Location is really good, other than that - really bad shower and toilet experience overall. The staff that was cleaning bathrooms was very rude everyday and didn’t allow anyone to go in agressively when she was cleaning, even tho sometimes u just really need to go to bathroom right now

Location is good. However, cleanliness should be improved.

3.0

the room was dirty, the filter of the air conditioner was filled with dust. The pillow sheet and bed sheet had bad odor. The shared washroom was often out of toilet and hand drying paper. There was one time no hot shower during the evening without advance notice.

− Room should be cleaned up and pillow and bed sheets should be clean without odor. Filter of the air conditioner should be cleaned after each stay.

Buen alojamiento si valoras la ubicación

9.0

La ubicacion muy cercana a times square, la relación calidad precio, el personal amable, los baños a pesar de ser compartidos estaban limpios.

− Al llegar nos dieron una habitación sin limpiar de los huéspedes anteriores pero nos cambiaron a otra. La luz de la habitación parpadeaba y en ocasiones se apagaba.

Très bien situé, c'est le seul intérêt.

− Sale, surtout au niveau des parties communes. Les sanitaires en très mauvais état, répugnant. Les chambres vraiment petites.
