I feel I need to bring a bit of calmness to the reviews this place got. Now maybe I need to have stayed in more than just this one New York hotel, but comparing it to other hotels I've been to around Europe my normal city break stomping ground it was not good, not bad, but average! The way previous...

I stayed here for six nights in May, 2011. The hotel was clean, comfortable, relatively quiet (there was street construction every night literally just out my window). The staff -- especially Bing, Livia and the doorman whose name I didn't get -- were great. Let me repeat, they were great! Note that wifi is free but uselessly slow but they...

Front Desk (Melissa) solved a booking problem partially my own fault. Upgraded our room! Staff friendlier than The Barclay and even though I had a "special " deal & stayed in a suite with my 2 daughters, the sleep quality was even better @ Bowery Hanbee. Another reviewer said stay closer to Times Square (which we usually do) but that's...

I travel to N.Y. often, and this hotel has been the most value for the money, the most convenient, and hands down the absolute best staff! (Hi Ms. Melissa!). Great complimentary breakfast (deluxe continental). The room was amazing! Recently upgraded to a contemporary chic style. This is going to be my hotel of choice when I visit N.Y.!

Our stay at the Bowery Hanbee was seamless and without drama for the full five nights of our stay. The rooms were of good size for NYC and were of reasonably good value. The bathroom had been recently renovated and was very well turned out with all of the standard pleasantries provided up front. The room had good fast wireless...

My wife and I came in to the city for my birthday and she made the reservation on the phone with Best Western and referenced my being in the military. What would have been a $300+ normal room became a $212, enormous king suite. Point there is that if you are military, call, do not book online, and you may...

The Bowery Hanbee Hotel is an excellent hotel that is located in a really interesting part of downtown New York in Chinatown/Little Italy. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the room we were given was very comfortable. Not many hotels in New York seem to offer breakfast but the Bowery Hanbee provides an excellent, simple service.

This was our first stay in New York so we were unsure about where to stay and which neighbourhoods were safe etc. This Best Western hotel was a great place to stay. The front desk staff were excellent, especially Melissa! We often returned late to the area by Subway and always felt safe in the Chinatown streets. Getting uptown to...

Rate: we secured a reasonable rate by booking in advance. Checkin: a little challenging getting to the lobby on Level 2 as we arrived at a busy time. Reception gave us a few minutes to arrive at our room and rang to follow-up to see if we needed any assistance. Liked having security on the ground floor. Rooms: Comfortable, clean,...
