OK guys my experience at the World Hotel Chinatown NY; this place is so tunneled deep in to the heart of Chinese land in America, the Hotel rooms are very small with paper thin walls and a rotten smell is the first dip, I was in a one bed baby room which was the size of a dog-cage, too many...

Manhattan is expensive. But if you dont want to pay more then 200-300 dollar this is your only option. Take a "deluxe" room then you have your own bath room for 130 dollar per night. Its fairly clean. There are no elevators in the building we where lucky just 2 stairs up!! We had no window in the room and... More

Not only do I second all the negative feedback given so far that I've read, but as a practicing architect I feel the need to pass on the knowledge that this hostel is violating numerous building codes. Not only is this place disgusting, but if any of the pee soaked rooms somehow caught fire, lets just say you're screwed if... More

I recommend against staying at this hotel. I am not too fussy but I turned back while walking up the steps to my 6th floor room because the whole place screamed fire trap; the person working the front desk spoke English but not at a proficient level. I found another hotel down the street for a lot of money. I'm... More

The worst place ever! The room is very small and dirty. The bathroom is even worse. The toilet didn't function. No elevator. The only good thing : it's near the subway. Only. And I got scared of being robbed in that neighborhood and I'm from Brazil.... By the night it's almost like a desert. We stayed there for only one... More

I'm not sure where to start. Worst "hotel" I have ever seen. I had the pleasure of lugging my suitcase to the 5th floor to then enter a room too small to contain it. The room was dirty and very very small. The shared bathrooms were horrendous! Blocked toilets, hair and pee everywhere and a truly formiddable smell. We refused... More

i stayed here recently, having read all the dire reviews, but i'm tenacious, needed somewhere cheap and very short notice so didn't feel like i had much choice. but i think any hostel or b&b would be preferable. the other reviews have it pretty much covered - in the single rooms, if you're taller than 5'6" you won't be able...
