I actually stayed at the Fresh Hostel which is down the road, but the management is the same; so, I wonder if they just filed another name to avoid all the bad reviews they got so far...

Stayed here for a week and it was all i'd hoped for, clean comfortable bed, quiet enough to get a good night's sleep & helpful staff. Sure it's not the Ritz or the Waldorf, but you're not paying for luxuries - for the solo traveler it's exactly the sorta place you'd expect, perfect for crashing out at the end of... more

I intended to stay four nights in The Widget, but ended up leaving after my first night. When I saw my room, I was shocked by how dirty it looked and how shabby it was. The furniture (the bed, a desk, a chair - no closet) as well as the carpets were not clean but had some mysterious spots on... more

We've just come back from NYC and after staying at The Widget Hotel we were very suprised to learn how great it was there. Our room was very basic but clean and tidy.

You can find bugs in the room and the bathroom. HORRIBLE!!!!Also, the staff were not nice at all. It is ok to stay for a night, but not a few days. U... more

I found this hostel online through hostelworld.com. The photos of the private room give a clean and tidy impression. I was looking for one night stay at NY just for the Broadway show. I booked and paid the deposit. When I checked in, I was given a room without private shower. I went back and asked for a correct room.... more
