Bowery Grand Hotel - New York

Everything! I walked into my room and left immediately, with no other accomodation to go to it was better than staying in what I would describe as a hell hole. They wanted me to leave my key at the desk everytime I left the building however there were 10+ signs in the lobby saying they are not responsible for lost or stolen property. Did not feel safe here what so ever. Would not recommend even to an enemy!

The hotel was dirty. As you walked up the stairs, there roaches crawling around. Next to the reception desk was a room with a employee walking around naked in a office with the door open. The room is not designed as your regular hotel room, it is literally a room with just a bed and two pillows. There is no bathroom, tv, night stand and ect. In this room.i wouldn't suggest anyone stay at this place.

I liked that the room was just enough. Just a place to stay the night, but they had TVs and fans in each room, 4 single bathrooms meant not having to wait in line. Also, there was a basket with toilettries and disposable slippers. Also, wifi had great connection.

Check in process took a little long

this is not a little italy, this is real china town area. and this is not a room, its actually a small closet with bed. horrible place, dont go there. this is not safe at all

Not far from subway station. Not so expensive as another alternatives.

Noisy. Dirty.

great access to attractions and cuisine in manhattan

I loved being just a short walk away from iconic places like Katz's Delicatessen and the bustling streets of SoHo, making it easy to grab a bite and explore the vibrant atmosphere of the city, and despite some noise challenges, the friendly staff were always there to help .

The tax on the room seemed high: room price...$ 55. And tax $11.68 which is aboutt 20 percent. TOTAL. $ 66.68. The room was extremely small, little larger than the bed which was adequate. One needs to carry his luggage up one flight of stairs, maybe should be mentioned.

The bathrooms were fairly clean.

Internet was out the entire three nights we were there, each time they claimed they were going to get it fixed. Bed was extremely uncomfortable and the blankets had stains and cigarette burns. Rooms were no bigger than the bed.

Worst experience of my life, and I believe it is also a brothel...

It is in the heart of China Town. Near the place where our take tour trip's pick-up point. It was convenient for us. Tight room, I can her everything happening outside our room. So this is no first class accommodation. But the bathrooms are clean with hot water. And it's worth my money. A place to stay in since we're out most of the day.

Talk of sound insulation. Security. Tight rooms. No elevator.

Inexpensive

Rats in walls woke us up at three am

Location is great.

Rooms are not actually rooms - they are cubicules, holes in the walls. No windows, no furniture, no hangers, no nothing. There were no bedsheets for the blankets. Bathroom were ok but could have been cleaner. The whole structure looks dodgy and not well maintained.

Blood stains on the walls, bugs, dirt and above all and worst of all a health hazard bathroom. They promised me a room on the first floor then gave me one on the 5th floor, then another time they charged me for a room on the fist then gave me one on the 5th again. The rooms especially the ones on the 5th are smaller than a cane of sardine and only fits one person. The majority of rooms are filthy and with pungent disgusting smell. The staff were very rude and very aggressive when I tried to explain to them that I can not walk up stairs to the 5th floor given there is no elevator and that I needed to carry my bags all the way and down but the response was so rude with a threat that if I did not use the room I will be charged any way....... Bottom line, you will regret using this facility!!

Nothing but one thing......... It made me appreciate why people would rather sleep in the street than this place..

Location is a huge plus

So, I booked this place because it was cheap in NYC. The location is fire-easy to get to the subway and just a walk to Little Italy. But man, the room was tiny! I barely had space for my suitcase and it felt super cramped. The bathrooms weren't the cleanest. Definitely a trade-off for the price.

I appreciated the charming decor and cute atmosphere. The location was fantastic, close to attractions and public transport. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Common areas felt safe and comfortable. Great experience overall 😊
