Manhattan Bowery Lodge

Cheap, clean enough. Very small but sometimes you just need a bed in a room, and a shared bathroom

Nice people in a great location. Cannot beat the price.

Photos are deceiving. Very nice people who work there but extremely out dated and bed was plywood! No cushion at all! Hard! Bathrooms were dirty. Not sure how often they are cleaned since we share it could be other customers but dirty! Hairs and towels left. I wouldn’t stay there again. Good location but not worth the hard bed and dirty restrooms.

It wasn't much, but it was what was I expected. Clean bathrooms, room was good, so it was a decent inexpensive place to stay in NYC.

Lady at the office was very helpful and kind to me throughout my stay!

Good transport links. Central to where we needed to be

This is hands down the best value to stay in the NYC area. This is less of a traditonal hotel and more of a place to crash in between adventures. The room we stayed in was roughly 8x6 and had a small night stand, bed, light and outlet. The single rooms share one of four shared baths, which were always clean and had no wait to use. The larger bunk bed style rooms have thier own bathrooms. The rooms are close together so you can hear other rooms' at some times but it wasnt disruptive. There is a microwave in the lobby and free coffee and tea avaliable. We had limited interactions with the staff but they were friendly and had a little bit of a language gap. This property is located in Chinatown, just a short walk from markets, a great park amazing food and subway transportation. For less that $100 a night, it would be hard to beat.

It’s close to the wet market so there’s a lot of trash.

I visited this hotel. And one of the first days I got a lot of itchy bumps on my hands. I showed it to the owner and said it must be bed bugs. As she assured me it couldn't be. And she gave me something to smear it with. But now we have brought bed bugs home from the hotel and they are everywhere. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE
