    Didn't like the surprise $150 fee upfront - I hope it is refundable - it wasn't described. Lack of fridge/coffee in room

    Great location near Times Square, The Rock, without all the noise. Breakfast was good - $25/day off helped. Room was good except for noisy neighbor. Would be nice to have a fridge and/or microwave in the room. Most of the staff very nice, check-out staff not really into her job

    It wasn't that i didn't like it but the wall was adjourning a restaurant next door a little noisy at night. The room was compact. I am not sure if that is the norm for a boutique hotel in the city.

    Great staff. food excellent AC worked great. Manager was charming and professional a true asset to the property. The waiter Sebastian , was attentive and very nice Vet easy going making us feel welcome.

    The wardrobes were way too small and we ended up living out of the case for 5 days.

    It's a perfect location. We walked everywhere and it's 2 mins to times square but far enough away from the madness. Staff were very helpful and lovely to chat with. The room was a good size. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom large.

    Beautiful, clean and high class. Small hotel but felt like home away from home. Lovely staff and excellent service. Jennifer in the pub was the BEST! Location was as wonderful as you could ask for. Adorable and comfy room.

    The location cannot be beat! 2 blocks from Times Square, 12 minutes from Empire State Bldg, we walked to both of our Broadway theaters. They are doing some construction on the street below so there is some noise, but being in the heart of NYC you can expect some- it wasn’t too bad. Generally it was quiet. There isn’t really a lobby- just a person sitting at a stand with a laptop. We were greeted with a smile when we arrived- very pleasant. Our room was on the second floor- we took the very small elevator up because our luggage was so large and heavy. Our room was a decent size for NY. We had a double room- the beds looked like Murphy beds with the stowage unit built into the wall. Regardless, they were both comfortable and we slept very well. The bathroom shower was incredible. It took a while to heat up but the pressure was fantastic. There wasn’t a vent in the bathroom so the stream from the shower was a bit overwhelming, had to open the bathroom door to let it cool off. AC worked great- no compliments, it was quiet so we didn’t have any noise with the unit. We did eat in the restaurant twice - the back dining room was very charming and the food was good.

    The only small points to mention for us were no tea and coffee making facility in our room, which you normally take for granted. We could order at the bar but had to pay for it. Also, we only had a small, thin wardrobe next to the bed and a desk with a chair. Apart from hanging up a few items, we had to dress out of our suitcases. But otherwise, a really lovely hotel.

    Great Irish hospitality. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Fittings and furnishings everywhere were beautiful. Beds and pillows were superb. Only 3 floors so a small hotel with good personal attention. Rooms cleaned and towels changed every day. Location for us was perfect. The hotel is next to Irish pubs and only 50 metres to Times Square. Subways were close by. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Shona and staff, you all were so lovely.

    Our room was quite small, but it is reflected in the price. If you have 2 luggage or a large one you will have trouble finding a place for them. Staff was really nice and the hotel was tasetfully furbished, the bathroom is large espexially in comparison to the bedroom. Breakfast was not included but you get a 25 USD voucher to use in the restaurant.

    Food quality variable and evidence of unnecessary scimping on portions. V small shepherds pie with no veg and tasteless fish and chips. Awkward narrow room with iron bed stands that appeared to retract into wall that I kept bumping into.

    Friendly staff, great location. Very clean. Nice bathroom. Towels and linen nice quality. Burger quality great.

    Room was a bit on the small side - but frankly it was good enough for a busy weekend in NYC

    Outstanding location for Times Square, the theatre district and Fifth Avenue. Lovely characterful building, really friendly staff and a super bar and small restaurant, with good food for breakfast. They also chucked in a $25 a day voucher to be used on the restaurant and bar, which we did for breakfast every day.

    It can be busy at times but I think that’s a product of its location.

    This is an oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of mid-town. Upscale European decor and a wonderful Irish breakfast. The staff is also warm and friendly. For a lively evening, Connoly's, next door, is a must. The Perfect Pint is 2 doors down as well. I can't wait to return!
