youre confined to a room
One of the worst hotels Ive stayed in. The room is not clean and the bathrooms are rinsed with no hot water. The smell of mold is everywhere. Worst of all, the doors of the rooms are easy to open from the outside and are not locked from the inside as the room is exposed to theft at any time and this is what happened with my husband when he woke up in the morning and found that stolen $ 500 stolen from him while he was asleep. The hotel management did not recognize this. So I would advise everyone not to book at this hotel
No lice, bed bugs, or cockroaches BUT lots of dust mold and rust. The bathroom was a nightmare SOOOOO dirty. The bedroom fits a full size bed snugly and then 2ft of floor space for the door to open and close. No windows no ventilation and no locks on the doors.
DON’T GO THERE : Our room was so tiny we can’t open our luggage on the floor, the bedsheets were absolutely disgusting with pee stains on it, you can hear all your neighbors talking, the bathroom is clearly the worst of the hotel : I think the shower hasn’t been cleaned for years, the floor is so dirty, there are dirty towels on the floor... Even if it’s cheap run away from this place. Many people catch bedbugs...
There are no bed bugs. The rooms are not very clean but if u tell them to clean it thay will clean it. Location is fantastic but there is no elevator so its a bit of a climb. The staffs are very nice. Good place to stay if u are going there for 2 nights.
I had a horrible experience. Fifth floor had a horrific scent, was unbelievable. Rooms were super small, so please be mindful of that. If you are traveling with many luggages, you’ll have to open them on the bed. Also, for those small rooms there are no restrooms, so you’ll have to leave your room to go to the restroom. More expensive rooms have a private restroom but still not worth it. Sacrifice paying more to stay at another Hotel! It will be much more worth it. A 1 star is too high a rating for this Hotel (It shouldn’t even be called a Hotel).
TLDR: I wouldnt stay here unless youre so beyond desperate that you have nowhere else to go (in which case, bring garbage bags for your stuff and something to kill the bugs).Genuinely I dont think I could have picked a worse hotel. The rooms are whatever- small is fine, you get what you pay for and I only paid $40 a night for a Manhattan hotel. Yet, I have been in three different rooms and each has had bugs. Not just bedbugs, but lice as well. This also isnt one or two bugs, its an infestation. I woke to them crawling near my legs. When bedbugs bite you in your sleep and then you roll over and crush them, they leave a rusty stain or sometimes blood smear. It doesnt take much effort to find evidence of this, even on clean sheets. There were some when I got there, more when I woke up. Theyve definitely not been bleached either, considering how bright some stains are. When the staff was presented with the problem, they claimed there was nothing they could do and sort of shrugged and handed me different room keys (twice). One of the staff suggested I was bringing them in, despite watching them crawl up from the side of the bed. I would be better off sleeping on a park bench. This place absolutely should be condemned or shut down. It is unsafe for the public to be staying in considering such a widespread bug infestation.Beyond the bugs, the rooms are paper thin. I could hear every sound of traffic through the night and even the people near my room quietly whispering. The rooms have a nauseating stench of cigarette smoke, despite frequent No Smoking signs. There is no toilet paper in the fifth floor bathroom, you have to use the rolls placed in your room (something unmentioned to me until I noticed too late). The rooms are so hot, half because of the size and lack of ventilation, half because I believe they turn off the air conditioning at night to save money. Avoid this place at all costsTo give one positive aspect, the hotel has the potential to be a cheap option for travellers. Much of the staff is nice and the rooms would be (mostly) fine, were they taken care of correctly.I have one more night left; anyone know of any better hotels?
First of all, it is CHEAP. So, I did not expect much. Secondly, it is in a nice location in Chinatown — close to plenty of stores, restaurants, and convenient places.Here is my experience from staying there:• No elevators but stairs; we stayed at the 4th floor so it was a challenge to carry our luggage. And to carry them back out.• Really thin walls that you can hear your neighbors or they can hear you.• You can hear the footsteps from the floors above you.• The rooms can get really warm.• The employees were great people, although one of them sound like he is yelling a lot. Do not be frightened, he is a cool dude and that is just how he is.• Our room and bathroom were both clean.• The beds and pillows were not dusty.• The WiFi was strong.• Ask them anything and they will do their best to accommodate your request. Very kind people.I would definitely come back if I have the chance. Besides, I went here because I just need a place to spend for the night while I go explore New York during most of the day.
Worst, Cant say how much worst it is.. After reading reviews I was having doubt to book the room.Before booking I called them and asked whether myself, my wife and my kid can stay in Economy Double room, they mentioned that we can stay if we are not asking extra bed. I paid $90, my expectation was just a room with king bed. What was there is wordless to explain, please see the pictures. A dirty twin bed with two pillows, 5 ft * 6 ft is the entire size. Once i open the door, my family mood got spoiled and my 4 year kid was saying innocently this is doggys house. My kid doesnt even converse well, just by looking the appearance and size, she is telling that this is doggys house. one side we were laughing and other side we were thinking to get in or go back. Fortunately that was last day of our trip and we checked in at 9 PM, we just sit in the bed without sleep and checked out the room at 7. I am not sure, how the government provided license to run a hotel like this. Never see such a worse junk, there is a open space at the roof top through which smoke coming constantly from the road. Anyone can see and hear whats happening in the room. There were 42 rooms in the floor, all the people in that floor have only two dirty bathroom to share. I was expecting that 3 or 4 rooms will share the bathroom. No escalator, No AC/Heater, No papers in toilets .. , dont know how people stay during winter. For the $90, what i got is just 5 ft * 6 ft with TWIN size bed with BED BUGS , which we can get for free in road side platform... PLEASE CONSIDER THE REVIEW ...
The rooms are quite small, a double room only had enough room for you to walk around the bed. Small showers too. The staff are friendly, and location is good if you dont mind walking to major areas. TV didnt work, but I wasnt planning on using it anyway. For the price, I expected more quality, but its not bad for a quick stay.
It’s definitely not a luxury stay by any means and I’d never stay there again. The reason I gave a 4 stars is because when I stayed here a few years back I was a poor college student here to attend a conference and had to pay my own lodging for a night. All things considered, I appreciated the fact that there was even an option to stay at a hotel with this price range considering most Airbnb’s May appear cheaper but would add cleaning fees etc which makes it significantly more expensive.TLDR: I liked it because I was a poor student but now that I’m a working adult I would never consider staying here
Ive rented the same room here twice. Its private, the tenants mind their own business, the prices cant be beat especially in NYC and the staff are very polite. Clean, comfortable and cozy.
A éviter : chambres très petites, linge sale, déchiré ou troué. Impossible de rentrer dans la chambre avec 2 personnes et 2 valisesIts a shame.We were looking for a low cost accommodation but there it was just uninhabitable. The room was too small for 2 people with 3 suitcases. The bed reaches 3 of the walls and there is only 60 centimeters between the bed and the 4th wall. We had to pay an extra of 20$/night to get a bigger room.Still, the blankets and sheets are holed and dirty... I strongly not recommend!
Their bed wasn’t comfortable and room is too small. If you come to New York in summer then the room is way too hot. No AC. I couldn’t sleep at all. Only one public bathroom on each floor. Their location is surrounded by nosy condition. There is no elevator at all. The WiFi is great! I really don’t recommend to anybody. Unless you can handle their condition better than me.It is very affordable to pay. They are only 30 minutes to walk to 9/11 Memorial.
Please dont stay in this hotel, its not even worth checking or passing in front of. I only stayed for two days and THANK GOD it was only two days, any longer and I would have gone crazy. Long stairs no elevator, smells bad everywhere, the room I was in smelled like wet socks! Bed was messed up, dirty sheets, they didnt even bother to zip the stupid pillow case close!!! Room so small you can barely walk around, shower not working, AC not working, no fan, and I can even hear the sounds people make living around me. And OH MY GOD the bed bugs!!! They ate me alive, I have bite marks all over. They should close this place down forever!!! Hate it!!!
We had a wonderful experience. We booked a room that was supposed to have two beds but when we got there, to our delight, it was a 6 by 6.5 room that barely fit a full size bed. And because of that my two friends and I got closer, literally. And when we were ready to go to bed there was on wonderful hole in the ceiling and we were afraid that when we woke up there would be two heads poking out watching us sleep, but we were grateful to only find one person staring down at us! And we even had a visitor, he was a friendly bug, but that wasn’t to bad he was great encouragement to get us out of our room. So overall I’d give it 10/10 stars, we will be back for sure!
We booked a room with two beds at this hotel, and when we got there the room was tiny, just enough to fit one bed, nothing like the pictures, so I went to talk with the guy at the reception and he said that they didnt have any rooms with two beds at this hotel. And in the room the sheets were dirty and stinked, the floor was dirty, there was no A/C, and on top of all there was only four bathrooms with showers outside the rooms for five floors. Worst hotel ever.
