Halvat hotellit Staten Island

The staff at Arlo SoHo over Christmas were great. Always helpful and nothing was to much trouble

The staff were very helpful with an thing that we asked them

The location of this hotel is fab! You are pretty much withing walking distance of all the tourist attractions. Not to mention you'll have an amazing view of Empire State Building (check out the roof top bar for the best pics!). If you ask for a Sky view room or City view room, you'll get those advertised rooms with the great views. The security in the hotel is great as you can't get anywhere without your hotel room key. The room was compact but pleasantly roomier than I think some people give it credit for. The shower and toilet are together behind a frosted glass wall so you will have to come out from the frosted sliding door to wash your hands after going to the bathroom. The room has USB plug sockets which is great for charging phones without the need of a US converter plug! They also provided a powerful hairdryer (yes, powerful enough for even frizzy hair!) and a steamer for those not wanting to wear suitcase creases.. Bed is really comfortable, as are the towels provided (another bonus and saving on luggage weight). There's a coffee shop just in the lobby to start the day the right way and free umbrellas to use for those blustery rainy New York days. On our last day, we checked out early and left our bags at the hotel to continue adventuring until we had to leave for JFK airport, which is about a 40 minute yellow cab away, and the hotel called the cab for us to make everything effortless. Would i stay again? In a heartbeat!

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und das Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab alle 30 Minuten einen Shuttle zu den nächsten U-Bahn-Stationen. Zu Fuss sind es etwa 1 km. Die nächste U-Bahn-Station (Queensboro Plaza) hat sehr gute Verbindungen in die Stadt oder sonstigen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Lage war OK, jedoch gab es in der Nähe praktisch keinen Supermarkt oder Restaurants. Das Frühstück war sehr enttäuschend. Es gab jeden Tag das gleiche Essen (French Toast, Bacon, Pancakes, Sausages und Omeletten) und 0 Abwechslung. Im Frühstücksraum ist es ausserdem sehr kalt (also nur mit Jacke frühstücken). Nach der Rezeption gibt es eine Mikrowelle, wo man sein eigenes Essen aufwärmen könnte.

Die Lage des Hotels ist etwas abgelegen und von Baustellen umgeben
