If you are after a good value mid-range hotel that has just the key essentials but is well located in manhattan, then this is a good option. Not the best option for an extended stay in real comfort but well suited to a few days of touring NY. Our room was small but always very clean and included the key... more

Stayed there three times already because there is no other hotel with this combination of location and value for the money. Rooms are small, but functional (bed, chair, sink, TV, small desk/drawer, no real closet). Shared baths are cleaned several times a day. Subway station is one block away. Grocery, restaurants close by on Lexington Ave. more

I was very worried about staying here and almost rebooked due to the stories of bed bugs. I was very pleasantly surprised by the stay. The hotel is very small and I think that as Americans we have become accustomed to sprawling hotels with many areas to relax an so forth. This is a very old building and built for... more

We stayed 3 nights in this hotel. When we came into the room, we were happy about it. Because of the bed bug stories, I fist checked the matrass for any signs, luckily there were none. The shared bathrooms were always very clean and we never had to stand in line. The location is also perfect. I would choose this... more

We spent 5 nights here and were a little worried what we would get. We had opted for shared bathroom to save some money. We were pleasantly surprised by the room. Not as small as we had expected in fact the one we had was quite spacious. The shared bathroom was spotlessly clean and was always available when we wanted... more

When i booked this hotel, i did not expect a lot, it was realy cheap 119 cnd per night. I was realy supprised. The room was super clean and so was the shared w.c. For sure the elevator was realy small, you feeled a bit squezed in the small corridor and it's in desparate need for a major decorating investment... more

Location was great, but service was not. Asked for a wake up call, which never arrived and caused me to miss my bus to Boston. Hallways felt cramped and how can a hotel in New York City not carry CNBC on their televisions? more

I stayed here for 4 nights and my first impression was good. A clean hotel and good location. We booked a double room with shared bathroom and there were two bathrooms in the hallway. Bathrooms were clean and got cleaned every day. The room was ok size, with a TV, Air con and sink. The room felt very old but... more

My mother and I stayed at Hotel 31 for 3 nights in late April 2009. We are easygoing travellers who often stay at hostels or other basic accommodations - we're aware of the high cost of hotels in NYC, and were expecting nothing more than clean and reasonably maintained accommodations. After the first night, however, we decided we had to... more
