New York City

For what it was, the Gershwin was worth every penny. They are located just blocks from the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Rockefeller Plaza, and Times Square/42nd St. If you want to go anywhere else, they're close to the subways. The staff is friendly and so are most of the guests. If you're looking for cleanliness, I would suggest a single room as opposed to their 10-bed dorm-style rooms. As a weekend rambling man, it was perfect for me.

The location and unique environment of the hotel is a nice touch.

Two colloge students in NYC for weekend-hotel is right around the corner from the Empire State Building and in walking distance to all the great sights. Very cool art and nice vibe in the hotel-friendly and helpful staff-good for those on a budget!! :)

When you choose a bunk room at the Gershwin Hotel it's really not for comfort and cleanliness (but I don't say it's a trash..., the reception floor is clean); but more for its position in NYC, close to the Empire State Building and quite from Time Square. 10 per Bunk Room, it is their choice but it's too many, 8 or 6 should be better. Bathroom are really small but when you are in NYC for fun you don't spend 10h in your Bathroom... Bunk room are quite cold so it's better to come with your sleeping bag. Now I don't know how look individual rooms certainly better

I needed something affordable for one night in NYC and therefore chose the dorm room of the Gershwin Hotel. Clean room, clean (shared) bathroom, very nice desk personnel, great location! Was a little bit strange to sleep with people in a room you see for the first time that night, but quite some interesting conversation developed out of this fact. The only thing that was hard for me: the night. I do not have a light sleep but with 10 people in a room, someone is always snoring, searching something, moving or putting on the light. This is to be expected before of course and cannot be said to be a negative point of the hotel. But I would either recommend some good hearing protection for the night or some heavy alcohol use, so that your sleep is undisturbable:) Good hotel over all!
