The staff was really nice to us, letting us check-in before the time we were supposed to. The hotel building and spaces look old, but everything was organized. The room was all set and clean for us. We didn’t have any problem for a short stay.

Definitely can tell that the facility can use some updated equipment. I understand that it is a budget hotel but there were some concerns I had regarding electrical junction boxes in my room that were coming out of the walls and made charging things a tricky endeavor. Also the bathroom I used on the third floor seems to have a pretty severe leak they need to address soon.

Quirky and unique location to post up for a few days while in the city. The hotel lives up to its artsy reputation and was a real trip to experience the hallways. Oh, and the lobby cat is the real star of the show here. The guy who checked me in was super laid back and let me choose my own room out of 5 available choices.

The hotel is really old and it shows, it is a bit dated. There is no ensuite you have to share the toilet or shower. This didn't bother me but it might others.

Good location near restaurants, bars and tourist attractions i.e. Lexington Iron Building, Madison Square Park and within a walk of 30 minutes to other great tourist spots. The hotel has its own water fountain which is handy to fill up your water bottle. Had a small room where you could make your tea or coffee. Price is reasonable for New York and its location. There is a lovely black cat that you can find anywhere in the hotel. The beds were comfortable and the hotel was cleaned daily.

Location, and the cat they had!

Staff guys were all in a good mood and especially helpful. Free coffee every morning made my day(s)!

The heating system didn't always work properly but the staff was happy to help.

Great position and friendly stuff! The hotel is a bit old but great value, I would go again!

It’s old and in need of renovation. Cleanliness of the beds and bath were fine, but the walls (painted with all kinds of art) have not been maintained properly. Also the stairs were a bit tricky to navigate.

Good location, quirky design and decor. Lots of…character.

Not so much. All the staff members werent equally friendly but basically they did their job. Maybe only one toilet per floor isnt really enough but we managed.

Great value for the price. Compfy bed in a pretty clean room. Perfect location no so far from East Village and 30 minutes walk from West Village.

More than one shared bathroom on the same floor would've been good but only a slight criticism. Glad we didn't have a room any higher as carrying suitcases up the tight staircase was a struggle.

Quirky and different - very cool and unusual decor throughout. Loved the location - plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants nearby and also handy for public transport. Room was basic but bed and pillows were really comfortable.

Nice place,nice price, not bad location. Very friendly staff.

The room was small and the bed was too close to the heater so I kept stubbing my toe on it.

The cat was very cute and I loved the painted walls.

Clanging pipes 3 to 4 times a night (wasn't winter) narrow, steep stairwell. Barely warm water for shower and no shelf or sink in bathroom. Ok if willing to live out of suitcase.

Beds/pillows were memory foam and very comfortable. It was reasonably priced and in good area. Gave us spare room to use as our shower tap handle was broken and assisted with luggage. It was clean and served our purpose.

Brilliant location for a hotel with great character. The staff were brilliant and so welcoming. The room had a comfortable bed and intriguing art. Loved the common room with books and coffee! Wish we had stayed longer.

Locks on door to room are pitiful. We locked our door and when we came back the door was open. Lucky nothing was stolen but it shook us up. Please replace your 30 year old locks with newer, sturdier deadbolt locks.

Location and staff were great. Very nice and friendly. Do not book if you’re a hotel snob-this isn’t a Hilton. It’s a room with a bed and a bathroom.

The hotel is a very peculiar place, perfect if you want to stay in an artistic environment! The location is great, five minutes from the Flatiron Building
