From the charming name to the welcoming staff to the adorable igloos on the rooftop. All worth our money to stay here. Very accessible to public transportation and a variety of dining options around. 💜

I stayed at Little Charlie for one night and absolutely loved it! The room was very clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is super convenient. I especially enjoyed the breakfast and the rooftop terrace – it was absolutely amazing! A big plus was the excellent communication: when I informed them that my flight was heavily delayed and I would arrive very late, they sent me detailed instructions on how to get to my room with no issues at all. I highly recommend this place!

Great location, super clean and friendly! Modern, adorable room! It's NYC noisy outside, but you'll get that anywhere in that bustling area. They provide a noise machine and earplugs, and if you have a room with a huge window view (so fun) - you'll need them. 5 stars!

We liked the roof top area which was unique to us. The hotel was clean and tidy as was our room also. It was a small room but plenty enough for our needs for our 2 night stay. Although we checked out in the very early hours of the 2nd night. We were able to walk to a great local restaurant of our choice from the various that were available. We had little interaction with reception staff but what we did have was professional and polite. Overall we would be happy to return.

Good for a solo weekend trip but a few caveats...

I stayed here for a weekend and it provided me with the basics needed for a decent stay. The pros were that the bed was extremely comfortable, there was plenty of hooks/shelving to store my things, and the fridge was full of complimentary Fiji water. Also, the towels were fluffy and of nice quality. Everything was spotless; all areas of my room to anywhere I went in the hotel. There are small overhead lights hanging above the bed; I swiped a tissue in the fixtures and there was no dust at all! There were some cons staying here but it's manageable for a short trip. My room was facing 2nd Avenue which is a very busy street at all hours of the night (the hotel does provide ear plugs, but I'd rather the windows were soundproof). The second is that the blinds are not blackout; so I was awake around 6/7AM every morning. The third was that the shower was only warm for 5-10 minutes at a time. The last comment I have is that I noticed a few burn marks on my sheets but by the time I saw, it was my last night so I didn't care to get my sheets changed. Overall, this was a nice place to stay for a quick trip but I would have preferred to stay in a room facing inward rather than towards 2nd Avenue so I could sleep. Everything else was able to be overlooked as the staff was warm and accommodating, the rooms and public spaces were spotless, and this hotel is locked after hours which made me feel safe. They also store your bags post-checkout in a locked closet for safe keeping.
queen room; underbed storage, compact space but good for solo travelers
public lobby after hours; very cozy vibe