Cozy, COMFORTABLE and great staff. Great prices and CLEAN! Excellent place to stay downtown/Chinatown.... BEST Hotel below Houston Street! Worth the stay and VERY GOOD PRICES! Almost ALWAYS booked SOLID, so get your reservation in A.S.A.P.!
Terrible place with worse customer service.I have stayed here in the past so I will not go in to so much depth on the un-cleanliness or the not so comforting stay because for the price in NYC I guess you can not go wrong.However, a few days ago I attempted to check in after booking two nights through an app. The employee at the desk informed me that my check in was not until the next day. At this point I asked for him to book that night as well then. He informed me there was no rooms. I then go into the app and ask him why it would state availability. He responds with show him proof and then attempts to charge me more than the listed price on the app. After some back and forth I book it through the app. This man then cancels not only that booking but also the two nights that were booked a month in advance!!! Horrible experience and worst receptionist I have ever dealt with in my life.
If youre looking for ultra low budget, then this is your place. Hope y I u doing have more than a 20 pound bag, because lugging that up 4 flights of stairs will be fun (no elevator). The rooms are tiny and are just painted plywood. No sound barriers and the ceiling is essentially wire mesh that doesnt block noise (or critters) either. The bathrooms are extremely cold and there are no mats on the floors--MAKE SURE YOU BRING FLIP FLOPS to wear when getting out of the shower.
I paid $45 / night, and its exactly what i needed- a closet with a bed. I liked the minimalist style of the staff and squalid accommodations (sexy soundtrack included with stay). That stuff doesnt bother me; i like it. If you dont, maybe book a different hotel. Worked out great for me.
Bed bugs bed bugs bed bugs. Nasty hotel. I had a reservation there from 10/13-10/15 . Only stayed for 1 night because I started itching really bad. I wanted to get a refund for my other nights that I didn’t stay he said it’s none refundable. I called back and told them I’m having a bad reaction to the bedbugs bites and still no sympathy. The person I talked to on the phone that the owner or manager would not even entertain me because he don’t care about it. Beware people it’s not worth your money . This place is dirty.
I stayed at this place back in 2013 for a night. I was heading to NYC to see Crime In Stereo play a reunion show(band from Long Island, NY). I was dead-set on seeing them play, but I didnt want to have to try and make the train back down to South Jersey at 11:30 at night and get home at 3 in the morning. I saw this place online, it got poor reviews, but it fit my shoe-string budget, and I was literally just looking for a warm bed to sleep in for the night after the show.It neither exceeded or missed my expectations, yeah, no elevator, everything looked borderline sanitary, the rooms were tiny, the walls were paper thin, the sheets could have been cleaner. *No bed bugs though*.I got in at about 1AM(ended up running into some friends who were also in the city and we got drinks in Manhattan after the show). Only issue I had with noise was at about around 3:30 in the morning some drunk foreign kids stumbled in, super loud; I just threw on my headphones with some calming music. Next time I awoke I took my earbud out and all was quiet- problem solved. Woke up the next morning, checked out, took the subway to Penn Station and headed back home. Hotel met my expectations(which was just a warm bed). Shower was communal and was admittedly pretty grimy for a hotel, no problem though, I brought my flip-flops for that exact reason.Besides the unclean sheets and anecdotal incidents with bed bugs people experienced, which Ill give you isnt acceptable; regarding everything else a lot of the reviewers on here need to realize youre paying $50 for a hotel - in NYC. If youre going to pay bottom dollar for a hotel here, your expectations should be bottom dollar. If you want something larger, more aesthetically pleasing, with top-notch customer service, and all the amenities, youre going to be spending $200+ a night, in NYC at least(and dont get me wrong, I enjoy dabbling in excellent hotels). But this is a place you stay when you just want a bed to crash in for 6 hours.
Worst hotel ever !!! They take our money without our agree in the website. In the website, they show some good room include a bathroom in then and when we come they give us two separate bedroom and in the simple bedroom they don’t have a BATHROOM !! The shower don’t run normally. Every things here is dirty ! The bed is dirty, the floor is dirty, the furniture is dirty and the hotel smell pee, cigarette and another weird smell. The bedrooms is so smalls ! When we come to have our money back they told us than we can’t have our money back ! If you don’t want to be disrespect and waist your time, please don’t come at this place !
The only reviews that are good on here say that you get What you pay for. Even in NYC on a low budget the hotel is still responsible for washing the sheets and cleaning the bathrooms. If they just cleaned up im sure nobody would mind the small rooms because THAT is what you expect for the price. Not to get bit up by bed bugs and have to stay in complete filth.
This place has two things going for it... Location and price! Super close to subway, Chinatown and Little Italy. Very cheap considering its NYC!The rooms are very small (I couldnt even open my room door all the way before it hit the bed), dirty rooms, dirty linen, dirty shared bathroom. Never had to wait for use of the bathroom but there was only two bathrooms on the entire floor.Yes I had to walk to my floor, but that had been made very clear from their website so that was not a surprise.The staff were ok. Initially not super friendly, but by the end of my stay they were a lot more accommodating.
The staff was really polite and ready to help and the location is really good for ny but the room was terrible. You can hear everything from the other room so there is no chance to sleep if your neighbour is not sleeping. The bathroom was one on the floor so if you book a room with shared bathroom it is very unlikely that you will have a chance to take a shower in time for your meeting or whatever becouse the bathroom will be occupied all the time. And the sheets were dirty so you will probably have to ask for new set of sheets.
I do not recommend this place at all I’ll give it a half a star the bed I was in what’s the size of Kevin Hart even know they offered to put me in a better room I was still uncomfortable. Hotels.com did not even tell me what location it was in or where I was staying in the pictures on the Internet are very deceiving on their website. How much 6 6 guy trying to lay in a 4”3 bed!! In the bathrooms oh don’t let me get started with the bathroom is disgusting. I had to fight for a refund because your policy is no refunds thank God I got at least two days back the days that I wasn’t staying because I had to get out of there. I was only there to audition for a business trip.
When I stayed there, the towels were yellow and the ac was old and I think it was only cold because of the outside. You also have to walk up stairs a lot to get to your room. Also the sides of the beds were very dirty and just plain dust. Sometimes I need someone to open the door for me because it was locked. Though, the beds were somewhat nice I guess.
Very bad, but I cannot say I hated it. Just very strongly disliked.I saw no insects, had no known bedbugs, no filth in bed. But it was still very dirty and felt unsafe and the walls were so super thin I was surprised they actually had a tv installed in most rooms, since it is bound to annoy everyone else.Slanting staircase steps, making it feel like you will fall backwards.Do NOT stay here unless you have NO other choices. If nothing else, at least it will be an experience. I survived.
If you are looking for a place to close your eyes for the night, this is the place for you, only you should keep your eyes closed from the moment you check in. We got a great rate on a 1 room private bathroom that included mold in the bedroom/shower/bathroom and the previous guests hair. There was a tomato sauce stain and cigarette burns on the sheets and the climate was controlled by a wall mounted fan. It was truly a testament to living life on the edge and worked for our purposes.Happy nomading!
The room is not very clean, the furniture are obsolete or broken. The bath towel are very old with spots. For the single room is like you sleep in a storage cabinet. We can not say its an hotel because nobody will clean your room during your stay neither make the bed. Its very expensive for the service. The only good thing, its the location, you have a subway really close and a lot of Chinese restaurants close to the hotel.
You get what you paid for. This was a last minute trip. I was lucky enough to get a room with a private bathroom. The room was tiny. Everything needed to be updated. The bed, air vent in the bathroom and the rotating fan mounted on the wall were all very loud.The pillow cases and towels had stains. The blow dryer was rattling when turned on. Thankfully I was hardly in the room. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you absolutely have no choice.Oh yeah, good luck if you have large luggage. There are no elevators.
One star is being too generous. They have no elevators, so if you’re planning on bringing more than just a small bag- good luck.Seemed like they placed most guests on the 5th floor.Bathrooms are DIRTY! Wish I could upload the picture I took because wow! Plan on bringing shower shoes, since everybody on one floor share bathrooms, it’s super hot in the rooms. There’s only a small fan on the corner of the room which just blows hot air. They don’t have vending machines, nor do they have water, coffee, or anything of that sort. Rooms are super small! There’s only a bed and a small tv hanging from the wall. There’s not much room to move around, especially if you have a big suitcase. You’re better off spending your money in another location.
This is the third class hotel ever. There is no negative star system otherwise these douche bags deserve negative stars. Small rooms, no basic facilities, bed bugs, stinky bathrooms and most severe of all, RUDE staff. PLEASE, DO NOT COME HERE, just looking at low price. Spend more money and live with peace and comfort.
