Sun Bright Hotel in New York
Id give zero if I could. The bathroom is outside the room and its kinda gross, there is only a van in the small room, and opened window that couldnt be closed. The bed is not decent, its noisy and you can feel the spring. The wifi is disconnected every hour, and its too expensive for that kind of room. I paid $102 for a terrible night, and theres no breakfast. The hotel is actually close to many places but I dont think Ill be back there.
I stayed in one of the one bedroom rooms inside a dormitory. The space offers privacy in a larger open room but with that comes anonymity. Other guests feel comfortable that nobody will catch them smoking and making noise so youll have a much harder time getting a good rest than you would in a traditional dorm. As there is no ceiling on your private space (only mesh) your space is constantly being flooded with light, noise and polluted air. Your neighbours will smoke and talk loudly on the phone til their hearts content and nobody will stop them. All night long I was woken to the smell of cigarettes and the sound of people playing music and video without headphones. Rather than half a dozen people who may snore in close proximity to you in this place youll have thirty nearby potential snorers. The room never became near dark, with light shining in from God knows where. The mattress, pillow and blanket looked and felt decades old. The bathrooms always has soap and paper towel and were somewhat clean. There is no communal space but the wifi is fantastic for both speed and coverage. The five flights of stairs will near kill you. There was nowhere to fill your water bottle so youll have to purchase it. The location is great. I would definitely not return nor recommend this place.
I stayed here for about seven nights. The single most important factor affecting your experience here is managing your expectations. I had read all the reviews online, so when I showed up here I was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised.I stayed on the fifth floor. Its true that the other two floors (3rd and 4th?) look terribly like crack-dens. No matter though as I dont think those get rented out anyway. So, lets review quickly: WiFi works and works surprisingly well (~20mbps). Rooms are small as youd expect, but its enough space to fit a small duffelbag. Theres also a hangar for you to hang clothes, etc. Youre provided with a towel/toothbrush/paste, etc. The beds/mattresses are also surprisingly comfortable. The wood underneath might creak a bit but that didnt take away from the comfort. HOWEVER, if youre a bit on the taller/heavier side, you might have a hard time sleeping here, as the beds are a bit short and narrow. Bathrooms? Its true that they can sometimes be a bit dirty with a towel on the floor, etc., but luckily there are about five bathrooms on the fifth floor. I never had to wait to use one. Whats the worst thing about staying here? THE NOISE. Bring ear plugs. You will literally hear everything thats going on. Youll hear conversations, yawning, burping, farting, etc. Itll be almost impossible to sleep without ear plugs. An eye mask will also help a ton. Some other guests are quiet and keep to themselves, but theres always that one douchebag making a whole bunch of noise who also doesnt understand English. Smell? Honestly the only thing I ever smelt was a bleachy/clorox smell when they were doing cleaning.Long story short, Im reminded of something I read in another review, which asked, are you a traveler or a princess? Like I said, its about managing expectations. And at the end of the day the only thing that matters is this - would I stay here again to save money? I would. But you might have a different answer to that.
Not bad for the price. If you are not squeamish about walking up to the 5th floor (Exercise, dammit! ALL mobile people should use stairwells!), and ducking past the exciting cages with Chinese zombies on the 4th floor. (seriously- theyre harmless).Your room is basically a closet. What more do you want in the middle of Manhattan / center of Chinatown and little Italy! ? TV or a window is optional.BUT! The bathrooms need fixing! One had a drip right over the toilet!
