New York hotels in Chinatown

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.)

The proximity of Hotel Mulberry to some of New York's great neighbourhoods and the fantastic balcony made it a fantastic place to finish our adventure in New York. Staff were very helpful and accomodating for any requests we made.

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

Staff is very pleasant. They help you with everything.

Spotless, comfortable room. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Great location in the buzzing heart of Chinatown. Breakfast arrangements a bit scrappy at busy times.

Noisy, poor breakfast, small room, connecting room (single door between the rooms) generating excessively close with neighbors - you share their conversation, their shower, their TV ...

Excellent price for New York, especially for a new, modern hotel. The location, but acceptable for the lower price paid.

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.

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.

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.

I already knew the hotel. It's very well located (Lower East side, close to bars, clubs and music venues), clean and recently renovated, and well-priced with regards to other hotels in Manhattan. No remarks here because for that rate one really cannot expect a whole lot of luxury.

Good veiw)) Housekeeper didt change towels

Cleaness ,wifi Noisy , no shower had to go to another room for shower

All of New York, nothing about the hotel! Everything I didn't like

was really easy to find the bed was like sleeping on a plank of wood, the rooms were very small

location is quite good since it is close to subway. the staff attitude particular the lady (I believe she may be the owner or the senior manager). One morning I met her in the restaurant for breakfast. She warned me I cannot use the paper for put bread in the microoven. In fact, there is no paper plate in the restaurant but it is not the main point. Main point is her manner. Then, she left the restaurant and turn off the light. Oh...my god. I am still in the restaurant and I am the customer. I do not know reason since it is my second time to meet this lady...

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

Nothing at all. Single thin mattress on wood platform. Room in 6' wide with no ceiling, just chicken wire. Three common bathrooms per floor are disgusting. Rotting ceilings in number of areas. No elevator. Drug addicts and hookers walking round. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!'

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

You get exactly what you pay for, a very safe, clean and very, very small room about 4 feet wide and 6 feet long. But that is exactly what I wanted, plus an internet connected computer at the end of the hall. Also very, very quiet. Stairway was a bit dirty and there was no elevator up to 5th floor.

i got to help out a friend in need. This place was just bad. Bed beds. Public washroom. No tv. No windows. Rude staff. Dirty. Do not book a room here unless it's your last choice and you're totally broke. I could have pocketed the cash and gotten better sleep in my car and cleaner with a packet of baby wipes. The staff was so rude I think they may have been on work release from jail. I didn't even want to shower it was so gross. I think the rest of the hotel guests may have been on meth they seemed content. For $100.00 bucks it was not money well spent. STAY AWAY.

Just position and price are good. clean in room and very very small

room as cheap They put me in a cheaper room (that i didn't reserve) and charged me for the room I booked. they filled up all the rooms so i was unable to switch.

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 bed was horribly uncomfortable, creaked everytime you moved. Staff, unfriendly n unhelpful Bad

Nothing no elevator On constructing For one sentence, This is not a HOTEL Backpackers is better than this
