The location was conveniently located near the 1 train, which made it easy to get there from Penn Station and to the theater. We were also able to drop our bags off before check-in. The rooms are quite compact and walk up only. It worked for a 1 night stay, but probably wouldn’t stay longer.

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.

The light in our room was very dim, not good enough to work by, but we only needed a place to sleep. Small room, but had all the necessary amenities. Very good value.

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.