Ok, lets start from the positives- its cheap and very central- downtown Manhattan right between Chinatown and whats left of Little Italy. Subway stations are just a few minutes walk away too. Sounds good, right? Wrong!The first warning sign was when I opened the door and found myself facing a long flight of stairs with no lift or anybody to help me carry my luggage upstairs. In hindsight, should have turned around and searched for a hostel in the vicinity. Yet it was freezing outside so I decided to lump it. The reception area wasnt so bad and from what I could see of the first floor, it seemed like a decent place to stay. The Asian gangster-looking guy at the receptionist said that they adopt a no-refund policy. Second warning sign. The door that opened onto two flights of stairs that led to the second and third floors had a sign saying No Women Allowed stuck onto it. Third warning sign.I had booked a room on the third floor. The rooms are NOT rooms. There are rows of tiny cubicles, without windows and without roofs! Instead of roofs, they have barbed wire which adds to the prison experience. Obviously, that means you can hear everything that is said in neighbouring rooms. For emphasis, the rooms are TINY. Its just an uncomfortable bed fastened to one side of the cubicle, a socket at the foot of the bed, and a dustbin on the floor. Wi-fi only works occasionally too. The only mercy was that there was enough room under the bed to fit my suitcase.The bathrooms are fine on the first floor but theyre disgusting on on the third one. Im talking cockroaches scuttling across the sink, flushing not working and dirty shower walls.And the second floor looked even worse. The walls were filthy, the cubicle wires extended to the top of the roof and a putrid stench emerged from it everytime I had to pass it to make my way up or down the stairs. In the end, I actually had to avert my eyes from the second floor because I felt so disgusted that they were housing actual human beings inside it.There is another positive, I suppose: The place is so horrendous that it forces you out onto the streets of New York. I wouldnt recommend this place to my worst enemy though, a hostels a MUCH better option.
I didnt have to count sheep to go to sleep at night - I just counted the roaches. You know, in between not letting the ones as long as my middle finger crawl all over me. The staff was INCREDIBLY rude and did not inform us that it was opposite-time-day - you know, the one day every week in which you do the things youd do during the work day in the wee hours of the morning instead - like, for example CONSTRUCTION WORK.I could have overlooked those things though, if only the staff hadnt insisted on the Gregorian chants at the crack of dawn. Normally that type of music is lovely, early morning or no, but some of the content was concerning. My Latin from highschool is a little rusty, but Im pretty sure there was something about sacrificing nubile maidens to Lucifer, high lord of hell? Were pretty devout worshipers of our lord and master Baal, Warden of the East, so it was very off-putting when they passed around that bejewelled goats skull to collect a tithe in. So flashy! What happened to good old fashioned blood covered animals remains? But I guess all the businesses nowadays have tried to go modern to stay hip with the younger crowd. Perfectly good waste of bodily fluids. Which brings me back to my review - the bed? Not nearly enough semen stains when we turned off the overhead light and used a wand to check. There was a particularly large one we almost got excited about, but the pattern was too much like urine for us to be convinced. If youre going to give me the authentic creepy hotel with bad service package, youve GOT to go with semen. Dont even get me started on whether it was left by orgy all at once, or over time. We SPECIFICALLY requested an orgy room, but some of the stains looked suspiciously older than others. I guess you get what you pay for.New York City itself? A gem. This hotel? Skip it. Spend a little more and stay somewhere with actual customer service and less roommates. (The roaches. Im referring to the roaches.)
Nothing! The air conditioning is really a fan nailed to the wall! I inspected the cubicle for bedbugs, and I did see them! THANKFULLY I came prepared with matress and box spring bed bug blocking encasements! Pillows also! I also sprayed down suitcases with eradicator! They protected us from them! First thing I saw was a cockaroach greeting us at the door! The cable tv, is a cable hook up on the wall, no tv! ! I brought a bell and Howell bug plug in for roaches! ! Be careful! !! The outlet sparks! ! I felt physically sick, which usually happens when theres an infestation in a place. All night long, my father and I heard ppl getting high and having loud obnoxious sex! ! We were expecting two full beds, what I paid for! We got one double bed with broken springs! I was physically approached by an Asian prostitution! Outside this prison dump of a hotel! Oh yes, my and I were propisitioned by the prostitutes! ! Very sick! Very uncomfortable! The rooms could not have been more than about 6 ft by 8 ft! No Windows either! Blood splatters on the toilets! I would tell anyone looking for TRUE. Advice about booking here, PLEASE...if you need a clean,safe place to stay, pay the extra money and GO ELSEWHERE! !!! This is the Gods honest truth! ! NEVER. Will I go there again! THANKFULLY my safety precautions kept my dad and I safe from bedbugs!
