I had such a wonderful stay at U Hotel! The room, hospitality and the location at this price point is an absolute steal! I did travel solo, and it felt like the room would’ve been a bit small if shared by two people, but the convenience and accessibility to the most popular NYC spots is worth it. The people too were very warm and helpful! 100% recommended.

The room was small but cozy. Enough for a short stay. Nice bathroom with big shower. Very comfortable bed. The receptionist was nice and friendly. The most important thing is the location. Close to everything.

The staff was excellent. Helpful, courteous. The room was in real disrepair. The sliding door to bath narrowly missed my toddler fall off the slider. A toddler shouldnt be able to pull a heavy door off tracks. The side table fell apart when I lifted to move it closer to bed. There were holes in the wall. The room needs to be basically safe.

I’ll start by saying the location was great. Was able to walk most places. When we arrived, the lobby was under construction, and there was literally no place to sit, and barely enough room to even talk with the “front desk”. The staff was helpful and felt bad, but I feel like a heads up would have been appropriate. The room itself was very small, but clean. No dresser, no closet. No coffee in the room. Overall, not my best NY stay.

This place is so trashy. It’s insanely loud at night. I listened to cars honking at each other all night and I could hear someone’s phone call in the next room because the walls are thin. I made the staff change the shower curtain because it smelled so disgusting. Housekeeping doesn’t come in unless you specifically request them. There is one elevator and it’s stupidly slow. You can’t open/close the room door if the bathroom door is open even a crack. There are no amenities.
This place is slightly better than serviceable.

Good location
The room was small and the bed could have been bigger, not helped by a large intrusive a/c unit. However it was spotlessly clean and the room was serviced each day. The location was perfect and reception staff friendly and helpful so overall we enjoyed our stay.

Hotel U gives you a true NY feel. Great location for a day hike to Central Park, Time Square and Madison Square Gardens and next door to the Empire State Building. Great restaurants and food carts around every corner and a 3-5min Uber ride to practically any Broadway show or high end retailer you can imagine. The tiny 200 sq. ft. room provides a full size bed and full shower and really gives you that NY ‘Tiny house’ feel. The best part, unlike many NY hotels, Hotel U allows you crack open your window so you can really experience the sounds of NY too. If you only need a quick place to shower and sleep in NY, Hotel U is clean and the right price for you. And super sweet staff at this cute boutique hotel.

En primer lugar no tenían mi hab disponible, cuando me dieron una estaba sucia, pague por desayunos y no tenían el servicio, el segundo día al llegar se comprar me encontré con una rata, en ese mismo momento tome mis pertenencias y deje el hotel. No le recomendó a nadie que vaya y puse mi queja con Expedia, mi peor experiencia en los últimos 20 años
