It’s a unique place. Room is comfortable, but sparse. Good for sleeping and changing clothes, but too small for much else.

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff and housekeeping. Pretty good location near little Italy and a lot of little shops and cafes. The nearest subway station, Grand, is a bit dodgy around the outside. The room was clean and newly refurbished, with comfortable beds and big windows. The only thing I would suggest if you are a female staying there is to bring a lighted makeup mirror. The lighting in the room is fairly dim and moody, so we ended up having to turn on our phone flashlights to get ready to go out in the evening. Overall nice hotel and would be happy to stay there again.

The room we stayed in, 314 was horrific. Water stains on the ceiling, paint capping on the walls everywhere, rust and mold in the bathroom. No decor, just beds in a room. No artwork, not style. Certainly not like the online photos.

This room has good rooms, and then it has bad run down rooms. We got there around 1 pm and were told if we wanted to get into our room early we had to pay an extra $30, even though it was ready. Our view was horrendous, ceiling had water stains from a leaking ceiling, a light bulb as a chandelier, no artwork other than the chipping paint off the walls and rusting out pipes in the bathroom along with mold on the trim of the tub and an old beat up shower curtain. I certainly expect Ted more from the photos and reviews. I also rented a second room for friends that were joining and their room was really nice, so I guess we just grabbed the short straw.

I liked this hotel because it felt very NYC to us. It wasn't your basic Holiday Inn with your typical lobby. It was eclectic and fun, but warm and inviting. I also liked that, as a family of five, we could get a room with three actual beds (highly unusual anywhere). Coffee service in the morning was nice, but very limited (no creamer, no Splenda). Rooms are small, but so is everything in NYC. For the price and the cuteness and the easy access to everything including a subway stop/Little Italy/Chinatown/Soho, I would definitely stay here again. I did bring a noisemaker per other's comments about the noise and I do think that was a good choice. This is NYC after all!

This was exactly what my family of five needed. I decent bed to sleep in. The lobby, service and coffee/tea available are great. While in NYC we were gone all day and basically there to hang out for a short while in the evening and sleep. The rooms are nothing special beds/tv/ basic bath but that is all we needed. There is a spot to hang out play games (my boys played chess while eating ice cream every evening).

The Sohotel was in the perfect area of NYC. Super close to Chinatown and Little Italy. Tons of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant that is attached to the hotel has an extensive selection of Tequila and Mezcal. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. A MUST STAY!!!

Convenient location and friendly staff. The public areas were nice. The bed in the room was cheap and uncomfortable, and I could hear everything the guy next door did, including getting in from a night of partying at 3:30 in the morning.

I liked the location and ease of parking most of all, so important for us! There is no refrigerator, iron, or microwave in the room but that’s ok considering it’s Manhattan. I used to live in the City and expect quaint living spaces. The room was quite cozy for me and my family (4 total). However, the walkability to Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, etc. made up for the lack of space. Beds were comfy and overall, I would book again.

I loved this hotel! Stayed overnight with a couple friends and it was perfect. Very good location close to many other things. The room was very spacious with mini fridge heat and AC. Interior was eye catching and unique. Staff was unbelievably helpful. Only thing is the utilities in the bathroom were a little outdated and obviously have been through some wear and tear. Still functional though. Overall, would definitely stay here again.

Expedia has this property rated as a 4 star. It is not. It is a 3 star as per their own website. We booked a "junior suite" for 3 times the price of a regular room. It was just a regular room. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR. Our room turned out to be on the 4th floor. The gentleman who checked us in offered to help with our bags and then disappeared. No staff really visible or available during our stay. No phones in rooms, so to try to contact the front desk,you use your phone to call the main number. No coffee in rooms. No robes, no slippers, no q-tips, no duvet covers, no housekeeping unless you request it (we did not). Decor is Love Island meets 1980's Goth, but not in a good way. Really dim lighting hiding a lot of chipped paint/deferred maintenance. Our bathroom was nice and I liked the underfloor heating, but no soap dishes are provided so when you open a soap it is just soggy, sticky on the sink. The black "grout" between the tiles in the shower came off on my washcloth. The shampoo/conditioner and body wash are good quality. There is TV, gets about 12 chanels. The TV guide does not work, but it was fairly easy for us to "cast" from our phones and tablets.

I enjoyed my stay here! The room was a tiny bit small for 4 people (stayed in the standard 2 queen room) and the property looked good, you can tell everything isn't like brand new but that's cool with me. Not in a quiet area, I would stay here if you're going out in the city, but maybe not with kiddos. I would come back. Staff was really nice.

Good location, not good hospitality
The location & hotel design are impeccable, but the service is severely lacking. I booked this hotel based on the “valet parking for $75/night” and that is completely inaccurate as told to me, quite rudely, by the front desk staff. They blamed hotel.com and directed me to a lot 3 blocks away—unaffiliated & uncovered, which came to over $100. Also, I had arrived pretty early—around 11—and understandably couldn’t check in. However, I had seen a loong line of people checking out so when I came back at 3, just one hour before check-in, I was told my room still wasn’t ready. This hotel is pretty, clean & in a great location, but I would not recommend if you want to experience TRUE hospitality.

The hotel has a great website. We got into our room on the main floor and it was a closet. The bathroom was tiny and very dated and unpractical. The heat did not work in our room and they said they could not fix until the next day. We left after one night of our 4 night stay and asked for a refund.

Unprofessional front desk
I’ll say that everyone working at this hotel was so perfectly lovely and helpful EXCEPT for the gentleman with glasses at the front desk who was the most absolutely unprofessional and rude person I’ve encountered in recent memory. I had called and requested and confirmed early check in the day prior to my stay as we were traveling with 4 children including an infant who needed to be fed and changed. The hotel did not have it on record at our arrival. Instead of helping, this man began screaming at me and “refused service,” walking away and leaving us at the front desk with no direction or resolution until another kind employee stepped in and resolved the situation in mere minutes. It was a totally bizarre encounter. We will not return or recommend this hotel.
