    Good view from the top floors, quiet, friendly staff.

    The location is honestly in a sketchy area, which I did not expect from the reviews so beware. We had a mini fridge in our room, but it barely got our waters to below room temperature. The "blankets" on the bed were two paper-thin sheets. The shower is also visible to the whole room, so not a whole lot of privacy there. Check in is at 3pm, with no exceptions, but they will hold your luggage for you.

    The hotel was extremely close to the MTA Line 1 subway, which was definitely convenient. There's a Target also within walking distance for any last minute grocery items you need. The room was clean and the staff were nice. The price was also reasonable for NYC, and the interior of the hotel is decorated very nicely.

    Lack of noise insulation from hallway

    Great value, room was good for 1 person may be tight with 2 people. Comfortable and clean. Some noise from people walking by on hallway. Fabulous breakfast. Had an issue with the desk light - have a staff member attend with straight away.

    The area is neither the nicest, nor the safest. We were a family and were always together, but for a smaller group or girls traveling by themselves, a complete no no. Honestly, I was surprised to find such a nice hotel in such a shady neighbourhood. There is also a lack of storage, we had to store our luggage under the beds, which was a bit dusty.

    The hotel itself is very nice, clean, it has coffee at the reception, nicely decorated. The cleaning ladies are doing a very good job, they cleaned daily and tried to keep the room as tidy as possible. They accepted to store our luggage on the day we left, after we checked out, as we had a late flight. And we appreciated that. There is a restaurant close to the reception area, they have also the breakfast option, but we found it a bit overpriced. Close to the subway. Also close to several bakeries and supermarkets.

    The hotel is located quite far north of Manhattan Island. However, there is a subway station close-by, which allows you to reach the city relatively quickly.

    A very nice hotel in Manhattan with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and a modern interior!

    Rooms are a bit dusty (may have been to do with the fan systems). The area had some dodgy people around outside.

    There was no cooker for water but we get hot water by the reception. Sometimes there comes a bit cold air from the window in the night.

    The bed was very comfortable. We loved the view out of the 10th floor. The area is sometimes a bit sketchy but it’s Upper Manhattan and you need just a few streets or stations for having a great atmosphere.

    The breakfast didn't have other meat options But there were restaurants nearby

    My last day, I had breakfast at Jalao. My main issue was there was only pork to choose from. I don't eat pork so I didn't have many filling options. The room was gorgeous. I describe it as an upscale dorm room.

    Room was dirty with medication and ash from a previous guest. This was sorted as soon as I reported it. I am not keen on the fashion for having the shower in glass boxes in the room. It limits sharing possibilities!

    Comfortable bed. Powerful shower.

    the location is VERY intimidating. The train is about a 8 minute walk and LORD did we see some situations while walking to the train. There was druggies and a man that had his whole face BEAT and bloody. Just be careful when walking.

    The people were nice, check in was good. Hotel restaurant is good as well. Rooms have no microwave and the minifridge didn't work, they said they would fix it, but it never got fixed.

    The hotel was very well kept and aesthetically pleasing. The atmosphere was very bright and colorful and the staff did a great job with theming the space for the holidays. The room itself was smaller than expected but fulfilled every need and was well laid out. The window facing the city was amazing and made for unforgettable views at every point of the day.

    Hotel location means an average 40 minute commute by subway to the main attractions (but you have a subway station very close to the hotel. We would still choose comfort over centrality any day!). A smaller detail but the coffee of the "Grab and Go" near the frontdesk was not so great (watery and not hot enough).

    Absolutely loved the smart space saving, industrial-scandinavian design of the room which also included a really nice private hot shower. I personally love no carpet floors on hotels as it feels more hygienic and hypoallergenic. The hotel also provided free wifi, 24h reception, gym, restaurant and a bar. The price/quality you get is very affordable when compared with hotels closer to the main attractions. There's a really cool Dominican/NY vibe not very often seen which added a lot of character to the hotel.

    The only thing my sister and I would have liked in the room would be a coffee maker of some sort, but at least the option of purchasing coffee at the front desk worked as a backup for our early morning coffee. I noticed the rates double in the spring and summer, so it may not be affordable for me then.

    The location was very convenient for me to visit my family and to get to other places in the city by train or bus.The rooms were so modern and clean. The beds were very comfortable and nice bathroom and shower. The staff greeting you at the door and front desk were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely make that my place to stay when I visit NY(which is frequently).
