If you're looking for central and cheap!
Geplaatst op 12 feb. 2018 op Hotels
When I was looking for a hotel, I needed it to be cheap, private and near central park. Those are the main things that are good about my stay at the Royal Park and Hostel. Yeah, and some off the staff is friendly. So if you are looking for something cheap and close to the centre of Manhattan, this is a decent place.
But, there were many things that were not good, to say it nicely. The room is very small and the only place you can sit is on the bunkbed. There is no chair or table. The Wifi is wobbly, so my laptop could not cooect. Thankfully there are plenty of neat cafes nearby.
When entering the hotel, a musky scent finds it's way to your nose. All the carpeting is overdue for replacement. In my room, there were holes in the carpet and quite some dirty spots. The bed itself is very noisy. So all I had to do was turn around and it squeeked like hell.
The bathroom had a leaking faucet and the knob to turn on and change the temperature from the shower was loose. I could just take it off. And let's not talk about the showerhead, which would be better to throw away instead of trying to clean it.
All in all, if you are just looking for a place to sleep in for a night or two, and you need it to be cheap with a private room, the place is okay. Apart from that, I would not recommend it.
