Having read the negative reviews I think some travellers are expecting a lot for a place that is budget. I have stayed here with the other half two years in a row and not been disappointed...great location, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms (especially as they are shared), quiet, free internet, pleasant staff, inexpensive, near underground. There were also nice other touches... more

I stayed six nights, in October, 2009. I'm in my late sixties and long ago gave up sleeping in the backs of cars, etc. I like my bathroom to be in my room when I stay in a hotel. But to save more than a thousand dollars for my week in New York I chose the Larchmont, which is located... more

I thought this hotel was in an excellent location, only a few blocks from Greenwich Ave. The bathrooms were small as well as the room itself, but what do you expect for $90/night? The little bag of toiletries (soap, shampoo, etc.) was a nice touch. Free internet access was really handy, altough there is only 1 computer available. more

The location is great but bug bites? Me too and our stay was during the first weekend of October when it was cold at night. The bathrooms seemed to be held together by caulking. They need to be completely refurbished. It was impossible to adjust the taps. So we were able to choose between a scalding or a tepid shower.... more

Very small room, no surprise there. Excellent location on quiet street in the West Village, not far from Union Square hub. Staff was friendly enough. All in all, we'd have been pleased as punch, were we not covered in insect bites. I got well over twenty nasty bites all over my body, including my face, during a four night stay.... more

We chose this hotel as it was near our son BUT would not choose it unless looking for a short stop over. The room was basic although clean with complimentary shower gel etc and fresh towels daily. There was cigarette smoke smells on the landing which showed people did not obey the signs. Reception said that some of their premanent... more

The location of this hotel is great. The staff were friendly. We awoke covered in mosquito, and other bug bites. My partner and I had literally dozens of bites between us. There was a bite on my eyelid, my forehead, between my fingers, on my feet. It was unutterably disgusting. I told the front desk about it, and they were... more

My girlfriend and I have stayed at the Larchmont for two years in a row now on holiday visits to NYC, and it absolutely fits the bill for our purposes. Being right on the doorstep of downtown and with good transport links to the midtown attractions/park etc, it is ideal. We have alway found it very safe, easy to deal... more

This is a great location and very clean for the price. more
