  Good, no frills budget guest house

  07 Aug 2025

  Stayed as family of 4 in a reasonably priced ground floor room. Note - bathrooms are shared (we were aware). Close to 110th st Metro Station (Central Park North) - fast & frequent trains to Times Square via #2/3 lines. Supermarkets and laundrette very close too. Clean, not too noisy and aircon worked well. Local environment a bit 'weedy' and may be intimidating for some travellers. Allowed bags to stay after check-out.

  bad experience

  29 Nov 2024

  The room we stayed in was soundproof. We could hear every passing car, the sound of horns and sirens.The door handle wasn't screwed on properly, and neither was the headboard.Even if the price is very low, it would have deserved more seriousness.When we left, the woman barely looked at us or spoke to us.On the positive side, the microwave was very practical in a hotel room.

  Great

  understand the bad reviews—really, I don’t.I’m writing this review from inside my room, and I have to say, the staff are extremely friendly. The room is small but cozy and perfect for a couple. The shared bathrooms are very clean and constantly maintained.This is the authentic NYC experience: either pay five times the price for the same type of room near Times Square, or spend around $100 here and take a $20 Uber to Times Square. Plus, you’ll have extra money to enjoy dining out.This isn’t just about getting value for your money—it’s about smart choices. I will definitely be coming back here every time I visit NYC in the future.

  Comfortable stay

  18 Mar 2023

  Nice, comfortable place to stay in the city. Pleasant staff. Clean facilities. Comfortable bed and pillows. Safe street that is close to the subway station. Nicely decorated facilities. There will be some noise from the stairs but nothing to worry much about.

  Poor value

  Three of us stayed on the first floor room at the end of the hall.Positives: The room was spacious and there were easy instructions for after hours check in. One of the staff members was very friendly and tried to be helpful. We also appreciated that there was a kitchenette with a sink and microwave in the room. The beds were decently comfortable. Being so close to Central Park was really nice, and we spent a lot of time in the park. If you do stay here, I highly recommend Amy Ruth's restaurant. The building has a lot of character, and the room has a really pretty fire place. Negatives: The worst part was the temperature regulation. There was no way to turn off the radiator, and it was insanely hot. The windows would not stay open without being propped, and one of them had a completely torn screen. The neighborhood also did not feel safe enough to have the windows open. None of the windows locked, which really bothered us since we were on the main level. We had to run the air conditioner because of the radiator issues, and it was about 30 degrees outside. You may want to avoid staying here with small children because there were two pipes, one right next to the bed and one in the kitchen, that got very hot when the radiator was running. Also, we were not able to get a good night's sleep because everyone is loud. It might have been better if we were on the second floor and not staying underneath a family. Because it's a shared bathroom, which we knew going in, others can take over the shared space. One night, another guest was in the shower for almost an hour while we were waiting. They do allow you to use the bathrooms on other floors, but with a full facility, this wasn't possible. On a different night, a guest knocked on our door after midnight to ask for bottled water. Because there was no deadbolt on the door, we felt very unsafe at that moment. In the kitchenette, the microwave didn't work very well and they only provided decaf coffee. They didn't provide cleaning supplies, and it would have been nice to have especially during COVID with shared spaces. This may be nitpicky, but for around $160 per night, we expected a bit better than single ply toilet paper, scratchy towels, and terrible pillows. If you stay here, I suggest bringing your own. Aside from the hotel itself, the neighborhood felt a little unsafe. We saw multiple fights and many people asking for money. The closest subway station seemed to attract a lot of people asking for money. The trash in front of the buildings in the neighborhood attracted rats as well.
