    It is in a great location - so close to Times Square and a major underground station so it is very easy to get around NY if you are sightseeing. The staff were very friendly and helpful with swapping our room when the light stopped working in our room.

    A couple of reception staff were slightly rude at times. The lady who works behind bar was extremely rude and very poor attitude. We thought it was just towards the three of us until other customers we got talking to about our New York trip, stated the same. We had already made a complaint, not sure if she was made aware as on our last night when we called in for one drink she was much better

    Location great … for what we payed was fantastic

    Hotel has 2 separate elevators systems to reach the rooms, one from the street to the lobby, and another from there to the rooms. It is cumbersome and often very crowded.

    We had a double room with 2 beds. It was set up as bunk beds given how tiny the room was. Nonetheless, it was all very confortable, even had a desk and chair, 2 tvs (one for each bed), and a super clean and modern bathroom. We felt a bit as in Japan, given the cleanness and smallness of it all.

    Very friendly staff, cool, clean and comfortable, great value in a central location

    The only downside was something the hotel can't really help, which is that 42nd Street is a mess! There was a lot of construction and scaffolding, and it's a big, busy street, quite dirty and downmarket. A shame, as even just one block up is much nicer, and there are plenty of nice cafes etc nearby. But they can't really help that. It was safe enough, and central, so we didn't mind.

    We really enjoyed staying here - not least because the air-con was great, very useful as the weather was really hot. The staff were super-friendly and helpful and gave advice on New York, airport travel and a local bar where we could watch the football. They also have a secure luggage store, so we could safely leave our bags between check out and heading for the airport. The room was small as expected (the photo on the website was accurate), but clean and light with a great view, and well-designed to make the most of the space. It was also very quiet, despite the noise outside. Everything worked fine, and when my bedside light broke, they fixed it the same day. We liked the onsite gym and bar, the late checkout (midday) and having somewhere comfortable to wait before we left for the airport. It's also near a subway station (one block along), which we used every day. As it was the second cheapest hotel I could find (in a reasonable location), it was very good value for money.

    the room should have a fridge in it nothing else really

    the location is excellent Shantal and David at the reception were fantastic and very helpful I had a medication that should be kept in the fridge, but unfortunately, there was no fridge in the room I had to give my injection in the manager's fridge, but when I came to take it back, it was not cold everything is excellent location bed wifi staff everything you need is around your hotel 2 min walking distance if you like big rooms, don't go there for me, comparing the superb location and price, I was more than happy, and I will stay there again and again

    It felt a little crowded for two people.

    The location is great, just a short walk from the metro and Times Square. The rooms are on a high floor which offers a great view. The room is small but the bathroom is big enough. Plenty of cute places near by to have breakfast.

    It would have been nice to have access to some complimentary water in the room or for there to be a publicly accessible water fountain with cold water, especially during the heat of summer.

    I had stayed here previously and liked the value for money, proximity to eateries, and especially Times Square. I felt safe and privacy respected. I enjoyed seeing a wide range of people coming from all over.

    The rooms are not spacious but we knew that beforehand, so...not complaining. The TV channels were disappointing as we could only watch 1 channel. We tried different ways to access other channels and it was not possible. We would have enjoyed having some more storage options. We would have appreciated having more breakfast options inside the hotel.

    The location was perfect for us. The staff was amiable and helpful. It was very clean and it felt safe inside. The access to amenities and public transport from the hotel was excellent.
