Hudson Hotel

This was the most horrendous hotel we have ever stayed in. The entire thing is dark and disorienting The room was beyond lack luster. It was the smallest accommodations I have ever had the misfortune of staying in which they kept at a sweltering 74 degrees with a governor that didn’t allow the thermostat to be lowered. The staff were the least helpful and rude group of pretentious pricks I’ve come across in the service industry. Do yourself a favor and grab a nice corner to stay on because it would be exponentially more enjoyable.

My wife left her wallet in the room and SURPRISE somebody who had access to the room STOLE IT and nobody in the frontdesk help us
Its the worst in NYC never in my life will come again

The Hudson… A trendy, fancy hotel… That is what it looks like on paper… In reality it is a real nightmare, or if possible: worse than a nightmare.
After a long day of travels we arrive –jetlagged– at the hotel. Our room is ready and we go upstairs immediately. Too bad… the bathstopper does not work and underneath the stopper there is plenty of hair. Ieuw… No relaxing bath then after you spent more than 11 hours on planes and airports. The only thing we wanted after those travels was to feel clean.
The next morning we woke up very early –at 5 am– due to the jetlag. This did not stop us from starting to discover the city. Once arrived in the lobby we ask someone from the reception to let somebody take a look at the bath so we can finally wash ourselves properly that night. After a long day of shopping and strolling in the city, we arrive exhausted in our room to notice that the problem is not solved. Again we go to the reception –it is around 8 pm– and the girl tells us she is «so sorry», that she will give us $ 50 credit for the inconvenience and that she will send someone to our room right away. Do not take right away too literally, because at 10 pm the plumber finally arrived with a proper stopper (ours was broken). My mom had already fallen asleep by then…
New day, new start you might think, but unfortunately the worst was yet to come. The next morning after the second bath-​incident my mother put her drops of medication in the bottle of water next to her bed, as she always does, in order to drink it up at night. That night we arrived in the room and saw that the bottle had disappeared… Not only the bottle, but also our toothbrushes and toothpaste… Surprised and shocked at the same time we went down to speak with the receptionist. She immediately called her manager so we could explain the situation to her. We did and all she said was «oh I am sorry, I will investigate this tomorrow and for now I will send toothbrushes and toothpaste to your room». We never saw the toothbrushes, not when we asked it the first time and not when we called an hour later to the front desk to ask where our toothbrushes were… Also the manager told us that they would call or email us with the results of their «investigation». We never received any phonecall, nor email. When we stopped by the reception to have an update on the situation the next day they told us that the cleaning lady said that she did not throw away anything‼ She accused US from lying?! Lying about two toothbrushes and a bottle of water!!! Yes, New York City is really that boring that we want to spend time on inventing these kind of stories… We could not believe our ears‼ This is all about the principle. Toothbrushes are replacable, even the bottle with medication, even though it was very important for my mother to take the medication, but as a hotel guest being accused form lying was a little too much!
The manager again said she was sorry and offered a $ 100 credit, but in our opinion this was certainly not enough. A free night or a higher credit would have been more convenient.
It was clear we were not the only people in the hotel who had a bad experience. The day we checked out, we overheard a conversation about a person who had received a key from a room that already was occupied… The lady was in shock and so were we.
This hotel lacks friendliness, hospitality, professionality, hygiene and so much more. It is more like a hostel than a hotel. Even at Club Med you are better treated than in this hotel‼ This was definitely the last time that we stayed here. Soon, I will move to New York and this hotel is very close to my appartment, but I will never send my family or friends there to spend even one night… Because it truly was worse than a nightmare‼ Never again‼

The lobby, bar/​restaurant and terrace are fabulous! The room in teeny tiny, very limited amenities, and feels worn. So you’ll spend most of your time at the bar/​restaurant which is hip and delish!

Endroit à découvrir! Pour les initiés! Cocktails un peu trop sucrés mais atmosphère envoûtante et calme: on peut se parler et s’entendre!

My review is specific to Hudson Terrace and not the hotel itself.
I have been to this bar 3 times in the past month, and each time absolutely wonderful. I went once for their cinco de mayo party, and twice just for birthdays and some roof top seating.
Overall, the décor, the drinks, the service, and the location are wonderful. I have eaten the tacos, which were great, but I’ve done more drinking here than eating. I can however tell you, the food smells great.
The outdoor area has the coolest décor, and its a great place if you want to bring family and friends. They even allow children on the rooftop area (not directly in the bar) because it is a hotel, and that makes it an easy place to celebrate with both.
If you are looking for a place to go for drinks, I recommend it. If you are looking for a place to go in a large group, I definitely recommend it. There is usually a dj there, at least all 3 times there has been, so if you are looking for a fun night, i highly recommend it.
Not to mention, the bartenders are great!

Did not stay here. Came just to visit the Library. Its supposed to be a great bar for business traveler. but I found it very limited.
Lots of people and many many bars in the same place, but the Library was small and packed. Not a single seat and the bar was crowded. So. no whisky for me.
Won’t be back for the bar again, cos it really wasn;t all that great.

From the check in (male unknown) to the hotel operator (rob) to the manager (Randy) this experience has been the WORST in my travel history. I stay in hotels more the my own home. From city to city and country to country. Never will I return here.
After explaining to the manager there is no way to shut off my light, and encountering is condescending answer, turns out the string is broken (according to his staff).
Don’t pay for the location. The room is as big as a kitty litter box and the staff so very rude! Stay elsewhere!

Don’t stay here. The walls are paper thin and the rooms are so tiny, there’s nowhere to even put your luggage, clothes or shoes. Additionally, they charge $ 20 PER BAG OR ITEM PER DAY after checkout for checking luggage and don’t tell you beforehand, and there’s an added on fee per night not included when you book.
This hotel is looking to rip you off every chance it can.

