Best for
Best suited to budget-focused travelers who prioritize a central Manhattan location and transit access over private facilities. It works well for solo travelers or small groups comfortable with shared bathrooms and bunk-bed rooms, and who value breakfast, a shared kitchen, and on-site laundry.
Travel tips
Plan to use the nearby 23 Street subway station (about a 4-minute walk) for fast access to Midtown attractions like Times Square (2,058 m) and Rockefeller Center (2,166 m). If you’re sightseeing on foot, the Flatiron Building (577 m) and Empire State Building (1,011 m) are among the closest major points of interest. Note that some guests report limited bathroom capacity and no elevator, so pack and plan accordingly—especially for late-night routines or heavy luggage.
What guests say
Reviews frequently highlight the property’s value for money and its convenient Manhattan location, with guests also praising friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is a recurring positive, with mentions of good variety and freshness, and some guests appreciate the available amenities for a budget stay. Negative feedback centers on the shared-bathroom setup, with reports of limited bathroom capacity and cleanliness concerns. Another recurring drawback is building access, including the lack of an elevator, which can make stairs and luggage more difficult.
