“Perfect Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

We stayed here for 3 nights. The location was perfect, a block from Canal St, and within walking distance of Little Italy, Soho and Chinatown. There is no breakfast room in the hotel but the Landmark Diner across the road serves excellent food at a great price, and staff very friendly. The hotel was clean, beds comfy, and staff helpful. We would stay here again definately! Thanks Solita!!

Room Tip: We paid slightly more for a corner room, gave us a bit more space and nice view from our 8th floor r...

“Perfect hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

I just got back from Solita after a five day stay and I can't say nothing else that that this is a great hotel. The location in perfect just next to the big street Broadway with a big selection of stores and shopping. The hotel itself is not that big but the rooms are nice and clean with a good view. The staff is excellent and will help you with everything you need from dinner bookings to belt you get a taxi back to the airport. They don't serve breakfast but there is a great breakfast place just across the street. I would really recomend this hotel to all you that are considering staying there. It's good value for the money and you will not be disappointed.

“Good location,very clean and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

Stayed here for five nights. The hotel is right in the centre of the action of Little Italy and Chinatown with lots of restaurants to choose from. Right beside the hotel is Le Parigot French Restaurant which is good value if you choose from the fixed price menu. They also have a Happy Hour 5-7pm with cocktails at $5. Across the street is the Landmark Diner a good breakfast choice.
Our room was clean but small, but fine for us. It had a coffee maker and safe. Bed linen is only changed on request,if you leave the request card on the bed. Our bathroom seemed to be designed for people with disabilities as it had handrails at the bath tub and toilet, only problem was that there was not enough turning space in the bedroom for a wheelchair to access the bathroom as we discovered when our daughter, who is a wheelchair user came to visit. If you can walk a few steps it is fine. There is no bar/lounge or seating area in the hotel only an ice machine and vending machine in the lobby. Being New York,of course, you will not want to spend a lot of time there any way! Our room was at the back, but we still had some traffic noise. Not only is the hotel convenient to Broadway etc, but in the other direction you can walk up to 6th Ave and then into Greenwich Village for a less touristy, more authentic NYC experience. You can go buy cupcakes from the Magnolia Bakery and pass by the Perry Street apartment used as Sarah Jessica Parker's (both from Sex and the City).

One day we had a terrible noise all day in our room, which at first the receptionist tried to blame on the construction work in the street, but it was obvious to us that it was an internal noise when we returned later that evening when the work had stopped but we still had the noise. We went again to reception and although she was a little frosty, the receptionist did arrange for maintenance to come up. He arrived promptly and very quickly discovered that the noise was due to an airlock in the plumbing of an adjacent room, which he fixed very quickly. This was our only negative experience.

We would stay here again any time especially if you can get a good deal like we did. It is well run with good staff and the manger Alan Chan is excellent.

Thank you for your comments. Guests like you are the reason why we love what we do. Thank you for taking the time to write all the positive things about the hotel and the area.
I apologize for the internal pipe noise but am glad that my engineering department was able to get the problem resolved quickly.

“Great little SOHO Hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 24, 2012

Stayed here recently while on vacation. Was only here two nights.

The stay was great, the room was more than adequate for the two of us. Had a great view of the Police Dept building, and outside we were steps away from great shopping on Broadway. Little Italy and Chinatown were very close too.

Housekeeping left a bit to be desired, there was permanent marker on the wall in the bathroom and some narly stain on the lamp shade.

Would stay here again!

Room Tip: Higher floors give you better sight!

“Great Location, Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2012

Loved this hotel in Soho! Stayed here for 6 nights during the heatwave around the East Coast and it was great. As you step out from the hotel, a block to your left is Lower Broadway (shopping) and to your right is Little Italy and Chinatown.

The rooms are small but comfortable, especially the bed - perfect for couples though, if you want a bit more space try get the corner rooms.

The two women that were at Reception while we were there were very helpful and friendly, unfortunately when we first checked in the man behind the counter (Not Peter) didn't seem very happy, quiet and not someone I'm used to that I usually would expect to be behind the counter of a hotel, although he was knowledgable and gave good advice.

All in all, great hotel for small groups and perfect location!

Room Tip: Corner suites are bigger