This is a review for the hotel accommodations. Checked in for a night and paid for the room in advance (as per usual). Get to the front desk to check in and get «you are all paid for… but…» Then she bangs me for a $ 15.00 mandatory drink fee (it’s Sunday night and I’m already hungover), and then bangs me for another mandatory $ 29.00 ‘hotel service fee’ which includes wifi, and something else I have no interest in using.
I don’t mind paying more upfront, just advertise the true rate and don’t blind side someone with hidden fees… you are a hotel not a two bit cable company.
Otherwise he rooms are nice as is the bar downstairs. Location is close to Central Park. But add these fees to your total!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a bad review, and Hudson Hotel is absolutely worthy of one. Granted, if I had just taken a peek at just a handful of the Unilocal reviews before booking there, I never would’ve gone, and this review would never have been written. So, too bad Hudson. Here’s another to add to the pile.
I’ll start with the good things about Hudson Hotel:
–Centrally located
–The Library Bar is a pretty great place to get drinks (it’s not cheap, but it’s NYC. Nothing is cheap here.). Nice ambiance, decent food selection, big space, & a nice array of quality brown liquors to choose from.
–Our room was not infested by any bugs, rats, or other vermin. (This should be a given, but it’s worth noting.)
–The gym was actually fairly functional.
I shall now list the things that royally ticked me off, considering the room was around $ 200 for one night (and this was a pretty good deal on
, too!):
–As other reviewers have mentioned, the rooms are laughably small. Like, in a silly way.
–The walls and other fixtures were surprisingly beat up, I’m assuming from luggage and distracted/​drunk visitors.
–The street noise was shockingly present, even on the 20^th floor. (Probably meaning poor window insulation.)
–PAPER THIN WALLS. And we were lucky enough to have crazy screaming neighbors on both sides of us. On a Tuesday night.
–No amenities. (I don’t count shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer. Even the Motel 6 offers these things.)
–Sub-​par shower. Sub-​par bathroom, in general. AND, to top it off, we were allotted one not-​even-​full roll of toilet paper– and NO extra anywhere to be found. What hotel doesn’t leave an extra roll of toilet paper in all the rooms? Are we animals, people?!
–Oh, forgot to mention that the front desk service is weak and inept.
To conclude, the price tag does NOT fit the product. I don’t care that it’s in the Columbus Circle area. Empire Hotel is only a few blocks away. It certainly has some micro-​sized rooms as well, but the quality you get is far, far superior. I’ve stayed there a few times, and should’ve just stayed loyal to Empire when we needed a room in the area for the night, but I wanted to try somewhere new. Moral of the story: Do not try somewhere new, if by «new», you mean Hudson Hotel.

The sense of foreboding didn’t kick in until I was walking down the hall to my room, just after arrival, and another inmate– I mean, guest– said conversationally, «Aren’t these the smallest rooms you’ve ever seen in your life? Even for New York!»
I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in this city, and he’s not wrong. When I first unlocked my door, «Soviet» was the word that jumped to mind. It’s not a room so much as a closet with a bed in it. There’s a curtain in front of the bathroom so that when you use the toilet, you’re lightly veiled from your partner’s gaze. You have to turn sideways to get into bed. You will hit your head on things, even if you’re 5’4″. My cheap stateroom on a Carnival cruise was larger, and I’m not joking about that.
Maybe you’re thinking, «so it’s small, who cares.» The reason they get one star from me is twofold: one, the hair in the shower, long and black and luscious and not mine; and two, the $ 22 «resort fee» they surprise you with at check-​in. Oh I’m sorry, is this a resort? I can’t wait to use the pool and spa. Wait, you don’t have either of those? Your «resort fee» means wifi and drink credits I can’t use? But I’m forced to pay it anyway, canceling out the savings that could have gotten me a room somewhere else where I wouldn’t have to eat takeout at a narrow desk facing the visible toilet?
So since they’re charging a «resort fee”– that doesn’t happen in NYC hotels as a rule, by the way– I’m reviewing this place as if it’s a resort, and if it were, it would be a one-​star resort with zero amenities. The following night I stayed in a hotel that DID have a spa– and coffee service, which BTW would be a great addition to your resort, Hudson folks– and they gave me free wifi without my asking. No «resort fee» shakedown there or at ANY better hotel I’ve stayed at in this city.
Location is convenient, but this is New York. You have at least 400 better options than this place. If you need one last reason, look at the responses from management to all the complaining reviews. Don’t see any? That’s the type of service you can expect here.

Review for Hudson Common breakfast and after dinner drinks only.
A few colleagues were stationed here from out of town so I really only got to experience the lobby and the room called «Hudson Common» which is used for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as drinks later in the evening. The décor is definitely the best thing about this place. Long wooden benches and tables give the room a relaxed feeling and everyone seems to be in a happy mood, probably because many of the guests are from out of town on vacation. For breakfast I had a bagel with lox and cream cheese which was quite good. They didn’t skimp on the lox and all of the other trimmings were provided. Later in the day when we returned from our meetings we convened once again in Hudson Common for a few beers. I had a great locally sourced beer from the tap — exactly what I needed after a day in Manhattan.
Overall this place has a very chic and modern feel to it. I would come back for drinks only because I hear the guest accommodations don’t match the first impression that the bar and lobby convey.

Hard to know what to make of this place. On arrival you can just see escalators and it’s not clear where the doors are to get to the lifts with your cases. I also found the floral smell very overwhelming, to the point where my allergies started to flare up.
The lobby area and library bar are amazing. As a guest, we got $ 15 credit a day, given a cocktail was about $ 18, I thought this was clever/​cheeky. Either way it was nice to essentialy get one cocktail free a night and each evening thats what we finished off with.
The location is great, as you are right at central park/​subway etc.
However, the rooms were small. As many people have said you struggle to get 2 cases in here. The AC was also temperamental and I often woke up sweating and unable to turn it down. The lifts were really noisy, we were right next to them and you heard the pinging all night.
The bathroom was tiny and I didn’t like the glass shower door. It made it quite difficult to have any privacy from my friend, without being like hey I’m showering!

The Hudson Hotel is in a great location and has a cool entrance, lobby and bars. That’s about it on the good news.
The bad news? Rooms are tiny, would make Japanese hoteliers in Tokyo blush they are so tiny. The bathroom doesn’t get much better. Oversized friends beware unless you are happy to go without toilet access.
Then there’s the hidden (ok they are in the small print) charges. I had a charming letter under by door this morning with $ 67 of facilities charges for three nights. I asked what these were for and was told the internet, local phone charges, the gym. Front desk were belligerent that these were justifiable. I disagree.
Not recommended and shame on
for supporting this kind of shady stuff

