Manhattan Bowery Lodge

In NYC where space is so valuable, don't expect much here with this price. The bed took up the majority of the tiny room.. barely any space to walk in the room. It truly is just a place to leave your things and sleep. No common area. Kind staff though.. but next time I'd rather stay in Brooklyn and have a nicer place to rest.

The cleanest and all around best of the type. They clearly make an effort to provide. Little things like clean bathrooms and enough pillows make this stand out for a place with rooms barely larger than the bed.

Room is teensy tiny but it’s all you need in nyc, best price you’ll get and I felt clean. Theres 4 bathrooms that all stayed clean the entire time. Theres also free coffee, tea, and sometimes snacks. Very kind staff, they store bags if you ask for $5. I travel to NYC a bunch and I would definitely stay here again.

Manhattan Bowery Lodge offers excellent value for money during the Christmas season, especially for budget travelers who plan to spend most of their time exploring New York. The rooms are small and cramped, but this is reasonable for the price paid. Shared bathrooms (four in total) are well maintained, with staff consistently keeping them clean. Fresh towels are provided daily in the lobby, along with complimentary water. The walls are thin, so noise from neighboring rooms can be heard, but this wasn’t a major issue since the room was mainly used for resting. The location near Chinatown is a big plus, with plenty of great food options nearby. Guests should note that the lodge is located on the second floor, which may be inconvenient for those with heavy or multiple large suitcases, as rooms can feel very tight with two large bags. Overall, a practical and affordable choice for short stays in Manhattan
