Set in New York, 1.2 km from National September 11 Memorial & Museum, Artezen Hotel has a fitness centre and rooms with free WiFi access. Located around 1.4 km from One World Trade Center, the hotel is also 1.6 km away from Brooklyn Bridge. The property is located in the Wall Street - Financial District and Bloomingdale's is 2.3 km away.

What a gem! I am so happy that we booked this hotel for 3 nights and we would definitely stay there again. The location is just perfect, Fulton subway is right there, Wall Street is just around the corner and you can see One World Trade Center on your left from outside the hotel. The room was big and had a beautiful decor. It was spotless clean when we got there and they fixed our room perfectly every day. The staff is very kind and super helpful, we couldn't feel more welcome during our stay. We did not have time to try the gym but saw it and it was a nice space to train with all you need, like a mini gym. There was no restaurant nor breakfast but there are plenty of places right on the street for coffee and food and it's more fun to go out in NY! Nevertheless there is a Nespresso coffee machine in the room and a water boiler so you can have tea or coffee in your room anytime. There is also a little supermarket right in front of the hotel which is great to buy snacks, etc. We stayed some nights before in Midtown but I liked it way more the downtown area and this hotel. It's better to stay there and take the subway to Midtown. We also went for nice walks to Soho, West Village, Chinatown and Little Italy. It was great value for the money and I highly recommend this hotel!

The rooms are very compact, but still quite practical. For NYC, this is great value.

    This property is EXACTLY what a budget traveler needs it to be - a VERY good bed in a clean room. No more. No less. The property is very clean. The bathrooms and shower (shared) were SMALL but clean and acceptable. The staff was great. And of course, its hard to beat the location for that price. But if you are expecting anything extra, you'll be disappointed. For the budget traveler, it was great. I'd gladly stay there again.

    I absolutely adored how the room was setup! Amazing use of a small space that didn’t feel small. Very clean, modern, trendy and comfortable! Perfect location. Loved the $30 credit to use every day. I was able to get breakfast and lunch to go from the next door cafe and that made my stay even cheaper. Felt very safe. Hotel staff very accommodating for an early checkin (5am when my flight landed) and this was for a reasonable fee. Would recommend to family and friends for sure!
