Slept so well

It was a lovely stay. The room was small but the bed was super comfortable and huge! Easy to get out and walk and there is a cafe downstairs.

10/10 Exceptional

Super comfy king bed

Loved the layout of the room. Had a small separate living area from our bedroom. King bed was super comfortable.
Vanessa, 1-night trip

Kirsten, 2-night trip

It was clean and relatively nice.

10/10 Exceptional

Great for no frills with beautiful room.

Everything was excellent, but it’s very no frills. No amenities apart from a small roof terrace. We were barely there, and the time we did spend was very good because the room was so nice. Small, but very nice.
Brandon, 2-night trip

Satisfied! Would stay again

Perfect for our one night stay, our room was very quiet you would have no idea you’re in NYC.

4/10 Fair

Disappointed Stay

The water pressure in our room was horrible, I complained about three times and nothing was done. Our refrigerator made a lot of noise. I come to NYC twice a year for business and I can in advance and request a room that I have stayed in before that was decent but they didn't accommodate. I stay at the hotel for the location only. Also, the rooms don't have enough outlets for today's day and age when we have to charge our devices, etc... The outlets that do exist are occupied with the lighting in the rooms.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was in a very central spot and very near to the Empire State Building - ideal for the metro connections and for visiting all areas of manhattan. The hotel was Modern and the room had the biggest and comfiest bed ( the rooms were cleaned daily) the shower was large and the room was lovely.
Cemaliye, 6-night trip

Mixed Review - emails not answered

The first night was not great, the smoke detector emitted a high pitched noise every 20 seconds through the night, disturbing our sleep. Unfortunately there were no other rooms for us to be put in for the night and I have tried to get a refund for that night however, my emails are not being answered. The rest of the stay was decent, once the smoke detector battery had been fixed. The staff were friendly however, only the general manager could issue my refund and she is not replying back to me.

kaitlyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy walk to shops and stores as well as the train station. It’s close to Korean town but not directly in it. I’d stay here again.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I’m a tea person and drink tea day and night, so when I found out there is no tea kettle I panicked, fortunately when I went to front desk the staff promptly said they could provide one and delivered to my room within minutes. The service and the tea kettle made the staying an enjoyable experience.
