At less than $200/night minutes away from Greenwich Village with easy access to midtown Manhattan, this hotel is exceptional. Feels more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. The rehab of this late 19th century building keeps up with the needs of today's guest in every way but one: guests must carefully review the website and its photos. This building has no elevator and many long, steep flights of stairs. One must be very aware of this and plan accordingly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was adorable. It was very clean and cute. Perfect for my solo adventure. I had a mini fridge and microwave which I wasn’t expecting. I booked a room with a bathroom/shower, it was also very clean and had toiletries. My only complaint is that my room got pretty warm during my stay. There was a fan that helped some but the AC unit didn’t work or maybe that was a me thing. Either way, it didn’t bother me enough to complain while I was there. Again, very cute hotel with tons of stores and restaurants in the area. I walked back and forth from Amtrak with no issues. I would absolutely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Unsure of cleanliness after finding a random, big dangling earring in the bed. Loud banging in the pipes kept me awake all night. No phone charging ports were available. A vending machine or access to any cold drink would have been greatly appreciated. Especially, after having to climb five flights of stairs . If i had known there was no elevator and I had to make it up all those flights of stairs, every time I returned, I never would’ve booked here. This, I believe, should be boldly stated, so guests that may be physically unable to keep making the climb, are aware what they are in for. . I actually got so nauseous, from breathing so hard, that I threw up after I climbed them the 4th time.

Clean and good location. Had to walk up five flights of stairs so beware. Shared bathroom was not an issue. I am not sure anyone else was sharing with us. Great location. No frills but perfect for our quick stay in NYC.
