the room is clean, but very simple! the staff is nice and helpful and the area is not too touristy, so you can experience the real new york and great restaurants in the area. even the bath rooms are kept clean throughout the day and in the basement you find a chillout area with a flatscreen tv, pool table and... more

We were sent here since our room at Candy Hostel (don't go there, that's really a terrible place!!!) was double booked. I don't expect anything, except for my sheets and the bathroom to be clean and this was the case. Furthermore the people are very friendly and helpfull. On our last night they even offered us to move to a... more

Please, look at my homepage: [--] All was good, but the "hotel" (West Side Inn) was very simple - but cheap. In any case I was pleased with the town! Below you can find two pics showing the average standard of my hotel room... more

I basically used this place to crash at night as I was in NYC for the weekend to party with friends at night. The bathrooms and sheets were clean and no one bothered me. So basically it was enjoyable for me. You can find a same price hostel in Chelsea but I didn't have my passport with me so most... more

Trying to find a good, cheap hotel in New York is like trying to find a street corner at time square without some trying to get your money off you in one way or another. I booked this place because it was cheap and I was visiting in December. Admittedly the airline losing my bags didn't help, but upon arriving... more

There are a few points I'd like to make about this Hotel/Hostel: My boyfriend & I stayed here from mid-August for 3 nights. We were visiting from Los Angeles, California, and this was our first time in the city (as adults). Neither of us are very picky when it comes to living situations. After reading the reviews here, I was... more
