Stayed at the King Studio on the 8th floor for 7 nights.
Check-in was unfortunately delayed past 4pm by 1.5 hours as housekeeping was late. However, Claudia at reception was kind enough to offer a 2-hour late check-out, which was appreciated. She was also one of the friendliest staff we met throughout our stay.
The room was very spacious and well equipped.
However, some parts of the room saw signs of ageing - scruffs and marks on the floor board and walls.
In the bathroom, the shower water pressure was weak, and drainage was very slow. The provided body wash/shampoo/conditioner were sketchy.
In the room, the air-conditioning was loud - though we didn’t have to use this much as it was winter.
In terms of facilities, there was a nice rooftop patio, and also lounges which were nicely furnished. The gym was small and key amenities (air-conditioning and water dispenser) were not functioning.
In terms of location, it was superb - the property is a close walk to South Ferry (for the Staten Island Ferry), Wall Street and Charging Bull. A stone’s throw to several subway lines (red, green, yellow).
On balance, a well-priced option for those considering staying outside of midtown Manhattan. Would stay again.
