Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
HGU New York is praised for its prime location, steps away from a subway stop and a short walk from Penn Station, making it ideal for exploring both uptown and downtown. Guests appreciate the comfortable and well-equipped rooms, some of which offer pleasant views of the Empire State Building from the rooftop. While most find the rooms spacious for Manhattan standards, a few guests have noted that some rooms can feel small. The hotel also features the convenient Noa Cafe.

solid stay in convenient location

superb locationmodern stylecomfortable beddamaged walls
the location was superb, close to the subway and the empire state building (i love this building!). the hotel's modern, boutique style appealed to me. i found the bed comfortable, especially the beautiful linen. the decor was neutral and pleasing.
the room had one small window, so it remained very dark throughout the day. there were also some damaged walls, likely from damp, not covered or treated. this was a little disappointing for an otherwise good stay.

The hotel location is very convenient. It is close to great food options. the room and bathroom were both a good size. i found the wifi speed to be more than adequate. samantha, a staff member, was particularly friendly and helpful .
The hallways looked a bit dingy to me. the carpet in the hallways seemed dirty and looked like it needed an upgrade. i also found the room to be very small. It was hard to walk around the king bed.
