For the price, it's hard to complain. Great location in Manhattan with four walls around you giving you some level of privacy, unlike a standard hostel dormitory. However, due to the dimensions of the rooms and the lack of a proper ceiling over your head, this is probably not the best place for anyone above 6' tall or anyone who is sensitive to noise. But, if you're not looking for a luxury hotel and mostly only need a place to sleep while visiting New York, this place does the trick. Most of the staff was very nice and helpful, and the place is clean overall. It's next to lots of great neighborhoods, with tons of leisure/food options. And also relatively close to subways that will get you anywhere you need in NY. Of course there are the inevitable quirks and issues of staying at a cheap place, but if you're not too picky, this place is quite the bang for your buck.
