Trendy, Modern, I giggled when I first arrived at the way the Loft Rooms "present themselves". It's nice. Blackout shades are excellent. The hallways are a little too dark - I know it's a vibe, but it creeps a woman out a little. That said, you can't get up the elevators w/o a room key. The rooftop bar and danceclub with a killer skyline view are great - Ricky, a bartender up there was fantastic. Also, Primo ran a very fun DJ set for us while we danced on the carousel, yes carousel. There's a little coffee shop w/ great baristas and decent prices. I'd definitely return.

I love this hotel! Great location near the heart of SoHo. There is a Whole Foods next door and rooms have refrigerators so it's convenient to pick up a bottle of wine/snacks for your room. They have complimentary coffee in a beautiful space with large windows beginning at 6am. It is a great way to start the day.

The hotel has barely any staff, nobody working in the reception, you have to check in yourself on an iPad. The lobby is full of people taking naps, working, waiting to go in the club next door. A lot delivery people just sitting around and charging their phones. The hotel charges a lot of fees, like a daily access fee of $45 to guests however the lobby is full of none paying people. The areas by the elevator are crowded by people waiting to go to the rooftop bar, it’s messy and there should be a separate entrance for hotel guests. The rooms are tiny, bathroom doesn’t have privacy is just a tinted glass enclosure. The location is close to SoHo and Broadway shops, it’s the only good thing. I will not be staying here again.

Tiny but hip and comfyable.

Hotel is a hipster spot. Rooms were tiny but functional, quiet and comfortable. No recycling that I could see and the keys were very easily demagnetized. The neighborhood is very central. I’d stay here again.

Hotel is great But there are no human beings around working at hotel to address any concerns other than at the food counter. You are left having to determine what where and when on your own through the net
