Night

Checked out of hotel in less than half an hour

Saw the hotel, saw the shoe box of a room and extra small bed that would fit the average sized man and checked out in less than 30 minutes. decor was awful. music pumping through the hallways was awful. the service, however, was great and friendly. its ashame the place is so lame because the people were great.

Great location

Room is small but good for staying one night. Service is good, walkable distance to Lincoln center, central park and shops. The complimentary breakfast is not good but edible.

big mistake I hated it

I am a big business traveler and have stayed in a million hotels of new york hotels. As I was booking 5 days this time and bringing my husband, I thought I would try somewhere new and hopefully exciting. What a mistake. We knew even before we arrived it would be a disaster as I called the day before and politely asked that we be able to check in early as I needed to do work on my day off. They "accidentally" hung up on me. When I called back, they were annoyed. When I came with all my luggage the next day, they said they would call our cell number when the room was ready. Check in was 3 PM. We showed back up at 4, clearly we were forgotten and no one cared. The design is pretty awful, its like a cheap European hotel that has missed the mark. They tried to be cool, but its just ugly and not in good taste at all. The rooms are DARK DARK, ours had no natural light. A window behind a curtain faced a brick wall. But the worst part was the shower. The bathroom was generally clean (although tiny), but as soon as you turned the shower on the drain DID NOT DRAIN AT ALL. Even a 5 minute shower and the water was at your ankles and overflowing onto the floor. It was disgusting and gross. I asked to move rooms or have it fixed, but the front desk said all of the rooms were like that so not to bother! This fact alone should keep you from staying there, gross!!

Simple improvements would make a big difference

Conveniently located, dark and trendy, with interesting decor and bedside reading as noted by other reviewers. My room was very small with a tiny closet--a bit of a challenge for a 4 night stay, but manageable; comfy bed, flat screen cable TV, clean but small bathroom. Staff was friendly and helpful. A good stay overall except: Music (retro/disco/house/etc)in the lobby and halls was much too loud at times-- the desk clerk and I had to shout to hear one another. Wireless internet was not worth the extra charge; signal was very weak with continuous dropouts; not good for a business traveler. The in-room safe had a loose battery compartment cover. Various fixtures in the bathroom were loose or broken (TT holder, shower faucet handle). Most irritating was the poorly designed shower stall, resulting in flooding with every use; the curtain bar needs to be inset from the front of the stall, the curtain extended a bit lower, and shower guards placed to avoid this problem.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Night Hotel was an amazing experience in that the hotel is funky with its cream and black interior and chrome fixtures. The music playing in the lobby completely fit the look of the hotel and added to the ambiance. The bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. That was the best part. The room itself was tiny and there was barely enough room for two people to move around the room comfortably. The bell hop even said "wow, small room" when he brought our luggage up. The shower handle broke off in my hands, the air conditioning made enough noise to wake the dead, getting replacements of soap and towels was difficult unless we asked at the front desk where the staff was polite but basically could care less whether or not we needed something as long as their conversation wasn't interrupted. Overlooking the bad things though, the experience was a good one and I would happily stay there again.

contemporary and cool

My husband and I stayed one night at Night and I loved it for several reasons. 1. it was inexpensive 2. I loved the black and white, contemporary feel--not too "hotel like" 3. great location-near to times square without being in the crowd. 4. irish pub across the street. 5. great service-loved the buisness cards with my name on it. 6.breakfast-its is a treat not to have to search out someplace to get a quick bite. 7. checked our luggage so we could explore. 8. near Grand central. really the only thing I did not love was that the room was tiny--really tiny and overlooked the fire escape. but for what we paid-- it was fine. I would definately stay again and would recommend it to others for a boutique type hotel.

Excellent Hotel

The rooms are small, but it was perfect for the 2 of us for a night in the city. The price was great, I would stay again!

Great Internet Deal

We loved the hotel, with its decor and almost gothic mood. Fantastic location, great value for money, excellent staff. Of all the hotels I've visited in NYC, boutique or otherwise, this is my favourite. We have already recommended it to our friends.

Would stay there again

Excellent location. Rooms were small but very clean and the decor was amazing. It was everything I had hoped for and more.

Creepy and Fabulous

Not for the shy or faint of heart, this is the most stylish, goth, crazy cool place to stay in Manhattan. Definitely boutique and worth every penny!
