What guests think

At Haiban Inn, travelers highlight a convenient location near Journal Square PATH and plentiful nearby dining, but report mixed experiences with room condition and cleanliness, including dated areas and maintenance issues alongside some renovated, comfortable spaces.

Facilities are basic, with recurring gaps such as missing TVs in some rooms, inconsistent Wi-Fi or hot water, and no on-site parking. Service feels mixed, ranging from friendly, efficient check-ins to rude or unhelpful exchanges, and noise from thin walls and the surrounding streets is mentioned. Expect a no-frills stay where location matters more than amenities.

The room seemed clean when we got there. Water took a long time to heat up but did eventually come. Loud area at night and was impossible to find parking and had to park almost 10 minutes away in a garage. Staff seemed friendly. Honestly not to bad for a budget option.

Stayed one night at Haiban Inn and had a good experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk to the Journal Square PATH station, and surrounded by great Indian restaurants. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a quick overnight stay—microwave, mini fridge, and decent Wi-Fi. Check-in was smooth and the staff was friendly and helpful. There’s no private parking, but I was able to get a street parking, which made overnight parking easy and affordable—no issues finding a spot nearby especially late night. It’s not fancy, but for the price and location, it’s a solid choice. I’d definitely consider staying here again for a short trip or transit stop.

When arriving I needed to run to use the restroom. When ask hotel clerk if where is the bathroom? He answered we have none even though a door with big letters said bathroom. I had hold it until check in was completed. When entering the room closet door was on the floor & no TV. I have never ben in a situation like this. I should be refunded…

The intrance was in an ally hidden. They tried doing upgrades but looks sloppily done. Also no parking anywhere. You have to find street parking. For me that was 4 blocks away. I will give 3 stars because it looks like there trying.

Checked in at 3pm and allocated a room that when I got to it hadn’t been cleaned. Allocated another room which could have done with a proper deep clean throughout. The premises is generally dilapidated and needs deep cleaned, painted and carpets renewed just for a start. The bed was fairly comfy but only had one sheet covering the mattress and no matress protector. One positive was the WiFi and single USB point. At $270 for two nights it’s very expensive for what it is

Better then sleeping in the truck, but common, entrance to this place was like a back of a building storage room entrance, everything old, dirty and outdated. Bed lookeded clean but sheets didn’t smell fresh. Wouldn't recommend unless this is the last hotel option you have. And even then consider something else.

For what I paid, overall it was worth stating here. The bed was huge and comfy. The room was clean. The hotel did smell of cigarette smoke in the hallways, but not my room. Everyone on the front desk were very friendly and always helpful. This is a simple hotel so if you’re after luxury, this is not for you. My room had a small fridge which did come in handy.

In general, this was an enjoyable stay at the Haiban inn. Our deluxe room was super clean and looked new, which was a pleasant surprise. However, most of the staff was very cold and unfriendly with us through our stay. The main good point about this place is the proximity to the PATH train which allowed us to reach manhattan in less than 30 min at any hour. In general, we recommend this hotel and enjoyed our stay.

Rooms are hurrible, there was no electricity in the room when i arrived. In short, there has to be some basic hotel standard for a historic city like New York. Looked like a third world country hotel or worse. Would not recommend to anyone unless a serious renovation is carried out.
