Lovely designed and comfortable hotel. Staff so pleasant and helpful in every interaction. Location is perfect I had 3 Broadway shows and 6 min walk was the further one away. Tube around the corner taking you most places. Would love to return to this hotel.

Excellent location and amenities for a short getaway in NYC. The room was small but convenient and I really didn’t need more as the layout is 100% efficient and no space is left unused. Amazing views !!! Very charming and delicate decoration, including for the restaurant on GF, the bar upstairs and the rooftop bar. Live music at the bar in the weekends is fantastic and the $30 self service breakfast buffet was excellent. Very friendly staff and great communication with updates on WhatsApp. Totally recommend for people travelling solo / in couple. My only slight reservation is that the blackout blind leaks light on the sides so those used to complete blackout like me may be woken up by the light. I was jet lagged anyways… Would definitely come back. Read less

Off Broadway hidden gem that is a great hangout to discover more of Hell’s Kitchen area. Top hospitality from a dedicated team that makes you feel at home. Check out the rooftop, restaurant and excellent bar. Small but comfortable and cosy rooms with nice theatre district details.
