Decent middle of the road hotel with small compact rooms and views of the city. Good point to set up a base for exploring the city. Good location for central attractions around times square. Rainfall shower was nice.

We checked in and back out within 15 minutes, the room was so tiny, no room for luggage, no separate bathroom, no privacy curtain, cigarette burns everywhere, bed was torn in places, filthy sink, the whole place was dirty loud and unacceptable, the staff on the door were lovely, couldn't apologise enough, even got us a cab. Avoid this place at all… Read more

We dropped off our bags and were told we could come back at 2:00 to check in. Came back at 2 and had to sit in the lobby until 3:00 to actually check in. The kiosk did not work so we had to use the desk. The room we were placed in 2134 had a significant shower leak into the carpet, smelled of mold, and a non working thermostat. Thermostat got fixed thankfully. But the shower leak and mold were still very bad. Day time staff offered a “deep clean” which did absolutely nothing. Night time staff actually got us put into a different room. (You can’t deep clean a leaking shower) The rooms were very small and there was no privacy. Bathrooms were made of glass you could see and hear everything going on in there. Not a great experience over all and will never stay at another Yotel. Read less

Location was central but also very loud even for NYC. Larger cheaper rooms are available for stay longer than a week which we discovered while in the city.

I would not recommend and look for a small furnished monthly rental for about $2500 if you're staying for more than a week. Read less

Check in was easy & pleasant -and at check out you can use their cool storage robot to store your luggage until airport time. HOWEVER… the room was tiny (even though we paid extra for a Premium Queen View! (Could just about see the Hudson I suppose?!) …and it had an iron with ironing board (low priority) but no kettle or any drink facilities!!… Read more

HOWEVER… the room was tiny (even though we paid extra for a Premium Queen View! (Could just about see the Hudson I suppose?!) …and it had an iron with ironing board (low priority) but no kettle or any drink facilities!! Reception said we could get hot water for room drinks from 4th floor restaurant- but restaurant were really annoyed by that & the few times they did oblige, charged us $1.50 per cup of hot water (plus wanted a tip!!) Had to turn tv volume up to provide toilet ‘privacy’ as only a glass screen divide!! No romance here!! Room was really hot at night (even though only April) & air con was rubbish, so we opened a window -but then busy road noise disturbed sleep! Nice friendly staff, so no reflection on them but not recommended to book. Read less
