Wonderful location on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Museums, restaurants, Central Park are all close by. We stayed here because its 10 short blocks to Lenox Hill Hospital. For out-of-towners -- know that the rooms are small, but hopefully you will be out exploring this great city. Very welcoming staff, cozy. We will stay there again.

We arrived at the hotel at 3:30pm ( 30 minutes past check-in). Our room was not ready and they couldn’t tell us when it would be… we were there to attend a shiva service so were forced to get ready in a public bathroom and leave our luggage in another families accommodations. We were told we would be called when the room was ready but did not receive a call. We had to go back to the front desk to find out our when we could get into the room ( past the time of our service). We were not able to get into our room till the evening when we arrived back only to find out that they had overbooked many rooms during our day. The rooms are extremely small and the AC stopped working in the middle of the night. Will not book again in the future.

This is a small hotel with great staff and excellent location. Rooms are very small so if you're someone who likes to spend a lot of time in your room, this is probably not for you if you're more than 1 person. But we were out and about most of the time so it was perfect for us. Two suggestions: the outdoor patio needs attention in order for guests to use and it would be helpful if the room with multiple tables could be opened before 9am since the available tables around the coffee area filled up quickly. We will definitely stay here on our next visit.

UES Hideaway

I've walked by this hotel so many times and wondered what it was like. I recently had the chance to check it out when visiting family in the neighborhood. It's a delight. Yes the rooms are small, but they're stylish, good lighting, good bed. The front desk women are absolutely lovely, friendly and helpful. I love being able to get a coffee then head back upstairs. The location is terrific for exploring the UES.

What a fun hotel! Loved the charm of our room and the antique elevator. I roomed with my daughter and we had plenty of space, although the room is not as big as traditional hotels, but I’m sure quite normal for NYC. Loved the quality of the bathroom fixtures and the water pressure was perfect. Would definitely stay again!
