Room condition195Mostly good
Nice accommodation, modern.
Booking network, August 2026, rated 8/10 by this guest
Very cool modern hotel where you would least expect it - at the end of a short alley completely covered with graffiti.
Google, May 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Hallways were hot, no free WiFi, wish i had personal microwave, wish it had a pool or some sort of water lounge area, wallpaper in room was peeling, let people know there is an alternative entrance to hotel for wheelchairs or rolling in Luggage.

Quiet at night259Mostly good
Quiet and cozy room with balcony and great views.
Google, July 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Because it’s down a pedestrian alley it’s also pretty quiet.
Booking network, April 2026, rated 9/10 by this guest
It was a bit noisy at night (outside), but I'd expect that considering we're in the city.

Our room could have been bigger, but we all know this is a general issue when visiting NYC.

Should be more isolated/private.
Booking network, April 2026, rated 8/10 by this guest
the toilet is basically next to the bed with a sliding door --- makes for an interesting situation should there ever be more than 1 person in the room.

A facility closed4 of 2951 in 74 reviews
The rooftop bar was always privatised !
Booking network, July 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
We were looking forward to watching the sunsets from there, but the staff turned us away because it's used for external events, and hotel guests aren't allowed in.
Google, May 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
Unpleasant surroundings4 of 2951 in 74 reviews
The main street is full of homeless people and drug addicts sleeping right outside the entrance, and the alley is creepy as hell.
Google, October 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
Not as shown or booked3 of 2951 in 98 reviews
The only minor downside is that the rooms felt a little smaller than they appeared in the photos on the website, but it was nothing significant and did not affect the overall experience.
Google, June 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
for example, the rooms were advertised as having desks but did not (which we were informed was because some did and some didn’t).
