My daughter and I went to NY on a slim budget. We were thrilled with the Lotus. The beds were comfortable. Our room was quiet for the few hours that we were even in our room after full days of touring. We did not have any issues with sharing the common area with the other room in our area. In...

I'm a flight attendant so I stay in LOTS of hotels! I'm used to 3-4 stars, but paying for my own room on a quickie vacation, I like to be frugal. I brought my 21 year-old sister to NYC since she's never been and I haven't been back in a decade. We stayed the night at this hotel and it...

It's a great hotel with an even better location. The room wasn't very big but it was cozy and comfortable. We had a shared bathroom that was cleaned every day and a shared kitchen with a refrigerator that we could use. Every morning there was a complementary breakfast that was very good and complete. Service was great too. It's a...

The room had two single beds (one could easily put them together) with a closet , a night stand and dresser. It was very clean and very quiet. You shared a large corridor rooom that had a kitchette and dining table. You also shared a bathroom with another room like yours. I never saw the person in the other room....

As per the review title, the only good thing about this 'hotel' is that its located right besides the Empire State building on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. That and its low price. All others things about the hotel were poor - room service, front desk, room size, amenities, breakfast - I have had better services from smaller hotels in smaller...

The hotel is quite hard to find since it's squeezed in between some shops. The location is perfect, about a 5 minute walk to the Empire State Building. There are several metro stations in the 5 minute walking radius that get you anywhere. The rooms are in appartments with a kitchen and a bathroom for two rooms. The bathroom was...

Good value accomodation, great location on 5th Avenue only 2 blocks from the Empire State Building. Room was very clean and shared bathroom wasn't an issue, you only share it with one other room. Bathroom was always very clean, I think they came and cleaned it a few times a day. Great to get breakfast included, bagels, juice, cereal. tea...

Very dirty and noisey. Room was dirty as well as the bath. the overall feel is very run down. street noise was terrible. rooms and beds are small and cramped. I guess it would be ok if your a 20 year old backpacker but otherwise save yourself the trouble and upgrade to a real hotel. the whole place felt like...

The hotel is in a good location for the budget conscious traveller, however, it is very much a you get what you pay for - or rather don't. Check-in process was painless - staff overall were by no means rude but not the friendliest. We stayed in one of the loft rooms which as someone else has mentioned is not...
