This hotel bears no resemblance to the property depicted on the web site. Start by walking up two flights of very narrow dark stairs (there is no ground floor lobby) Check in at a very cramped, dark desk area and then discover there are no elevators in the hotel. Carry your bags up more flights of narrow dark stairs to... More

So it is all true, There were 73 steps from the street level to our room. The room temperature went from ice cold to hot as the radiator pipes clanged and hissed. Our windows opened up to a brick wall and our room was the size of a shoebox. There was confusion at check in and they had lost our... More

We were here for 5 nights and it was just fine. Good location, tube on the door step, Starbucks next door, 5 minutes walk to Central Park, perfect. I was quite worried about the bed mites after reading some of the reviews but fortunately we did not have this problem! The rooms were clean and nicely decorated, bathroom in our... More

This was our first stop after a long haul flight from Australia, we found it difficult without an elevator on the first day but after some help from the staff we were... More

I travel a lot but do not often take the time to write a review, or for that matter read others before I book the room. In this case the rooms are exactly what was described by Giraaroundarol which I should have read first before booking. The hotel is beat up and having to carry bags up and down four... More

My wife and I have been staying in NYC a half dozen times a year for the last few years. We have visited several budget hotels and enjoyed all of them for different reasons. We like the East Village and we like the Upper West Side. Problem is, once the weather gets nicer, many hotels only accept multiple night bookings,... More

This hotel is about 100 years' old and it shows! We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff who assisted us by carrying our luggage up the four flights of narrow stairs as there are no lifts. Our room was very dark and poorly lit. On our first night we encountered an extremely soft mattress which sagged in the middle,... More