Location was awesome, so close to Central Park and Times Square but here is why I am giving it three stars (thanks in advance for letting me vent!): I should start off by saying that the décor of the hotel was absolutely beautiful — chic & modern and beautiful wood throughout and lovely chandelier and greenery upon entrance. When you come downstairs you truly want to hang out and experience it. I also want to note that despite what I heard about the single rooms being oh so small and terrible, I would actually give this NY hotel a «5 star» on my room experience simply for the fact that the double bed room was much larger than I expected; we were very very pleased with the beautiful DOUBLE room and beds were extremely comfortable. So spend the extra cash flow for a double room :-) I also want to give a positive compliment to the staff — they were friendly and helpful.
Here is why this hotel does not deserve a 4 or 5 star rating:
1. Off the bat, I pre-​paid for this hotel and was overcharged close to $ 100. I called the hotel and no one could deliver a truthful answer or explanation as to why. I am STILL working with my credit card provider to resolve this. It took at least 4 calls to the reservation line to actually get to someone with management experience.
2. When my friend and I booked this hotel we booked it specifically because the third party booking site we booked it off of
listed it having a «spa» and «pool» and there were even pictures of a pool! When I called to inquire about the usage of the spa I was told there wasn’t one, and basically it was false advertising. My friend and I were excited to use the pool when we got there and then found out that nope, no pool either. Now, I spoke to the Sales Director about these items, explaining how we booked The Hudson because of these amenities, I even emailed over pictures of the booking site listing; and basically — I felt like THEY DIDN’T CARE. We were not willing to pay the nightly «resort fee,» because this hotel is anything but a true resort. Terrible customer resolution management in my opinion.
3. Now, it would have been nice to use our free drink coupons awarded to us, and on the night of my good friend’s birthday we tried to at the hotel bar downstairs — but the bartender LITERALLY told us he wash not able to make a specialty cocktail in a fancy mug that the 2 girls next to us had, no explanation he just couldn’t. Sure, no prob we asksd for a Bourbon based drink to toast with and NOPE — bar was completely out of Bourbon on a Friday night at 11pm in NYC. I rarely even drink but I was annoyed such simple requests couldn’t be met. The concierge told us we could walk around the corner to the bar for the selection we wanted. Once again, this is a hotel that had broken promises as we were still not happy with amenities.
They do have a cool bar down the hall but when my friend and I tried to go the evening we got in it was packed to the brim with locals and not even a spot to sit. So we opted not to, we are guests and should at least be able to sit! So, we did not partake in any of the on-​site restaurant and lounges that they were known for, not cool — ya know? We paid our $ 500+ for 2 nights.
4. Even though it was 70 degrees outside, and 76 the first day of arrival last week, the outside beautiful terrace that we were so looking forward to enjoying was CLOSED! What the heck! This now makes 5 amenities we were not able to utilize at all.
6. NO ROOM SERVICE! Wait, this now makes 6 amenities.
7. No coffee maker in room — this is just a personal preference, but I have stayed at Best Westerns and fancy motels on the go that have a coffee maker. Our fridge also didn’t work right.
8. Bedding on beds– housekeeping make it wrong both nights were the long end of the comforter was on backwards — I just thought it was funny if nothing else.
9. On the last day of our stay, my friend and I used the lobby restrooms to freshen up a bit before checking out a Broadway show and a staff member came BANGING on the door telling us to get out and he needed to change the trash. I am talking about Banging! It was strange and very rude.
I would love to give a #10 — but I will just say this, I really wanted to fall in love with this hotel just like i did when I saw the original pics, and everything listed at booking but I just couldn’t. It was pleasant for a place to just sleep in but I will not be coming back. I think my biggest issue is that the staff didn’t really seems to care and Director of Sales SHOULD HAVE comped us a night for all this or given a discount but nope — she didn’t really seem to catch on to the fact that I was flying 3,000 miles across the country and had certain expectations that in my opinion should have been met or accommodated for.
My friend and I still had a blast in the city, but save your bucks on this one.

Pros: location is great!
Staff was nice and helpful
Lobby is beautiful
Cons:
Rooms are tiny and either updated with see through walls to the bathroom, or not updated with bathrooms that clearly need updating.
We checked in for one night only and really didn’t mind having a tiny room… However a glass wall between the bedroom and the bathroom? Not ok. Also, not that we were planning to watch tv, but having it on the mirror on the side of the bed makes it essentially impossible to watch– but don’t worry because it faces another mirror do you can lie sideways and watch the reflection… We thought that was an amusing image. As soon as we noticed the glass wall I asked the front desk if we could be switched to a room with a real wall and some privacy. Luckily, the staff is really nice and understanding and immediately knew what we were talking about (jokingly called it a peek-​a-​poo) and moved us to a room that was not updated by whatever crazy designer thought that was a good idea… While the bathroom could use some updating (cracked tiles, stained caulk) it was actually larger and obviously more private. The tv was better places as well, though having a leather tassle on the bed and a silver tray that even the staff joked must be for drugs was odd and unappealing…
Overall, nice lobby. Great location. Very very weird rooms. Wouldn’t recommend for a romantic weekend or a family trip… Maybe if I needed somewhere to stay on my own, but than not for that price… Overall I think they need to decide what their brand and message is and carry it throughout.

The rooms are extremely small — roughly 10×15 for 150 square feet. If you are tall, your knees will hit the wall when you sit on the toilet, and if you’re obese you may have problems navigating around the room. Two people will be extremely close together, and you need to be comfortable with a shower that has a glass door into the bedroom. There is nowhere near enough space for two people’s luggage in a standard room. The shower has minimal pressure (on the 10^th floor). But if you get past all that then…
The room design is really awesome. Hardwood floors and a nice bed. Free WIFI that I tested at 18MB download speed (very fast!) — where else can you find that? A free bottle of Voss bottled water when you check in that hotels normally charge $ 8 for when you check in. An extra-​ordinary lobby that is very hip. In short, the design is awesome, but the space is not. The location one block from Columbus Circle makes this a great locatIon with so much within walking distance. If you can live with the extremely tiny space, you might really like the Hudson. But the rooms are really, really tiny. Really.

Booked this hotel on the app Hotel Tonight so I only ended up spending a little over $ 100 for the night. This is about all I would want to spend on this hotel. The room was extremely small even for NYC standards, it actually reminded me of a room on a cruise. It was fine to sleep in for one night but would have gotten uncomfortable staying there for more than one/​trying to squeeze more luggage in a tight space. The girl at the front desk was super upbeat and friendly which made checking in relaxing and fun. We were given some complimentary drink tickets to use during our stay. My boyfriend and I used them on the rooftop as the sunset. Unfortunately, the sangria they were serving was some of the worst I have ever had and we couldn’t finish our one complimentary glass. Hudson is a fine place to stay for a night if you just want a cheaper place to crash in after a night out in the city. Most likely won’t be coming back here on my own accord.

