The room was really cute and had a unique design, I like small spaces. Also, it was economical. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were very clean. We didn't try the restaurant/bar, but it looked nice. The vicinity to Grand Central Station was great.

Audrey

United States of America

Great location away from the craze of midtown / Times Square. Short walk to Grand Central & subway for access to the rest of the city. Staff was friendly, approachable, and super accommodating. Loved the bar & restaurant downstairs. Can't wait to check out the rooftop bar next time!

Reasonable price. Very modern and clean facilities.

The rooms are small, but they are exactly what you need. In NYC, if you use your room to do more than sleep, you’re not enjoying the city properly. The beds are SO comfortable, and the rooms are exceptionally clean. They suit the purpose of a place to sleep perfectly.

Design of the room, design of downstairs coffee place/game room, young/creative ethos, Joel from breakfast. (He was on coffee duty and was a pleasure to meet and talk to).

The check in process was quick and efficient. The concierge was extremely helpful when coordinating my commute to and from the airport. The staff were super friendly and they all seemed to really like their job.

Well, it’s really clean. The staff are cooperative and friendly. The location is awesome; the neighborhood is sociable and safe.

High end hostel-type hotel. Cool lobby and bar. I booked a single pod. Very small but somehow cozier than the pictures, especially with the dimmers. Could charge my phone whilst in bed. Clean bathroom with good water pressure. Heard ppl from the hallway but not room to room. Very quiet. Low traffic street.

There was a rooftop terrace but when we tried to use it, it was locked down. Having a bathroom wall made of glass definitely won't work for most people, but it was fine for my husband and me. Had to wait a long time to be checked in, but that was due to a computer malfunction.

Something VERY WIERD happened at the reception. We bought baby clothes in Brazil and sent to the hotel. Next day, I went to the reception to get my package and they said that it wasn't on the basement, although on FedEx website it was said the package had been delivered. I started to insist, and the employees were rude to me. Out of nowhere, they started to say that I've already got my package the day before with "my friend" - I was alone and had no friends with me. After the 3rd or 4rd time the employee went to the deposit and "found"my package. He said that my last name was torn apart, so he couldn't identify it. Very very wierd, I think they were trying to steal my package.
This hotel is great. Warm shower, good amenities - shampoo, hair conditioner and liquid soap. It was the first time I found a good hairdryer in a hotel room. Linen/bed sheets and towels were very clean and smelled good. Awesome location, near the Grand Central Terminal, Chrysler Building, Bryant Park, NY Public Library etc. Great value for money.

First room was a little dingy, and had an obnoxious odor of something like Axe body spray / a middle school locker room! Went down to the desk and asked for a room change; the guys at the front desk completely understood and handled it immediately. Second room was brighter, laid out more efficiently, definitely cleaner, and had no odor. Safe door didn't close in the second room; reported it to the desk and I'm pretty sure they had it checkout out. But it was a short trip and I didn't end up needing to use it.

“Lovely modern (compact and bijoux) rooms and I would happily stay again”

No bedhead so my pillow kept sliding off the bed, but hardly the end of the world, and thats about it! The bar on the ground floor is very buzzy and loud (but thats probably because Im getting a bit old....) and it didnt disturb me in my room at all.
Second time staying here and, as long as the price is reasonable, it will be one of my preferred options for future stays. Yes the rooms are small (the hotel name gives you a clue about that....) but they are very comfortable, modern, spotlessly clean, and its a bonus in NY to have a window that opens and actually lets in some natural light! Internet connection was good enough to be able to stream. Modern (and quiet) heating/aircon. Quick check-in and out even with lots of customers waiting. Good location very close to Grand Central station, so convenient for airport shuttle buses/subway etc.
