The hotel had a good location, in the middle of Soho. The neighborhood is the one that i love the most in NYC. It is close to a lot great shopping, litte italy and one of my favourite restaurants. The room was very very small, but clean. The staff was ok, nothing extra, but they did their job. I stayed in a room with a veiw to the backyard. And I must say that the backyard was noisy and disgusting.
I could stay here again, but not for more than 2 days.

The hotel is well located a short walk from lots of fun shopping on Broadway. It is situated on the edge of Chinatown and an Italian area. The room was tiny, with no where to open our suitcases, or store them. Had to shove them under the desk.
That being said, the room , while cosy in size, was furnished with an excellent bed that was very comfy. We were on 4th floor and were not disturbed by the construction work taking place at the front of the hotel. I would recommend that you ask for a high floor.
There is a good Thai restaurant about a half block down towards Broadway. There is a French Restaurant next door, but we didn't like the people working there too much. Also, the food was OK, but a bit of a disappointment. The night we were there, trying to celebrate our wedding anniversary, they had the TV set on very loud, and the workers were glued to it, as the presidential debate was on. When asked to possibly turn the volume down, they didn't really bother much.

When I pay $500/night for a hotel room, even in New York, I expect a certain standard of enjoyment with #1 being a good night's sleep. Not happening at the Solita due to street construction that starts bright and early at 7:00 am with the loudest jack hammer I've ever heard and I used to live in New York so car alarms and sirens are no biggie. I received no warning at check in and when I expressed my concern the next morning to the front desk, the response was call 311, we can't move your room, and there will be nothing taken off the bill. Even without the construction, you also feel the whole building vibrate each time the subway train rumbles underneath and I was on the 8th floor! I would have stayed at the Soho Mondrian around the block, which is so much nicer for the same price, if it wasn't already sold out. The Solita lacks all charm for a SoHo boutique hotel - avoid at all costs.

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.