I can accept the tragically small size of the guest room since this is what we paid for. But the neglected filth is unacceptable. Since there are about 30 rooms on each floor with only 2 units of bath+toilet provided. There should be more cleaning scheduled. I really wonder how the US authorities concerning about hygiene allowed this.
Rooms somewhat dont make sense. I ended up sharing a room that only had one bed while others had multiple. There was no choice in this decision. The rooms are small. And I lived in the equivalent of a Gulag during undergrad. The bathroom is shared. One on the 3rd floor and one on the 5th. The bathrooms suck and if you arent the first in the shower, the tile floor will be a slippery mess. Toilet paper is provided in the room in case it runs out. With 15 rooms a floor, make sure you check. Towels, sheets, and comforter were stained horribly. That being said, its $50 a night and Im splitting it so ya know...
This place cost much more than stated, they charged $138 per room for a tiny, dirty, and hot place that I was unwilling to let my child sleep in. We were told that they had two double beds in each and then when we arrive they only had one bed in this tiny room but even still we could not cancel or reservation due to their 48 hr policy even if they were made in less than 48hr from check in. They also have no parking associated with the hotel, so we got a parking ticket trying to unload our stuff. and the picture shown the hall to the rooms aka the only inside pic they show is very clean compared to what the inside looks like.
Everybody listen up and listen well. Do not I repeat do not reserve a room at this hotel. I tried to do the same just like everybody else who has left a terrible reviews and I had a very bad experience. They even hung up the phone on me 4 times. When I reserve the room initially I had to cancel my flight because my mother was sick and I had to stay back to take care of her. In spite of canceling my reservation they still charged my card and had an attitude about it. Do not... I repeat... do not reserve a room at this hotel ..it is an awful place. If I can give it a negative Star rating I would...
I WENT THERE AND THERE WERE RATS EVERYWHERE AND THERE WAS A SHIRTLESS KID RUNING AROUND THE HALLS
(Room with one bed for two guests) If you are looking for cheap accomodation not far from the city centre - these guys got you covered. Just dont expect anything other than a place to sleep (literally the bare minimum). Biggest issue is the absence of an elevator as there are quite a few steps to take and the hallway is a bit narrow. The bed was loud and the room was barely big enough for two people to stand next to each other (walls are thin, too). I give them 3 stars because they helped me stay on a budget, which was essential for me.
Nasty , has bed bugs and know it. A lot of steep stairs, hot rooms, dirty sheets , no cable, no help with bags, runs out of towels, and nasty attitudes from owners. The monthly renters that live their come before paying guests. No help ordering taxis for us either. I really dont recommend this hotel and you will bring bed bugs home with you to infect your house. Awful Place, needs to be shut !!!!
Well, I think one star is even too much for this hotel. I wish there is negative star. The room is clean when I first walking. I went to sleep around midnight, but I found my body is so itch that I can’t bear it anymore. I turn on the light. There are bed bugs. First thing I report to the register. They changed another room for me. Unfortunately there was bed bugs in this room also, i report to the register again. He said that he can’t handle it any further. So, his manager come out, and say that they can’t refund the money to me, and provide me with another room. His attitude wasn’t too nice. I was too frightened to take that offer. Got bite twice in one night. I strongly recommend anyone who interesting sleep with bed bugs then you can stay in this hotel, otherwise find a better one. By the way, they charged me $95 per night.
RUN! Do not stay here. There is no such thing as a budget hotel in New York, you make up the cost with things getting stolen from you and the risk to your safety. If you ever wanted to experience a night in a mental psyche ward then this is the place for you. Unfortunately 1/5 stars is too high for this place
For the very economical rate of about $120/night for a single room with a full-sized bed with private bathroom and flat screen tv, I gave it the three star rating. The good: - The price was cheaper than most after searching all over the city for a private room (not a hostel). - The location on Bowery street, just below Grand street and a block from the Manhattan bridge means youre very close to the Grand Street B/D train station and steps away from the heart of Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho and the Lower East Side. - The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The bad: - No elevator, and just to enter the lobby, you have to carry whatever luggage you possess up a very long flight of stairs, plus whatever additional flights of stairs to your room. - The look of the entire place is just unattractive. The decor is very minimal and ugly and overall it looks dingy and cheap. The paint on the walls looks ancient and linoleum looked like it was missing in places. - The furnishings all look beat up - the bed was squeaky, the nightstand table looked like it was banged up, the fan on the wall was noisy and rattled intermittently. - Hot water took a while to kick in and A/C kicking in was super loud. - Bed cover/duvet looked ancient and probably hardly ever washed. - Wi-Fi sucked, unreliable. - The room doors looked very flimsy. Overall, for an extra $30 or $40/night, there are better places if you can find discounted deals, but if your budget is super cheap and you want to be downtown, it is a decent pick if you have very low expectations.
WORST HOTEL EVERThe room was so dirty (bedbugs, cockroaches, blood on the sheets, water in the bathroom ground). We also found some pills on the room ground ... The bed was old and broken (making a lot of noise). Our nights were disturbed by strange people (a woman yelling ALL NIGHT LONG, people fighting, etc.). You cannot close the doors with the keys, so its not secure at all, thin walls between rooms so you can hear EVERYTHING!!!!The photos of the room displayed on the booking websites are absolute LIES. For the same price, you can book much better place than this hell hole ! To avoid absolutely.
Spend 5 nights in this hotel. We had a small single bedroom with shared bathroom. When they say shared bathroom in the website it implied that there is one bathroom for atleast 2 bedrooms. But unfortunately, there were only 2 bathrooms for the whole 5th floor with contains more than 40 small bedrooms as shown in the photos. Also the A/C never worked properly because they never turned on the central AC. Not properly sanitized place. Do not go with KIDs
Disappointing that this sort of place can exist.Had to find somewhere last minute due to an AirBnB host cancelling on us. We found a double bed in this hotel.The room was grubby, toenailclippings on the floor, towels had stains on, the rooms are the size of cupboards. This sort of place is for people who really have no where else to stay.If you need a place to rest your head only and you’re not going to spend anytime in the room then this is for you.There is a shared bathroom between a whole floor of rooms and it isn’t looked after so there will be stains, dirt and a general uncleansiness about it.Really regret stumbling upon this place.
Fu**ing worst hotel in the City.High air conditioner, freaking cold and the receptionist can’t turn it off cause it turns off in the entire floor.Very dirty and hair all over the room.You can smell smoke in a non smokers room.Very small rooms without closet and you can barely open your luggage.Dont waste your money. There are better hotels in the City.
Ok, I wanna give this place a fair review. You get what you pay for, but honestly its not that bad. It does not smell weird, its a bed in a tiny room, theres no elevator, its a little ghetto, theres only two restrooms per floor, but overall if youre not coming to New York City to enjoy the luxuries of its hotels, then youll be fine staying here a night or two (three nights would seriously be pushing it). If I came back to NYC and was strapped for cash, I wouldnt hesitate to stay here.
I seriously should have read the reviews for this hotel slightly better. I will never want to be here again or recommend the place to anyone. The toilet was dirty, the sheets were dirty, the floor was dirty, the towels were dirty. It smelled weed all over the place. There was lots of noise, and the beds were uncomfortable and very old. There was no place to hang clothes. And the room was on the 4th floor without elevator. I dont recommend this place at all.
Worst hotel ever!!!! Look at the pictures I posted.Cleanliness is 1 out 10. Horrible, bed bugs around too so be careful. We took the duvet back to the reception and she was just like oh Ill change it without apologising or anything I think she already expected for people to understand it. Hotel is not even worth every penny.
Terrible! dirty, noisy & tiny. There were numerous stains on the walls, which were unfinished. The 2 shared toilets per floor were clogged and overflowing. When the staff was informed about the toilets, we were told to go to another floor to get a plunger. The sounds from other rooms and the clunky floor in the hallway are noticed with extreme clarity due to the spaces around the doors and the un-insulated and unfinished hanging ceiling. the room was just big enough for a small single bed and space to stand up beside the bed. Room dimensions were approximately 6 X 4, ridiculously small.I would never stay there again.
The worst place ever! Dirty, small, noice, smell hole, with mice and cockroaches. They sell some rooms for 2 persons, but bed is 1,70m * 1,5m. and no place for luggage. If u ask for bigger, because its for one liliput, not for 2 adult, u have to pay more... We catch mouse and cocroach, they dont care... Window its not possible close, socket in bed without cover, see the pictures and dont book the bad dangerous unhealthy hole! :-(
I know it gets a lot of bad ratings. But for what it is, they met the basic standards. Shower, clean beddings, soap, toothpaste, clean towels and a clean room. The shower head was a bit rusted and busted. But, this is lower Manhattan where its 300 to 900 pounds a night for a hotel.
Good location and price.Make sure u have room next to the front desk because those are the most clean and without the bed bugs.Tip: Use fire escape stairs to acces the roof it offer nice views although its little dangerous but definitely worth to see and have a drink with friends.
