The room was Hot and took forever to cool down, the AC shuts down when you leave the room, so you need a few hours to cool the room before sleep, which is mostly impossible with a very uncomfortable bed, add to that the noise of NY through windows which allow noise through plus curtains that don’t block light, and a door next to the bed which… Read more

I chose this hotel due to its location and the facilities it provides. It is excellent value for money, and the staff is friendly and enjoys what they do. The room is a little tight in terms of space, and the working table is not practically usable. The function where the bed lifts so you can at least work on the bed was not working. For one… Read more

Got into the room and it smelled like smoke so ‘texted’ and was advised someone would get back to me. We’ve checked out and still nothing. Our room had nothing in it as you’d expect. No Dnd sign. No channel guide, a phone we found in a corner on the floor unplugged. The room was dumpy. The futon, yes futon, Was the bed for our niece. It was dirty as was the ‘futon protector’ but at least the. sheet on top was clean. Went to Have a cocktail - 1 Drink $40 with tip, no chargeable To room nor was breakfast or Coffee. Read less

Very sad to see how downhill this place went. I came here in 2012 and it was such a great experience, I couldn't wait to come back and stay but unfortunately, its an end of an era.

Very sad to see how downhill this place went. I came here in 2012 and it was such a great experience, I couldn't wait to come back and stay but unfortunately, its an end of an era. My room smelled like smoke horribly, so bad I needed to change rooms. The gentleman at the front desk (mission control) was nice and helpful. My second room was just very rundown. Black mold on the ceiling, stained makeup on the vanity, the sink was cracking. It felt dirty to be in there. To make things worse, it is incredibly loud there. Doors slamming all throughout the night, the maids talking very loudly in the morning and I could even hear the water rushing through the pipes when my neighbors used their sink. It was one of the worst night's sleep I've had in a long time. Bed was comfortable though. When I went to check out, I needed to store my backpack in the Yobot (luggage robot) which is free. The people in front of me overstuffed the machine and it temporarily broke down. An employee came over and said "oh, it just needs to be reset, someone will come to do that." 10 minutes later, no one came. Employees just kept walking right by. While the robot is free, if the team has to do any manual labor with your bags, you have to pay $3, even if the robot is broken and they won't come reset it. Finally when I came back to get my bags, I needed to use the restroom which is located on the 4th floor. The bathroom is for both male and females and has about 7 stalls, none of which had a single shred of toilet paper and was filthy. All in all, I don't remember Yotel anymore, even for a budget option. There are other places that are much cleaner in the area. Read less

The location of the hotel was perfect, and the team was very professional both at check-in and check-out. The housekeeping staff was friendly and kind. However, we were extremely disappointed by several aspects of our stay. The bed was supposed to be a queen size, but it was only 140cm wide, not 160cm. Access to the room was difficult as the door touched the bed, and there was no storage space. With three people in the room, it quickly became cluttered. The cleanliness of the room was questionable, and we also noticed mold on the bathroom ceiling. The worst part was that for the last two days, our neighbors were smoking in their room all day long. We woke up and went to bed with the smell of tobacco, which was very unpleasant. The smoke easily entered our room due to a gap under the door. Read less
