The room is quite small, but the space is used very well. I enjoyed the experience. It was very convenient and not a square foot was wasted. Room was clean, good AC, there were enough power outlets.

View and noise. I was in the second floor where the view from my window was a roof with air conditioning or other equipment installations. Being in the second floor just up from the bar, I felt the vibration of the sound and hear the music.

“Chic, centrally-located pad for crashing after a long day in NYC”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
When they say these rooms are tiny, they mean these rooms are TINY! We were in the bunk bed room. When one person is walking around, there is physically not enough space for the other person to walk around - and my sister and I who were staying there are two fit, college students. However, I think that is the reality of staying for cheap in NYC. Nevertheless, for the price I expected a bit more space. Everything else also costs extra, which was a bit of a downside. For that reason, we never ate meals at any of the bars or restaurants, which didn’t look super affordable.
Despite the size (absolutely tiny), the finishes made the room really nice to stay in. It was chic, clean, new, and well built. All the designs, such as the lip on the bathroom wall or the nightstand shelves next to the bunk beds, were very ergonomical and efficient. You could tell it was thoughtful planned out, especially considering the small amount of space, to maximize very inch. Overall, the design was very hip and cool. Being in the hotel makes you really feel like you’re in the trendy part of NYC, a vibe and professionalism that continues through the entire hotel, from the lobby to the bars to the bathrooms. The location was great - located only a ten minute walk max from Grand Central, it was so easy to pop all around town (and we did). We really enjoyed our stay, especially as a place to crash after trecking around NYC all day!
