Here's the scoop
Listen folks, if you are low on funds and need to stay in Manhattan for a night, this will suffice. I don't recommend couples coming here for a sexy night because the walls are thin and the ceilings are like mesh. You can hear everything. I'd say it's clean, but you can't clean built in grime. Great location. Nice staff.

No towels, toilet paper or soups. Not clean or sanitized. Filthy bathroom including toilet. Dirty floors. I won’t recommend this hotel to anyone, even my worst enemy. It’s totally bad!

Try to avoid, not worth it
I understand that this is one of the cheapest listings in Manhattan, but I did not expect this level of dirtiness on the property. You have to ask for sheets and pillow cases yourself (they didn't look clean either). If you're really tight on the budget, I'd recommend going further to other boroughs or just stay in the cleaner hostel.

It’s ok
It’s the bare minimum of a hotel. Unlike other people who reviewed this hotel, I don’t think it was dirty. The bed was clean. No bed bugs are anything like that. The mattress was ok. The bathroom was ok. There was so noise during the day.

Paper thin walls, the floors were filthy. Mop buckets in the hallways were disgusting. Non smoking throughout, however my room smelled like cigarettes when we arrived, and people smoked in the hallway by the fire escape, just outside our room, pretty much around the clock, and staff didn’t seem to care. The room was the exact length of the bed, and an extra 2 feet on the side, mattress was uncomfortable and I had to sleep on a diagonal to stretch out (and I’m 5’1” and petite). The only good thing was the convenience of the location. I would not stay here again and would definitely not recommend it. One of the worst budget hotels I’ve ever experienced

Absolute disaster! Stay away.
I've stayed in many hotels throughout NYC & this is by far the worst! Wish I never booked a room here. No one should pay money to stay at this place. Too many things wrong here. Key had a hard time turning just to unlock the door. The bedroom & bathroom were very dusty, as if no one had been there for years. The sheets on the bed weren't clean, had stains, hair, & dust. The room didn't have a phone (or a clock) so I had to go downstairs to tell them that the sheets weren't clean. The guy at the front desk gave me "clean sheets" only for me to find out when I got back upstairs that even though those sheets were cleaner, they were still dirty with red stains. The comforter was even dirtier & one corner of it had a big yellow stain resembling urine. Even though the windows were closed, you could still feel a draft of cold air coming in so the room was very cold & not much heat was provided throughout the night. The ceiling near one of the 2 windows had water dripping from it. A small roach was on one of the bathroom towels. The bathroom sink drains so slow that I had to floss & brush my teeth in the shower. The shower head was really dirty, but to be fair most hotels don't seem to clean this. I actually took the filthy shower head off just to shower. The wall outlets were practically useless. Anything that you plugged into them usually fell right out just seconds later. So I couldn't charge my phone. There's much more, but hotels.com limits the amount of text you can put here.

You get what you pay for.
A mouse was trying to sneak into the room via the gap underneath the room door. It went back out the room as soon as I saw it. The bed sheets had burnt cigarette holes in them. You pay for what you get. If all you're doing is sleeping here, that's fine. But if you will be resting here during the day, the comfort level is so so.

Worst hotel on earth, 0/10 would not recommend Poor amenities, taking a shower there would mean dying within 48h of various infectious deseases, one toilet for the floor, not real walls which means you hear everything, and when I say everything I mean everything, including vacuuming at 1h in the morning, all my stuff smells heavily of cigarette even though there are signs everywhere that smoking is prohibited, and be prepared because if you think you won't freeze to death during the night, you have another thing coming! Would actually like to get my money back.

Rat Invasion
It was a nightmare experience for us. We had a rat in our room first night. This is a huge healthy problem. We requested to change a room next day. A young service man who was working at front desk refused to do so. We were forced back to the same room for another three nights. He was also very rude. In addition, cigarette smoking came into the room through room ceiling all night long. Bed sheets were dirty with multiple blood marks. This hotel should be delisted from Hotels.com website. Please stay away from this hotel. I have stayed countless hotels throughout the US in past thirty years. This is the worst experience and only time I encountered a rat in a hotel room.

easily the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, at New York. At least my reservation was there, but no towels, and my room's floor was not clean. Also a very noisy room near the front desk made it difficult to sleep!

I wasn't expecting too much, but it was a lot less than that. Great neighborhood, but private room in hotel had bed bugs, mold, dirty sheets, dirty comforters, dirty shower curtain. It was really loud. People slamming doors all night. I thought I booked at the New World, but it's called the World Hotel and doesn't look like the pictures at all.

The location was pretty good. Just one block from Manhattan Bridge but that’s the only good thing about it. 10 million stairs to climb to get to a tiny, dirty room where the sheets were stained in god knows what. Paid extra for a private bathroom but the shower didn’t work and the towels were just bigger than a tea towel! The electric socket was loose and had to wiggle it to charge my phone. If I plugged it in next to the tv, the tv stopped working!
