“Excellent location and staff, but needs better housekeeping”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

What a nice little well-priced hotel! As others have said, very nice and friendly staff, requests quickly responded to, tiny rooms, but OK, the only reason we would reconsider staying here is the cleanliness, which is an issue! I hope they get this under control since otherwise a good place to stay in Soho.

“It's all about location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

Location was the prime factor in my choice of Solita Soho and what a great location it turned out to be! Absolutely perfect for a four night stay meeting my daughter in New York for a weekend of shopping and sightseeing but mainly shopping! Great too for eating out with an abundant choice of restaurants. The hotel is literally just rooms and our room was compact but perfectly adequate for our needs. Air-conditioning worked well and a great shower in the bathroom. My only criticism was that the room was quite dusty and needed a good hoovering which was soon remedied when I mentioned this to the front desk staff. All in all a good choice for the price-conscious traveller looking for optimum location.

Room Tip: Generally I'd always choose a higher floor.

“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.
