    This hotel is a great value for money, offering affordable prices in the heart of Manhattan. The location is perfect, with everything close by and in a safe area of the city. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing basic amenities and ensuring a comfortable stay. The rooms, although small, are clean and well-maintained, exceeding expectations. Additionally, the breakfast served is included and adds to the overall convenience of the stay.

    Minor improvements could be made.

    The location of the hotel was fantastic, situated in a safe and vibrant part of the city. We were just a short walk away from popular attractions such as Grand Central and Times Square. The price we paid, especially when booked in advance, was well worth it. Plus, if you enjoy working out, the gyms and pools were amazing amenities to have.

    On the first nights of our stay, our floor was quiet and clean, providing a relaxing atmosphere. However, towards the end of our stay, a few inconsiderate and untidy guests arrived, making the shared bathroom experience slightly less pleasant.

    Great location near NYC tourist sites, with 24/7 staff and clean common areas. Convenient 24-hour kiosk nearby. Good wifi on specific floors. Basic rooms for budget travelers. Gym with sauna and pools saved the stay. Cleaned daily. Safe environment.

    Excellent Value: For the price I paid, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The rates were reasonable considering the central location in Midtown Manhattan. Attentive Staff: The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. From check-in to offering tips on nearby attractions, they were always helpful and friendly. Clean and Well-Maintained: The rooms were kept clean and tidy throughout my stay. I appreciated the attention to detail and cleanliness of the shared bathroom.

    No major issues; all was satisfactory.

    The complimentary gym and pool access were a great bonus, and the location was unbeatable, with everything we wanted to see and do just a short walk away. The staff were also friendly and accommodating, making our stay more enjoyable.

    The shared bathrooms were a letdown, with limited facilities and privacy. Also, the rooms were extremely small, with minimal storage space and no hooks or shelves.

    Convenient location, affordable with old rooms but adequate amenities. Clean showers and bathrooms, helpful staff, and good workout facilities. Bag storage available for a small fee. Close to a great deli. Not your typical hostel, more like a low-cost hotel. Clean rooms with semi-private baths. Quiet street despite being in a noisy city.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. the location is simply fantastic. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, everything was within easy reach. The city center, Times Square, and famous landmarks like the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center were all less than a mile away. Furthermore, the hotel is located in a safe area of the city, providing peace of mind for guests.

    I had a fantastic experience at this hotel and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in the city.

    The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, making it really close to all the sightseeing spots of interest. It is also near the UN buildings and embassies, which is great for those visiting for diplomatic purposes. The rooms are spacious and the fitness facilities, such as the swimming pool and gym, are well-equipped.

    The shared bathrooms could be cleaner at times.

    We loved the location of this hotel, as it was conveniently close to the subway and within walking distance of numerous attractions. Additionally, there were several small parks nearby that provided a peaceful escape from the city hustle. The hotel facilities were great, offering full access to the gym and pool, which we took full advantage of. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring our stay was pleasant. Cleanliness was top-notch, with rooms and bathrooms kept spotless. Transportation was a breeze, with an underground station nearby that provided a direct route to the airport.

    Nothings.
