Too expensive for what was offered. Two full sized beds placed right next to each other. Very noisy in the early morning hours when partiers got back from the bars. The tv didn’t work and we had to have someone come help us with it two nights in a row and the phone in the room didn’t work. Not really a hotel in my opinion

Cleanliness not so bad…but Light and timer switch non-functional in bathroom. Light in main room not functional. TV non-functional. Towel holder shelf coming off the wall. Extremely noisy interior and exterior. Hot water very uncertain.

The Gatsby is in a GREAT location...it was super convenient for what we wanted to do, and the price was nice. The staff was very pleasant and helpful (they brought us a blow dryer to use!). Our room was clean but small, and it was located in the basement. The windows were tiny, which was just as well because we were below the level of the sidewalk. There was a bit of street and sidewalk noise, but nothing terrible.

Overall, was an OK experience. The location did get rather noisy at night (even by NY standards), but it was manageable. Water pressure in the sink and shower was often low, and the hot water came and went randomly. On some days there was more hot water than others. The staff was friendly, but often neglected to keep the coffee and tea tea properly stocked, and they did not replenish the soda fridge in the 5 days that I was there. The bed's fitted sheet was too small for the mattress. It came off several times and was impossible to get back on. The room's wooden floors were not kept very clean. It was frustrating leaving the shower knowing that your feet would get dirty again almost instantly if you you need wear sandals.

We had a great stay. The property is clean and beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. A beverage room has coffee, tea and a microwave. Walking distance to so many areas, Chinatown, Little Italy and so much more. Lots of good shopping and eating all around. Whole Foods is a 3 min walk, very convenient. Not a place for you if you want quiet, a lot of noisy traffic, but it dies down by midnight. Complimentary earplugs provided! It was a fabulous stay.

No hot water. Had to run the shower for 20-30 min to get any measure of warm water. Two days it was cold water and had to skip showering. Too loud to sleep. Had to call front desk to ask other guests to be quiet. You can hear everything. There is no insulation and the noise from outside was also loud. The street noise made it nearly impossible to sleep. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone and would not stay here again for any reason.

We were pleasantly surprised that our room was quiet, even though it was in a busy neighborhood. Very close to Whole Foods and Russ and Daughters. Will stay here again when I return to NY.

Fine but very noisy inside. The elevator made a very loud humming sound when it stopped that made it hard to be in the room without going nuts. There were people in the hallway talking loudly in the middle of the night, and the maintenance in the room was mediocre. For a similar price there are deals on decent places, but this one is just cheap. The staff was excellent, things were very clean, and being next to Yonah Shimmel, Russ n Daughters, and Katz’s was phenomenal!

It is a reasonably priced hotel in the heart of non-touristy lower Manhattan. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It is not the fanciest room but who cares! You’re going to be out and about exploring the city.

The staff at this hotel was lovely, friendly and VERY informative. Loved them. What I did not love was that fact that I was put in a BASEMENT ROOM. I barely had a window. The hot water in the bathroom took at least 10 minutes to heat up before I could use it. Because I had a basement room on the corner, I heard ALL of the foot traffic. I had to take the dodgy stairs up and down cause the elevator was extremely slow. DO NOT STAY Here because you might be put in the basement rooms with barely a window.

I was surprised at how awful our room was. The curtain was off of the rod on one part and in the morning my daughter attempted to raise the shade and that was broken. the bathroom door lock was broken and i couldn’t get out of the bathroom until i worked with the lock. The finale was when we wanted to check our bags when we checked out and did not feel as though checking our bags was necessarily safe. the lady at desk wanted us to leave them in the lobby and trust her to put them somewhere out of sight. We could have done better for $500. Won’t go back. Too many other options.

Convenient and comfortable
This is a cute hotel in a convenient location. From the street you ring the bell to get in. The elevator has a loud long beep when closing, and there's a lot of street noise (but hey it is NYC) Bed was very comfortable and there was lots of natural light. The area is very walkable and fairly close to the subway station.