This hotel should be condemned lol my friend and i paid 80 bucks basically to stay in a homeless shelter and they wouldnt give us our money back! The rooms look like jail cells, they had mini t.vs that didnt work, the white towels were dirty and the beds had dirt spots and beige looking stains i didnt want to sit on the bed they had public bathrooms with showers in it and it smelled awful. I told my friend before we opened the door to go into the hotel to lets find another place because it was homeless people sitting on the steps. Do not go to this crappy hotel
🛏 🌙I have been to the Sun Btight Hotel once about a decade ago, when i was considering renting a room for a reasonabke rate. The rates were not reasonable for what they were attempting to rent out as rooms. At the moment, I do not really recall what i was shown, but to this day, i still see chicken wires as room dividers and uou could see everyone and their business.I was so disappointed with the Sun Bright Hotel, I did not end up renting anything even for as short a term as a few weeks.I have been to youth hostels all over Europe including Eastern Europe, and ot is night and day.
I stayed in Sun Bright for 4 night, definitely the worst experience of my life. I wanted a refund and checked out early because there was a mouse in my room. The place is not clean, restrooms are full of male pubic hair and you cannot even lock the restroom door. I regret being there, please do not stay in Sun Bright.
I stayed in one tiny room with 3 other people and I loved it! I only payed $25 for 5 nights and it was an adventure. It was absolutely disgusting of course, but I didnt catch herpes so thats pretty cool to me.
Very unsafe hotel for women. I was fooled by an online deal when I reserved a room. I about to check in when one of the staff wishpered vulgar about my friend to his colleague thinking that we couldnt hear him. We noticed earlier that he was ogling her, but couldnt take more after his vulgar mess. I had to confront that staff and he apologized when I was about to call cops. I didnt even care to ask my money back. I left that hotel and stayed at another nearby hotel.
I dont know how the hell this place hasnt been condemned yet. First off, I am pretty sure there were enough roaches in my room to feed a family of four a four course roach meal. Which by the look of the stain on the floors, may have happened. The bed was stained with what I can only imagine was blood that they attempted to clean in bleach and tears. I am unsure if the blood was caused by a sacrificial ritual or someone got the bed bugs to fight the roaches Mortal Kombat style. Walking into the bathroom I felt as if I was crossing over into Silent Hill and was debating for a while to bring a crowbar back from my car. It was nauseating. I swear the roaches had made a peace treaty with another unidentifiable bug and were having a quaint little poker gamer in the mold ridden tub.And as horrifying as it is to think someone managed to get excited in this place, I found a used condom behind the pillow. Suffice to say, from one night staying there (mind you we left early because either management did a goahead to do maintnence at 4am, or the next room over decided to greet the world and morning with a chainsaw.) I now feel the need to get a tetanus booster and possibly get checked for rabies and a few STDs.Will not stay again.
Awful place with bedbug animal in bed. Small rooms without chairs and table. Very bad located in China town, street is dirty and stink of the carcass! The window does not open and air contion was without adjust temperature - it was cold inside. If I can I will rate this hotel zero star!!!
This place is the worst dirty bed bug infested place ever. Big scam they advertise as a hotel but really is a dirty hostel. I was so upset by the false advertisement. If you new to NYC stay away from Chinatown hotels. The best hotels are in midtown and uptown.
