Chocolat Hotel and Hostel

good location

good place to crash

good spot

close by subway, food around and roof over your head.

Needs imrpovement

I stayed at both single rooms and dorm rooms at this place. The dorm rooms either smell like cigaretes or greasy food. When I stayed at the single room for a couple nights, a very rude staff member tried to kick me out as if I were an intruder even though a very kind staff member told me I could stay in that room for two nights. The only good thing about this place is cheap rate. Don't expect anything else.

It is what it is

This was my first hostil experience. I will never stay in a hostil again but it was probably worth the money in NYC.

Affordable & Nice location

The hotel staff were polite and friendly, but the building was old and seemed poorly maintained. I found my bed to be somewhat lumpy and wondered how often bathrooms and hallways were cleaned. Overall, however, I was outside enjoying New York and attending a conference, so the hotel served its purpose: i.e., giving me a safe place to sleep at night. But don't expect great comfort. The room was bare: no desk, no chair, only a bed, bedside lamps, and a TV that didn't work. Nevertheless, I'd stay at this place again if I couldn't find a cheaper place. It is close to the subway (line 1, 103rd st) and only a short walk to Central Park.

Great room for the money

The room was adequate for someone traveling on a budget. The staff was nice & friendly. The hotel has great potentiial if they keep it cleaner

Very dirty hotel room

No air conditioning Dirty room profanity on back of door

Doors have peep holes covered with duct tape

The room I stayed in had a hole in the door I'm guessing for a peep hole but it was two way. The worst part is that it was covered with duct tape. When I got up in the morning the tape was falling off and if someone wanted to they could look in at me sleeping.
