Very good

The best value in NY. Safe, modest lodging with a great big breakfast buffet in the morning.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and great location but the property is old, small rooms and feels like a converted Catholic college dorm with a crucifix in each room -- not offensive to me, just a fact. Shared shower between multiple guest rooms is not my thing - this alone would cause me not to come back. Price attracted me for NYC - cost about half the going hotel rates of national chains. Staff is excellent. Take it for what it is and you'll love it. For business travel, next time I will pay the higher prices to get the amenities in my room with more square footage. On a budget and just want a place to crash at night - this place is a gem.
The staff are amazing and the location of Leo house is awesome for getting to all the attractions. Will definitely go back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean (albeit basic) but it was exactas described. Staff were more than accommodating.
Breakfast was great, the waffles went down a storm with my 11 year old!
Having no WiFi in the room is inconvenient. Also, breakfast isn’t included on Sundays which should be made clear to customers before purchasing. I would not have booked had I known. Lastly, you have to leave your key at the front desk every time you leave.
I took a bad fall down town & was bleeding & the staff was really wonderful! It is a safe place to stay. The only thing is the rooms are really hot & I had to open a window

Room was clean and safe. A bit worn but fine for a single night. Staff was nice and helpful. Building was very nice.
One of the worst hotel experiences of all time. Predatory management, which stole our security deposit because we were a few minutes late coming downstairs to check out because we lost a button. They take pleasure in screwing over their guests; seem entirely fueled by spite. Also, the plumbing and heating were incredibly loud and woke us up several times during the night. Just hilarious that a Catholic guesthouse would be the most uncharitable place you could possibly stay. Avoid the Leo House at any cost. It’s a scheme and a ripoff. They will find a way to steal your money.
Breakfast was plentiful , hot and served in a lovely dining area.

No breakfast was served on Thanksgiving…we were left a message “thank you for your understanding”…now, I understand Thanksgiving is a family day..breakfast is only 7 to 10…plenty of time for service to travelers..The Leo house could have, in the spirit of the holiday, and NO breakfast service, could have left a basket of fruit and wrapped muffins down in the lobby..that would have been a nice touch..BUT NOTHING.. I think they would have had to pay holiday rate to employees…”thank you for your
understanding Leo House”.