After reading the reviews of this hotel whist staying there I felt compelled to write a review to counteract those negative reviews I was reading.
Before arriving in New York our flight got cancelled due to a blizzard so I emailed the hotel. They moved our stay by a few nights either side with no hesitation and were offering their assistance should we need it to sort other aspects of our stay.
On arrival I was met by a beautiful reception, with lots of indoor plants and twinkle lights all over. It was very rustic but modern at the same time. A lovely welcome after a long flight.
The room itself was small, but standard for NYC. When you are getting a great price and an even better location you aren’t expecting a penthouse suite (which they do have if you fancy it). As with all city breakers we werent planning to spent any time in the room so it was sufficient for its purpose.
The regular bar was lovely yet again. My only gripe was that this hotel seemed like a meeting point for city slickers and most tables were reserved! But we managed to find seats and enjoy a lovely wine under the lights. There was also a glam, glossy bar which was open from Wednesday each week. Very very nice and open late so you can have a night cap and relax after a long day in the city.
The location of this hotel was amazing. Right on the peripheral out Hell’s Kitchen, next to Central Park and a short walk to Times Square. What better location could there be?
Great stay overall and would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

El hotel está decorado x el mismo q decoro el faena.
Todos los espacios comunes son muuy lindos y con mucha onda.
La atención excelente…
Lo malo, las habitaciones son muyyy chiquitas y el desayuno medio poco.
La ubicación es estupenda!

Stayed at this hotel during a short city break recently. The location is great, just a few blocks away from Central Park, Hells Kitchen and with a subway right on the corner it really made life easy for travelling to anywhere in NY.
The hotel itself was very comfortable and one thing that I thought was excellent was the number of staff on the check desk that helped keep the ques to a minimum and kept the punters happy.
There is bar and restaurant located next to the reception area which has plenty of seating areas for relaxing. The staff were really friendly and were always available to give us any info we needed.
The room we stayed in was extremely comfortable with all that you would need for a short city break. All in all this was a very nice experience and I would personally stay here again!

I gave this hotel a second try. Last week I had a horrible experience (clogged bath tub and then walking into my room with three engineers tearing up my wall in the bedroom) so we changed rooms twice. This week — heater did not work. Engineer came to my room twice and still it didn’t work. So room change again. The new room blinking phone light (which they wanted to send an engineer again — I said NO) and the safe didn’t work either.
I don’t recommend this hotel at all.

Emmm… hmm. where do I start with this? Overall the Hudson Hotel is a trendy modern vibe, accessible to a lot of cool places in NYC including Central Park and Times Square. The service is generally provided by a younger staff but they are very competent and cool. The lobby is very fashionable and they have a spot to check your bags in case your room isn’t ready right away, which allows some freedom to go do some things while it’s prepared.
The real issue I have with the hotel is the actual room itself. It is tight. almost what you would expect from a studio apartment — the bathroom especially so. Our room had a curtain so you could look into the bathroom from your bed if you desired. So if you are going to this hotel, make sure you are more than comfortable with your traveling companion. The bathroom itself is like a closet with the toilet lined right up to the wall it faces. We didn’t have hot water at first and there was some kind of smudge on the mirror. The bed is roomy and comfortable but takes up most of the space in the unit.
This hotel could get two stars for the room or three for the overall experience if you don’t grade the room too harshly and give credit to the other factors. I’ll be nice.

Checked OUT Hudson Hotel because of terrible service and absence of hospitality. Hotel’s have forgotten there origin to provide bed and a place of comfort. Sadly Hudson Hotel has lost both for me and no longer the chic lifestyle brand. In fact it is a lifestyle but not for me or anyone who hold the belief of a diverse evolving society.
As we approach 2016 sadly folks still can’t see beyond the human spirit but instead prefer to abide and encourage the separation of mankind. How many race related movies is Hollywood planning to produce I am exhausted. The characters keep changing the time petiod keeps being stretched but the STORIES still remains the same …
Capital of the world, home of the UNITED NATIONS and still we stand on a thrushold unprepared to embrace equality and diversity.
But I have HOPE that we will eventually cultivate non-​judgmental environments where we can share and exchange without offense … I have HOPE that today’s pain will be tomorrow’s victory that will create a path for learning

Odds are if you’re reading this you either got scammed by a Priceline bid or are hoping this hotel is designer… It’s not. It’s a very old hotel that they hired a fancy designer to slap some style into and that’s it. It’s dirty. The rooms are TINY unless you pay a ridiculous upgrade price (for $ 120 a night extra you could stay at an ACTUAL 4 star hotel), for the love of God there’s no way those wool blankets on the bed have ever been washed.
The shinning star of this hotel is its location. Literally a mile or so to everything and Columbus circle station is just outside your door. The 2^nd star was for this fact only.
I’m not hotel snob but I know lipstick on a pig when I see it. This hotel is still a pig no mater how much chartreuse you slap on it.
Mold, peeling walls, 1 broken and 1 totally missing lamp and the dirt, oh the dirt. They clean only what you can initially see… Don’t dare look under the bed!

I love nice, posh, luxury hotels.
The hudson hotel is not that…
We got an amazing rate for cyber monday and needed a place to basically put our head on the pillow. This was a great location and it was clean and surprisingly the shower was AMAZING. Other than that, I wouldn’t stay here if given tons of options.

