I've been traveling worldwide for years, as a backpacker with very little cash staying in places where it wasn't very safe or clean but was all i could afford and also in nicer places now that i older and have a decent job. Im talking about hovels, hostels, campsites, guest houses and home stays, the lot. This place is ridiculous.... More

I stayed here a couple of years ago, once on my own and once with my sister. It was completely disgusting both times. I only returned for the second time because I didn't know where to begin with searching for hostels in New York in my price range. At the time we stayed, we found out that the building used... More

Well, i've travelled far and wide in my time on this earth so I know what works for me in terms of accomodation. Generally - it's fine to stay somewhere run down and awful - as long as it's very cheap, easy going and relaxed, the staff are friendly and there's lots of opportunities to meet other travelers. If you... More

I stayed here several years ago, and so my review might be a bit out-dated, but I felt compelled to write here so that I might share my experience. First things first. As far as I’m concerned, you won’t find a better deal anywhere in the city. I’m a frequent visitor to New York, have stayed in lots of different... More

The only good thing about this hostel is the security of having a locked room to store your things. This is where the compliments end. In short, the "room" consists of four walls but no ceiling so you hear EVERYTHING even with earplugs, it is like a dorm room of 50 people on your floor. It is worth paying a... More

Hardly a warm welcome. I arrived on Dec 31st and check in was VERY slow. Receptionist seemed in no hurry whatsoever to help me check in. He then preceeded to tell me what a horrible time I would have in times square. The rooms are small-as described and the doors don't reach all the way up or down. It would... More

I stayed in the Whitehouse in the summer of 2010; I was visiting a friend and needed a cheap and local place to stay. I found it! It was ideal for my needs; the rooms were dorm style but separated (with walls but no ceilings) which was fine for my needs. It was fairly quiet and the other people I... More

The location is perfect. Right on Manhattan's lower east side. The Bleecker Street station is 5-7 minutes walk away. The place itself looks run-down and shabby kind of like a halfway house but it's not too dirty or scary. The rooms are laid out like a prison. There's no ceiling so you can literally hear the other residents. The door... More