The only perk is the location. From the front desk who didn’t even look up at me. The 3 flights of stairs I had to carry my suitcase and the disgusting rooms that aren’t anywhere near worth the price paid. I was literally afraid to fall asleep, had to put down coats and sweaters on the bed to avoid directly laying on it. Never again, after the photos I took were sent to Agoda they immediately refunded my money. I wasn’t expecting a 4 star experience, hell not even a 2 star but the LEAST they could do was actually clean the place. The sheets, blankets and mattress were stained. The TV was bolted to the wall using keys as washers. The stand had stains and was missing some corners. Ottoman was stained. I could literally see into the hallway through the ceiling lights. The bathroom floor was soaking wet and dirty. And my child and I I had the pleasure of hearing a couple have sex while standing at front desk to checkout. This place needs to be shut down.
Not so much a hotel as it is an SRO, which stands for single room occupancy or hostel. No elevator and very high floors. Not terribly pleasant looking. The staff is very friendly however but its a dump.
What I like: Its location. This hotel locates at the heart of the Manhattan Chinatown. It is surrounded by many restaurants and markets, and within walking distance to metro stations. Dining and traveling from this hotel should be trouble-free.What needs to improve: The entire hotel is outdated. Rooms are small. Noise of your neighbors can easily penetrate the walls. The number of electric gaskets is limited. Wifi speed is slow, particularly between 6 pm and 11 pm.Anyway, you get what you pay.
This place was by far the worst Ive ever been too, its cheap but not worth it. Spend the Extra money and stay somewhere else. First night we found a bed bug on our pillow, the pillow cases were dirty, there was hair all over the bed and pillows. The employees were smoking inside the hallway when its no smoking. The next morning we had bites all over our body. I will be reporting to the health department this place needs to be shut down.
If I could give this 0 stars I would . I had to switch my room 1AM in the morning 3 times and all the rooms had bed bugs Room 528, 523 and 417 . That is a shame . I ended up having to leave at 2AM because of this I had nowhere to go that night . They didnt give the refund intill I threatened to call the cops and manager. Disgusting place no elevator. No AC which is false advertisement because that was advertised. Bathrooms are dirty ass hell . The floor was wet and stink . I had to wait 30 minutes just to shower and i was tore up by bed bugs me and my boyfriend. DO NOT GO HERE
If you are visiting New York and you dont have heaps of money then I urge you to do this. Get an extra job before you leave home, borrow some cash, get a loan, do anything but do not book into this hell. It is dirty and depressing. This should be relabelled the third world hotel, its truly appalling.They are not rooms, they are closets. You can hear people next to you and the place is swarming with cockroaches. Its the cheapest place in Manhattan, thankfully the city itself was entertaining enough for this place to not totally blemish my trip. Id rather spend a night in the hole in a maximum security prison. Im amazed this place hasnt been quarantined and shut down. Whoever is running this city needs to spend a night in this place to sort it out instantly its a absolute disgrace.
I booked a room in this hotel for about $90/night, two people. The room had no windows, and it was SO SMALL that the bed took 80% of the space. The door only opened half way because the bed blocked it. The conditions were inhumane.After we saw our room, we decided not to stay in this hotel and we asked for a refund. Fortunately, the receptionist accepted our request and gave us our money back.
4 flights of stairs. No elevators. But warm and clean. Close to the Lucky Star bus station that we were using. On Bowery Street so close to the train station. I would stay there again i just wished they had a bellboy to assist with bags
Awful. The rooms are supposed to be private but they are all connected via the ceiling, there isnt one. So I can hear the person next to me breathing and visa versa. Cleanliness is atrocious. The rooms are tiny. The bedding was dirty when I got there. Just stay away. Pay those few extra dollars and go to somewhere cleaner at least.
It is EXACTLY what you will get in Chinatown. Rooms are small, you can pay for your own bathroom or get a cheaper one for a hostel type shared bathroom, usually 2 shared bathrooms per 10 rooms. Not easy to find regular hole in the wall Chinese food even though in Chinatown. Bodegas are a few blocks towards the east, maybe west (didnt walk that far). Its not a bad place.
About the cheapest hotel you can get in NYC with good location and private bathroom I think. But that’s also about all the positive things to say about this place. Dirty, super small and cold rooms, smell of weed in the corridors all the time, not very helpful staff and if somebody talks in the room next to yours it sounds like they would be standing next to you.Wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you can afford something else.
Rooms were LITERALLY barely big enough to put suitcases in next to the bed. Dont get me wrong, they have a couple larger rooms, but chances of getting one without spending $150/night are slim to none. I was staying here during hurricane Sandy and they had no power, yet still charged full price for the rooms. Front desk staff was incredibly confrontational about pretty much anything with any guest that tried to speak to them. Cleaning starts at 7 am with loud Chinese men shouting at each other in the hallway. Also, there are false ceilings that make the rooms only 8 ft high instead of however tall they would truly be, but what his means is the rooms are glorified cubicles. Real walls + fake ceiling= still hearing EVERYTHING that happens in pretty much every room on the same floor
It was cheap (I paid $45-50 a night) the rooms are small. Thats really all I could ask for. For people with kids this is not for you. Its also an older building so no handicap accessibility.If you are traveling alone and do not want to stay in a hostel, its worth it in my honest opinion.
Worst hotel to stay, it had cockroaches, bedbugs, not clean bedsheet, floors, washrooms and toiletries.It doesnt have any elevator and if you get 4th floor to stay all you have to do is go by stairs with all your belongings. Front desk guy was not at all helpful. No housekeeping will be available till 9 in d morning.
Long stairs (many steps w/o elevator) to get to the rooms. Very simple accommodations. Friendly reception, well organised. Very Low price for NewYork...what you get is what you should expect for this price level, no surprise. Bottom line: a honest arrangement.
I have stayed here for about a week. While you are paying more than what you are getting, it is decent enough to get a good nights sleep. Compared to other similarly priced hotels in the vicinity this isnt that bad. In the mornings it is very hard to find a bathroom that is vacant. Also there id no room service or any kind of service to get your room cleaned. On my first day I saw onr cockroach in the bathroom and a bedbug on the bed. However, on the other nights I didnt see anything. This hotel isnt worth more than $60. Alot of these issue would be overlooked had the rates been cheaper. Id day $50 including all taxes and fees is the maximum they should charge for this. They seem to be taking advantage of people looking for a place to stay.
Worst hotel ever!!!! ... if you can call it even that. The walls are made of a single sheet of dry wall or at least it feels that way and you can hear the other people in their bed. The room was disgusting, the sheets were dirty and stained, hair from other people everywhere. I got out of the bathroom dirtier than I got in ... lets put it that way. If you see a five star review know is bs, they are trying to self promote. This is bad ... really bad. The only reason I am giving it a star is because Google wont let me put none.
Do NOT stay here. Rooms are dirty and they have bed bugs!! We had 3 nights booked and left after one! Spend extra money to go to a cleaner and safer hotel.
RUN!!!!I would give this hotel a 0 star if I could. I contracted bed bugs, I have been itching with bites all over my arms and legs scarring my gorgeous skin. This was my first time in NY and this happens smh. The room is a closet literally a closet. No mirror no dresser no nothing just a filthy bed with bugs and two bathrooms down the hall that were nasty as heck. This place should be closed down. I walked up 4 flights of stairs to get to my room. I hated to leave due to the stairs and I hated to return due to the stairs again and the closet. If u see World hotel please RUN!!!!! Never again. The only best part about staying here was hearing the female 2 doors down have sex. What a way to fall asleep and wake up to. Yup the walls r paper thin uh ohhhhh I mean theres no ceiling so yeah u will hear eachother talk and snore. This hotel was HORRIBLE!!!!
I Didnt have high expectations for this place considering the price, but still it managed to fall short.None of the facilities are clean, and the bathrooms are never stocked up with basic things like toilet paper and soap.Im Very frugal and always like to go for the cheapest hotels to save money, but this wasnt worth it. Ill Pay the extra for somewhere decent next time.
ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUSIm not kidding, never ever stay here. Just dont.This place was so disgusting I would not walk directly on the floor. And thats coming from someone who finds the subway rats endearing.I learned more about bed bugs and mites today than I ever cared to know, and I wont be surprised if I get some first hand experience with bite treatment after this.I cannot feel a brush or a tingle on my body without checking for bugs after this pit (which surprisingly maintains its accuracy although I stayed in a 5 floor walk up).This isnt even touching on the rudeness, the creepiness, the disgusting everything, and that walking up all those stairs is a funhouse; if NY ever experiences an earthquake this ramshackle accordion will quickly find itself living up to its pit-like reputation.Seriously, if you can board-up with the hooverville style tents in central you will have a better time. This is NOT hyperbole.
