The Washington Square Hotel in Manhattan is a quaint (small) hotel in a period building across from the famous Washington Square park that was highlighted in the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer". You can play chess with the local chess sharks. You pay them a nominal fee and they beat you but teach at the same time. Our chess playing... More

Although well kept and everything works, everything about this hotel is small and cramped. The service varies from rude to very professional, depending on the person depending on who is working the front desk. The location, however, is excellent as it is 1 block from the subway lines west of 5th Avenue and about 3 blocks from the subway lines... More

We stayed at the hotel for 4nights in November 2011. I agree with other comments that the rooms are small and a little tired BUT they are clean, the breakfast was good, the staff helpful and the area safe. We loved the vast array of coffee shops and restaurants in the area that were unique and different. The location close... More

We will return to Hotel Washington Square, as we love the area of the village. The big park there is filled with activity, chess games, students, dog walkers and squirrels. So much within walking distance: clubs, restos, shopping, neighborhoods and good times. Staff is so friendly and helpful, especially with transportation questions. True comfort, good sleep and excellent service with... More

we stayed at this hotel on December 2nd for 5 nights with Virgin Holidays. We paid for a deluxe room which from the website seems the only difference between that and superb room was you were given a view of something. We arrived after a horrendous trip through JFK. Apparently they were short staffed and we queued through security for... More

A plus with one minus. Saturday PM "concierge" less than helpful and actually unhelpful when getting a cab. Feet were not happy to be told to walk a block in the slush and party shoes to get a cab at 7pm! All other staff at all levels were excellent! More

This hotel was recommended to us by a friend, and it was lovely. We chose a small room, as we figured we'd be out and about so much it wouldn't matter, and it was fine; in fact I think the cosiness made it more special and intimate for a couple anyway. The lobby was delightful and the concierge was so... More

After paying 350 dollars a night for a deluxe queen, I was moved to a standard double because of the horrible bed with the mattress that dipped in the middle. They still charged me for the deluxe queen. After moving between rooms 2 times and still ended up with a poor bed, I decided to give up and put up... More
