Will only give two stars because the communication was completely through. This place was absolutely my worst hotel experience however. No heat and it was 18f outside. No towels and it was just weird. Will never come back. The price looks good but honestly don’t gimp yourselves out of 50-100 extra dollars and get a nicer more closer hotel that has /any/ features

It’s nice a clean room. Good response from a text messages. I booked through booking. For the price the giving it’s super good as for HUDSON YARDS IN MANHATTAN NYC

Avoid this building and the multiple companies that have set up their ‘hotel’ in. It is super dodgy and even if you stay due to the price be aware of them charging you for EVERYTHING as well as being non existent when you need to be let in the building! DO NOT STAY HERE

Pathetic

An affordable and authentic option in the heart of the city This hotel is an excellent alternative for those looking for affordable and central accommodation in New York. The place is old and run by the owner himself, who, although he doesn't speak much English, is very friendly and manages to make himself understood perfectly. The rooms are simple, with shared bathrooms and kitchens. Although the bathrooms are old, with some stains and broken parts, they are spotlessly clean. The beds are a little hard, and the mattress is larger than the cot, but they serve their purpose for resting. The bathroom is equipped with soap, hair dryer, shampoo and toilet paper, but you must bring your own towels. The sheets, although used and old, look clean. The floor, although broken in several places, is brilliantly clean. The room windows do not isolate noise well, but it does not affect the experience too much. Security is quite good: upon check-in, the owner gives you a card to open the doors of the building and your room. An important tip: do not lose this card, because you would be unable to enter. The location is unbeatable, just a 20-minute walk from Times Square, Pennsylvania Station and Madison Square Garden. In addition, there are several pizzerias and stores nearby to buy fast food. An important note: the address indicated by Agoda is not correct. It points out a homeless shelter, but the right place is about 300 meters away at 408 West 36th Street, and the owner's phone number is +1 201 496 7246. If you call him and he tells you to wait at the door, don't worry if it takes up to 10 minutes for him to open the door. In short, this is a basic, economical and very well located place. The most important thing is that it is not a scam, and although the owner may take a while to open the door when you arrive, it is a real and trustworthy place. I initially booked through Agoda, but managed to extend my stay one more night directly with the owner, and it worked out even cheaper. --- An affordable and authentic option in the heart of the city This hotel is an excellent choice for those looking for a budget-friendly and centrally located stay in New York.