DON’T STAY HERE. My family and I spent the night here. The hotel was dingy and you could tell it was unkept. The next morning we discovered we were bitten by BED BUGS all night. It was horrific, we woke up itchy and with small blood dots all over our bed. We all had at least 20 bites each all over our body. Please don’t stay here, it’s not worth it!
This is what it is. You need a quick affordable place to lay your head this is it. The single rooms are about 10×3. Yep. But the bathrooms down the hall are clean. They offer no coffee, no ice, and no water, no vending machines, and no stores nearby that take debit or credit cards. But do have a pot of hot water if you want.You will have to leave Chinatown if you want anything, or carry alot of cash with you. Be sure to bring atleast a gallon of water with you if you decide to stay.
WARNINGDISCRETION IF ADVISED , must read .First off my friend book a hotel because it was cheap compared to others and here in Florida a red roof cost the same amour and is pretty good, roomy and nice looking . and Im use to staying at MarriottsNow this place here. we went to the front window the attendant was at got our room key . I could tell it was small from the first hallway but its my first time in Newyork, what I expected . but so after the 3 flight of steep ass stairs climbing with our luggage, because theres no elevator . we finally find our room . which the door was the size of a small closet door . our neighbors had ther door open which is uncommon at hotels that Im use too . only place Ive witness such a thing is in military dormitory. but anyhow we open the door , and the door opened about 3/4 of the way before hitting the bed . there was a full size dingy bed with spots on the blanket and the walls were dirty !! I was appalled at when the front clerk asked for my credit card I case any damages were done to the hotel because it looked like someone had already ducked it up before we got there. there were dirt and streak marks on the wall that I realized came from people resting there get on the wall from sitting on the bed . as that is how close the wall is . the were multiple autographs and complaints written on the map on the back of the door.quote this room gave me fleasthere is about L shaped walk way of space surrounding the bed . but the button half of the L is blocked by a little dresser with a 13 in tv in it (ours was broken) that probably only received Korean Chanels .after being in shock of the room I took a walk to see where this famous public restroom was . there were two bathrooms . in both bathrooms the floors were wet and covered in dirt and residents hair . the showers , had black mole all in the corners of them abd as I looked up the wall following the mole as I took a piss , the only thing this bathroom was worthy of the ceiling was infested with mold and mildew . I was so disgusted thought what if theres bed bugs!!! I went back to the roomto tell my friend were not staying here . and told them to get off the bed soon as they asked why, we had a knock on the door . the chezk neighbor nextdoor was trying to talk to me in another lay gauge which I didnt understand but I could understand the universal sign for bug spray , point and under bed . we spent three hours fussing with Travelocity . after them doing there worst/ best to help we stuck it out for one night . we slept in our clothes. put iur head on our jackets and use the towels as blankets assuming they got washed more frequent then the sheets. we decide too stay at a house that was being rented out . tho it wasnt deep in the city and 70 a night out at the peoples house we stay it was worth it!! I also believe I got but in the shoulder there by a bug . maybe a spider .ps. I forgot to mention 10 seconds after turning off the light a rich ran up the wall .u have been warned .
I love Chinese food and this hotel is located in China Town in Manhattan, NYC. The hotel has a tag of budgetary price. Its clean and surrounded by Chinese eateries. If one wants to go somewhere, taxi, bus and subway are just outside the hotel. Time Sq, Macys store, are not much away. Little Italy, etc. are at walking distance. Staff of the hotel is quite helpful. I will return.
A life experience. First, I was impressed with the no BS approach of the receptionist, he had me going in maybe 1, with wifi code and all. (For Pennsylvania Hotel, the wait was maybe one hour). The rooms are amusingly tiny. The walls are extremely thin, everyone could hear everything. Like, the asian girl trying to reach an orgasm for half an hour, then the pimp negotiating whether to punch her sexual partner for not having cash ready, for such a priceless experience he had (actual words). Oh, the ceiling in my room was not completely done, so there was some light leaking in from outside. Its life. Embrace it. It made me feel more connected to the human race, you know? Other reviews mention bed bugs but I didnt notice, I was on the 5th floor. I was really disappointed that there was no breakfast offered (lol Im kidding).
We had a very good time while staying here. My only complaint is that you guys need to tell the costumer ahead of time about the $100 dollars per day getting charged the first time because not everyone is planning to use the hotel card to buy stuff.
I have already slept on the skytrain station waiting for the first train of the day and it wasnt as horrible as staying in this hotel was.Worst experience of my life, receptionist really rude and dont help you w anything.If you are planning to come to NYC to have a great time, PLEASE DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!Dirty bathroom! Dirty place! Bugs everywhere! Idk how it still is opened!
Well it isnt bad. If you pick the economy room, it will be on 5th floor. There is no elevator. Nobody will help you. Economy room is the size of your closet. The bathrooms are dirty... feces splash on the toliet. The bed is okay. The sheets and blanket are clean but old. I only have one coat hanger. No tv. I purchased $10 for Directv Now online. Free Wifi. Restaurants around the hotel are mostly Chinese restaurants. Have to walk a little far if you want McDonalds. Popeyes is 3 blocks away. 2 Burger King are closed, because customers complained about their services on Yelp. Street vendors are selling Asian food, fruit & veg and raw seafood. Very interesting. If youre spoiled, then go stay at Sheraton which is nearby.
Its hard to describe this hotel. If you are a tourist looking for a cheap accommodation in the city, do not even think about giving a shot at this place because it will make your New York experience quite a miserable one. If you are based in New York in need of a temporary roof above yourself for whatever reasons, this place may be one of your last results. If you are claustrophobic, pyrophobic, phonophobic, monophobic, or even erotophobic, forget about this place altogether.
World (s worst) HotelDirty, tiny room, stained pillows, insects in the room, total of 3 toilets for the whole 3 floors, no lift, no laundry service, no food, and some very interesting clientele. Paper thin walls.Hot showers though...Would not recommend.
Disgusting...dont waste your money here. We had to have our room changed because of a possible bedbug issue. Plus, you can literally here the people in the next room coughing. Horrible horrible horrible. I dont know how theyre still open. We stayed half the night, then left. Absolute nightmare!!!!!
Stay away from this hotel. The location is good and is cheap, however the place is really filthy. The bathroom was disgusting and full of hair. The bed sheets where all yellowish with stains and holes. It seems that they DO NOT CLEAN the rooms
🛏The New World Hotel located at 101 Bowery #2 Chinatown , NYC is by far a Hotel.It is more like an SRO, except the SRO’s rooms are probably bigger.I was invited to crash here 1 late evening by a good buddy of mine. He had instructed me to go check in because he was running late, and the room would be in both names.When I approached the counter, which served as a Check In Counter, it looked like some type of restaurant cashier counter, and not a Hotel counter at all.I was informed there was no reservation in either of our names, the clerk informed me I should go and check at their sister property down the street. I did, and same old, same old. No reservation in either of our names also.Being real real late, or early in the morning, I just walked out and phoned,y friend and informed him of the situation.He told me to be patient, and he will look into it.Into it he did look, but in person and at both hotels before they were able to locate the reservation.I was even less please when I was told to go to room xyz, and you had to find the room yourself. Wait for it, the room was no bigger than my current bathroom in my NYC apartment. Of the wall was a smaller than cot size bed, no drawers, no hangers, no closet, no TV and the bathroom is of course outside the room.I can not tell you what the price of the room costed for the night, because my friend booked and paid for it. So I can not tell you if the room was worth the money for the night.
Cool place for Backpackers. ....though many reviews are against New World Hotel....I found it REALLY clean...n the bad reviews were all bullshit.The bedsheets were new n clean....Toilets were clean...I guess it is the Guests who come from the gutters who mess things up n then write bad reviews. Only hitch is the 3 storey climb.The staff were friendly. I am from Sri Lanka n I recommend this hotel to BPs. It is one of the cheapest in New York n one cannot expect wall to wall carpeting here. It is centrally located near Bowery, Grand n Canal subways.Chinatown n Little Italy is few blocks away n finding sonething to eat is no problem at all.
The building felt and looked as if it was about to fall over. The rooms where 6 × 4 with cockroaches and no heat. The staff was nice. For the cost if I had to do it again... Id sleep in my trunk.
I stayed there some years ago. Rooms are quite small but its location and price are really good! I had a good time there!
Small stinky rooms with full of bed bugs. They never clean bed sheets and 50 people share the 2 bathrooms. They also dont clean bathrooms. Best place to destroy your money and mood.
This place was such a disappointment!!!!!!! I cant believe I fell for this rip off! I walked into my room and I couldnt even walk into it! It is horrible!! The rooms are just tooooo small and the place is not to standard.! It might even be illegal! There is a community bathroom and it is nasty and dirty.! Do not book your stay here! I had to find another hotel last minute.! Good thing is a found another one and Im not staying on the streets tonight.! I sat on the bed to try and find another hotel. But it was a big mistake as I looked over there were bed bugs! I wish I could give them -10 stars instead of one! The price is NOT WORTH YOUR SAFETY!!!