I had the most god forsaken time at this hell hole. No, hell hole is letting them off too easy, even Hell has better service than this. At least in Hell they pay attention to you, and are willing to work if you cut a deal. This place was more like purgatory in Detroit.People talk about roach motels, I swear thats exactly what this was. After checking in at the front desk I get to my room, ready to crash, and find an entire colony of the little buggers having a funky towel party under the blanket. These things were obviously used to humans because they didnt even scatter. I think one of them tried to offer me a piece of the rancid stain they were congregating around.Stains. Oh man, stains every where. It was like a bukkake bacchanal held on the black sabbath a day after the worst Saturnalia in history. Stuff was every where. I hope most of the stains were just wear an tear but the dude down the block in the pink over coat and over sized feathered fedora suggested other wise.I saw a drug deal in the hall. Nothing fancy. Just a straight up dope deal. Nope, not pot. That wouldnt have bothered me. It was heroinHave you ever seen the water run red as though blood? Thats how much rust was in the pipes here. It was like Moses had struck the water system with his staff and demanded that the manager let his people go.I saw the roaches cart away a small local child. The child was laughing as though this were normal and an every day thing he did for fun.The attitude of the people here. Dear lord. I mentioned Hell was better than this place earlier. Well, let me put it to you this way. I am thoroughly convinced demons are less hostile than these people. I made mention of the pipes to one of the cleaning staff. She became so livid and pissed I think I saw spewers spontaneously sprout from her back with the soul purpose of laying her eggs in my abdomen.Avoid this place. Avoid it at all cost. Dont dead open inside.
OMG guess what all! I managed to squish one of the giant-ass cockroaches in my room! EW, this hotel suuuucks. Honestly, I went in expecting very little because I didnt plan on spending much time here- I only needed a bed... But even then, I couldnt sleep! For SOME reason, they begin construction on, tch, EVERYTHING around 4 am- No joke, I hear constant glass shattering, duct tape, ridiculous banging- It doesnt even spun like work, it sounds like they ripped the mirror from the wall of the bathrooms across the hall and started throwing it wildly- (off topic, I envision them to be angry Tentacruels.) Its 9 am currently... they havent stopped.Dont stay here.
Bathrooms have busted out doors that dont close so people walk in on you .showers are covered in mold. the rooms are makeshift and have walls that dont go all the way up to the ceiling and are covered with chicken wire.rooms are 8x3 max . free soap shampoo and towel though
This is a HOSTEL, not a HOTEL know the difference before booking. Do not check in here if you want a room to relax and spend a bunch of time in. DO check in here if you want a cheap place to sleep at night in manhattan. The neighborhood is fantastic, your steps away from chinatown and little italy.
If you are not picky and just wanted somewhere to stay and dont want to pay a lot then this is the alternative. Still not a bad place to stay. Cheap alternative to the nearby Wyndham garden hotel but you can still run over and sample their bar or munchies 😁
I have to say this was the worse hotel I have ever been to!I asked a simple question on whether or not if the sacrificial poptarts of Narnia will begin either on Tuesday or Wednesday.Instead they shouted out their great Cthulhu making people explode their minds in the basement! The nerve! If i wanted my brain to be filled with their religion of the mad god then I would have asked! But instead tentacles came out of their ears and nose and shot out goo from another dimension!It stained my clothes! They didnt even offer to clean them for free! I swear having little mini holes leading to another dimension really puts a bummer on your day when youre trying to enjoy new york!
I see this place has closed for good now. I stayed here 12 years ago and it was very basic, but it was clean. For location, it was great. Right in real New York and near the subway.
They have bedbugs, they bite me every night. My room was too cold, because they have central air conditioning. They cant turn it off. Dirty, rude staffs.
Omg As soon as I came in a freaked out. The guy at the reception acted and looked like the triad gang members who run undercover illegal businesses. Felt like the guy just wanted to kill me. Then I find out he is a Burmese Bhudists and I freaked out even more knowing how they are killing muslims in Burma. I had to text relatives where I was staying in case these guys tried killing me. I thought I was the only one who had the creeps in this place but when in the morning another customer told the guy to put a smile on his face at least so realised they behave like this with everyone. Now after reading the reviews I can see that everyone had the same experience. I cant believe how these people can run businesses in the city of New York like they are the bhudists gang I Burma.
