A cozy little hotel. The location was perfect for me — just a one-minute walk to the Bhakti Center. The room was small but had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable, everything was clean, and there were pillows to suit every preference. The bathroom was a bit old and not very convenient — that’s the only downside. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This hotel is a great price for a place in Manhattan with your own bathroom. Very close to a subway station, relatively quiet for being on busy street. The rooftop is a nice place to enjoy a coffee, bagel or anything else you take out from the endless choices of nearby restaurants.

I book this place for the convenience of the bars, restaurants, and the nearby subway to explore NYC. The online check-in to the hotel & room was fortunately not an issue as the instructions were clear to get in the building. That part, I will rate the hotel as five stars. However, there were some cons I need to point out. The first and biggest one was, I was placed on the first floor (104). Don't know what I did to deserve that punishment. The only saving grace was that room is not facing the main street (E Houston St) so it was somewhat quieter, but it was still a slight security concern. Secondly, my room was not a twin bed room that I booked, but a three's company which I did not like and had to sleep on the top bunk. Finally, I was not provided face cloths for shower use. I would only recommend if you can one avoid the first floor especially and two if you like the convenience of being at East Village & LES for the bars and restaurants.

The hotel just needs some love -- a bit neglected and dark and sad with really old mattresses.

The Location was amazing. I expected the room to be small and it was small. When we arrived we had a big trash bag of laundry outside our door and it stayed there the whole time. I was not surprised because we didn't see anybody who worked there until the next morning. Our room was half cleaned thank god clean sheets, but the floor was sticky and dirty plus a random dirty sock was under the bed. The only mirror was in the small bathroom no full mirror. We had a clean fridge coffee pot coffee but no coffee cups or sugar or creamer. When we were pleasantly surprised that when we got back at 3:30 am snacks had been left out at the front desk.

Good price and location but bed not so comfy

The only thing that did not meet my expectations was the bed. It was not soft or springy in any way. Kind of like lying on slightly padded cardboard. Other than that contactless check in was great, room was clean, had everything I needed. Close to subway, restaurants, etc.

I’ve stayed here many times and the rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The location is great, so convenient to the East Village, LES, Chinatown, even SoHo and Little Italy if you like to walk. Or the F train is on the corner. Not fancy but has everything you need. Self check-in is easy.

This is a contactless check-in hotel so there really is no service. That includes maid service, which is fine by me. I believe there was a bit of false advertisement, and hotels.com is partly responsible. The room pictures were NOTHING like our room. Really was JUST a bed. No desk, useable closet, or chair. You could barely walk without hitting your head on the tv or stubbing your toe on the bed. Nowhere to put luggage except under the bed, which was terribly dusty. We should have had a lower rate than what was advertised. Bathroom is VERY small, not for big people. ONLY good thing is the location, which is excellent.
