1 Arlo SoHo
images
Our stayed was amazing! It was perfect for us. Don’t let the “tiny” fool you. It’s design sparked a lot of conversations between us. We admired the design and the thought it was put into every little detail. We really loved it.
2 Freehand New York



images
Such a fun hotel! Loved the vibe, decor, and hospitality. Super cute and easy access to Madison Square Park.
Beware of the SUPER bright green light on the thermostat. I had to finagle a contraption to cover it in order to fall asleep given it was basically a nightlight.
3 PUBLIC Hotel



images
If anyone out there is searching for deals for hotels and resorts browse through ʜᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴜʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ made a reservation for a resort on there and they had the absolute best rates just about anywhere!
The lounge area is fantastic. Definitely a great spot to sit down and get some work done. Good wifi, power outlets and lots of seating, including large work tables and sofas. Not very busy on a weekday.
4 Dream Downtown



images
Amazing stay. Loved every bit of the room, wish I could remember the number to book for a later date. The balcony was absolutely phenomenal! Can’t wait to go again!
5 Made Hotel



images
This hotel is beautiful. It has a nice bohemian vibe, with plants, rustic finishes and platform beds. I purchased a self care package and it was a great value for what I received. The person working the desk when I arrived was Priscilla, and she was very nice and personable. And the lounge space available was also nice and had a bohemian vibe. The negatives would be that different parts of the common areas lacked polish, like the rooftop lounge had chairs without cushions and pizza boxes on the counter. But it was a common area so maybe I arrived after a messy guest ♀️. The rooms were nice and clean and comfortable, although a bit small. They compensate for the small space by using the space very well and making the storage very streamlined. Overall, it was a nice, unique hotel at a great price, and I would stay again.
6 The Standard, High Line



images
We had a fantastic time there! Wonderful views! I already want to come back! Good room service and friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast delicious.
7 YOTEL New York



images
I loved! This is the first time I have visited the hotel and there will be a second. Very clean and hygienic. Very nice people. But, I recommend that the hotel change the televisions please. I wanted to link my cell phone to the television and did not have the opportunity to do so. You need modern TV. Other than that, everything was perfect. Thank you!
8 The Ludlow Hotel



images
I think this hotel is in an amazing location. It's near a bunch of great vegan restaurants and also the Ludlow coffee shop next door is great.
The room was pretty quiet, had an amazing bathtub and great water temperature. The bar in the hotel is also very nice and has great cocktails. Highly recommended.
9 The Roxy Hotel



images
Amazing brunch and a cozy little movie theatre that shows old and new movies for $12. Cutest movie theatre ever! Great for tourists to New York City.
10 Selina Chelsea New York City



images
I was able to stay here the last time I was in the city and I loved it. The staff was great and the room was very cute. The rates are about average compared to other places around it but overall, was a chill area to be.
11 Soho Grand Hotel



images
Went there for the weekend to celebrate my 10 year anniversary with wife. Service was awesome. The room was beautiful. The building was designed like something out of the movie John Wick. It had this whole Stanley Kubrick vibe. Awesome place and restaurants on the side. 24 hour diner. Great location. The staff was berry cool. Making this a permanent spot for my wife and I. Highly recommend it. Prices are affordable.
12 The High Line Hotel



images
Great coffee. Online order only due to covid restrictions. Order and pickup avaliable.
13 citizenM New York Times Square Hotel



images
Every single staff member I came in contact with was extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was super clean and the shower was amazing. I definitely recommend this place and if I ever come back to NYC I would stay here. It’s also in the perfect location- surrounded by everything you can think of. YOU SHOULD STAY HERE!! ❤️
14 Hotel Hugo



images
Nice place, amazing location and friendly staff. Super clean and neat. Surprisingly quiet and chill. My recommendations.
When all the renovation will be done in the area, and hopefully the crowd will be back, this place definitely will be one of the busiest.
15 The Nolitan



images
Love this place. The corner room is elegant minimalist, the beds are cant-get-out of them comfy and the peek-a-boo shower is a sexy touch. The prices are totally in line. The real gold here, though, is the staff, they are exactly the faces you want to see after a string of not-so-lovely hotel stays, or simply too much time with the family. They are warm, kind, accommodating without ever being oleaginous and their down-to-earth professionalism goes across the board, and a very long way :)
Thanks for being my home-3-blocks-from-home this week.
16 The Standard, East Village



images
We recently stayed at the Standard East Village and really loved it! We had never been to any of the Standard Hotels and we enjoyed staying in the Village. The boutique hotel had an interesting ambiance with cool decor and design. We booked a corner king for the floor to ceiling views of the city and we were so thankful they put us high up on the 19th floor! What a stellar view of the city at night :). The bed was comfy and the bathroom had an oversized tub which was great. The Standard Cafe and Winter Garden looked cute, but we unfortunately didn't have time to check them out. Maybe next time! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it. The staff were also really friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay!
17 Soho House New York



images
If you need place to stay in Soho this is the best hotel to stay at during your visit. Me and my friend come to NYC every month or two and if we want something downtown this is the hotel we always choose. Amazing quality and service.
18 The Collective Paper Factory



images
The staff in this hotel are all great! They all go above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Please give your staff a big credit. It was great.
19 Refinery Hotel



images
Great location and quality customer service. The rooftop bars is one of the best in the dirt IMO. You’ll enjoy your stay here. The rooms have that unfinished modern feel to them.
20 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge



images
The 1 Hotel chain never ceases to amaze us! We stayed this past weekend for a few days and our experience was incredible! From the moment we pulled up and were greeted by Omar who helped us coordinate our valet and brought our bags to our room to the friendly and efficient check-in process, the views of the room were gorgeous, the room was so clean, spacious, and well stocked. Juan went above and beyond to help us get dinner reservations and have a chair sent to our room for the hair/makeup artist coming for our photo shoot. The food and service at the cafe and Osprey were great! Everyone greeted us warmly when they saw us throughout the hotel. We highly recommend 1 Hotel and have never had better service. Dumbo is such a fun area and there is always so much to do and see close by or the ferry is right next door and can easily get into Manhattan.
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in February 2025. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
