I love the location and the price was wonderful if you are person who does not need all those extra perks I would recommend it..This will be my new place to stay

Adrena, United States of America

Staff Was very helpfully and heip my daughter how to use the subway in the area and restaurant

Emilio, United States of America

The employees that work there are excellent. They were extremely nice with us. The hotel is very clean and the price was very good. We were walking distance to many places in Manhattan.

Edgardo, Puerto Rico

Excellent location, 2 mins from Tube station (express) and 3 stops from Time Square by Express red subway. Very clean. fresh towels every day. 10 mins walk from Central Park.

Philippe, United Kingdom

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Adored the owner who went above and beyond to make sure our visit was as pleasant as possible. We had a room with a bath that was charming and comfortable. Definitely would stay here again. Great room for the price in an upper west side neighborhood.

Mary, United States of America

Small room for a great price. Had no issues. People who complain are ignorant. Its a hostel not a 5 star hotel. Dont be ignorant and fight with staff!

Johnithan, United States of America

The colors of the place and the cleanliness are outstanding. The staff is very friendly. Frank at the reception made sure my checkin and checkout goes smoothly and He was very helpful. He told me about restaurants,bars and other important places in the neighbourhood. This hotel has a wonderful old money upper westside feeling. It is sooo amazing to check in a hotel that is not cold and ultramodel but old fashioned and devorared with homey colors. I believe a lot of visitors who visit New York City and prefer to stay on uws rather than on midtown do so to feel the upper westside vibe.

Julia, United States of America

I enjoyed my stay ...everything at the hotel was good ....the staff was friendly especially Frank and Denise

Nehal, Egypt

Great choice for the price. Staff was very accommodating. I arrived super-early and was allowed to occupy my reserved room 4 hours ahead of check-in time!

Raquel, Puerto Rico

Very clean and friendly front desk staff were lovely.

“WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!”
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉THE ROOM 32H, THE LOCATION OF THIS ROOM WAS VERY UNPLEASANT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO REST BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE PERSON COMING IN AND OUT WAS SLAMING THE DOOR. IT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND IRRITABLE. THIS ROOM SHOULD NOT BE RENTED OUT! MY WIFE HAD HER MENSTRAL CYCLE, THE FIRST DAY SHE STAINED THE BED, WE MENTIONED THIS TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE AND WE NEVER RECEIVED NEW SHEETS OR ATTENTION EVER GIVEN TO US. IN THE ADVERTISEMENT, IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT THE BATHROOM IS SHARED WITH OTHER ROOMS. NON OF MY CONCERNS WERE EVER ADDRESSED, AND NO ATTENTION WAS EVER GIVEN TO ME FOR ANY OF MY REQUESTS. I TRAVEL A LOT AND HAVE BEEN IN MANY PLACES, EVEN IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES MY EXPERIENCE HAD NEVER BEEN THIS BAD! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE EVER!!!
눇ONLY ONE EMPLOYEE HELPED ME. I DID NOT HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE OTHERWISE!!

“"Royal" my Ass!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉Shared bathroom was small with just one short towel bar to hang clothes and towel on. There were no bath mats so the floor always had puddles and there were no hand towels, paper towels or hand dryer so you couldn't dry your hands. Lots of little bugs crawled across the floor and into the cracks every time you turned on the bathroom light. Air conditioner in the room was extremely loud and didn't put out much cold air. This is the worst hotel experience I have ever had.
눇It was one block from a subway station.

“Nice small hotel in Manhattan upper west Central Park”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The hotel installations are a bit old. The entrance to the hotel is a bit inconvenient if you have a stroller and lots of luggage like we had, as there is no ramp and had to carry the stroller through steps-door-steps-door (there is no concierge to open the door (in not complaining, just the fact. I dint't mind)
눇Staff is friendly. The room is clean and close to Central Park. The subway is just half block. There are some restaurants, dinners, Starbucks, MacDonalds, pharmacy and supermarket around, super convenient!!

눉The rooms were very small, barely had room to walk around the bed once we had put our suitcases down. However, the bed was comfortable.
눇The staff were very friendly and available 24 hours which was helpful. The rooms were cleaned and fresh towels were provided everyday if you wanted them.

“I will spend the extra money for somewhere else next time.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double Room with Two Double Beds and Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The lamps and lights were operated by extension cords from other rooms and from the floor. None of our lamps worked and many of our receptacles were loose, therefore our plugs would fall out of them. We had to prop them up with shoes, or whatever we could use to encourage them to stay inside the recepticle. There was food left inside the mini fridge in our room and it was not plugged in (probably because the people before us were also trying to find a source that worked), and the smell was horrible. It was hot and the small window unit did not cool the room well.
