$200 dollars a night cheaper than anywhere else.. Obviously very small rooms and basic toilets and showers but you get what you pay for .. The staff were very nice people đ Location is excellent.. Lots of bad reviews on here but I think some people are yljustbstuck up their own backsides these day đ Check me out on Instagram @roaminrob đĽ
$300 cleaning fee that was absolutely not transparent at the time of booking. You might as well book an AirBnB, at least those ridiculous fees are more upfront than whatever this âhotelâ is doing. If youâre going to charge an exorbitant cleaning fee that shouldnât be something that is snuck into the price summary that youâre only made aware of when youâre checking in.
$5 a doughnut is too expensive.
** Be Aware, There Is No Elevator ** We found this hotel after our NJ airbnb got cancelled 2 weeks before our trip. We needed a suite room and my husband found the Sohotel. We really loved this hotel and its Vibe. Very clean and the staff was accommodating. Husband uses a mobility scooter but is able to walk very short distances so the hotel allowed us to store his scooter on first floor while our room was on 2nd floor. Check in is on 2nd level. If you cannot do stairs or have a scooter, baby stroller you will have to carry it up or store it in storage room on main level. Staff were great with letting us in/out of the room when needing the scooter. Rooms were adorable, small but doable. Very very clean. Small fridge. Air conditioner could have worked a little better to cool the room, while I was fine, the remainder 4 people of my group preferred it a little cooler and air was on max. We survived though. Loading/unloading luggage is not available, they have no official area to do so so you will likely have to do it swiftly while stopped in the middle of Broome Street. Hot coffee/tea available in main lobby. Very close to subway stations so easy to get to main attractions. If you fear taking the subway please donât, it is so quick and easy to use, way cheaper than an Uber/Taxi. Location is not close/within close walking distance to any big attractions, Be prepared to walk or take subway/uber.
**Mixed Experience: Fantastic Location but Be Cautious with Valuables** I write this review with a balanced perspective, as my experience was mixed. Starting with the positives, the hotel is in a fantastic location in Chinatown, close to great eateries, opposite a lovely park, and conveniently near the subway. Our family room was enormous! The main area had one bed, a kitchenette where we could prepare meals, and a full-size fridge. There was also a bar with stools for us to sit at. Off to the side was a small alcove with a second bed. The room was clean, well-maintained, and although in need of a renovation, it offered plenty of space. Now for the negatives â we had a deeply concerning incident where our child's prescription medication went missing from our locked hotel room. While we acknowledge that we should have locked it in the safe before leaving for the day, the fact remains that it was gone when we returned that night. The hotel staff were helpful in searching the rubbish to ensure it wasnât accidentally thrown out, but unfortunately, we ended up without our daughter's medications for a week. This situation was incredibly distressing and unacceptable as we had to lodge a formal police report at a local NYPD Precinct. Additionally, the hotel uses a centralized temperature control system, so you can't regulate the temperature in your own room. They keep it quite warm, making it hard to sleep comfortably. When they switch it to cool, it becomes very cold. Overall, while the hotel has many great qualities, I recommend keeping your valuables, including medications, securely locked up when staying here, as we found out that room security is not guaranteed.

Stayed here over Easter weekend. A little too cool yet to enjoy the outdoor pool, but, definitely will when we come back and its warmer. The hotel was off the strip, away from all of the party noise, and masses of people. Fast food was just across the street, as well as a convenience store for your snacks and drinks. Free breakfast in the mornings. Speaking of food and drinks; our room had a nice full sized fridge in the kitchen for storing all those drinks and food, and microwave to heat up those leftovers. Plenty of space in our one bedroom suite, with a balcony as well! One small issue during our stay; the balcony door wouldnt lock, but maintenance came up and put a temporary fix on it, which was fine with us, since we were on an upper floor. This hotel is directly under the flight path of planes leaving the airport, so there is airplane all day long til about 1am.. bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise, we loved this place.
$103 to valet your car. Absurd! This place seems more fit for conferences. Lots of homeless and drugs in this area. Very dirty. Plus everything is expensive as hell. No pool and they charge you a $30 destination charge and offer you a $30 credit for food and beverage. I drink at The View lounge is $24, so a couple has to spend $60 to get that credit. FYI, Ubers have a $35 minimum charge here.
$110 VALET! Hidden Charges!! Plus Service Charges! Unless you have to stay at this location, this valet service is really expensive. You do not find out until you check out. $110 daily. At no time did the valet disclose the cost of the charges
Perfect location to cruise port. Room was updated and clean. The ergonomics of the room was not the most efficient for our purpose. That would be chaise lounge under mounted tv etc. Close to restaurants and China town. Price was right. Would stay again Rooms5.0
Very happy with my stay - clean and tidy. Just the right size. Very well located. (Especially for hire cars). Not noisy. Reasonably priced. Has a bar. No food facilities but restaurants abound. Good for moscone centre if youâre at a conference
've stayed at many hotels in this price category in NYC and I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised at The Belvedere! The hotel is a bit older but I liked it's character and the pluses more than made up for it. It was clean, the rooms and bathrooms were huge and very comfortable. I had the best shower i've had in a long time! The front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. It's a smaller hotel so you feel very taken care of. It's in a great neighborhood with a ton close by buy also feels more relaxed. We will be staying here from now on.
Representative review excerpts add operational context to the topic signals.
Not recommend if you need a receipt! The stay itself was not the main issue â the problem is the complete lack of support after checkout. I needed a formal hotel folio for a business expense report, but the self check-in system and phone support were useless. I was given 8 different numbers and no one could provide the document. The only answer I got was basically âNo, maâam,â with no real solution. Very poor support. Very frustrating experience.

The Chelsean New York Hotel offers a comfortable stay in a convenient location. The rooms were clean, well maintained, and provided everything needed for a pleasant visit. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the stay. The hotel is close to many restaurants, shops, and popular attractions, making it easy to explore the city. Overall, a reliable and welcoming hotel that provides good value and a positive guest experience.

Inexpensive (by Manhattan standers) and nice A very good but basic Hotel situated not far from penn station. The lobby is small so it only allows for meeting a small group. The rooms are clean but we had to ask for a refrigerator and for the safe to be fixed. The hotel does give services like breakfast. But all this is rolled up in the price so what we paid for we got. All in all we got what we paid for and we are happy with what we got.