TRUST ME, DONT GO THERE! Its a damn prison cell! They dont clean bathrooms. They dont have elevators so i carried my heavy laggage 5 floors up the stairs. Do yourself a favor and just dont or youll ruin your vacation
Dirty, noise, crowded. But you get your own bed (with no privacy at all, though). Grose bathrooms, most of them not working properly.
I felt like I was living through a scene on the movie Saw. Like the only way to get out alive was to sleep on a bed of cockroaches. I was totally disgusted. Ill never stay here again, nor do I wanna play that game. I felt like the staff was the mad man himself, so rude.
I had to change the nights of my reservations, and many hotels make this really difficult and charge penalties etc. But the Sunbright couldnt have been more helpful! Really impressed with their customer service.
This was the worst experience I have ever had as far as customer service from any hotel. I would give them a -3 stars if possible. I would not ever recommend any one to stay there or deal with them.
I ejoyed my stay at the hotel its clean WiFi is crisp bathrooms are clean and great to friendly lovely staff great location just a hour and 30mins away from my job in the Rockaway of Queens on the train line great for when you just wanna get away from it all.
This place was disgusting and they have a floor that resembles to a 3rd world high security prison with people sleeping on the hallways floor.And the smell is unbearable (piss smell).
Its like staying in prison. The room is small, the showers are dirty, the air conditioner is stuck on freezing. Unlike prison you are free to leave whenever you wish (no refunds though).
This is the worse place ever! First I had to sacrifice my daughter to Satan, then my son was abducted by a bedbug monster, and now I fear I have a cockroach embedded in my back. Avoid this place like the plague.
This is the absolutely worst hotel I have even been to. Their advsertisement is false. No TV. Room with beds the creak more than old boards. I wouldnt even recommend my worst enemy to go there.
I was ok with a small room and broken tv but bed bugs not OK. Think about it twice pay 40$ more and get a different hotel without bugs.
Overall a bad experience. The hotel was cooperative in a police investigation involving multiple electronics stolen in the lobby. Small rooms.
Worst place ever, stay only if you want to get infected with blood transferred from a nasty bed bug.!!!I can not believe people can even sleep in this place....I spent a night there and was it ... DONE, never came back.Stay away !!!
Yes its a prison-cell-sized and you hear every neighbor snoring, but you cant beat the price for a clean night on Manhattan, yep.
Total LACK of sanitation! Shared restrooms, very small rooms, inoperative wifi and rude service. The worst in Manhattan.
Good, clean and cheap place for sleep in NYC, but the rooms are small and some of them no windows :)
The rooms are poor but extraordinarily cheap. For those who have light budget.
I felt I was caught for a massacre like in the SAW movies, bad smell, very rude Staff, dirry bathrooms....is this really in NY city
Seems like a great hotel. Too bad they have a very bad customer service.
For being in a cosmopolitan city and being one of the best in the world should give the hotel a better look
Serving the poor and the travelers on a budget. It is not perfect but it gives you a rooftop!
If you wanna be dinner for bedbugs , just go there and stay one night !! This hotel is discusting!!!!
Terrible place, I would never suggest this hotel even for my worst enemy. Its disgusting,
Very small rooms, though good location.
DONT GO THERE !!! BED BUGS ON BAD!!!!!!! So i changed the rooms third times ! Location is sucks .
It is actually clean and it is very cheep. I do recommend this yeeees
Dirty rooms, bathroom and sheets . Very unfriendly staff.
No frills lodging, and I was treated well
I saw while I was doing a job there to many addict going in and out of the place
Cheapest hotel on Manhattan. 5 for price and 1 for quality = 3
I cant believe the landlords and NY police would allow such a place to exist.
Did i just enter silent hill it stinks like rotted bedbugs and dirty diapers..
Disgusting. I couldnt even lay my head downJust left amd didnt get money back.
Sun ist t he best hotel un new york best prise
Really the bare minimum, plus the bed had bed bugs
This place is riddled with bedbugs, avoid like the plague
This place is an absolute dump. Avoid at all costs.
If you have money sleep in street!
