Canal Loft Hostel & Hotel is a lodging property with guest rooms, located in the middle of New York's Chinatown near a subway station. Rates are relatively low compared with New York's high accommodation costs, and nearby restaurants are also inexpensive. Noise from Chinatown starts early in the morning and carries into rooms with weak soundproofing. Cleaning and bedding conditions are inconsistent, so cleanliness stays at a basic level.
