This was the third Yotel experience (Miami and DC were two previous stays) and would definitely pass. NYC stay did not come close to the positive experiences at Miami and DC. Rooms are exceptionally small...even for NYC standards. Although rooms were clean and staff pleasant, hotel is crowded, noisy and a college dorm feeling. Elevators are slow.… Read more
This was the third Yotel experience (Miami and DC were two previous stays) and would definitely pass. NYC stay did not come close to the positive experiences at Miami and DC. Rooms are exceptionally small...even for NYC standards. Although rooms were clean and staff pleasant, hotel is crowded, noisy and a college dorm feeling. Elevators are slow. Price was ok but recommend spending a little more for a larger room. This is not a warning of "don't stay here" but know what you are getting. Read less

Basic hotel but fine as a base - we stayed for 5 nights and would use it again. We were on the 6th floor and had a nice view of the Hudson River.

Basic hotel but fine as a base - we stayed for 5 nights and would use it again. We were on the 6th floor and had a nice view of the Hudson River. Check in and check out experience - the staff didn't make much effort. I don't think we got a smile when we checked in, let alone any attempt at a conversation or generic chat! As many others stated, the "robot" wasn't working for us to store luggage on check out. However, the main thing is the rooms were clean and the beds were really comfy and shower was great. You don't have loads of room but we were ok just living out of our cases on the floor. We didn't use the bar or restaurant in the hotel. Ultimately, we were out from 8:30am until about 10pm at least every day so we only slept in the room! I would use it again as a base as you can walk to the Hudson River and to attractions like the Edge or to get the ferry tours, only 10 mins or so to Times Square and the nearest subway. Read less

The check-in process was quick and efficient. My room was nice, clean, very comfortable, and had an amazing view of the city! The staff was super helpful. The location is great - close to everything. I had a great experience in the 3 nights I stayed there.

We were off to a bad start as the front desk demanded over $300 in facility fees ($39.50 a night) from us. I’m not sure if this is the fault of the booking agent for not being transparent or the hotel for doing whatever they like but given the lack of facilities (other than WiFi) either way it’s just a shake down. The room was on the 25th floor,… Read more
We were off to a bad start as the front desk demanded over $300 in facility fees ($39.50 a night) from us. I’m not sure if this is the fault of the booking agent for not being transparent or the hotel for doing whatever they like but given the lack of facilities (other than WiFi) either way it’s just a shake down. The room was on the 25th floor, it seems that some elevators are out of action as we waited in excess of 5 minutes on occasion for one to arrive. I got to the top of One World Trade (102 floors) quicker than the 25 stories to our room. The room itself was in serious need of renovation. The coat hooks wobbled, the window opened half an inch, there were light switches on the wall that did nothing. You had to fiddle with the switch on the mirror for a while to get the light to turn on. The heated towel rail didn’t work either. There was a ton of dust on top of the TV wall unit. The AC was very loud and you can’t adjust the fan speed, it was either off, on, or automatic (in practice on for 5 mins off for 5). On a positive note the room was clean other than dusty TV and AC/extractor fan vents, housekeeping did a great job of tidying up and making the bed, fresh towels every day etc and the room had a great view of midtown Manhattan. The staff were friendly enough, and the restaurant was nice. The location is good too for access to public transport and there are a few stores like CVS and Target within a couple of blocks. Read less