If I could I would give this hotel NEGATIVE TEN STARS. Im not the type of person to leave reviews, but I made a point to make a review for this hotel to save others from having a terrible, TERRIBLE experience like the one I had. Theres a long list of things that make this hotel awful but the one thing that I could absolutely not tolerate were the BEDBUGS! The moment I walked into the room with my sister-in-law I saw a bed bug CRAWLING on one of the mattresses. I thought that would be it, but as the night went on more and more started coming out. And they were coming from everywhere but the main place was from the curtain which was directly beside my bed. (Also THE ROOMS ARE TINY so theres nowhere to go to escape these bugs, I felt like I was on an episode of Fear Factor). They were crawling all over my things and onto me and at one point I saw more than 20 crawling at once all over the curtains. Needless to say I DIDNT SLEEP that night. And the BITES they left were absolutely DREADFUL. Moving on lets talk about the bathrooms...Disgusting. It looked like it never gets cleaned and its shared with the other people staying on your floor. I felt so dirty just stepping in there that I had to forgo my shower that night (which was very disappointing after a long day). There are more things I could write to dissuade you from staying at this hotel, but I think Ive said enough and if you need more persuasion not to stay here then go ahead and give the place a go yourself and let me know how it goes. I hope this review saves someones trip to New York from being an awful experience.
This place is A DUMP its for people who wants to do a one night stand, the rooms are dirty , unkept, unprofessional service. There is no elevator to take your things up stairs, all walk up. Who ever owns this so call hotel needs to keep this one off the web site. This hotel gets zero stars.This is the worse place in the world and they call them selves HOTEL its a DUMPSTER its not a place for any one to say they want a room to sleep a second the whole place is nasty disgusting sucking make you want to vomit no one should ever go there PLEASE the BEDSPREAD the so called COMFORTER looks like they pick it up from the dump and they say UNREFUNDABLE because they are forcing you to accept it as is And totally disgusted I run out of words. Please dont go there am begging any one who might have thought of it youll regreat it and have Night MARES
Most disgusting and the WORST hotel ever. Towels were dirty, blankets were dirty, my bedsheets had multiple blood stains! Lucky we only stayed for one night. I didnt even take a shower cuz it was so dirty.
The experience was horrible. The walls of my room were extremely dirty, with marks of things Id rather not imagine than they are. The sheet seemed to have been used already. The bathroom filthy, all wet and full of mosquitoes flying in that humidity.
Do heed the warnings! I wouldn’t stay here even if it’s free. I had a friend visiting and I didn’t have space to accommodate him. He wanted a cheap place where he couple leave his belongings and explore the city. We left as soon as we entered this dump.
This hostel-esque Chinatown motel boasts a walk-up entry from a non-descript door off the street, then two flights of stairs per level up. Rooms have paper-thin walls, often marred with marks and graffiti; towels available upon request.
Hotel is on 2nd to 6th floor with NO elevator. Room walls are paper thin. Room next to mine was two meth addicts up all night talking incessantly and arguing with each other. Welcome to New York. Love this city despite the crackheads.
Tiny rooms. Bathroom was always dirty. I could not get any sleep because hotel workers kept yelling and doing something right near my door all night and day. Hot room, no window or AC. Never again.
Dirty rooms and sheets. There was cocaine still on the wall pictures. The staff mop the floors with vinegar and the rooms are stinking of smoke. Towels are all stained. I saw 3 different rooms and they were mostly terrible.
Hell hotel in New York. I paid $80 for a room. Everything was terribly dirty, blood stains on floor, lots of bed bugs and my whole body with terrible scars. During 6 am somebody knocked my door twice within 5 minutes. I asked who was it but no answer. Room use metal key so anyone could make a copy and come back to do whatever they intend.... I only spent one nite and left. I had to visit doctors twice but when I emailed the complaint to the Manager Wong, no reply....Never again...can we tell New York Health Authority to shut it down ??
World Hotel is strategically located in Manhattan Chinatown, the staff is very kind and helpful. Rooms are reduced but their colorful chinese decoration makes the stay experinece feel like a great world tour. Toillets are shared but placed in the centre of the corridor so you can hear from your bed if they are occupied so you dont have to move from your bed till you are sure they are available. World Hotel offers what a competitive price international hotel could best offer to the most demanding clients around the world. If you go for this option during your stay in NYC dont miss the sticky rice chinees biscuts in the block behind. In general I largely recommend World Hotel for demanding but adventourus travelers to the great apple :)
No elevator stayed two weeks and I was on the 5th floor, shared bathroom was disgusting, with cockroaches in it, room was so little!!!! I changed rooms and was on the 3rd floor with private bathroom, still small room a bit cleaner. Staff was ok.
This sucks discusting bugs are there and will keep you company all night When i went there the bed was full with bugs and I to leave so if you want to come to that hotel good luck I just hate it.
World Hotel is more a hostel than a hotel. Very sparse and utilitarian, its not a warm or appealing space. Facilities are old, worn, and dirty. Dingy is perhaps a better descriptor — people who stay here should only be concerned with staying in Manhattan for cheap, not pleasant accommodations. Service is polite if short.
Very bad experience. The bed sheets and blankets were tore and had some marks. Even the basic things like toilet paper and towels were not kept inside the room. The rate was not too low. Atleast basic facilities are expected.
I normally dont leave reviews but shame on anyone giving this hotel anything more than 1 star. This hotel was disgusting. I stayed up all night because I was afraid of the roaches crawling on me, didnt bother showering because the shower was disgusting as well.This place should be illegal. Its a hell-hole
I wouldnt even recommend to the homeless. Nearly had sn asthma attack going up the long flight of stairs. Blankets were all chewed by some rodent or other, evidence of bed bugs, and mold on curtains. Made booking online and was told this is not the case and charged more. Stay away
Ok, not exactly a five star hotel, but even HOSTELS have common courtesies such as an elevator and complimentary water. Whats more, I woke up to hear loud swearing and racist slurs from the staff. When I told them everyone can hear them, one of them was just like Ok? Still, better than sleeping on the street.
This place is absolutely convenient. The subway, bus station and resteraunt is near by, you can just walk about 5 mins got to those place. There also have the ATM, and public computer to search something you want. But just as cheap as its one night value (during April Spring Break, one night only cost you $140.05), this hotel is outdated: old furniture, old bath equipment, thick wall (which you can readily hear the voice from you neighbors room and hallway, even you can fell the shake from your upper floor), slow wifi, dirty bed sheets (you almost can found hair in every sheets), very bright light, have little shaky(my room), half channel TV.I askd for the staff to fix the light and she just noted it down and ignore the problem in next day, this manner is really upset me because this stuff is sweet when you talk with she...I booked this hotel online, the picture looks awesome, just worthy to stay for the busy time in the New York, but it totally different.My conclusion is: this hotel suit for young people.
This hotel is very dirty, they dont clean up after guests. There are Bedbugs in almost every room. The rooms are the size of a janitors closet, even worst than a Prison. I would rather sleep on a Park bench in Central Park.
The cheapest option in Manhattan is not going to be luxurious. That being said, my room and bathroom were both sufficiently clean, the bed was comfortable enough, and the location was excellent.
Bed bugs and mites. Neighbors who kept beating on my door threatening me. Emergency doors propped open and all kinds of people sneaking in. I called the front desk and spoke with the night shift multiple times and was hung up on after being told not his problem. I asked for a different room or another hotel. I was laughed at.
Had multiple bed bug bites and found at least 10 of them on the blanket... its infested with them and they know it!!!! The bathroom is disgusting and has a bad odor in the hallways. DONT BE FOOLED WITH THE PRICE!!!
Very very very small rooms, and I mean it when I say small. There is just space for shoes, and a single bed. And, of course without any windows, and sheets were dirty as well. Staff literally gets a lot complains about rooms, and washroom.
If youre on a tight budget, just wanted a place to crash and arent picky then this hotel is for you. For $60 you couldnt beat that with a wooden pole. Close to the B and D subway line, Chinatown, Little Italy, SoHo, and shopping; check out the photos.
Dirty place, but as expected for the price. One bath towel had ugly yellow stains. Lots of hair around bathroom sink. Bed hard as a rock. Slept on top of covers because scared to see whats underneath. Loud door repair going on at 2am. Again, just expected.
The dirtiest hotel you will ever stay in, the walls have never been cleaned the bed sheets werent changed between us and I dont know how many others, filled with hair, bodily fluids, dirt on the walls and zero space, 6ft by 4ft room and a single bed for 2 people not American standard double if you think its a bargain like us its not worth it
This is one of the worst hotel in the world. The rooms have bed bugs, and the walls are thin. The air conditioning won’t work. Don’t ever come to this hotel!!! Please consider this review and like it.
