This was the tiniest room I have ever slept in. For two people, it's claustrophobic. I am not so picky, but this was borderline. If there is anything else you can go - don't book a room in the "Sun Bright Hotel".

at the first sight, it's very dirty in the bathroom but in fact it are the people just before you who left some crap. our bed was very small and broke in the middle to my friend was very close to me. there is no tv channels unless 3 or 4 which suck. however it is a good hotel because of the location ( there are the yellow subway and the green very near ), the security is a little bit old but it seems to works. moreover its price is very cheap for an hotel in NYC and it makes felle good to the purse. it's a good hotel when you are young (under 25) or when you do not have much money. we just slept and put our stuff in the room, we took a shower in the morning and were coming back at night.

When we arrive at the sun bright hotel, the attendant told to us they don't have a room with three single beds. We were very upset, because we were tired and we wanted for a shower and bed. So, we stay on the looby until they have solved our problem, in 10 minutes. The attendand told us that the manager have one room with four single beds in World hotel, just half block away. We take that room, paying the same price and WE LOVE THAT HOTEL. We stay on Chinatown and if you are looking for a good shopping, food and different cultures, that is what you looking for!!

Room was small but clean. Couple of blocks away from a subway station.

Ok, well to be honest about the hotel i would have to say that it does have a great location and the price is reasonable. Security was good, as you needed to be buzzed through the door to reach your room and there was a chain on each door. Additionally there was a television with HBO, although not many other channels. I Highly!!! recommend bringing your own sheets, pillow case, towel and sandels for the shower!! cleanliness was not acceptable. Actually it was worse than any hotel i have ever been too. The sheets were covered with dirt, and hair and i found a match on it, suggesting they were not changed. And the blankets were stained. so if you bring your own linens you will be ok. Walls are extremely thin, and there were no windows in the room.

The Sun Bright was overbooked and unable to honor our reservation. The desk staff was very helpful and informative, if not entirely apologetic, and sent us over to their sister property across the street, the Windsor Hotel. The Windsor was great. I get the feeling it's in a slightly higher bracket than the Sun Bright, but this is only conjecture since I never made it past the front desk. Nice people, poor infrastructure.

Ridiculously tiny room, but in a good area for access to the city. A good hostel if you intend to literally use your room for storage and crashing in, nothing more! Not even a mirror or window to be had!

The better way to describe the Sun Bright Hotel is as a madhouse.
Placed in Chinatown, more than 2 dozens of tiny narrow steps will welcome you into a little hall where communication with the staff at the main desk will be somewhat impossible.
After doing your best at understanding (and at trying to be understood), you'll be provided with a 40 squared feet cell with no windows and no wardrobes, walls painted in pastel tones, a TV with two towels and two wash clothes on, a fan, a little sink that will only pour cold water, two mirrors, some sort of rusty old rack with a wicker tray on top, containing 2 toothbrush, 2 soap bars, 2 little Colgate tubes and half of a toilet paper roll, and a 6-feet long bed for two with only the bottom sheet plus a extremely stained eiderdown (hope you haven't seen certain episodes of CSI) and a flannel dusty blanket.
But the fun is still to arrive.
Let me lead you to the bathrooms: 3 unisex bathrooms in a floor with 32 double rooms. That means 64 people, which means 21 per bathroom. And if you haven't had enough wait till the night falls.
Now you'll enjoy... and I'm not kiddin'.
After all, paper-thin walls ensure strong bonds with your neighbors and complete fun after midnight: copulating couples (plus the certainty you'll be heard too in case you decide to have sex with your partner), whatever music that other guests are hearing elsewhere… one of those guests who gets angry because he thinks the music in one of the rooms is too loud and goes and slams on the door… the girl inside (who is drunk as hell and was also copulating) gets out of her room and yells something incomprehensible about something occurred at 6 am that previous morning plus the respective complaint in regards of the interrupted coitus… the receptionist who comes to try to calm things down… the girl who also yells at him… doors that are slammed shut…
A little calm after the storm, the perfect moment to sit down and realize that is 2 something after midnight, that you wanna wake up kind of early in the morning to enjoy the Big Apple… that your neighbors are holding a quiet marital dispute… but not quite enough so that you can't avoid hearing them and finally have some sleep.
Providentially, by the time they’ve finished complaining about the in-laws, the kids, their sexual life or whatsoever the heck they’ve been talking about, it is time to fall asleep under the not so annoying (not after all what’s happened!) murmur of the water running while somebody showers.
Only three or four hours later a deep hum, like a construction noise, makes the walls tremble – and so does my head too. There seem to be races across the hallway, and someone (or a few someones) seems to be whacking the walls, which makes the doors quake. Conversations are held out loud and either the room has become a sauna or you’re freezing as a product of having gone to bed naked, once you thought you’d learned from the previous morning hot experience. Chinatown’s life also says hello from the streets, and you wake up, get out of the room looking for a bathroom with this “I-didn’t-get-enough-sleep” face to find out that is all covered in dirt and wet towels of the several showers that seem have had placed during the whole night.
Only fifteen minutes before leaving the building forever you feel lucky that, at least, you didn’t meet any bug.
Ten minutes before, you run away, seized by the terror that a little unidentified arthropod sneaking on the wall by the bed awakes on you.
