a hotel the worst sort, such a thing never seen. Dirt everywhere, Bugs in the entire complex. Toilet vollgekotet only the next morning cleaned. The floors bursted with dirt that at a price from 99 to 109 $-day. The stall is closed, I have the tourist office in new York said. Funky is even in darkest Asian, Indian hotels not. The noise was unbearable, due to the Riverpark highway. Since the window were broken was the noise even bigger. Also in the street itself was by honking and trash collection etc. The noise unbearably loud. I have just a night ... the hotel vamoose, although I for 7 days had booked. read more

    thank god was the bed at least freshly made and the linen clean. There is a fridge on the table, which constant by loud one-off annoyed. The remote control to the TV not fit was the smallest bad.

the hotel is a absolute the dump not only very dirty, but also Risk life and limb! It is everywhere dirty and it smells like urine and faeces. Bad is however electric infrastructure in the hotel. In some rooms and hallways light and electrical outlets not working. True dangerous but the lines are displayed in the rooms are. Even worse is the fact that the floors-bathrooms, because there are such bad cables, even by the shower. read more

This hotel is a disaster. The elevator is just about functional, the Corridors are dingy, cable came from the walls, the plaster crumbled and the carpet sticky and dirty. In the room the sheets were clean, but one of the ' mess 'other deterred, that you may affect as little as possible. The highest of emotions was the toilet/bath situation. You only found this time (there are about five toilets/bathrooms) and you have to deal with the disgust. (If any) the windows don't move, the water was brown edges were in the shower and on the floor. There is apparently ... only once a day promptly-very promptly-by mopped. Will you not imagine how many germs and bacteria live there. An absolute nightmare and a disgrace so much more to charge money for this condition! Complaints are not considered, let alone get your money back. These have tried in vain! read more

70 Euros a night per person in a double room would not recommend it. We had in New York for 60 euros a night So much better. The rooms smell strange (probably the insect repellent plug) and it's like in a worn hostel. you would be a lot cheaper one could say you have eaten there to stay, but she did not go to the price, even though it is in New York City is read more

Long, bare, grimey floors, funny smell in the hallways. Old and worn. The only great thing about this hotel is definitely the price! We have only 65 euros per night for the room (including all charges! ) Is paid, this is by far the cheapest you can find in New York! So more like 3 days at this hotel had we not as you want to spend with so much SCHMUDDEL unwell and it's not in the shower or yourself sitting on the toilet could relax for a couple of minutes. read more

    Stained walls and stained carpet. Furniture old and broken! Closet doors hung down! When trying to open the windows I thought it at one time in the hand!!! The bathrooms are located right across the street, but not always free and very old and worn and not really clean.

    In a secluded residential area, but only about 7 minutes walk to the subway station 72th Street. I would recommend a hotel in the center of the city (so near Times Square) rather recommend.

Dirty hotel in a good location archived

We had for such a low price not expecting much from the hotel, but I would be so dirty, we still hadn't expected. In the bathroom (shared bathroom) were hair everywhere on the floor, the during our 1 week stay was never cleaned. The showers were dirty and cramped hair, the toilet regularly filled with stool, since there was no toilet brush. On our first night was completely been trow up against the toilet. In our room was missing window pane replaced by plastic ones, so it was moved. When you open the closets we had the whole closet door ... in hand and it was always dark, as the view from the window was addressed to a wall. though, as the hotel is located very close (5 min walk) to the subway and it's only a 5 minute drive to Times Square (downtown). There was also a/c, fridge. Towels were changed every day. Conclusion: The star is UNDESERVED, I would never stay at this hotel again!!! read more

So, if you feel like hostels here great, especially if you clean the two Etagenbäder where it is! We had a clean room with a TV and a fridge! The hotel is in a great location, right on the Hudson River ... From there you can in all directions walking or driving! It is great with the metro from John F. Kennedy away! Metro ticket is well worth the wait! The metro system is great extended and it almost no waiting time! New York is a city worth seeing with a lot of nice people and cultures! read more