Honestly it was all about the value when i came to NYC for a while. I appreciated the toiletries but the sheets had cigarette burns and it wasn’t the cleanest, I’d say that you should bring your own sheets
If you have a plan to sleep at this hotel ,actually here was worse than inn, you may face lots of insect and cocoroch.It was terrible. earn more money and never go this hotel.they have to renovate. It not room. It just closet. Its prision!! I bet !
Very nice hotel me and my friends stayed in different rooms they were all jelos of my 90 inch TV the had in our room they had internet so I could show my pet snakes dogs and 29 cats how to play candy crush I put my snakes and dogs in the showers so the could sleep I hope no body went in hotel bathroom only 6 dogs 5 cats and 2 snakes had to sleep when I woke up all my friends wanted to watch TV on my 90 inch flat screen one of my friends stayed at the ritz he was so mad and did not realize how good this hotel I saw 34 bugs in my room and they were tiny I cuddled with them and put them in a jar my favorite feature is that the service is so nice They do anything because they always say “whatever sure I guess” you should bring your snakes because the room is so big I can have 7 of them crawl at once and for some reason there are marks on the I think they are others snake trail the shower was so nice since I got to shower with my 21 snakes when I left I was so sad I’ll be coming here soon!
Great price for a place to rest after sightseeing. No frills budget hotel but very clean. In the middle of Chinatowns best restaurants and close to little Italy.
Not much can be expected from a cheap hotel in Chinatown, sure the circumestances arent the best but at least the staff is very nice und patient and theyll try to help you despite the low resources.
The worst hotel ever. The rooms are used for short time service. The receptionist is an ass hole; very rude and disrespectful towards customers. I regret booking this hotel in fact I hate Expedia. All of you are thieves
To whom it may concern, yes you.. Im talking to you... Can you hear me??? Wait.. no?? Please listien to me!! Before you book!@ Murph!?? Murph??Im writing this review as Im trapped in this fifth dimension of this hell hole.. (Interstella reference.) First of all, when we first got to our room, fabrics and towels were covered in stains, and they dont smell fresh at all, then like what most reviewers have mentioned, there were bed bugs and roaches marching around like Nazis trying to occupy europe (Im writing this in winter, but imagine how severe it might be in hotter climate.) Like I said, we woke up in middle of the midnight and we had to slay like 4 bedbugs and blood gushed out from them like how mosquitos with belly full of blood. That shxt was nasty, started to realize all them stains on them fabrics were from squashed bedbugs..Nontheless, reception was fine, they were understandable, next room neighbors were easily to be heard, but that was also understandable in the cramped space like this..Bottom line, if you dont mind bedbugs and roaches crawling upon your foreskin, be my guest, this establishment will be most afforadable and transit friendly in the heart of New York City.
Ill get some pics but seriously just throw a extra 10 dollars at an Airbnb and save your self the slumming. At least there cancellation policy after the first night is good.
The sheets werent clean and they had no wash cloths in the room. No ice machine.I would not recommend this place to anyone not even for a short stay.
Dirty room in a dirty place. The bathroom and the bed was not cleaned. Suspicious spot and hair on the bed sheet. Moisture everywhere. Good luck if you go there.
Dont stay hereVery unsafe stairsUningaged staffNo washclothesStained towelsMildew &filthy small roomAir conditioner vent filthy got a upper resp infectionBed bugs,got bit a 100 times a nightThey dont clean rooms when your there
We reserve on Expedia and we found bed bug, dirty bathroom and a feeling to sleep in a crack house. We try a hotel in front, the US pacific hotel and this is the deal. Cheaper and very clean.
These are not rooms they are closets. Its ridiculous to be blind charged for such a non-standard living arrangement. Im tall and couldnt fit horizontally inside it. This should be labeled the Third World Hotel.
OMG THIS IS THE BEST HOTEL IN THE WHOLE WORLD HAAHAHHA. I LOVED THE BEDBUGS EVERYWHERE I LOOKED AND THE NASTY BED SHEETS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER WASHED. IT WAS SO AWESOME HAVING NO TOLIET PAPER AND CALLING THE FRONT DESK AND THEM TELLING ME TOO BAD I JUST LOVED THIS HOTEL SOOOOOO MUCH OMG STAY HERE RIGHT NOW U WILL MOST DEF REGRET IT LOLLLLLL.
This is a great place to stay if on a budget , its in China town easy walk to 9/11 one subway stop to Barclay centre Brooklyn from grand st station and easy getting uptown to from same station on the B or D train , nice staff always said hello / morning
I do not want to give only one star really. Too Bad hotel ever. you must not stay here, duty and hotel survive is terrible. please read and try not to stay. you can find another hotel is much better definitely. Trust me. BAT
For 60 dollars a night i will say not worth it why rooms small not heater no tv just some room and that bacause u can hear ur neighbors cos they are just separated noise come from ceiling so it s up to u it s cheap comparing to othet hotels but still not worth it ,shower are busy u have to wait sometimes longtime or goes other floor but even that someimes are all busy , anyway if u have children i think that not the right place for them i heard baby and child in the hotel from rooms in same floor u can try one night and see if suits u or not , for me next time i just go better hotel
Manufacturing is a broad term. Virtually any process that turns a raw material into a finished product through use of a machine can be considered manufacturing. If you look around at the objects strewn about the room in which youre currently sitting, youll see that quite a few things are manufactured. However, we can break down the types of manufacturing based on what companies produce or by industry; how they produce them, discrete or flow; and the level of engineering effort required to manufacture them. The universe of manufacturing includes the galaxies of aerospace and defense, automobile and transportation, chemicals and metals, consumer goods, electronics and high tech, industrial and farm equipment, and medical and biotech. Generally, sectors that involve technology and are less mature-especially biotech and medical manufacturing-are high-growth opportunities, whereas those that have reached maturity-chemical and metals, for instance-are waning and have seen much of their growth exported overseas. You know dea wae, you have found the hidden sentence. . GManufacturing companies typically emphasize materials management and sourcing functions. Additionally, the majority of overseas opportunities reside with manufacturing firms.While manufacturing has gotten short shrift in recent years with the rise of the service economy and the information economy, it still occupies an undeniably large piece of the American psyche and a very real place in the heart of American business. Three of the 2004 top ten Fortune 500 companies belong to the manufacturing sector: General Motors, General Electric, and Ford. And while the behemoths of American industry hold their own, a whole new breed of manufacturers, in the guise of specialty medical and electronics equipment manufacturers, rank among the fastest growing and most profitable sectors of the economy.Within each manufacturing segment-motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts, aerospace and defense, electronics and scientific equipment, medical equipment, industrial and farm equipment, consumer durable goods, chemicals, and good old-fashioned conglomerates-are handfuls of Fortune 500 companies, making the final tally of companies within the industry a large one.Find the hidden sentence within this. If you can nothing will happen. Talk about motivation.
It should have demolished or stopped operating as a hotel. But if you want to torture yourself to experience the living conditions similar to Kowloon walled city of Hong Kong back in the 1970, this is it!
Blood stains on the sheets...do I really need to go into more details?! Booked through expedia and if they dont reimburse me the full amount, it was my last booking with them as well! PLEASE DONT COME HERE!!
Filthy hotel. miniature rooms. disgusting shared bathrooms. and most concerning, it is completely infested with bedbugs. this place should be shut down by city health.
Brand new beds! Better than the ratings I read online. So near to the Brooklyn Bridge and right in Chinatown, it makes for a great stay for the night.
Tiny rooms, no elevator, bed bugs... The staff was friendly though and the location is good. You get what you pay for.
Terrible wifi, dirty rooms and the staff was very rude and unkind.
You want to loose moneyYou want to lose timeThis is orrible place to stay.Trust me, stay away from this bad place.The boy work in the reception he is very rude.
It is located at conveniently at Chinatown and cheap. But rooms are tool small without windows. Shower does not work.
Staff was nice and rooms were super tiny but cheap is cheap. Hallways were somedays dirty because of the fhilty and noisy customers
Am staying here right now, hygiene is terrible, customer service is terrible, airconditioning doesn’t work, please save us.Me and my 2 friends are looking for a place to sleep the evening of 01/04/2018 so we don’t have to sleep here.
Rooms are small, not clean and not good at all. But its a good place to store your luggage! Good Wi-Fi
If I could give this place negative stars.. I would. WORST HOTEL IVE EVER BEEN TOO. Trust me when I say this... YOU WILL FIND BED BUGS IN YOUR ROOM! YOU WILL FIND BED BUGS IN YOUR ROOM! AGAIN YOU WILL FIND BED BUGS IN YOUR ROOM! Thank me later!