We waited until 3pm for checkin. They said the room was ready but had to have a final inspection and they would call us. A half hour goes by, nobody calls, we are standing right by the desk. We go up to the desk and they say, oh the room is ready we forgot to call.
First room, key didn’t work, we have to go all the way back to the front desk from the 8^th floor where everyone is checking in at once, then the key did work but someone had already been checked in to that room! nightmare.
Another woman waited on us, acted like we were idiots by outlining her finger to the room number 8 6 2 not 8 6 8 when we had just told her the room was already occupied and she had just written us a new room key. She also said there was confusion because the prior guest already checked in to that room had a similar last name, ummm I’m sorry but Schneider does not sound like McCabe. And she also said they were experiencing technical difficulties.
We go up to the 2^nd room it’s also already occupied! Nightmare. Finally, we talk to a manager, and the first guy that «checked us in» whispers to him I already checked them in. They upgraded us to a «nicer» room but if this is nicer I don’t know what other people are getting.
While waiting in the lobby, a guy runs over to the corner I’m in and yells at a guy for closing his eyes for a bit, everyone is waiting to get into their rooms past the checkin. He yells «Are YOU OKAY SIR». And then proceeds to yell at me for having my foot up on the couch. It’s like you could say it nicer we are spending money here.
IT WAS a NIGHTMARE. We had a show to go to and missed our dinner reservation because we were racing up and down the floors trying to find a room that wasn’t occupied.
Finally we got our room. The bed is just one mattress on a stand. Everytime, you move around in it it squeaks terribly. The bed faces a curtain and on the other side is the shower and bathroom. So there is no privacy. Also, if you turn the light on in the shower the whole room lights up.
The walls are wood paneled, the floor is wood laminate. Is this some kind of over-​priced YMCA? Both walls have mirrors on them, and one of the mirrors has a tiny TV on top which awkwardly faces the side of the bed. Our room looks out to other rooms. What an amazing upgrade.
Originally, they told us we would be receiving a $ 15 food credit and then after we had to go through the rooms occupied debacle they «gave us» a $ 50 food credit but I don’t know where that credit is. Do we just take their word for it?
Also, with the system experiencing problems we basically had access to two other groups of people’s stuff since we were given access to already occupied rooms. If we weren’t nice people and would have stolen things from there, that would have been really bad for the hotel.
The restaurant looks great and so does the lobby. Someone did a really good job designing those. The overall pattern in the elevator gave me frightmares and the hotel room doors look like they belong in a gym. The shower heads are not the good rain kind. And the curtain in the shower doesn’t go all the way to the floor so it’s easy to get water all over the place. Also, the wifi is free but terribly slow.
It looks like this hotel spent all their money on the lobby and said screw the rooms. We stayed at the Morgan’s Hotel, which is owned by the same company and loved it, so this was a real disappointment in comparison. There are plenty of hotels in New York, choose a different one!

The Hudson Hotel was an interesting experience to say the least. We booked the hotel reservation based on the recommendation from a business partner, so I figured it was a pretty safe bet.
We were coming from La Guardia, so the drive there was pretty long. But when we got to the hotel, which is in the center of Manhattan, we noticed that we were a few blocks from Time Square and around the corner from Central Park! So if you’re a tourist looking to explore, then this is a great place to stay.
When you arrive at the hotel, you go through the front doors, then up this eclectic escalator that is bathed in neon green light, which leads you to the lobby. The lobby is quite the conversation piece itself. There are long wooden planks for flooring, a grand crystal chandelier, and plenty of fake green vines that cover an all glass roof. Overall, the look of the lobby is pretty frickin’ cool.
The check in process was pretty seamless as well. There is a $ 21 amenity fee that you pay per night in order to use the wifi (which doesn’t work well, or at all to be honest) and the hotel gym. But otherwise from that you get a $ 15 meal/​drink credit to your room per night if you want to spend it. It’s a good deal, but it’s just a ploy to get you down to the bar to spend more of your own money. It didn’t work on me, but it definitely worked on the people I was with! Ha!
Once you’re done checking in you head to the row of elevators, which are some of the slowest ones I’ve seen. Granted there are over 20 floors that they have to travel through, but still! You’ll always encounter a line to get on one of them.
So after the elevator shenanigans, I got to check out my room (cough, cough, I mean closet!). Wow. I know New York has limited space, but man, this room was miniature size! You walk into a tiny hallway, a bathroom the size of a port-​o-​potty and a bedroom that is as large as a king size bed! If you’re rooming with someone, make sure you like being close to them, because staying in these rooms will allow you to get to know them in ways you never thought possible– including understanding their bathroom habits, as there is a large window that allows you to see into the bathroom, blocked only by a sheer white curtain.
To give more details about the room… The bed was clean and comfortable; there were no bed bugs present– hallelujah! The floor is fake hard wood, so it’s clean as well. There were some cool lights in the room, which you need because the paneling in the room is DARK wood, so you need the extra brightness. There is a mirror behind the bed (at least in my room) which has a light underneath it. There are all the basic amenities like a fridge, safe, iron, hangers, etc. as well.
Here is where the hotel loses two stars: the bathroom. I can deal with the size of it, but I can’t deal with the cleanliness it offered. First, the grout around the base of the toilet was moldy and half way gone. This allowed water to leak out of the bottom when the toilet was flushed. Completely nasty. I don’t want to step in poop water. Thanks, but no thanks. The sink doesn’t have a stopper that you can push down. Instead there is one that you have to maneuver with your fingers in the drain. Gross. Next are the towels! I stayed there two nights, and each time I received fresh towels, there was ALWAYS body hair on them. I don’t care if it’s from someone’s head or their nether regions– I never want to see that.
But, on to some better stuff– the décor in the hotel was cool otherwise. There was a lot of old school design with very modern twists. This hotel attracts a highly international cliental, which I can see why. The bar area is cool, and allows for you to sit and enjoy conversation with your peers.
The check out process was easy as well. Overall, the hotel was nice, they just need to revamp their bathrooms and get some new washing machines for their towels!

I adore this place literally. Was here this past Friday evening w/​a girlfriend of mine. Been here a few times for bites and drinks. Large open space. Tables are first come first serve. You seat yourselves. Service is great, never a long wait. Food is decent. I love the fact that they serve WATERMELON. God I love watermelon.
I love how cozy and relax this place is. Three options you get:
1: You can sit on the benches to much and drink in such a pretty setting.
2: If your looking for a cozier setting. They have comfy couches towards the back where there is a lit fire setting.
3: There is also an outdoor /​rooftop.
It’s pretty everything about this place is pretty. Definitely not a pretentious place. People I’ve had harmless conversations with random people whom were just super laid back and funny.
Although I have to say, there bathroom needs some tidying up. It gets ehh in there.

This was THE place to stay back during the Sex & The City era. I think an episode even took place here. Fast forward about 15 years, and well, looks like this place is still standing.
I had received a collection of Morgan’s brochures in a presentation case, and this property had the most appealing photoset. One of my bosses’ stayed here during a convention, and she was pleased with this place as well, so I knew it would have to be somewhat decent if it was good enough for her.
After climbing up that blazing fluorescent escalator, the check-​in line was short while desk service was straight and to the point, but not unpleasant. The Single was good enough for me, and as expected, it was small but not nearly as small as my experience at the Paramount (which was after this stay). I had a desk, bathroom, and bed, which was all I required. Back then, the bathroom amenity was ‘agua spa’. I don’t remember if they had an actual agua spa here at this location, but this brand dominated Morgans Hotel’s at this time.
Didn’t get a chance to enjoy their actual bar (with the log bench and the underlit floor, where EVERYONE looks good), but the Library bar was nice; definitely more masculine in design, and I was visiting when you could still smoke (shocker!) so there were mostly men doing just that. Needless to say, I didn’t stay long.
A nice surprise was the following day when a friend and I went to the 15^th floor ‘roof’ terrace. We happened to have it all to ourselves for some odd reason, since it was the makings of a really nice day. We just took advantage of some of the lounge chairs and caught up for about an hour, and only one person visited during that time, who happened to be an employee and that was it. As I recall, this area was spacious, and really relaxing; not something I would have expected smack in the middle of midtown. Enjoyed this to the fullest.
Check-​out for the most part was a breeze, the only complaint being was that I had $ 10 ‘miscellaneous charge’ to my room from the mini-​bar (I honestly did not use anything from there). Girl took it off but told me, ‘It’s only $ 10′ in kind of a joking way. Only if you’re paying for it, sweetheart.
Nice to experience, but moving along–

una real porqueria las habitaciones
no se dejen llevar por el lobby y el bar
una s$~£]#it

