I love the location because it’s to close of Times Square

Ana United States of America

I had an amazing view overlooking the Empire State building. I loved how they offer free walk-tours, such a fun way to meet new people and explore the city!

Andreana Netherlands

it’s really good. the staff is kind and the view is awesome

Shuya Taiwan

Excellent location. NYC is about the subway and this hotel is a 4minute walk to the Port Authority which has very good subway connections. LGA is one subway ride away and a short connection via bus. Downtown and uptown is a short ride away on major subway lines. Time square, rockefeller center, and broadway shows are an easy walk. Not a ton of good restraunts in the immediate area but you can walk and explore to find some.

Charles United States of America

this shower was hands down my favorite hotel shower ever. I hate taking showers away from home. I’m not sure why - but this shower was hot and clean and roomy! pressure could have been better - but then it would have ruined all other shower experiences for me. I lived the dimming lights in the room, the automatic night lights in the bathroom, the charging stations in the bunk area, I could go on and on. hands down the cutest and best hotel room I’ve ever stayed in - but I am a minimalist and this hotel seems like it was designed for me!

Jodie United States of America

Very well thought out rooms. I love a wall of hooks - drives me crazy more hotels and rentals don't have more hooks to hang towels and coats. Beds comfortable. Plenty of staff. Thankful for your baggage room and attendant too.

Cathy United States of America

This is an ideal location, safe & easy access to public transport

Mercedes United States of America

Clean place with a great location in Manhattan. Great restaurants are all around the hotel. Times Square and Central Park are close by.

Mahdi United States of America

The location was perfect. It was a comfortable room. Reception upgraded me, which was a pleasant surprise.

Cornelis Kenya

The location is excellent, everything is clean and provided wifi is strong enough to enable videocalling to Europe without issues. People are friendly.
