Ameritania Hotel - New York 40.76411, -73.98248

Stayed here 3 years ago and found it to be adequate, this timee however we were very disappointed. Our party had booked two standard rooms when we walked into the rooms we were shocked at how small they were so small there wasn`t enough room to bring in the two suitcases let alone unpack them. The room was so cramped even a single person would have felt claustraphopic. We complained and were offered an upgrade at $20 per night which we had to accept. this was supposed to be a luxury room, it most definately was not!! This was a bigger room with two beds which was agreeable but the room was dark and dingy the furnishings shabby, the telephone did not work the taps on the wash basin broken and the electricity kept going off. In fact I could not say anything good about my stay this time. The hotel is tired and run down and needs a makeover.

The Ameritania is a great hotel located in the heart of the Theatre district. The hotel is stylish and comfortable and a great base from which to explore the City. The bar is particularly impressive - really cool and stylish wirth great cocktails!! Would definately recommend the hotel and go back again.

we recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a perfect location, only 2 blocks away from 5th avenue where if you re into designer wear you ll be in your element. being in the broadway area we were close to most of the theatres where you have a great choice of what to see. we saw mary poppins at the new amsterdam and it was fantastic had a great seat,most prices available. the hotel was always spotlessly clean sheets and towels changed every day, staff always pleasant,guy on the door to open it for you. there was comlplementry coffee 24 hrs a day which believe me will save you lots of dollars if you are a coffee addict.there was always 4 jugs of coffee on the go well topped up at all times and milk on ice, it never ran out once while we were there and boy can my hubby drink some coffee, also got a small but quaint cocktail bar....lovely cocktails...we would definately go back to this hotel as it is in an ideal spot though when you first get there you wouldnt think so until you get to know you re way around and believe it or not it is so easy to find your way. so over all we loved it.

i was worried as i read a lot of bad reveiws but the hotel was lovely free tea and coffee, hotel was 5 mins away from central park times square and all the other main places in new york hotel also minds your bags on leaving and organizes a bus to take you to the airport i would deffo recommend this hotel to family and friends

A stones throw from Times Square, This Hotel offers everything you could wish for. Although rooms are a little on the small side, you get everything you require for a short stay in New York.

The staff are very friendly and the Hotel is right in Times Square. Everything was fine. The only problem was that I could not get wireless connection from my room, so I had to go to the second floor and sit there to use my laptop.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ameritania Hotel, we where given all the tourist information need on arrival. The room was clean and had all the essentials but the bathroom was a little small. We were located in between Central Park and Times Square which was a bonus. The only down falls in the whole trip, the charge to Newark Airport in a Mercedes.

What a location. 5 min. walk to central park, times square and several subways nearby to take you to lower manhattan. shame about the noise in the room. think it was from water system. could be very noisy at night. but all in all had a great stay. was a great price for the quality of the hotel in this area.

It was a very nice hotel. The staff was very friendly and was always there to help us when we needed information. The location of the place was great! Around the corner was the Late Show and about three blocks was Time Square. We could not have asked for a better place to stay.

Great hotel for the price. Centrally located to subway and Times Square. Staff was great and even helped us figure out which subways to take to get to the lower east side. I was skeptical on staying here after reading the mixed reviews but if your looking for a decent hotel for a great price then you should stay here!

Tiny rooms, needs to be renovated, staff not pleasant or helpful.

the location was very good and you could walk to most things. but the room was so small you could not swing a cat

How would you feel waking up in a jail cell with a baby cockroach crawling in your bed? The room was actually tiny, with the only window overlooking the courtyard that was actually a dumpster. It was an awful experience. And the price does not justify it at all. The pictures online are deceiving. The lobby of the hotel looks nice but it smells awful. If I paid 10% of the price extra, i could have stayed at a hotel that was actually worth it. As you can tell i had a terrible time there and left as soon as i woke up and killed that cockroach. Do not stay there.

Clean, safe hotel in a great neighborhood.

Our room was HORRIBLE..... we were moved to a better room the next night. Gteat location!

