It's a very loud hotel. If you want a good and calm night's sleep in a quiet area you will not get it here. If you are looking for a hotel near great restaurants you will not get it here. If you are looking for a hotel that is situated in a picturesque neighborhood with a lovely view... please just look somewhere else. What you get with this hotel is CHEAP and CLEAN. Cheap and clean can go a long way. I never felt unsafe but there is NO ONE on those streets at night. The train passes by the window REALLY close and my room had a view of only the train. I can sleep through anything (thankfully). The area is a really crowded Chinatown. Walking on those streets can be stressful but at least the train is nearbye. Ha ha.

Great location, close to china town and little italy etc. Very very noisey though with train right out window and between room and room was very bad aswell. rooms were small but clean. Friendly staff and helpfull.

I stayed here in April 2011 and thought it was fantastic! It was very clean & the house keeping were great, throughly cleaning everyday. The room was big too, I think we may have ended up in one of the bigger rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I am from London so the subway going past didn't really bother me at all. If you're used to peace & quiet then it may seem a little loud but if you're used to the sounds of a city then you won't mind at all! Also the mattress was amazing! SO comfortable & perfect after long days spent exploring New York!!

A good hotel, very clean, but a little noisy because the room was facing the railway line. Near a metro station with easy access to downtown New York.
