I went there as me and my friends decided to go cheap - great mistake! When I first entered the room I was thinking that it was some sort of funny joke, then I realized that it was truth. Called me spoiled because I am european but here we actualy have windows in every room. Never in my entire life... more

I gave the New World Hotel the benefit of the doubt after reading some negative reviews, and I'm glad I did. Yes, the rooms are kind of small and yes you can hear neighbors' tv and conversation, but on the other hand, the rooms are very affordable compared to other hotels in NYC. At night time, people in adjacent rooms... more

Shower had no curtains : water was pouring everywhere in the bathroom. Not very clean, especially the blanket. Towels were dirty. The air-ventilation is as noisy as in an airplane :... more

This place was awfull. I've stayed in hostels before but this was way worse than imagined. The bed was freakishly hard, it was cold, and diry. The walls are so thin you can hear everything your neighbours do. There were kids screaming down the halls at 2:00am and Chiness television playing all day so you could never sleep. Trust me,... more

If your thinking of staying at the World Hotel I strongly advise you not to. Its small, dirty, and smelly. Our window sill was full of garbage(gum, food, smoked cigars) and there were cockroaches crawling all over the walls. The bathroom was not a complete wall (it ended 1 ft from the ceiling) and we could hear people using the... more

I had read a very negative review posted here but decided to try this place out for myself. Well, it's worse than I've ever imagined. Besides the fact that the rooms have no privacy (you can hear all of your neighbors)... there were roaches, it was dirty, the bathroom was scary--literally. I always stay in budget hotels in NYC and... more

Avoid this place at all cost. Is dirty, the rooms have no privacy, you can listen the people of the next room snoring, laughing and shouting. All because the rooms have in the ceiling some holes that are conected to all the rooms. We feared that there would be hidden cameras in this double ceiling.... took me an hour to... more
