It’s like you’re sleeping in the open with noise coming from all over the place

1.0

Super convenient. You can’t find a better place for that price. Right next to the Central Park at downtown Manhattan.

Property is super old. I don’t care about the size of the room, but it’s super loud the fan, the air exchanger or stuff like that. I have no clue, but it’s been really loud and I turn off the light and the corridor light shines into the room brightly. Anybody who walks and talks it’s just pouring into the room. There is no insulation. If you are a light sleeper like me, you basically don’t sleep at all. I’m OK with the shared facility for washing and bathroom and shower. I’m OK with them being bare minimum messy and don’t even have the basic toilet covering or functioning sink, But the amount of noise is really killing me. Don’t come if you need to sleep. You better sleep on the street. Street is probably better without Echo.

Good.

5.0

The ambience of the accommodation was excellent. People from all over, all ages, etc.

The beds were a bit uncomfortable to access. Difficult to get to the upper berth.

Excellent stay and facilities

9.0

Great location right next to Central Park and great facilities. Always enjoy staying here. As a musician who can practice in the park and work out in the gym it’s perfect. Great stay.