Stayed at the ameritania from 17th to 21th Sept ,found it ideal if you need a well located place from which to explore Manhatten.We had our 2 children with us making 4 to a room which was a little cramped but considering we didnt spent much time there it was a minor inconvenience.The staff were pleasant and helpful.The service elevator got stuck one night and would not stop from making a loud racket but it was eventually sorted,I would recommend it to anyone tht is looking for a reasonably priced well located room without the bells and whistles.

I stayed at this hotel with two friends. We picked this hotel because it was close to Times Square and other points of interests. The hotel staff were very courteous and attended to our needs promptly. We were somewhat disappointed that the lounge in the lobby area was never open. The hotel was nice and clean, but the lighting in our room was terrible. The bathroom was very spacious and the window provided lots of natural light. The beds were comfy, but could have been a little higher up. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and feel we got our money's worth from this hotel.

Some furniture is in bad shape and does not look good.

This is my third time staying here, it is in a great location,overall clean,desk clerk are helpful. My couple of complaints I left with the hotel were very poor lighting in the bathroom also we had to ask two days for washclothes and one more towel, then we also ran out of toilet paper.

I got a good deal and it was a great location. The hotel is old but the rooms are spacious. Not much of a view but if you just want a place to sleep and do some work, then it is fine. Could use a nicer TV and the carpet is a little dark but great location!

For the price, the hotel was a good choice. It is within walking distance of Broadway, Times Square, and Central Park. However, I may consider paying more next time for the increase in comfort. We had to ask several times to be sent towels and other toiletries; they were prompt with answering those requests. The room, especially the bathroom was quite small.

Great location. Beautiful lobby. Nice staff. Will stay again!

The guy at the door of the hotel was nice but the person at the reception appeared to have had a long a bad day. The first surprise was when the elevator door opened in the 4th floor, dirty carpet and walls. Any way, NY, not bad location, let's go to the room. There, the dirty carpet continued and the room smelled bad. I wanted to call the reception but a couple of cockroaches were busy around the phone! Disgusting! We went down to the reception and got a dirty look from the receptionist and a room in the 2nd floor (our only option, no way we could get a room at 10 pm on a Friday in NY!). The window in the new room didn't close completely, so you can imagine the noise in this nice location! The carpet wasn't great but at least the smell wasn't too bad. In the morning, surprise after the fist shower. The water didn't run through the drain, it came back bringing some nice dirt with it! Flash shower every one and wash our feet in the sink afterwards! The cleaning lady was very polite and said the hotel will fix it. Next morning, the problem was even worst! I guess we find out why the guy at the reception wasn't in a great mood, I don't imagine the number of complains they receive night and day! defenitevely not a place to go back or recommend.

The hotel needs quite a bit of improvement. Bathroom fixtures need to be replaced since they seem to be old and in poor condition. Window air conditioners also needed repair. Our room had a very small bathroom and the air conditioner had a loud rattle. We requested a room change for the next night. The management promptly moved us to room with a larger bathroom, but the control knob of the A/C was not working. It could be stopped only by pulling the plug.

I was very disappointed that they were able to pass off a single room as a double occupancy. There was barely enough room to walk around, only one chair, no table. Small bed, noisy air conditioner . Pay 20$ more and stay at the park central!

perfect location for anyone going to see a show on broadway, rooms are not very big but fine for a night or two (or if you won't be spending much time in the room which you shouldn't be in nyc!) :) few blocks from Central Park, lots of things withing walking distance, staff very helpful in regard to bus and train routes

the room is small but is expected in new York. Next Door to the Letterman Studios. Night two we found no toilet paper in our room and when we called down they did not want to send up some paper? We had to force the issue! My bed was short sheeted as well. never seen that in a hotel - made the long way across instead of the proper way. Rooms are very dark as are the hallways and the lobby. Our feeling is that they keep it dark to not show the dirt. The hotel is mostly europeans - non english speaking (not a big deal to us, but some were bothered by thier lack of manners) We will not be back.

After reading the reviews online, I wondered whether or not the Ameritania would be a good choice. It was excellent. We were close to Times Square but three blocks away from the crowd. We were given a choice of a room in front or back, being told that the back was quieter, and indeed it was. We go to NYC every month and we know how small and expensive rooms can be. Our room was very large and very inexpensive. You definitely get more bang for the buck. There's a great Cuban restaurant right around the corner. I highly recommend this hotel.

