    The "choice" and quality of pastries, which can be optionally bought for breakfast, could be improved.

    Good location in Central Manhattan. Surely the rooms is super small with a bunk bed, but it was expected given the price we paid. The bathroom is quite large though. Nice bar downstairs.

    Small but functional, and an excellent bar.

    The rooms were pretty small, so it wasn't exactly a place you'd want to spend a huge amount of time relaxing as it can feel a little cramped. But most of the time that wasn't really an issue. Would've been nice for the bathroom door to lock/shut fully.

    Good location, the bar area was really nice and made good use of the pool table and table tennis - a very enjoyable aspect of the hotel. Everything else was very much functional, comfortable bed with TV.

    A nice place to stay in the heart of Manhattan.

    The rooms are very small and also have no fridge or coffee making facilities. (Although free coffee is available from the lobby and pastries can also be bought at breakfast time.)

    The location was excellent, close to Grand Central station and within walking distance of many famed Manhattan sites. It’s surrounded by numerous delis and restaurants, with a very good D’Agostino supermarket around the corner. The rooms themselves are small, functional and clean - they are places to sleep rather than spend time hanging out.

    The room is just too small.

    The location is very central and convenient, easy access to subway, eatry, and some of the attractions. Room is clean, staff are friendly and helpful. Even though room is very small, the bed and shower place are reasonably enough. Free hot coffee/tea is provided.

    It's expensive, even for Manhattan, given the room size and facilities. The air ducts pass inside the rooms making noise 24/7.

    The location is excellent, only three blocks away from Grand Central. There is free morning coffee in the lounge.

    Think: inside cabin on a cruise ship, but with a window.

    The lighting in the bathroom for putting on makeup was very lacking. I would have also liked a full size mirror (at least a thin one mounted on the wall). Storage shelving in the bathroom was very narrow, making it hard to hold much of anything.

    Think: inside cabin on a cruise ship, but with a window. The space was adequate for sleeping and getting dressed, which is all we expected for a vacation where we won't spend much time in the room. The air/heat control was very responsive and easy to operate. The water pressure in the shower was fabulous!

    Didn’t like that the rooms were extremely small, hardly any space to open your luggage. We were playing tetris with the 2 big and 2 small suitcases in a room with a bunk bed. Unfortunately, there was no space below the bed to store some luggage, that would have been helpfully.

    Loved the bar with free coffee/tea in the mornings and big couches to relax, ping-pong table. Also liked that they had a free luggage storage, the mattress as well as the pillows were comfortable. Shower was nice, everything was clean. We chose this accommodation because it is close to Grand Central Station and therefore all the main tourist attractions are easily reachable with a group of six people.

    I didn't like the fact that I was overcharged more than I expected regarding the deposit that you have to pay in advance. When you book this hotel, booking doesn't warn you that it's $30 per night and $90 for reserving the room in advance. The whole amount that I was held by the hotel rose to 240+90 so I paid 1,170 as soon as I checked in. Three days after checking out they refunded the 240$ and on March 20th the other 90$.

    I liked the silence in the rooms and the hotel staff at reception was very helpful when they charged me an amount that I didn't understand. Also,the area where the hotel is located is very quiet and safe.
