I had a wonderful stay at Nap York for a week as a solo female traveller from Europe visiting America for the first time. The location was great - just a couple of minutes walk from Broadway, Times Square and Central Park, with loads of food options on the same block. The facilities were always clean and theres free tea and coffee which is nice. The staff were mostly kind, especially Siomara who was super welcoming and friendly. She was so sweet to give suggestions when asked and very helpful in general. She always greets you with a smile and goes out of her way to help if she can.

Look. You get what you pay for. These are cheap as hell hotels, so don’t go expecting much. In fact, reframe your thoughts and rather than bash the place for lack of amenities, small rooms, not hospital grade cleanliness, etc, appreciate that it’s cheap, you get what you need, and you’re near all the places you’d want to be in NYC. So if you start off with this frame of mind, as far as 1-star hotels go, this fits the bill perfectly lol I picked a double with no windows and a shared bathroom and it was fine. I wanted a bed, some place to keep my stuff while in town, and a bathroom to shower and shit. If your needs are similar to mine, then go ahead and book. As my rule, I bring shower shoes and a pillow case, and buy some cheap disinfecting wipes as a precaution for less than stellar cleanliness and I did use all of them except the case because I forgot and it made the place better for me to stay. Perhaps you could do the same. I saw the ladies cleaning the bathroom and mopping the floor so they do clean. I should note that this is an old building so take that into account. And the staff were friendly. No complaints in that department either.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I was expecting typical tiny closet sized NYC accommodation but the 6 bed dorm room was bigger than my house! I felt super comfortable and enjoyed having the bathroom attached to the room as well. The facilities of the hostel were also great with a kitchen and cheap vending machines as well as a massive library selection and gaming room.
