    Recommend having coffee in rooms, even if packets of instant coffee.

    Good Price for the location. Flexibility on having early check in and 2nd floor room. Keypads for entry.

    Because I read the previous reviews, when I arrived I checked the bedding. I noticed that the bed sheets were stained so I emailed the management straight away and they were super quick at changing them. When they changed the sheets I realised that they were stained again 😅 I felt bad but I had to tell them again and they were super nice and quick. The management emailed me and said I could get a late checkout for free to apologize. Maybe the washing machine wasn't working properly, I don't know, but they were so nice and quick to solve the problem. I also asked for an extra duvet and that one was very stained and without cover. The cutlery wasn't very clean but I cleaned myself again before I used it. The room feels safe but I wish there was a way to lock my valuables while I was out. There is also no way to lock the door again from the inside completely. There is only a loose lock. The girl that was changing the sheets was super nice.

    The hotel is located in the perfect location. I Loved the neighborhood a lot. The room is the perfect size and I felt at home. It was very cozy. You can regulate the temperature of the room yourself I will definitely book in again when I'll go back to NYC. I was on the 4th floor but I didn't mind it at all.

    Some of the furnishings are looking a little tired and dated and need replacing. The kitchen cupboards were scratched, peeling and worn and need a revamp and there was a very broken lamp in the room. The shower is also quite weak, power-wise. A safe in the room would've been good, as there isn't anywhere to put your valuables.

    The location is fantastic - I love the East Village and it's where I like to spend my time in NYC. Check-in and out was super simple. The room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. I loved just being able to come out of the hotel right into the bustle of the East Village.

    The blinds didn’t cover the windows fully so it was quite bright in the morning - I’d recommend bringing a sleeping mask in case that affects you.

    The room looked as expected from pictures, the staff was very accommodating when we requested luggage storage prior to check in, we were also able to go to a sister hotel to store our luggage on the day of check out. The location was also fantastic, it was very easy to get around the city from there, there were a lot of great spots for food nearby. All in all our stay was very positive and smooth!

    I like the property the only problem is it’s too loud at night, they need to isolate the windows to reduce outside noise because it’s hard to sleep. Also it is a 4 story building without elevator and is hard to get to the room with luggage

    Since it was a let-yourself-in type of hotel, there was no lobby or common area. You are basically paying for the room, nothing more.

    Amazing location -- close to restaurants, shops, and not far from the subway. Great value for the price.

    Someone living in upper floor decided to walk all night in thier room which vibrated my room and stopped me from sleeping, however hotel cannot control these kind of things.

    The room was great and the facility was excellent, it was bit scary to see the hotel policy that you need to be super cautious, if you make bed linen dirty or towel dirty you might loose $150/day which is huge fine. Other than that insecure feeling all was ok.

    I didn't mind this but some would be put off by the clearly worn wood cabinets in the kitchen and broken wooden bed underdrawer. It was right on the street so there will be typical NYC noise. If you want slience get a chain hotel and a very high floor.

    Excellent location, simple check-in, simple room: exactly what I wanted for this work trip. I appreciate that you were VERY CLEAR about it being a walkup and a digital check in. Some people hate that so it's v important to make it clear and you did that well. I also appreciate the paper sign since the entrance was not on the avenue where the address was listed. And that you sent info by text and email

    Communication spread over booking chat, email and SMS. Not all tourists have phone coverage so that might be problematic for some. Very expensive, too.

    A conveniently located, tiny but comfortable place

    The room is tiny and oddly 1/3 of the room is taken up with a kitchenette while there is no wardrobe of any kind, just a few coat hangers. My biggest issue was with tiny, single use toiletries which were provided in ample supply. In this day and age, I would expect a hotel to minimise on single use plastics. This was probably the most disappointing aspect of my stay

    The location is excellent and the check in with code (without any staff) works very smoothly. The bed was surprisingly comfortable too :-)

    The door of the room didn’t work properly with the code. No one on site. Can’t leave luggage before checkin or after. Limited connection with owner; doesn’t answer texts properly. You get the code to enter the place at 3pm. So no where to rest until check in. Charge more for anything ( early checkin, late check out etc)

    Nice, clean, beautiful room, great location, close to the subway.