Very basic but clean with friendly staff in a great location.

I was pleased with my stay, the room was small but it's NYC so that's expected and the location is ideal for hopping on the Subway, walking through Times Square, and seeing shows. My 2 issues were that the lighting in the rooms was VERY poor, basically 3 table lamps (which were very dim), a closet light, and decent bathroom lighting. Basically it's not good if you're trying to piece together an outfit or apply make-up...you might get out in the daylight with a different look going on than you realized. The second issue is that the shower door is permanently caulked into place, not an issue for myself but I'm thin. The 'average American' would have difficulty getting in and out of the shower because the opening is about 12inches...maybe 14inches.

Could not believe the location of this hotel - really very convenient. My room's air conditioner did not seem to be working very well and street noise could be heard in the room, but other than that, was quite happy with my short stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, overall extremely satisfied. Only complaint is that we could have used more towels (3 people in the room), especially because there's only half a door on the shower and water gets all over the floor.

I loved it.

The hotel itself is a little run down with regards to the decor but aside from this we found the hotel great value and pleasant to stay in. It doesn't really matter that the place is a little run down, it's great value, the staff are very helpful, the cleaning service was top notch, and hey, YOU'RE in NY!!!! Who spends more than sleeping time in their hotel! Excellent location, brilliant view right down to Times Square but not right in the middle of all the honking cabbies!

The friendly staff was there. But gone were the european ambience and the terrific continental breakfast. There was no excitement, in desperate need of an update.

Room small, but adequate, and nice new lobby. But, elevator call button did not engage later, and when I tried to call the front desk, the phone was not working.Called on my cell phone, and was told that the elevator was working, and I should re-try the phone. Walked down 5 floors, and reported above to person at desk, and also that there was a towel propping open the emergency exit door opposite my door - unsafe and very sloppy looking. Elevator worked fine later, and phone worked too. Towel still in door when I checked out next day. Other staff very pleasant, and good location.

Construction work going on just outside the hotel--jackhammering past midnight. The phone in the room did not work. No washcloths in the bathroom. Very small room--I could not roll my suitcase between the bed and the tv due to lack of space.

WAS JUST GREAT FOR WHAT I WANTED 1) VALUE 2)LOCATION 3) CLEAN

I was satisfied with this hotel experience. The room was clean-Staff friendly enough. Couldn't beat the location.

beds were way too firm, too low to the ground. not bright enough light. tv didn't work! first hotel i have ever been in where tv did not work. didn't go there to watch tv, but it would have been nice to check the weather before venturing out in the spring storms that were hit and miss. only two elevators, and one was out of service! being put on the 9th floor meant we didn't use the stairs.

For the Selective , here are the Cons of my experience: 1) small 19 inch bubble tv 2) furniture was dingy 3) only one working elevator that is extremly slow 4) Shower can be messy due to half door design 5) extremely small counter sink The Pros of my hotel experience: 1) great , friendly staff 2) Great location walking distance to everythning!! 3) fairly sized room, I have seen much smaller for more money on this site 4) They were wonderful about my late check out. I would recommend this hotel for leisure, not so much business as there is a select amount of electrical outlets which can be a hassle and inconvenience for laptop and cell phone chargers.

It was fair for the price. No frills - at all. I think even the nationwide chains provide at least a tea kettle in the room. There was no mini-fridge, but did have the option to rent one. "Rent one", really? Symptomatic of the economy, I suppose. However, it was very clean and centrally located, so give it a shot if you're only looking for a place to sleep and shower.

My stay at the Ameritania was totally unsatisfactory. The clerk who checked me in failed to return my credit card. The advertised free wireless internet service did not exist and the service I paid for did not work. The bathroom is smartly redecorated, but there is no countertop or other place to put anything larger than a toothbrush. On the nights I was there, Broadway was being resurfaced and the street construction noise right outside my window kept me awake till 4 a.m. I'll certainly avoid this place.

Booked a twin room and on the first night they only had a double left but we got moved to a twin for the remaining nights. The first night was very noisy as the room was on the Broadway side of the hotel and the windows did nothing to keep the noise out, the other room was on 54th so wasnt as bad
