New York City

It was a dive but that's what i expected. If you are not looking to spend a lot, this is the place to stay.

 

location is the best thing about this hotel

The hostel needs some serious interior work. The steps sag, making it rather tricky to navigate, and dangerous as well. The 1st floor bathrooms are in dire need of an overhaul. One of the tubs/shower doesn't allow water to drain properly, so it simply sits in the tub. A floor mat should be on the floors to prevent slipping and overall cleaning of the bathrooms should be done more than twice a day. The room itself was clean, so that was nice. The location of the hostel is ideal, with a subway station 3 blocks away.

The hotel could really use some updates. The stairs up to the rooms are not even or even level. There are no garbage cans anywhere in the hotel. The bathrooms are scary, they seem clean but have not been well maintained so their is water on the floor from other guests. It is NYC so for the price I guess it is what you expect.

Personally, i did not know what to expect after reading past reviews about Hotel Lollipop online, However, it turned out to be a refreshing surprise. The location was tricky at first, but once learned it turned out to be very simple. All in all, this hotel is a safe place to stay, and you can meet interesting people from all over the world. But this is not a 4 star hotel so expect minor inconviences such as poor air conditioning, a warm mini fridge in the lounge area, and waiting lines for the bathroom in the morning. BUT, i stress these are very minor issues. If you need a safe place to get a little sleep after exploring the city, the Lollipop is it.

its not the perfect hostel.. but still a decent one for new york due to the location/price. My room didnt have an outlet for the laptop what pissed me off. I would like to come here and say a lot of bad things about it, but its just a hostel.. hehe i was not really expecting room service or a huge bathroom [what by the way was the smallest bathroom i have ever been.

I had low expectations when I arrived, but by the end of my 4 night stay, I was satisfied with the experience. I dormed with 3 other people, but luckily for me, they were all great people. The bathroom was in pretty clean and working condition, aside from the toilet. I didn't see any rodents, or roaches, which is a plus. But it would've been nice if the room had a TV or at least a radio. There are hardly any amenities at all, but considering the cheap price, it is worth it.