Bad place

Bad services
French friends look for New York: capital of the world an exclusive investigative documentary and go see around 20min30, its amazing!
Correspondence of price and quality, if you find something cheaper - it is better to settle there, just not in this place. The room is the size of a bed and a half, the partitions between the rooms are plasterboard with metal nets at the top, you can hear the neighbor breathing. There is one shower for 20 rooms, and the drain system can break down and poop will float in the shower, and especially no one is in a hurry to troubleshoot. The location is Chinatown, so be prepared for stink and mud on your way to the subway. But there are excellent inexpensive Chinese restaurants nearby with delicious food. If you have strong nerves and are going to come to the hotel tired, fall off your feet and only need to sleep, then this is a great option.p.s. cockroaches, rats and bedbugs were not seen, but in some reviews I did.
Good area (Chinatown) for visiting Manhattan. One of the few places in town with affordable prices. Rooms without windows and bed width. Clean shared bathroom.Nice position to visit Manhattan. One of the most affordable places in the city. Very small rooms without windows. Shared clean bath.
It is a place just to avoid the inn.The next room is a partition of one veneer, and the ceiling is wire mesh, so the sound is hollow.The area is about one and a half tatami mats.The shared toilet doubles as a shower room, so the toilet bowl gets soaked. Moreover, it is filthy.Its a detention center.For that reason, it is not cheaper than a capsule hotel in Tokyo.It may be better to sleep at the station.
On the one hand, a cheap hotel with a good network. On the other hand, very small rooms, in my case without a window. I had a double room, but the room and the beds looked very neglected. Otherwise my room was empty except for a fan in the ceiling. There were 2 sockets, one of which was always occupied by the fan, as it always got warm quickly in the windowless room. The other socket was unusable due to a bad contact. There was no closet or other storage space. The bathrooms are always occupied early in the morning or in the evening. Good point: free WiFi.Conclusion:Not recommended for normal people, especially not accompanied by the opposite sex (hotel is just too embarrassing). But for e.g. Students who want to go to New York cheaply despite everything, was definitely a cool experience in which the hotel will be remembered. I had no problems with the circumstances, so recommended for young people.
The room is very poor and there is no space to open the suitcase. You can only open the suitcase on the bed. Very inconvenient. The towels are stained and not very clean. Very poor sound insulation. Not recommendedThe hotel is not hotel. The space in room is very small that I cant open my luggage, its awful. And the restroom is very near the front desk that look like someone inspect to me. I thought this was bad memories in Manhattan .
Air conditioning too cold during the night, very unwelcoming staff, very poor value for money, we received over $ 110 in taxes for 4 nights which was not included in the price and without providing an invoice.I do not recommend this hotel, with this price, you can get a much better hotel with individual bathrooms.
I was in 2008. I arrived late, at 2:00 in the morning because of the flight. Despite having notified them, they charged me for another night. Gentuza. Cockroaches, flooded bathrooms. A shame. In Spain that hotel would be closed.
This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It is not a hotel at all. There is only one bed in the room, and the space is so small that the luggage cannot be opened on the floor.It sucks, I advise everyone not to live in this house👎🏿
Very small and somewhat dirty but in a good situation since it is in Manhattan with a nearby subway stop.
I really liked this hotel) kind staff) shower, toilet, everything is clean, there is toilet paper) The bed is really not comfortable, but you walk all day in the city, it will make no difference to you)) if I go to New York again spend the night there)P.s one day we slept for an hour eviction, but we were forgiven everything)
For me it was very good, if we consider what I pay 20 U $ S per night. clean the place, excellent location. minimal rooms but as to economically visit NYC it is perfect
Cheap place to sleep ... the room partitions are plastic and you hear everything the one next door does ... not very clean and has no windows ... easy to find cockroaches and other insects. .. but it is also one of the only places in manhattan where to sleep for less than 100 dollars a night .. a cheap place to stay in manhattan ...
If you go to New York and you just need a place to sleep, get out, but its less than one star. They also keep it clean and you get so tired of walking that nothing matters.
