Fabulous

Excellent location, very close to subway station, very close to Queens and Manhattan. Spotless clean, friendly and helpful personell. Great concept loved the set up.

As there are no carpets (only concrete floors) in the room a pair of sleepers would help.

Perfect place for your NYC citytrip

Because the metro is so close by, you're in Manhattan in a jiffy. I really would stay here again instead of booking an overpriced hotel in Manhattan. If you take the subway, what do the 5 minutes extra matter.

On the pictures there seems to be a bar, but there isn't one currently. So the hotel has everything to be a cool meeting place, but it is absolutely super quiet now. Only expect vending machines.

Pleasant

Great location. Less than 5 minutes walking from a subway station. It's about 15 minutes from La Guardia airport by car.The room and facilities were okay. Good value for money.

The bathroom wasn't clean. The staff wasn't rude, but wasn't friendly either. They were just okay. They do not offer breakfast, although it seems they used to because of its facilities.

Good place for a city trip

Location, very close to subway station. Room, was okay and all the basics were there. Cool old factory building. A lot of potential. Gym was well supplied and the hotel gave good local restaurant advise

For the asked price the service could be better. You had to request for housekeeping for example. No fridge in the room. Also the place has so much potential, but there’s nothing happening. Nice courtyard, big lobby, but no breakfast or drinks are served there. Feels a bit like a remote place. Staff friendly enough, but only when you ask something. I missed pro activeness. Expected more for this price per night

Cheap enough that I'd consider staying again though lacking in amenities

Very good location: - M/R Train subway station a 1 min walk away (15 min journey to Manhattan); - A fair few bars and restaurants a 5 min walk away; - Close enough to the Queensboro Bridge to walk into Manhattan if you want to (which I recommend doing for the experience) - 7/11 round the corner for drinks/snacks Room: - Very clean and had air-con, no complaints with cleanliness at all - Great shower, very spacious

Services within the hotel: - Barebones for a '4-star' location, certainly nothing beyond what I'd expect from a 2-star - From reading other reviews it seems the bar in the lobby never re-opened since the pandemic. The only drinks you can buy within the hotel are from a vending machine on each floor, and you want to avoid American soft drinks at all costs if you value your health - At the very least, a mini-fridge in the room would have been nice to store drinks/snacks bought elsewhere if the hotel is not going to sell any itself. Room: - I had to lift open the back of the toilet and adjust the flapper upon arrival as it was not storing water to flush. Had to fix this a couple of times across my stay - Windows did not keep the noise out very well, found myself waking up a lot from vehicle noise/sirens outside - TV quite small Staff: - Barely interacted with the staff, however the person I checked in with was blunt and seemed inconvenienced by my arrival which was disappointing.

It was good, I’ve stayed at better places for that price in other places but I would stay again if I’m in NY.

Nice interior design & decor.

I could hear the next door guest snoring very loud at night. There was a lot of dust piled up in corners & bed sheets have a lot of link that visibly fly up around you when you lay down lol so, beware allergy people. The bathroom sink needed the drain unclogged, very inconvenient for washing hands/face. The toilet, I thought would overflow with just one normal flush, with not even a lot of tissue. The staff is not friendly & don’t have good attitude but that doesn’t matter to me much, I understand the NY attitude but they may rub tourists the wrong way.

Superbly-located and good value stay

Location was great - a few steps from subway to manhattan (and it's only a couple of stops on the express to midtown), and a 10 min or so walk from places to eat / drink. Bed was super comfy (except pillows) and room was a pleasant temp without a/c (I am not an a/c fan). It was surprisingly quiet too - we slept very well.

We struggled to get housekeeping - I asked repeatedly for bins to be emptied, and the only time they were was when I happened to be in the room when housekeeping came. Also the pillows are poor quality and there aren't enough of them!

modern convenient quirky place to stay near centre

it was quirky and the decoration was picked carefully to bring the former factory back.

I wish there was a bit of a coffee place or simple snack buffet at reception as it felt quite empty with a lot of unused space

Comfortable stay & perfect location for our weekend in Queens

Very cool, renovated building, clean spacious room & friendly staff. Hotel was easy to drive to with plenty of street parking. Also within walking distance from the event we were attending during our stay.

No restaurant/bar in the hotel.

Fabulous

This is a very nice hotel with generous and inviting common spaces and interesting historic detail and decor. I really enjoyed our stay there and would certainly return. The surrounding area seemed safe and offered some good options for food. Try Big Apple Eats for breakfast. We easily found street parking a block from the hotel.

Nearby train service was disrupted at night. This is in no way the fault of the hotel, but it does make for a consideration if you are visiting for easy subway access to and from the city at night. During the day, regular service was no problem. It would be nice if the hotel offered fresh coffee in the lobby in place of the individual machines with subpar coffee in each room.

A simple and no fuss overnight.

The room was spacious and creatively designed and it was quiet. Temperature in the room was ok for an overnight stay (someone mentioned a comment about this and I did g have the issue but also visited on a mild spring evening).

Although the beds were a little firm for me, I actually slept very deeply and didn’t have any issues because of it.
