Also, please note that unless you buy the most expensive category, which is often more expensive than the last-minute deals at the nearby Hilton and Marriott hotels, your room will face back walls and noisy restaurant fans, not a very charming situation.

The air conditioning is noisy.

€400 per night during the pre-Christmas period is more than outrageous for such a small, noisy room with a tiny bathroom.

Great music.

There was people yelling and arguing at night, the rules state to be quiet past 9pm.

Absolutely clean, very quiet, definitely a place to be in NYC

Tripadvisor Top complaints

1) The bed mechanism did not operate-just made noise when pressed (this is not a big deal for us, as in our past stays most of their bed adjustment mechanisms did not work); 2) The room phone is dead-this is not good, as one cannot call for a medical issue or other problem, and is a clear safety issue; 3) The safe was locked on arrival, and after waiting 40 minutes, then again a second time, was notified it is permanently broke and cannot be fixed.
