    cozy room
    daily cleaning
    great lighting
    hallway noise
    small size

    The room was cozy and had a cute little sink. A hairdryer, which was a nice touch! I appreciated the daily cleaning and comfy bed. The lighting was great, and the small TV was a bonus. It's on the smaller side, but for a quick stay, it worked. The shared bathroom setup was efficient too, especially with the occupancy lights, but the noise from the hallway could be a bit much at times.

    clean room
    great location
    helpful staff
    long queues
    poor privacy

    I enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and quiet in a great location. It was just a short walk to many landmarks. I found it perfect for my busy schedule. The staff helped me plan my visit, which made everything easier. As someone from Italy, I appreciated the daily tours offered, really helped me explore the city more.

    The elevators had long queues, which was inconvenient. The bathroom privacy could be better since the door didn't close properly. It lacked a guest bathroom in the lobby for after checkout.

    I had an amazing time! The rooftop garden was such a fantastic retreat, and the daily housekeeping kept everything clean. Loved grabbing coffee from the in-house cafe and relaxing by the picnic tables.

    rooftop views
    noise issues
    cleanup delays

    Spice Symphony and Tanaka Sushi are merely a stroll away—perfect for munching on some bomb cold dishes. Don't miss the rooftop view, especially when the city lights sparkle at night! Plus, the staff is super chill and always ready to help.

    Late-night revelers turned the hallways into a racetrack—might wanna throw up some signs to keep it down after hours! Oh, and a quick pick-up for those used towels in the bathrooms would keep things tidy.

    fantastic location
    noisy streets

    Location stole the show. Just steps away from subway stations and local spots. Room was cozy, not huge but perfect for a solo traveler. Daily cleaning kept things tidy. Rooftop views were fantastic—perfect to unwind after exploring. Staff was friendly and always ready to assist, making my stay even better. I could smell the busy streets at night. noise from outside really got in, especially being on a lower floor. Shared bathroom setup felt cramped at times. Overall, a solid choice, but be ready for some noise.

    midtown location

    Affordable little gem in midtown! Stayed in a private room with a sink—perfect for solo travelers needing the basics. Clean and compact, exactly what I wanted!

    The shared bathroom felt like a game of ‘will it be messy? ’ and my keycard had a mind of its own. So much for a smooth entrance!
