Shower could have been a little cleaner, it’s dark inside.

Location and value. Staff nice and walked us to it out of their way. Gave us good explanation on usage of apartment.

Good location, comfy beds, felt like a safe area

Good value for money to have a shared kitchen and bathroom in New York. The streets around it feel slum-like.

It wasn’t clean, survices were dusty, bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly. There were just 1 sharp knife and 1 butter knife, no forks, 2 cups and absolutely no pots or pans. Washing machine was listed but wasn’t there.

Location is great and it is good place to stay for the money. We arrived at 3 in the morning and they checked us in for just 15 dollar fee.

You get what you pay for. This isn't luxurious but affordable for NYC, staff were very friendly and we felt comfortable staying there. But don't expect anything too amazing.

Room was clean, apartment was cleaned daily, location was amazing

They lost my prepaid reservation; fortunately recovered it and made another room ready only after 30 min. of waiting at the reception. Reception desk address at Bowery Lodge was slightly hard to locate.

Good position close to Subway train station. Charming old house with the rooftop view (several different houses in the neigbouhood of Chinatown to be accomodated in).

I would not recommend this apartment because the room was very small and extremely dirty. I had to dust it myself. There was no wardrobe or shelf where I could unpack my clothes. The staff was nice and the location was good, but the room was ugly.

Stayed in March 2024

Based on the charge, room was overall good. Not much space to move around the room and sufficient amount of dust in the floor, back we could handle it. Less than 5 minutes away from closest subway station. Beds were pretty convenient.

The experience would’ve been better if it had been clean for my mom and me. Also, we had to pick up the keys at another place and then walk a lot to the apartment, and that 1st place gave us a wrong impression.

Even though we knew it would not be a luxurious place because we wanted to save money, when we got there, there was a lot of trash in the hall before getting to the actual shared apartment. That made our 1st impression negative because of the bad smell. The metro station was close, within walking distance and we loved that. There were many not-fancy but tremendous and helpful stores to buy clothing and breakfast. We recommend Granddaddy's to go for a bagel.

Cockroaches everywhere. Black mould on the walls. Blood stains on the mattress.

it was a dirty, dingy apartment, it wasn't made clear that it was a shared apartment. the area immediately outside and around the apartment was downbeat to say the least, dirty streets and a lot of homeless people, although it didn't feel unsafe at all.

The general location was great, lower manhattan, really not far from everywhere

Cleanliness of room and shared facilities especially bathroom was below any expectation. Shower was extra dirty, bath tub is full of mold.. They say that the apartment is equipped with towels but they are just towels left by previous guests. Kitchen floor was full of hair, dust and dirt to that extent that we had to use vacuum cleaner and clean it by ourselves. In general place looks like nobody invested in it for at least 20 years. Advice for future guests, brinf your towel, slippers and pillow case.

Only the price and location were acceptable everything else was terrible.

Softer pillows would’ve been nice.

Very accessible and comfortable. The location was very convenient. The woman on the phone was very helpful with arrangements prior to arrival.

As the apartment is closer to the market of Chinatown, the streets are always dirty in the end of the day. But on the following morning they always wash the sidewalks and collect the garbage. The bathroom is shared and a deep clean would made our experience even better.

The location is excellent! You're near Chinatown and Little Italy and close to the subway station. The staff Pink was amazing during the checkin. She showed us the best places to enjoy around the neighborhood and was kind the whole time. The apartment has a lot of facilities that made our stay comfortable. Our room was clean and the AC worked perfectly.

It's cheap, but don't be deceived. This is not a typical case of "you get what you pay for" - this property is a health hazard! Please avoid it! It's not worth it! The shared bathroom had never been cleaned during the entire week I spent there, and when I arrived, it was already repulsive, so it was sickening! It was really disgusting! The area seems unsafe, with a nearby park where illegal activities appear to be taking place - EXTREMELY SHADY. The check-in process was frustrating, confusing, and lengthy - at a different address than advertised. We had to lug our luggage through Chinatown, following the only staff member I saw, who could barely communicate in English and was rather rude. He rushed us and would sometimes disappear from sight during the 3-block dreadful walk from the check-in location to where we were supposed to stay - I would describe it as stressful and frightening. I tried several times to contact the only provided phone number to figure out which address I should be at, but I never got a response. Honestly, I had to rely on trial and error and ask around until I found it - it was insane and didn't live up to any of my previous experiences with Booking.

It's located two blocks away from Grand St. subway station, which made it convenient to leave the area as soon as possible.

It was really dirty, dangerous area, not comfy at all, so loud during the night. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Dirty and felt insecure

There wasn't really much natural light in the accommodation.

Excellent for the price. I had my own private room in a shared apartment. This was basic accommodation, but the the bed was very comfortable and the apartment itself was clean and supplied with toiletries and towels. The apartment was cleaned during my stay and an issue with a blocked toilet was dealt with promptly. Location wise, the Bowery may not be the prettiest place in New York but there are lots of bars and places to eat around and it is very convenient for getting uptown or downtown, or across to Brooklyn. This accommodation exceeded my expectations all round.