You cant expect more for that price in Manhattan. Tiny rooms, but clean. Shared and clean bathroom. I didnt miss anything.
Grotesque staircase at the hotel entrance, attendant without patience. I went to check availability and prices ... I was not well received.
By the looks, it must be excellent, I will be on August 13, to enjoy the good things that the hotel offers
We dont care about guest safety and lost property
Unhygienic, water falling everywhere. ... 2x2 room. 5
Horrible, there are cockroaches in bed. Chinese attendants who do not speak English.
Bad. Hotel !!
It is a dirty, unhealthy place and the rooms are very small, I do not recommend it to anyone.
Horrible place looks like a kennel a shame for new york city
This hotel has cockroaches and windowless rooms a shame
The best thing about the hotel is the location, the rest is rest!
Zero star has to flee absolutely no star!
BasicA bit remote
Good hotel quality good price
Normal one night!
Unsatisfied!!!!
Very pretty
Souvenir guaranteed!

2016-08-14So the room was a hostel (own room but all you have is a bed and the room only about a foot wider than the bed). It was fine. However my family was somewhat uncomfortable staying there. I didnt stay any of night there. I tried to get a refund--they said no which is understandable because I used my room for two days (even though I didnt sleep in it). However, I checked out a day early and they didnt give me credit for the day I didnt use. The salespeople were rude and said because I checked out a hour late (but my room was untouched so they would not have to clean it) they would have to charge me for the whole day. Front office staff wouldnt even meet me halfway when I tried to compromise I was just told I paid for three days so they would charge me for it.Also there is no air conditioning (unless you count a pathetic fan) and no tv. I dont know if the owners wrote the description but I wouldnt put it past the people to straight up lie

2018-11-26A terrible experience - we visited this place in 2015 on a student budget so we were actually just looking for a place to crash after days spent on sightseeing. The price was high for the hostel standards, or to be more accurate - the lack of those. The room was 2x2 big, it had no window, our luggage barely fit it. The air conditioning was on and it was ice cold inside the room so I asked whether there was a possibility to turn it down a little bit, the response was no. Dont go there.

2017-09-30That hotel is awful. There are cockroaches in the lobby, we found a spider in our bed, the towels they provide are dirty, there are only 2 bathrooms for 20 bedrooms. Also, there are no walls, just partitions between the rooms so you can hear all the other travelers. Plus, we had made a reservation on the internet and provided our credit card information as a guarantee but the reception said they dont have our reservation. If I had known, I would have ran away right away. That hotel is dirty and noisy, I dont recommend it at all.

2014-08-19This is 100% the worst hotel Ive ever had the displeasure of staying. I stepped into the room and could smell the obvious scent of feces. The bathrooms were reminiscent of a zombie flick and within moments of entering the room spotted cockroaches skittering across the floor. When Id contacted the desk about it they informed me that there was nothing they could do and that I would simply have to deal with it, and continued to act like they had a barbed wire-wrapped stick shoved up their rear end, though who wouldnt be that way when forced to work in this pit of the abyss. The first night was a horrendous experience, and I opted to, instead of sleep in bedbug infested covers, play a game of Cards against humanity with the cockroaches, as there were enough to make a small army. In fact, the cockroaches seemed to be friendlier then the staff, though they were equally as rude, choosing to help themselves to my food before I had the chance to finish it all. The walls were stained as though eons of sewage water were dripped through them. The rats in the walls also did not make my ability to sleep any better. All in all, this place felt restricting, and it was literally pulling the lifeblood from my veins, and giving it to some bedbug brood mother. Do not ever waste the money to stay here, I would thoroughly suggest another hotel that is actually pleasant.

