Stayed 5 nights for a multi-day event at Industry City so the location was perfect. Clean room (yes, they are old but it was clean and comfy!). Convenient parking out back. Staff was very kind and helpful.

We decided to utilize the small-scale event space for a very exclusive, intimate corporate dinner, and the catering team handled every minute detail flawlessly. One guest had a severe, unannounced dairy allergy, and the chef adapted two courses on the spot, ensuring she felt both safe and included in the spectacular meal. This level of professional, flexible service speaks volumes about the quality L'Hôtel maintains.

Good hotel near the Subway which takes you right into Manhatten. Room was fairly clean. My wife is allergic to dust. She asked for some extra cleaning behind the bedside tables. That helped. Big TV. Good shower. Breakfast is nothing to brag about, but that's not to be expected. We could leave our Luggage behind the front desk. Friendly lady. Night person not so much. I would recommend it as a reasonably (New York standards) priced option

The room itself was a masterclass in minimalist, high-end design, feeling airy and spacious despite its Manhattan address. I realized I had forgotten my prescription pillows, a small but important detail for my comfort. The guest services team sourced the necessary hypoallergenic alternatives and had them waiting for me within an hour, transforming what could have been a very uncomfortable trip into one of deep rest and relaxation.

As I was a bit skeptical because some of these reviews weren’t too pleasant, I have to say I did like this Hotel. It was clean, the room was a decent size, the bed was big and cozy, great service and we had no issues at all. There were complimentary breakfast in the morning which is great. Only thing is there were only bagels and muffins. They also did have a waffle maker but my spouse and I didn’t get to make any waffles as you have to wait in line and make them yourself; which is a bit time consuming when everyone wants waffles. But for the most part aside from breakfast, this is a nice hotel and we would go back.

We had a slight issue with street noise late on a Friday evening, but the front desk immediately moved us to an identical, quieter room on a higher floor without any debate or delay. The rapid resolution meant we never lost a moment of sleep and were incredibly appreciative of the staff’s proactive attentiveness. The rest of our stay, surrounded by the European design and luxury bedding, was absolutely blissful.

If you’re looking for fancy… this isn’t it. If you’re looking for budget friendly, convenient to the subway, close to downtown, small neighborhood.. this IS it. We have stayed twice and can’t wait to go back. The hotel itself is perfect for the price. The room is small, but has a microwave and refrigerator.Free parking is a huge plus. The staff is friendly. The rooms are simple but have very thing you need. The water pressure in the shower… incredible! The neighborhood is my favorite part. We love the pizza from Gravesend, We LOVE LOVE the halal chicken from the Finest Deli. We love bagels from sunset bagels. Stay here. You won’t regret it.

The room was very clean and even though it was smaller than average, it was big for NYC (iykyk). Well worth the price. Also the best hotel shower I've ever experienced. Water stayed super hot and the toiletries were a good quality. Breakfast was okay: bagels, waffles, cereal. I would have liked some kind of fruit (like a basic banana or orange) or a yogurt. Coffee was more water than coffee. But the breakfast area was very clean and quiet. The free parking is a bit of a risk because their lot fits less than 15 cars. Luckily I came on a weekend and the street parking was available. During the week there are restrictions for street cleaning. Was able to park right across the street with no incident. Walkable location with cafes and bodegas within 5 minutes to remedy the coffee issue. Would stay here again!
