“Essential minimum equipment”
The shared toilet and shower are clean, but it is difficult to get hot water from the shower. The room amenities include a bed, power outlets, a chair, and towels, but there are no hangers. There is no elevator, so it is recommended for healthy people.

“Very sad.. You destroyed all the character in that well placed old building for that?”
Liked: The location.
Disliked: I would have been fine with not having a window if it felt a little less like a jail cell inside. It was an empty room with a nothing on the walls, a bed in the middle, thin blue stripped sheets. The walls are not soundproofed at all, I was woken up by someone in the next room passing gas while on the toilet. My toilet paper holder was broken. no thermostat. My tv turned on in the middle of the night by itself, no remote to be found and the buttons on the tv looked like someone rilled them off so o had to unplug it. Their was long hair in the shower and the bathroom floor and bedroom floor need a good hot mop with clean water and bleach about 5 times. I could also see the lights from next door coming through my ceiling while In bed..

“Great staff! But no noise insulation from other rooms, and the building has rats.”
Liked: I liked the friendly staff and the location.
Disliked: I didn't like that I had to share a bathroom. That fact was sort of hidden in the booking.com details when it should have just been spelled out in the title. You had to expand the details of the room and see a little bullet point "- shared bathroom". It wasn't obvious enough. To get a clean dry towel I had to find a staff member and they weren't always around. I wish there were a used towel drop area and then a fresh towel area that I could have access to anytime. The most disturbing part of my stay was that a rat came into my room underneath the large gap in the door and was rooting through my trash until I scared it away. My biggest problem with this hostel is that the walls and doors are so thin that you can hear everyone near you. You'll hear everyone talking on the phone up. You'll hear like everyone's snoring you'll let everyone's sleep apnea and you would be rude to have listened to a movie or anything out loud that would bother people around me. At one point at around 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. a woman. A couple doors down was on the phone for a couple hours. I kept getting woken up by the person in the next room's sleep apnea and wheezing. I think the staff should tell everyone how thin the walls are and to be very quiet during the morning and night time. Also, it seems like the ceilings are not sealed off from the rest of the rooms, so that's probably another reason for the sound traveling everywhere. My room had a window but was locked shut. So basically there was no airflow. And the window shades were a very very thin cloth. I would not have gotten any sleep if I didn't bring a thick sleeping mask. It was a fun experience to stay at a shared bathroom hostel for the first time in Chinatown, but I will definitely choose a regular hotel with a private bathroom and much better insulated walls and ceilings next time.

“One can see a unique hospitality vision emerging at this hotel”
Liked: One can see a unique vision emerging at this hotel. The staff is engaging and respectfully curious about the guests. The hotel worked with me to extend my stay on the day I was scheduled to leave. The guests are friendly and delightful. This hotel is for people of all backgrounds and incomes who want to try something different. It is for people who are adventurous and eager to try places off the beaten path rather than stay at generic hotels. If there were a problem, the staff would help. The hotel is transparent about not having an elevator. However, the small staff appear to be able to assist those who need it with large luggage. I would just not count on this bandwidth being immediately available. Observation: I noticed that a lot of guests here and around New York City have enormous rolling luggage and backpacks. I travel light so I do not understand this approach. The primary guest needs to be at least 21 years old. They accept cash payments.
Disliked: All good.
