Hotel 91  

Hidden away on the Lower East Side it gives walking access to China Town, Canal Street.. the Bowery and all those great old red tenement buildings with fire escapes on the front synonymous with New York City. The subway is very close by to get yourself up to Times Sq and Central Park. The hotel sits very close to the Manhattan Bridge so you can watch the traffic wizz by the window including the trains.. but its very quiet considering its so close... the double glazing works.. Everything is very clean including the long hall way to the elevator that takes you to reception. Bathrooms are clean and easy to move around and the beds very comfortable. For the price its exceedingly good value. I've stayed before and I'll certainly be going back again.... Ohh you can also leave your luggage for the day at $2 a bag...

Near to the subway station and to the us bureaus.

Too noisy location

The smell from the restaurants around the hotel!

Excelent location and easy acess to subway and lower manhathan. Big renovated rooms.

The rooms facing the manhathan bridge can be very noisy. Ask for the ones facing the street

Price Location near subWay

First receptionist was unhelpful and refused to give password for wifi, Ethernet cord could also not be found so had to change rooms. Generally unfriendly service. Located next to subway line and walls thin so quite noisy at night at all hours Generally clean and comfortable

Hotel 91 represents excellent value for money, and is around 20mins to central NY on the subway. We stayed for 4 nights and were pleased with the hotel overall! It works out at around $150 a night, which is good value for money, as the beds are very comfortable, the hotel staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. Bear in mind though that is excluding taxes, which are added to your bill. The lobby area on level 1 is lovely, with sofas, free tea/coffee and a flat screen TV. The rooms were clean, with satellite tv, the shower was lovely - there were 3 of us girls to a room, getting ready etc, and the water never ran cold! We booked two taxi's though the hotel and they arrived on time, and were impressed by the reliable service! Thanks again Hotel 91! :)

The street it's located on is a bit smelly - this is down to the rubbish dumped on the sidewalk each night, so not very pleasant! Also, we were told by the hotel that Canal Street is the nearest subway, but pay attention to where you are, as after 2 days, we realised there are 4 subway stops for Canal Street, as it is such a long road and depends what letter tube you get! Just head to the East Broadway stop!

Spacious room, and spacious bathroom, in New York standard of course. Good value for city travelers. Location is convenient but not ideal -- in a Fujianese part of China Town. As travelers from China, we did not intend to stay in China Town, but since it was called Lower East, it did not occur to us that it was an extension of China Town when booked. Travelers from China who do not speak much English might find it convenient to stay in this area. Room was very warm.

No window in our room. Since the hotel is a slice of the building, I'd say quite many rooms had no windows. Only Chinese shops in the neighbourhood, so if you feel like a beer or some snacks late in the night, you couldn't find a convenient store close by. The vending machine in the hotel had only soft drinks.

Very clean rooms.

The hotel is right next to the Manhattan Bridge, so the trains passing by are very loud. Also, some of the male front desk staff are very grumpy. The hotel is smack dab in the middle of Chinatown, which is interesting.

The staff was friendly and the price moderate.

The wlan didn't work in the rooms but only in the lobby. Our room had the view of the manhattan bridge meaning it was just 10 metres away from the cars and the subway crossing the bridge. The rooms are modestly equipped with one hanger and two tiny towels. Regarding the location the hotel is right in Chinatown, 5 minutes walk to the next metro station East Broadway.

No parking

Ease of access to subway, 10 min walk.

The rooms are reasonably spacious by NY standards, clean and tidy. There is a subway station in near-by proximity.

Located right next to an above-ground subway line - trains make noise around the clock. Room doors are paper-thin - noise from outside is complimented with noise from inside. Uncomfortable bed mattresses, thin and hard pillows. No breakfast servrice. Inconsistent TV set operation (goes on and off). Unfiendly, arrogant and non-cooperative staff. They don't want to help you resolve your issues but they do charge you for temporary luggage storage!!! Think twice and then rethink again befor you book a room in Hotel 91.

They design was great for the price. Above and beyond what would be expected in that price range.
