    The Concierge was very helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the room was so clean. I loved the refillable water bottles and the coupons for free coffee. It was a beautiful hotel and we will definitely be back!

    Very soft mattress, although the very nice staff placed a plank below the mattress to help stiffness, it didn’t help much though.

    Clean, central, historical

    there is nothing we did not like. It was as expected. everything was ok. thanks to the people, running this business. It was a little Vienna.

    location perfect! breakfast, no need! the voutcher was a nice gift, but the coffee you get is not good! Room was small but that's enough if you just want to visit a city, no need to stay long in the room, just for sleeping it is ok!

    There isn’t much not to like. It does seem like it’s a hotel in transition as the restaurants weren’t really up and running.

    The hotel is in a great location and the room was very clean. We enjoyed having daily housekeeping. And the room was a great size for NYC.

    the bell boy was rude at night: one night returning late after the Opera, well dressed with my daughters he shouted through the glass door that we should open the door with our room key, instead of opening the door for us. Other nifght returning with lots of shopping bags, he did the same scene. The bathtub was not deeply cleaned every day.

    Super location half block from the 5th ave, historical building, early check in at 1:00 PM upon availability. Room deco was very clean and stylish. Spotless clean! Super near to bus and metro stations.

    Although there is free coffee provided each day from the barista downstairs, I prefer it first thing in the morning and would have liked a coffee maker in the room. Also the elevator is very small.

    The room exceeded expectations. It was large for a NY hotel room and very clean. Definitely better than the pictures. Cleaning service was provided everyday. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is only a couple of blocks from the subway with lots of breakfast, pastry, and Korean restaurants nearby.

    There is no coffeemaker in room and the coffee bar downstairs is overpriced even for Manhattan.

    Great location and a surprisingly spacious room for Manhattan. The down side was that I had effectively no view - looking over a well-like fire escape meant no daylight in the room The bed was very comfortable

    The hotel was the perfect location for me and my friends. It was very accessible to the subway , the bus terminal and the famous sights like the Empire State and Times Square and shopping areas, Macy's was a few blocks and there is a Nordstrom outlet at the corner. The surrounding area was bustling but the hotel was located in a very quiet street. There was luggage storage across the hotel which was very convenient when we spent a weekend in Boston.

    Airconditioning worked well but was very loud, it was quite expensive for a week's stay but so is everything in New York.

    Great location, lovely staff, free coffee/tea in the morning, comfortable bed, good wifi, gym had everything you need for a short visit. It was good value for money.

    The airco is very noisy, and our window was one giving on fire stairs with other airco machines… so it was not a nice or silent view. The bed was a bit soft for me. Don’t order a taxi at reception, it seems the company they use has a very own perception of time: after waiting 40 minutes for a taxi supposedly arriving in 15 minutes, we had to jump in an Uber to make sure we catch our flight.

    The room was spacious, nicely designed and kept spotless clean during our stay. Fridge, kettle, steamer were made placed in the room immediately upon our request. Overall, the hotel is nice and the staff is kind, and the little bar on the ground level is handy, pending you have time to wait for it as service is a bit slow.

    We had 2 rooms. One room was notably better than the other. The King with futon/couch was facing a brick wall and therefore dark and had a smaller tv and bathroom than the regular King room. The regular King room was perfect.

    Staff was extremely helpful and personable. Location was great. Rooms were spotless and new. While there is no restaraunt at the hotel, there is a small cafe in the morning for coffee and muffins/danishes. Plenty of places close by to eat.
