This was the most discusting closet of a room I have ever stayed in. No a/c or even a fan. I proped the window open with a water bottle.Not worth $20.00, never mind the $150.00. You share a bathroom with everyone on that floor. The toilet was broken have the time. You have to walk up five flights of stairs.NO... More

Before booking for this hotel, I've spent a lot of time reading all these reviews saying ''Unclean, loudy, hellish hostel'' but I had no other choice, being only 19 years old. We went there knowing it wouldn't been paradise and we were very surprise. It was clean, the room was just fine. The walls were indeed thin, but if your... More

Room looked like closet. You have bed and TV and that's it and it was not very clean. My suitcase barely fit in the room. Disaster! I will never return here again. The only good thing was that the clerk was very nice.

For being centrally located it is a great deal. There are no elevators or personal restrooms but the linens are clean the staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are small but efficient. I will definitely come here next time I stay in New York.

My friend and I have been travelling all over the world staying in countless budget hostels and hotels so are used to and expect poor quality rooms. This 'hotel' is by far the worst hotel I have ever stepped foot in in my life. We were in a 'twin room' and it was literally a room with a bed, barely... More

OK guys my experience at the World Hotel Chinatown NY; this place is so tunneled deep in to the heart of Chinese land in America, the Hotel rooms are very small with paper thin walls and a rotten smell is the first dip, I was in a one bed baby room which was the size of a dog-cage, too many...

Manhattan is expensive. But if you dont want to pay more then 200-300 dollar this is your only option. Take a "deluxe" room then you have your own bath room for 130 dollar per night. Its fairly clean. There are no elevators in the building we where lucky just 2 stairs up!! We had no window in the room and... More

Not only do I second all the negative feedback given so far that I've read, but as a practicing architect I feel the need to pass on the knowledge that this hostel is violating numerous building codes. Not only is this place disgusting, but if any of the pee soaked rooms somehow caught fire, lets just say you're screwed if... More