Great location and gorgeous lobby and bar. Attractive patio. Friendly staff. Room well appointed although mysteriously for the target market not enough outlets for chargers.
AC unit in my room very noisy. Breakfast priced high… And paper cups? At 325 per night I want porcelain around my coffee!
A feeling that this is still rough around the edges… Lots of promise.

This one has location and cost-​effectiveness going for it. It’s immediately across from the Columbus Circle subway and the Time Warner Center with all its dining and shopping options. It’s also an easy walk to Central Park. The hotel itself is serviceable, though the rooms are New York-​small and feel it. This is not a place to lounge. (The bed is basically your only option, though there is a chair at the narrow desk. You’d better not have a big lunch though if you want to slide the chair out and sit in it because the bed is right behind you.) The bathroom was clean, but the sleeping area could have used some dusting attention. As a note, ice is in the cabinets right off the elevators and the ice buckets are located there and not in the rooms.
Plus points for efficient service – I was an early check-​in and wanted to get into a room and put my stuff up because I was going to be gone all afternoon and evening. They made that happen, for which I was very grateful. I also like the lobby, with its ballroom-​in-​the-​forest feel. The lobby is up an escalator off the street entrance (which you will not find by looking for the hotel name – look instead for the row of green-​tinted windows at the end of the 58^th St. block away from Columbus Circle).
I wasn’t a huge fan of the restaurant and Library Bar spaces. The bar was very crowded on a Wednesday night and the restaurant had some sort of odd process whereby you place an order at a window, then wait and try to find somewhere to sit at a communal table. People were taking far too long to order, so I gave up on that. The bar within the restaurant was stand-​up, so I gave up on that as well and just went over to the Whole Foods at Time Warner to grab a bite. I think there were some outdoor spaces not quite open for the season yet at the Hudson, so perhaps in warmer weather some of the pressure is relieved.
All in all, this place will do in a pinch and they run some pretty frequent discounts on their website, so it is worth investigating if you need to stay in this area of Manhattan.

The Hudson Hotel is a beautiful hotel. Gorgeous, stylish, modern. I booked the single room at approximately $ 150 per night as of March 2015. Beware though — the room is pretty tiny. The single room that I was in totaled 136 square feet, which still managed to fit a queen size bed, desk, small closet space, and bathroom! My only complaint really was the bathroom. The space between the toilet, sink, and shower as non-​existent for me to move around. The shower itself was pretty large.
There are several places to eat and drink at this hotel:
— Hudson Common — beer hall and burger joint
— Tequila Park — mexican food (open seasonally)
— Sky Terrace — ten specialty sangrias (open seasonally)
— Putt Putt Park — pop-​up mini golf
— Library Bar — bar with atmosphere similar to old English club
— Hudson Lodge — urban ski resort themed bar (open seasonally)
There is an extra charge for «urban resort fee» of $ 19.95 per accommodation per night. Also pet friendly for $ 100 per pet.
ENJOY!

For the money I paid, the size of the room was perfect. Sure it was small but other than that, everything was good.
Negatives: one of my towels was dirty. See pictures. The bathroom was so tiny you couldn’t hardly turn around. You step out of the shower and you’re almost in the toilet. The walls are THIN. You can hear music, TV, and conversations through the walls. One of the lamps on the side of my bed didn’t work so only half the room lit up…
Pros: clean room other than the towel, price was great, staff was friendly other than the female who answered the room service phone line, modern clean look, bed was super comfortable, easy check out through the tv, toiletries in the room were high quality, location couldn’t have been much better!
They charge you $ 15 that can be directed towards food and beverage. Make sure to use it otherwise they keep it! I ordered dinner and a drink at the restaurant downstairs. Yum!
All in all, I loved it and would go back for the price. Wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever experienced but the positives outweighed the negatives for me.
(Side note: Hudson Commons restaurant downstairs was okay but the bartenders were unproductive. Food was good but burger was way undercooked.)

There is a really good reason this hotel always has inexpensive deals: it’s terrible.
Upon checking in you are promptly notified you will be charged a $ 20 resort fee. PER NIGHT. This means if you don’t use any of the amenities (internet, etc.), you’re essentially forking over $ 20 for absolutely no reason.
The rooms are SMALL. I mean SMALL. I posted a picture of mine, and the room was so small there was no place other than the wall next to the bed to mount the TV. This means craning your neck around to see the TV, which is uncomfortable at best. Now, I get it — it’s Manhattan and of course rooms are going to be small. But I’ve stayed at many other places in the city (Hampton Inn, Sheratons, the Westin, etc.) and this place really takes the cake. The small room I can overlook, the bed on the other hand, I cannot.
The bed feels like the sofa bed you’re stuck sleeping on when you go home for Thanksgiving because your great aunt’s blind-​but-​loveable 17 year old collie inexplicably needs your real bed to sleep on. The Hudson’s bed has no box spring, so you really do feel each and every metal bar on the bedframe. Get ready for a terrible night’s sleep.
On to the bathroom… Folks, I’m barely 5’2″ and my knees squished against the wall while I used the commode. Heaven help you if you are even a centimeter taller than that. The bath products were Malin & Goetz which are luxurious, so that’s a plus. My particular room did not have a tub, just a shower which was fine. One thing to note, the shower has a window that looks into the room, so make sure the room’s curtain is drawn shut or else anyone staying with you will have a full show! (Or maybe you want that, I dunno?)
In summary, don’t stay here. There are plenty of other hotels and airbnb’s in this gigantic city that will offer you a much better deal.