2017-07-04You get what you pay for..And what I got, was a dirty cot in a wooden make shift frame attached to the wall, a couple of coat hangers, a closet.. And I use the term loosely..All in an area about 3x10, complete with chicken wire as a ceiling under the actual floor ceiling that houses the central air cooling/heating system.The walls are little more than glorified dividers, and you can clearly hear other guests snoring, eating, talking, etc..I found blonde hair on my sheets, and pillow.The bathrooms are nothing less than disgusting, with broken-to-no-door handles.Leaks coming from above, dirty stalls, toilets barely flush.Im amazed this place even bills itself as a hotel.But, to be fair. It offers a roof, and place to crash for those on a budget.But next time Im in NYC, Im going to treat myself to an actual nice hotel where Im not being monitored, and where I can actually use elevators.And where everything is actually clean, safe, and sanitary.I owe it to myself.

2014-08-19Ahh, Sun Bright Hotel. I remember my stay and its a quite the story too.When I first arrived, I was met with the receptionist. She was a nice gal, I had high hopes for this place and when i grabbed my keys and made my way up into my room....you can forget the nice receptionist.I was greeting with a overwhelming smell of urine, my nostrils havent been invaded like that since the year of 2012 where I worked as a sewer inspector. I was wanting my room to smell like cotton candy and a slight hint of Pineapple, not of Asparagus and 4 liters of alcohol consumed the night before whatever cretin had sprayed all over the walls of hotel room. Thats right, I assume this man was also not pleased with the hotel management and had decided to leave a gift for the cleanup crew. I think they decided to go a for few brews of their own instead of deciding to clean up the torrent of florescent yellow gunk that stuck to the walls like that gunk from the Alien films. I thought about sucking it up for the whole week, but after just one day I was greeting with what I can only describe as a titan sized rat crawling around the floor. To be completely honest, I helped this little fella out because even rats need standards, so when I plopped the little creature at the front desk I was escorted out the building. I rant and raved about the urine cube room but they never listened. My stuff was handed back and I was told in some very nasty words to never return. Never got a refund either, absolutely shocking.3/10, If I could return, I wouldnt.

2016-11-09Bed bugs in one girls room turned me off from this place, the bottom floor looks really nice but the upper guys dorm areas are stuffy way too cluttered and just old out dated. They staff is nice and try to keep it clean but the place itself isnt. If they do upgrades and hopefully control pests etc than it would be set.

2015-08-13It was the worst hotel experience for me and my collegue. Because we had booked in advance, we didnt get any refund. By the way, we paid $50 per night. We had only three nights to stay, thats why we decided to stay. We always remained out till late and left very early. We rather slept on a bench outside, than among the bedbugs and all the roaches. The beds were stinking, the floor and basin in the bathrooms were dirty and either full of hairs or toiletpapers. It wasnt possible to take off the shoes at anytime. Even under the shower, I weared the flip-flops.On the homepage the hotel was praised as good with clean photos, but I am sure, that all these pictures have been taken at the opening day. If your health and time in New York has a little worth to you- STAY AWAY from this hotel!!!All the positive comments here are fakes and are probably bought by the owner. No human with a sound mind would recommend this hotel ever!

2014-08-20During my stay at this... Hotel... I was having a rather unpleasant night in the beds provided. It seemed I had some uninvited company within the sheets and no, it was not room service, but rather unsightly bed bugs. Dont worry, I did not let them bite me. Ohh no. But that was not the worst part. I would say the tasteless cockroaches! What a wondrous night view in the NYC. And whats a review without a remark on the unpleasantness of the help. Customer service was about as helpful as a broken nail holding a picture frame. Me being the fabulous picture was dropped OOH TOO MUCH! UNSATISFIED!You, Sun Bright Hotel are an irredeemably insufferable ninny and a horribly atrocious menace to, not only society, but all living creatures.

2014-11-26I had a great time here at sun bright hotel nothing like the terrible reviews I read. I stayed from Nov 21-23 , 2014. It was clean. Comfortable and just the right price. I dont know why yall lying like that. lol thats ashame the hotel is descent and in Chinatown/little Italy neighborhood with a subway nearby. You get what you pay for, a clean place to sleep and clean bathrooms. Cant beat it for the price in NYC.