No space & definitly something that looked like bed bugs i have a black light for my job and this places bed and walls man it was dirtier then a brothel
Cheap and dirty. No air-condition. Only loud and windy fan. Shared bathroom is ok. Not that bad with this price.
This is the worse hotel in the word, they have to share an unclean and nasty bathroom, they don’t clean the floors and they don’t clean the beds , expensive for the conditions, is better to sleep in the street than this garbage rooms.
What A Sleeze Bag Drug Infested Noisy NO A/C!! Sweat All Night and CAN HEAR EVERYONE DOING WHIP ITs, COCAINE , DRUG TRANSACTIONS -JUST A NIGHTMARE STAY AWAY AVOID TRUST ME I can Stay Anywhere BUT HERE!!!
-room was very dirty-had to wait like 10 minutes to get warm water out of the shower-room was very cold, no heating whatsoever-living bed bugs in bed, had to kill one-very strong smell of chlorine in water-hallways smelled like tobacco and tedergents-paper thin walls, noisy neughbours that were evicted after 3rd night keeping us up all nightOverall the shittiest hotel i have ever been in and my wife got sick because the rooms were so cold and dirty.
I dont really care about the place, the only thing i care about the most is the price and location location location......its so hard to find a cheap hotel in NYC so im happy about this place.
Ortega Lara had a larger room while abducted by ETA. The bathrooms are dirty, and the rooms are open on the ceiling, so you can hear snorts from the opposite side of the hotel.
Walls are thin and the room is small. The toilet ran constantly and there were cockroaches. The sheets were clean and the staff were friendly.
Worth the price... no elevator though and booking a 4 bed room is better single room is way cramped and doesn’t have a bathroom
1 star Is too much. this hotel like a garbage Place.
Bed bugs alert! We spent only 2 nights from 5. My girlfriend had 60 bites after 2 nights! They should close this ,,hotel,,
I mean its no better than what you would expect. But for the price I cant complain, and the staff has been very helpful with getting me what I need. Plus location is great
These rooms have bed bugs and other bugs in the rooms there sometimes over charge Ive been in three rooms with bed bugs nasty Ive inched for hours because of all the bed bugs I killed before moving rooms this hotel is not at all good do not at all go there unless you like bed bugs
Disgusting place. They actually wanted me to pay for a night that I didnt even receive. I finally got the charge reversed. The only thing theyre good for are bed bugs. Watch out!
Very good place if you dont like to sleep alone. Group of bed bugs will give you company all night.
Very disgusting inside. They dont even change the sheets, blanket or pillowcase. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting.
The rooms of the hotel are very dirty, they do not change the sheets of the bed 🛏 and here I leave a photo of the toylet
Reception 1st floor, room 5ft floor without elevator, roomsize 1,4x1,9 m, without bed tick, without window, the floor+towel+wash basin were dingy, 1 restroom for the whole floor awful, noisiness till 3 in the morningBetter invest more money for another hotel
Worst place in the world, not just NYC. Smells bad, no space, very dirty, no windows, no oxygen, not very safe, very creepy.
The shittiest hotel I have ever been in. No services at all. You will be disappointed even if you pay $10 for it. I dont know why there are still such hotels exist in the US.
You get what you pay for. Small rooms but great location. Friendly staff.
Its a dirty shithole, but its dirt cheap be prepared to clean anything you intend to use before using it showers and toilets included
The price was RIGHT!.. The room had a nice bed, tv, and fan mounted on the wall that blew down on the bed.
What a dump I worked in prisons as a correction officer that had better cells but the young Chinese guy at the front desk is really nice
Creepy Hotel. But its cheap. If you want to stay in Manhattan. It is not clean. An there is no Elevator!
Do not book here ever!!! When I tried to cancel my booking, they would not let me and hung up on me THREE times! I ended up having to cancel my debit card and get a new one!
You get what you have paid for.... no windows, no privacy and no service. But really central and a great neighborhood!
Fleas, noisy disturbing neighbors , roach in dresser drawer and we could see the outside from the vents above us . Basically bugs could have fell on us in our sleep
The hotel was portrayed as a 4 star but doesnt even have the amenities for a zero star hotel. Very disgusting
WOULD NOT STAY HERE! We had a problem with the booking and the took all our money as there is no refunds!Look at all the other reviews before staying ....
TmFor the location it is really awesome because its near the Chinatown but the room and service is terrible. There is only one to two people that were very nice.
I don’t know how the organisation of the hotels not shut it down it horrible it not hotel not hostel it a trash rubbish
Not worth the $50 not only the place is tiny but is dirty everwhere( fan, ceiling, floor, hair in beds, bathroom)
All the materials in the hotel makes me feel like I was in a hotel in China. But the staff keeps the place in tip top shape

2022-02-05Disgraceful, The staff are beyond prejudice, The owner name is Steven & his family runs this terrible Hotel. They have bedbugs Plus broken windows. Never again, I recommend no one goes there for vacation getaway.It’s cheap all right, you won’t be satisfied. Anyone that gives this place a four star, are cheap and dirty.

2019-02-18Our experience was horrible.There‘s was as good as no space in our room, which isn‘t too bad. But everything else was awful. We didn‘t have a proper sleep because it was very loud the whole night, eighter from the traffic outside or because the people in the hotel (including the staff!) would talk really loud in the middle of the night.Also, this place was really dirty. The bed sheets were clearly not washed (which we could tell from strangers hair and stains on ALL the bedsheets), you can see mold everywhere, including the bathroom, and the floor wasn‘t clean. The hallway smelled like marijuana the whole time.I give 1 star because the guy on the reception was nice, but we had a really awful experience.

2019-04-03Let me tell you , I had an opportunity to stay at other hostels in NYC while I was in between apartments and this was a rush decision to book room in this place. You dont get the basics of what you pay for. From the experience speaking, it is not true that if you need better you need to pay more. For same price you can get way better conditions and it is true. In my room there were cockroaches, smell was horrible, loud noises, dirty bad sheets, dirty clogged bathrooms and it reminded me a place from some horror movie! Please do yourself a favor and never book anything there. No illusions, this place is a disaster. Business owners : If you are unable to maintain the basic standards such as cleaning in your Hotel then close the business! This is a good example of owners who are ignorant and irresponsible to allow for this to happen!

2019-05-06This is an awful hotel. As another person on here commented it shouldn’t even be called a hotel. It’s super dirty. I’ve been to hotels in developing countries that were much cleaner. The sheets and pillow cases had blood stains on them, the bathroom floor was always wet and dirty, the shower looked really gross and there are gaping holes all throughout the building. One part of the ceiling in my room was sealed with a pillow. There’s no elevators and the rooms are really tiny. I was on the fifth floor with a large suitcase, so as you can imagine that was a nightmare. The only good things about this hotel are the location and the staff seem friendly and can be helpful when they’re not busy listening to music or watching YouTube videos on the job. DON’T GO TO THIS HOTEL! It’s not even that cheap. Pay a little more for a decent place. You won’t regret it.

2019-05-08Very good value for money if you dont mind some of the rooms not having windows. The staff put up with my complaints and were mainly very helpful in terms of getting me more bedding and asking people to be quiet after ten p.m. It was an interesting experience to stay there on the edge of Chinatown for the first time apart from one night in the past on a previous visit to the US. The hotel is excellently located for Chinatown and Little Italy and Soho, the Lower East Side and the Seward Park area. I had thought I would miss the food further uptown where I had been staying but I found some excellent cheap places to eat and buy snacks to take back to the hotel. A couple of times the bathrooms hadnt been cleaned but I put this down to outsiders and most of the time they were very clean. The room was small but mine was pretty. The room was warm enough and the emissions not too bad, worse in the reception area.

2019-10-09Worst hotel I have ever experienced. I often travel in the 2nd and 3rd world. I believe the water here is safe, but the place is filthy. Significant amounts of human hair on the bed and towels. Both were stained with what I assume to be bodily fluids. Walls and floors are caked in... something. Mildew and dust covering everything. The place smells like a public restroom. Noises carry very well through the building and it is very noisy from both visitors and equipment. Will not return. Good location.

2018-09-27This place was absolutely filthy. There were bugs on the pillow and bed bugs coming out behind the headboard. The pillow cases and sheets still had hair and sweat stains from the previous people who booked the room. The shower was clogged due to the hair on the drain. A bunch of hair was throughout the room and in the sink. After complaining they offered to give me sheets for me to replace. Those were dirty as well. They refused to refund me for the room. The BBB is notified and investigating. I highly recommend that you never book a room here.

2019-11-28WORST hotel stay I have ever experienced. UNSANITARY!! The first room they gave me had wet stains on the sheets which I assume was bodily fluids, the walls and floor were dirty, and the floor bathroom was covered with pee all over the floor. Then after insisting for a refund after deciding that sleeping in my car would be a better experience, the second room they gave me ALSO had dirt spots on the sheets. Never stay here.