I am giving this hotel a 5 because it’s the best deal in nyc for the price. Great rooms-​small but hey your in manhattan what do you want for under 200? Tastefully furnished, awesome toiletries, good channel selection, great wifi signal. The breakfast is a but unorthodox-​you stand in line and order food from a counter. The food is delicious. They have several great bars and lounges. Really good selection of booze.
It’s the spot where a lot of fabulous people come to party. The spaces are really cool and lush.
I’m all in!

Para ser Manhattan no está mal 287 $ por noche.
Esta limpio y bien ubicado. Mucho ruido de máquinas en el patio interior y ascensores en los pasillos.
El sábado fiesta en la terraza, mal para dormir sin tapones.

Pro: Tolles Ambiente, besonders in der Lobby und im Bar Bereich. Die Zimmer sind modern und komfortabel eingerichtet. Der Preis ist relativ hoch, aber für ein Hotel in dieser Lage absolut fair. In NY muss man das nun mal einplanen. Die Lage so nah am Central Park ist schon super. Auch viele New Yorker Sehenswürdigkeiten liegen in der Umgebung.
Contra: Die Zimmer sind winzig! Man muss halt wissen, dass in New York alles winzig ist, was gemietet wird, aber hier hat man wirklich kaum Platz für etwas außer schlafen und umziehen.
Fazit: Alles in allem ist das Hotel klasse und wenn man sich von den winzigen Zimmern nicht abschrecken lässt, findet man hier ein tolles Hotel für ein paar schöné Tage in New York.

Ich war letzte Woche da. Das Hotel ist recht stylisch und hat einen gewissen Charme. Allerdings sind die Zimmer wirklich extrem klein. Am Anfang dachte ich es stört mich nicht, am zweiten Tag fand ich es dann doch ziemlich unangenehm, obwohl ich bislang eigentlich keine Platzangstprobleme hatte. Am nervigsten war aber das Fenster. Obwohl es geschlossen war hatte man das Gefühl es wäre auf. Für den Preis kann man in NYC nicht viel erwarten und so ist dann auch.

Lage gut, Personal sehr freundlich.
Wie die anderen Berichte schon darlegen, extrem kleine Zimmer ohne Schrank.
Doch die Location macht einiges wett.
Zu empfehlen.

Ein tolles modernes Hotel. Durch und durch ein geiles Konzept. Ein kritikpunkt sind die kleinen Zimmer, aber wer verbringt seine zeit in New York i
Hotel Zimmer? Ich würde immer wieder das Hudson Buchen. Toll!!! Man fühlt sich in diesem Hotel wie in einem Club. Das ist Big Apple style. 5 Sterne.

Sehr stylisches Hotel. Super Lage. Lobby, Bar, bibliothek ein echter Hingucker. Nicht zu vergessen, die tolle Terasse.
Zimmer sind klein, was allerdings für NY nicht anders zu erwarten ist.
Es ist sehr sauber und der Service ist gut.
Am besten früh reservieren, da sehr beliebt und nicht sehr günstig.

Ich kann die guten Bewertungen des Hotels nicht verstehen. Die Lobby und die Bar sind wirklich schön gestaltet, aber das war es auch schon.
Die Zimmer sind klein. Und ich meine wirklich klein. Auch für New Yorker Verhältnisse. Um das Bett rum hat man keinen halben Meter, so dass große Taschen immer im Weg sind und dafür sorgen, daß man sich verrenken muss, sobald man irgendwo hin will.
Das allerschlimmste sind jedoch die Klimaanlagen. Diese befinden sich direkt über den Kopfteil des Bettes und machen richtig krach. Wenn diese also nachts läuft, wacht man des Öfteren von diesem Krach auf und dies vor allem mit Kopfschmerzen. Man kann sie natürlich auch auslassen. Allerdings ist die Luft im Zimmre aufgrund der Größe innerhalb von 2 bis 3 Stunden verbraucht, so dass man auch davon aufwacht. Unsere Lösung hieß ohne Klimaanlage einschlafen, nach 2 — 3 Stunden aufwachen wegen verbrauchter Luft, Klimaanlage einschalten, weiterschlafen, nach 2 — 3 Stunden aufwachen wegen Lärm, Klima anlage ausschalten und das Spiel von vorne beginnen.
Es gibt natürlich noch die alte europäische Methode des Fensteraufmachens. Dies lässt sich jedoch lediglich ca. 10 cm nach oben bewegen und sich vor allem nicht feststellen. Das macht auch nichts, denn wir hatten ein Zimmer in den Innenhof, in den nicht nur unsere Klimaanlage gerichtet war, sondern ca. weitere 150 Stück (für jedes Zimmer, das nach hinten gerichtet war). Ein prächtiges Hörspiel!
Besonders sauber ist das Hotel auch nicht. Wegen des schummrigen Lichts auf dem Gang fällt dies jedoch nicht so auf.
Es gibt weit bessere Hotels in dieser Preisklasse. Die Lobby kann das auch nicht retten.

Habe Silvester in NYC gebucht und dieses mal im Hudson, war zuerst ein bisschen erschrocken, da man von außen nicht erkennen kann, das dies nun das Hotel sein soll, sehr coole, beleuchtete Rolltreppe zur Rezeption, aber dann kam das staunen, riesiger Tresen, super nettes Personal, ist aber hier in NYC üblich, Zimmer super klein, war mir sogar als Alleinreisende ein bisschen im Weg. Aber sehr sauber, es riecht alles frisch, dafür kann man sich sehr gut im restlichen Hotel aufhalten, Sitze gerade im Billard Room mit Kamin und Bar, sehr angenehmer Aufenthaltsort zum Entspannen. Hotel ist super zentral, alles was man braucht in unmittelbarer nähe, selbst ein Supermarkt, 4 Sterne nur, wegen des kleinen Zimmers.

Wir waren im frühen Dezember im Hudson Hotel… es ist einfach ein sehr cool gestyltes Hotel mit Top-​Service. DieZimmer sind zwar winzig aber sehr schön und für den Städtereisenden vollkommen ausreichend. Lage ist Top — Broadway, Central-​Park und viele Sehenswürdigkeiten leicht zu Fuss erreichbar. Kann es echt empfehlen… von mir 4Sterne!

Sehr cooles Design, ok Zimmer (klein aber funktional). Aber das ist in New York ja häufig so. Die Gänge sind sehr dunkel. Sehr gut die Dachterrasse und die Bar. Super die Lage. Ganz in der Nähe des Central Parks. Und cooles Publikum. Ist etwas für Leute, die gerne Designhotels mögen.

