Liked: Location was very good.

Disliked: Was not the cleanest -under the bed and cupboards messy. We also had mice visit us during the night. When reported to the staff we did not get any compensation for the fact that two mice were climbing on top of our bags. The luggage storage service has time limit which in our case was an inconvenience.

Liked: Small rooms but very comfortable beds with clean sheets and serviced everyday. Room was also very quiet at night, not a lot of noise from the street or surrounding nightclub. Shared bathroom but only with 1 other room meaning only 4 people max. will be using the bathroom and we never even bumped into the other couple. Breakfast was nice, coffee or tea and your choice of a paistry. Location is amazing for everything as NYC is a walking city. Metro stops also 2 blocks away for metro users. Staff friendly and willing to help, overall a good cheap place to stay in the thick of the city.

Disliked: Small room but that is expected for NYC and bed was a little creaky when you moved on it bit nothing a normal person can't handle.

Liked: Central Manhatten location.

Disliked: Expensive for what you got. We have previously stayed in Queens, a block from the subway that gets you into Manhattan in about 15 mins, which was about half the price for much nicer accommodation. I wouldn't stay in downtown Manhattan again. The hotel wasn't so much 'lovingly restored' as it claims on its own website, as new coat of paint slapped on.

Liked: Amazing location with great access to the subway. Breakfast an added bonus and very tasty. Enjoyed our stay and time there.

Disliked: The place is just somewhere to put your head down, doesn't try to be anything else. Not the most glamourous place but perfectly satisfactory.

Liked: I liked the location and the size of the room. I felt like the recepcionist did everything she could for me, even though she didn't give the right info a couple of times.

Disliked: It wasn't clean enough for a good service. I found an used band-aid between my bed's sheets. On the other hand the breakfast was really poor, they gave me a bread with no butter, jam, or whatever, they didn't have fruit and the guy actually talked to me like I was stupid.

Liked: Great location close to Union Square. Friendly and helpfull staff. Toilet was broken when we arrived but fixed in an hour. The room was small and cosy - like we expected. Room service came by every day and provided fresh towels etc. Considering the low price we got much more than expected. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling on a budget.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike - value for money.
