“One Star Surprise”

In reality this is a youth hostel. The washrooms were a disaster and the windows that do open also let in the cold weather which at 32 degree and lower is not a good thing. TV's don't work except the one in the lobby, Insufficient bedding (ask for extra towels and blankets and they will be provided) and rather uncomfortable sagging beds with thin and sagging mattresses. No maid service during stay. No frills to the max!

“Okay, I guess”

For what I paid, I didn't expect a five-star experience. Room was clean, and the bathroom was cleaner than my own at home. The TV didn't work, the internet wasn't free, but they weren't too big sacrifices. However, there was very little to no heat in my room, and I had to sleep with the jacket on.

Area recommendations
New York has good neighborhoods all over.
Getting there
The closest subway station is the 1 line at Broadway and 110th Street Cathedral.

“Has the feel of a government housing complex”

Probably one of the worst hotel stays ever. The room was small, with 2 bunk beds, both of which were broken. The hotel and the room had a strange odor, and the room had a cooler however there was no place to plug it in. The sheets were dirty and had blood stains on them, and the shared bathroom was just plain gross. The front desk service was hostile and made me uncomfortable. Booked for 3 night, however only stayed for two. Could not wait to get out of this place.

“I stayed in bunk-bed room: OK if you believe like me that "you get what you pay for"”

I stayed in the bunk bed room: in a nutshell "you get what you pay for", not the cleanest or the slickest, not even the "traveller hostel" feel as it's kinda a hotel, but if you're only interested in a place to sleep for few days: it's OK (again I stayed in a shared bunk bed room for the typical low end price of a hostel, so my expectations weren't high)

“Very basic”

A place to sleep at a reasonable price. Very small room with double bed and bathroom down the hall. Towel but no soap. TV didn't work, which was the only disappointment. Otherwise, very basic hotel/hostle, but exactly what I expected and wanted - nothing more or less. A bit far from the subway (about 3 short blocks). I'd stay there again.

To be the fist time of staying in a hostel was a good experience.

“Can't beat it.”

An incredibly inexpensive, reasonably clean and comfortable place to stay. It's not the Ritz by any stretch of the imagination, but you're in New York, so you only need the room to sleep and shower anyways. Will be staying there again.

Area:

Upper West Side, New York, United States of America: Some bemoan that the Upper West Side has become a version of the Upper East Side. Case in point: Columbus Circle’s Time Warner Center, one of New York’s priciest real estate. The Upper West Side includes the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the American Museum of Natural History, and Columbia University. Harlem, the legendary African American neighborhood, lies north and caps Manhattan.
