excellent! The location is good and the price is decent! The landlord is a very nice and kind person. It is more like a home than a hostel, it was a surprise for all of us! We stayed in NYC for about 6 days, the location is good. There is a subway station 2 blocks away, you can take the... More

This place is beautiful and Bert is probably the nicest person in NYC :) Love that you get use of a full kitchen (and washer/dryer). This is great for breakfasts and late night snacks. Room was quite large. Typical small NYC bathroom. All very nice. My only complaints? You can hear other guests coming and going (door slams), lots of... More

I too can't speak highly enough of Bert. Great welcome as soon as we pulled up in Town Car out the front. Had downstairs garden apartment and found it to be warm, clean and spacious with own private bathroom. Kitchen facilities upstairs great of making toast and coffee - you could cook, but hey your in New York so explore!... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Chic & Budget Garden Apartment 127 for three nights this past weekend. Like the other reviews here have noted, Bert is absolutely great! He spent quite a bit of time talking to us at check in, explaining the subway system, recommending restaurants and attractions, etc. Likewise, when we checked out, we talked with... More

Bert was incredible. Knowledgeable, charming, kind and very accomodating. I stayed here and thought the location superb, so close to the subway and then on the express downtown route too. There is a huge supermarket nearby as well as most other things you might need! All in all, I couldnt fault this - excelelnt value for NYC, great location, so... More

I have recently returned from my 3rd stay at Chic n Budget NYC. My 1st stay was in Apartment 132 and the last 2 were at the 127 Guest House. My 1st stay at 127 was in the Double Room and on my last trip I was in the Master Room. All were very clean and comfortable. Bert is a... More

My partner and I stayed at Chic&Budget for 2 weeks in June 2009. Hosts were friendly, helpful and had heaps of local knowledge. We had the large parlour room on the main floor overlooking the back garden. It was spacious, comfortable and very clean and the room was just as pictured in their web advertisments. The other guests like us... More

I am a college student which usually means money is extremely tight. NYC is already expensive in many areas, but I was lucky to find this cute guesthouse. I have stayed here twice and it has been a great stay both times I must say. I believe I have stayed here about three to four nights both times I have... More

Our stay in the CHIC & BUDGET was really great. The rooms were very clean, the bed was super comfortable, the kitchen was well equiped. Bert was really helpful and gave us great tips. We could even use his cellphone. The atmopshere was familiar and the price was also good. The location was ok, we had to walk 10 minutes... More
