New York hotels in Chinatown

Hotel is a good location, within walking distance to SoHo, Nolita, Bowery, short train ride into Brooklyn. I came in on a red-eye and arrived at the hotel at 6:30 and they had a room for me, which they claimed it was a "free upgrade." Heater didn't work as well. Room was 50 degrees when I arrived. Put it on full blast and it only got up to 58 in 4 hours. I left it on and took off, returning 15 hours later at 3am and the room was still only 62 degrees. The luggage storage lady was rude and inattentive. She was rude when I dropped off my bag and I had to retrieve it myself. Also they used stickers with crappy adhesive so now my luggage has goo on it.

I was looking for a hotel in NYC within walking distance of the Lower East Side, and found this. It was one of the cheapest hotels that met that criterion, at $250 per night (not including tax, which brought it up to $290). The room was sufficiently large to be comfortable to move around in, and the bed was firm (which I like). Everything was clean enough. There is free internet and it's fast enough to use it for work. The person who checked me in was friendly and had been nice on the phone when I called to say I'd be checking in late. The person who checked me out was fine, but less friendly. I can't criticize the staff, though - they were fine. There is nothing in the hotel to enjoy. No lobby to sit in (i.e., there's the front desk and maybe a chair or two, but that's it), no exercise room as far as I can tell, no restaurant, nothing. And no coffee served in the morning, so you can use the coffee machine in the room (which I never do - no fresh milk for coffee makes it unpalatable) or you can walk for a mile to get somewhere to get coffee. So if you get up early (as I did, coming from France I was on a different time schedule), it's really kind of disappointing and difficult. While it was clean, the price wasn't low enough for me to consider it again. I'd rather pay an extra $50 per night and have a better location and overall better hotel facilities. (I might even be willing to pay $100 more for that - it was really that unpleasant.)

near subway, nice rooms wifi was not great.

The location! The hotel is opposite the Columbus park. A little park; the whole day mostly Chinese people do their Tai-Chi. But also several different martial arts you can admire.Plus people playing cards, a children's playground.. very good atmosphere. The buzz outside of the regular very intensel NY airconditioning intallations

We did appreciate the location, the wooden floor of our room and the breakfast included in our night rate. The noise coming from the street, no noise insulation, I think they should implement that a lot especuially for the rooms onto Bowery street and Grand Street.I think the linens (both bathroom and bed) should be cleaned much better, while the cleaning of the room was great!

Staff is very pleasant. They help you with everything.

Clean and cosy room with all appropriate amenities, free wi-fi, location close to all attractions of lower Manhattan. One of the best prices for such a hotel in Manhattan. Location in th heart of Chinatown is probably not the thing you expect from staying in NYC.

We stayed for five nights in september-09 at Comfort Inn Manhattan Bridge. The service was ok, Breakfast meny was very american with waffles and bagels, but we liked it. The everyday cleaning was without any complains. Very comfortable beds. The hotel is newly renovated so everything was very clean and fresh (includning the bathroom). The location of the hotel was ok, but it's almost in Chinatown, so you have to walk 10-15 minutes to get out of that area. The staff on the hotel could be a little more serviceminded.

Perfect localization: close to B, D and 4,5,6 trains. Centre of Chinatown with it's unique climat. Close to Soho, Noho etc. Room small but quite comfy. Cleaned every day. Nice and helpful staff. Free wifi and access to computers/printers. Excellent value for money. Breakfasts - better go to the nearest Starbucks.

Cheaper than many other hotels, croissants and tea included, good tv, bathroom fairly clean Bedsheets quite grubby-looking, bed very hard, shower quite painful, wallpaper rather interesting...

next to Chinatown and to places we wanted to visit the guy at the reception didn't seem too receptive....felt we were disturbing him when we had a question to ask him

Location Gross bathrooms with collapsing ceilings, loud and dumb neighbors, too bright to sleep, if the A/C goes out you'll basically suffocate.

What an unusual place! You walk up four long flights, get a bright and clean though windowless cell, find acceptable bathrooms down the hall, and wonder if it's a good idea. The room has tiny cabinet, light, plugs, mattress, sheets, blanket, pillow, trashcan. You were given soap and shower slippers. The floor is locked and your room is locked. Hardware screen for a ceiling to make the HVAC common to all 80 cells and it works well. A number of students with backpacks giving it a hostel feel, though the lower floors have the same design though much older and occupied by local Chinese. Apparently the design is a tenament style housing for single men. Very interesting. Unusual value for Manhattan. Safe. Don't go for the view.

The location was nice. Easy access to Subway and walkable to China Town and Little Italy. The price was affordable for staying in Manhattan. The hotel provided towels, shampoo, travel tooth brush and tooth paste. The bathrooms are shared but generally we didmt have to wait long for an opening. Also they are spacious and cleaned daily. This is a decent place if you are traveling alone and just looking for a cheap please to sleep. The room was very small (6'x9'). The mattress springs were squeaky and uncomfortable. There sheets and comforter were stained. Only on of the outlets worked. The room had a small fan but NO WINDOW and very little room to move around as the double bed took up most of the space. All that said our biggest complaint was the noise. There is no sound insulation. We were in a room in the middle of the hallway and we could hear talking from adjacent rooms, all of the movement in the hallway, doors opening and closing and even street noise (sirens, large trucks). If you are a light sleeper this is definitely not the place for you.