Wir waren im Januar für eine Woche im Hudson und sind sehr zufrieden gewesen. Die Zimmer sind klein aber völlig ausreichend und wer will in NY auch schon im Zimmer sitzen?! Die Reinigung klappte auch jeden Tag gut und die super zentrale Lage konnte für uns auch nicht besser sein. Preislich und optisch wirklich ein sehr gutes Hotel.

Le hudson est connu pour sa dimension humaine en comparaison avec les importantes chaînés. Si, tout comme moi, vous aimez l’esprit et l’ambiance des hotels modernes et design, vous né pourrez qu’être seduit par le Hudson.

L’hotel est assez moderne décoré par starck.
Ca en fait un lieu très agréable avec un coin afterwork assez cosi avec des canapés en cuir, un billard et divers livres sur la mode et new york.
Le restaurant est assez sympa mais un peu cher rapport qualité prix.
Il y a un club auquel vous avez accès le soir tres branché et très chouette.
Gros point noir même avec une chambre luxe la taille est ridicule. A peine plus grand que la taille du lit, il faut presque enjamber les toilettes pour aller dans la douche.
Je sais que lorsque on va a new york on passé pas sa journée dans la chambre mais c’est un peu petit. Alors que deux etoiles

Absoluter Hammer. Cooles Design. Sehr gute Lage. Etwas kleine Zimmer aber in NY fast normal.
Tolle Party-​Warm-​up-​Location!

New York, i.e. Manhatten. Aufregendster Platz der Welt.
Alle wollen hin, wir auch. Fünf Wochen bevor lt. Flugplan unsere Boeing 747 in einem weiten Bogen über den waldreichen Bundesstaat New York nach Newark in New Jersey einschweben wird, hatten wir noch kein Hotel.
Erstmals hatte ich erwogen, B&B in einer Weltstadt zu testen, leider muss auch dafür ein enormer Vorlauf eingeplant werden, i put you on the waiting list, that is all i can do for you at the moment, leider alles belegt.
Es kamen dann ein paar Hotels in Betracht, enorm viele blieben unbekannt und wurden quasi erst entdeckt als wir in der Stadt an ihnen vorübergingen.
Das Hudson hatte ein Special, eine einladende Website, lag nah zum Broadway und dem Central Park, alles lief online, Zimmer war bestätigt und sogar bei dem Versuch NFL Karten für ein Spiel der NY Jets zu bekommen, war man behilflich.
Das Hudson ist ein Design-​Hotel, so toll designt, dass draussen kein Namensschild die gestylte Fassade stört. Braucht es natürlich auch nicht, weil es jeder Taxifahrer kennt.
Das rotgeklinkerte Hudson hat 1.000 Zimmer, ist nur 15. Stockwerke hoch und hat sogar Fenster, die man — wie man es aus US-​Filmen kennt — hochschieben kann.
Die Taxitür fliegt auf, Hello, sir, my name is Charlie, how are you, sir, whenever I can be of any support, please let me know, Charlie bekommt ein paar Dollar, der Taxifahrer auch, das Gepäck einen Träger und wir fahren mit der Rolltreppe zur Lobby im 2. Floor. Da ist sie wieder, die legendäre Dienstleistungsgesellschaft der Vereinigten Staaten.
Die Lobby, aber eigentlich das ganze Hotel, ist stets in ein Halbdunkel gehüllt, die Lichter extrem gedimmt, dazu kommt das dunkle, sehr schöné Holzinterieur, das vor allem Tresen und Böden belegt. Dazu läuft überall gut hörbare Musik.
Hinter dem Empfangstresen ist eine gigantische Glasscheibe, die den Blick in den offenen Innenhof, den Private Park, freigibt. Abends trinke ich dort ein Bier, es gibt leider nur Lite-​Bier oder Corona, wer ein Zimmer zum Innenhof hat, wird vor 1 h nachts kaum in den Schlaf finden.
Unser Zimmer ist kompakt, aber absolut groß genug, die Betten sind prima, frische Leinenbettwäsche riecht gut und lädt auch in der Stadt, die niemals schläft, zum Träumen ein. Die Abstimmung von Lampen, TV etc. ist wohl durchdacht. So gefällt mir Design ganz gut, es geht nicht auf Kosten der Geborgenheit/​Wärme, ist trotz moderner Formen durchdacht. Dunkles, appetitliches Holz am Boden, kein Eisschrank, dafür größere Spiegel. Nein, nicht an der Decke.
Was in diesem Zimmer nicht ist, aber nicht fehlt, sind die in vielen Hotels obligatorischen Tische und Stühle an denen nie jemand sitzt. Dieser Platz ist konsequenterweise dann auch eingespart worden. Das Bad ist i.O., nicht besonders erwähnenswert, vielleicht der Wasserdruck, hier im 6. Stock ist er vergleichbar mit dem steten Tropfen, der die Haut dann auch irgendwann durchnässt. Im 14. Stock werden die Gäste möglicherweise gesandstrahlt
Zum Frühstück, wer in New York ist, kann kaum in einem Hotel frühstücken, muss raus, auf die Straße, irgendein Diner oder Frühstücksrestaurant finden, die es an fast allen Ecken gibt. Kaffee satt, Pancakes, French Toast, Eier in jeder Menge gibt es aus der Hoteltür z.B. 50m links. Auf Barhockern sitzt man, futtert, ist New Yorker und schaut auf das bunte Treiben, dass vor der großen Scheibe wie Frühstücksfernsehen abläuft.
Famos ist die Dachterrasse, Skyterrace im 15. Stock, verschachtelt, loungige Sessel und Stühle, fette Pflanzen, hier und da eine Hängematte und Manhatten und der offene Himmel zum Greifen nah.
Hier gibt es dann zum Blick auch mal ein Peroni, leckeres italienisches Bier aus der Flasche.
Wir hatten Glück, Anfang Oktober war es tagsüber noch rund 25 Grad warm, abends frisch, aber schön. Ab Ende Oktober wird die Terrasse bis Frühling geschlossen.
Der nächste Häuserblock gen Westen ist der Beginn von Hells Kitchen, was ohne besondere Bedeutung für diese Geschichte ist, aber der Name hat mir so gut gefallen, dass ich ihn erwähnen musste.
Fazit: nettes Hotel, stylish, aber völlig unaufgeregt und easy, so auch das internationale Publikum zwischen 25 — 50 Jahren. Der Central Park ist einen Steinwurf entfernt, alle anderen Ziele, z.B. MoMa, Rockefeller Center oder Times Square leicht zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Nächstes Mal, wenn es denn eines gibt, versuche ich aber Bed & Breakfast an der Upper East Side
