Staying at 33 Hotel in NYC's Seaport was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right on the waterfront, offering a serene escape from the city’s energy while still being steps away from major sights and attractions. The hotel itself feels modern and thoughtfully designed, with clean lines, stylish furnishings, and a calm, inviting atmosphere. My room had a cozy yet sophisticated vibe, and the view of the Seaport district was simply stunning—perfect for relaxing in the morning with a coffee or watching the sun set over the water. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, always polite, attentive, and ready to help. It’s rare to find a place that blends luxury, comfort, and tranquility so effortlessly in the heart of New York. If you're looking for a peaceful yet central stay in NYC, this hotel is a must-try. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

Staying at Moxy NYC Lower East Side was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major attractions and surrounded by great dining and nightlife options. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the guy who happily granted me a free late checkout without any hassle. That little extra time made all the difference. The vibe of the hotel is modern, energetic, and welcoming—perfect for travelers looking for something fresh and stylish. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting NYC.
The Standard - East Village
Staying at The Standard - East Village was an absolute highlight of my trip to New York. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of East Village, steps away from trendy cafes, local shops, and vibrant street life. I loved how the hotel blends modern design with a cool, urban vibe—minimalist yet warm, and every detail felt intentional. My room was spotless, spacious, and super comfortable, with a bed that made falling asleep easy. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and even offered a complimentary coffee and snack upon check-in. It’s rare to find such a great mix of style, comfort, and hospitality at this price point. If you’re visiting NYC, this is definitely a top choice. I’ll be back, and I’ve already recommended it to friends.
Franklin Guesthouse
Staying at Franklin Guesthouse was an absolute delight! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the option to check in early (for a small fee), which made our arrival so much smoother. The room was spotlessly clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really stood out was how convenient the location is: just steps away from a cozy corner market where we picked up snacks and essentials. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including public transit that made exploring New York City a breeze. Honestly, I’d have given every category a perfect 5-star rating if it weren’t for the app glitching and automatically unchecking my selections. Despite that minor frustration, this place exceeded my expectations—great value, warm atmosphere, and a homey feel. Definitely planning to return.
Penny Williamsburg
Staying at Penny Williamsburg felt like stepping into a vibrant, artistic dream. The colorful, bohemian-inspired design really sets the mood—every corner feels Instagram-worthy. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the subway, which is convenient for exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan. The front desk staff were warm and helpful, making check-in a breeze. While the bathroom is on the smaller side and there isn’t much counter space, the view from the window is absolutely breathtaking—like living inside a painting. The compact kitchenette is well-equipped, so I could enjoy my morning coffee in peace and even whip up simple meals. They also left a fresh orange as a welcome gift—such a sweet touch! The bed was incredibly comfortable, with just the right balance of softness and support. Sure, New York prices are always a consideration, but this place delivers exceptional value for the quality and vibe. No complaints here—this is one of those rare stays where everything just clicks. Would stay again without hesitation!
The Broome NYC
Staying at The Broome NYC was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of SoHo, this boutique hotel offers unbeatable convenience—just steps away from trendy shops, amazing restaurants, and a subway station for easy city exploration. The interior design is elegant and thoughtful, creating a calm, luxurious atmosphere that feels both modern and warm. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Every detail, from the comfy bedding to the well-curated amenities, shows great care. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a real home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic New York charm with a touch of sophistication.
Nolitan Hotel SoHo - New York
As a former New Yorker, I truly appreciated the hotel's prime location—just steps from everything that makes SoHo special. The balcony in the room was a real highlight; it offered a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee with views of the lively neighborhood. I also loved the mini-fridge—it came in handy for storing snacks and drinks during my stay. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed, making this place feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone visiting NYC who wants both comfort and convenience.
Kasa Lantern Lower East Side
This was my first time staying at a Kasa Lantern property, and I have to say it was an excellent experience. I was initially concerned about the fully remote check-in setup without a front desk, but the communication from the team was outstanding—clear instructions for access and all amenities made everything smooth. The apartment itself was spotless and significantly more spacious than many other hotels I've stayed in, especially considering the price point. For the cost, this place offered far better value than alternatives that were 30–50% more expensive. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, hassle-free urban stay.
Best Western Plus Soho Hotel
Staying at the Best Western Plus Soho Hotel in New York was a pleasant surprise. The room matched exactly what was shown on the website—compact, as expected for Manhattan, but spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed. The bathroom stood out: incredibly clean and thoughtfully designed, making it a real highlight. One minor note—there was a slight delay getting hot water in the evening, but it didn’t disrupt our stay. Breakfast was a simple yet satisfying buffet with basic staples and drinks, perfect for starting the day. What truly made the experience stand out was the staff—they were genuinely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with any questions. From check-in to checkout, the service felt personal and warm. For a solid location in a vibrant neighborhood and a great value, this hotel earns every bit of its excellent reputation. I’d definitely return and recommend it to fellow travelers.
International Students Residence
I stayed at the International Students Residence and was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and practical it felt. The kitchen is one of the friendliest I've used—perfect for cooking meals on a budget, which is great for students. There's even a piano in the common area, which adds a nice touch for relaxing or playing during downtime. My room was clean and comfortable, and while the bathroom and shower are shared, they’re well-maintained and functional. It’s affordable without compromising on basics, and being close to public transit makes getting around New York easy. A solid choice for students looking for value and a cozy vibe.
Wythe Hotel
This hotel is absolutely stunning—immaculate from top to bottom, and every staff member goes above and beyond with their warmth and professionalism. While the hotel doesn’t offer parking, there’s a great value lot just a two-minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2.5 days, which was incredibly reasonable. The room itself was a dream: exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and a bathroom that felt like a spa—with a massive tub and a powerful shower. Pro tip: if you’re sharing a room with someone you don’t want to see naked, be aware the shower partition isn’t a one-way mirror—you can actually see into it when someone’s showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so no issues there. Both the in-house restaurant and the ramen spot next door are fantastic—definitely worth trying. I didn’t make it to the rooftop bar this time, but since I’ll be back every time I visit NYC, it’s definitely on my list for next time. The room was extremely quiet, and temperature control was effortless. That said, as someone who’s highly sensitive to energy and atmosphere, I did notice some unusual things right from the moment I walked in. Nothing scary—I’m not prone to fear—but I experienced several undeniable phenomena: seeing movement down the hall in both my room and the public corridor, hearing voices speaking clearly nearby when I was alone in the shower, and even hearing the stairwell door open directly beside our room, only to find it empty when I checked. It wasn’t coming from another room—it felt immediate, personal. After returning home, my daughter looked up the building’s history, and let’s just say it shed light on everything. There’s a reason why the third floor (near what used to be a fire escape) felt particularly charged. It also explains why my first thought upon opening the front door was, “I’m surprised they get away with inward-opening doors—this violates fire code.” Anyway, if you’re curious, do your own research. But regardless of all that, this is an exceptional hotel at a fair price, located in a safe and beautiful part of Brooklyn. I’ll be back again without hesitation.
Citizenm New York Bowery
Staying at Citizenm New York Bowery was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to SoHo, and right across from the Supreme store, perfect for fashion lovers. The hotel itself feels fresh and modern, with a clean, minimalist vibe. My room was cozy and comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the efficient check-in process. Everything about this stay felt seamless and well thought out. Highly recommend for anyone visiting NYC who wants a stylish, convenient base near all the action.
