This was a great place to stay. Person at reception was very welcoming. Only negative was that the pipes where we were staying (room 508) were constantly making noise-loud noise- in the middle of the night several times, which made it impossible to sleep. Since they are old radiator, styled water heaters, the pipe pipes never stopped marking a “clanking” noise. (like someone was banging on a metal pipe with a hammer.). Other than that, the room was small, but was very clean.

The location was conveniently located near the 1 train, which made it easy to get there from Penn Station and to the theater. We were also able to drop our bags off before check-in. The rooms are quite compact and walk up only. It worked for a 1 night stay, but probably wouldn’t stay longer.

At less than $200/night minutes away from Greenwich Village with easy access to midtown Manhattan, this hotel is exceptional. Feels more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. The rehab of this late 19th century building keeps up with the needs of today's guest in every way but one: guests must carefully review the website and its photos. This building has no elevator and many long, steep flights of stairs. One must be very aware of this and plan accordingly.

The light in our room was very dim, not good enough to work by, but we only needed a place to sleep. Small room, but had all the necessary amenities. Very good value.
