Simple but met our needs for 4 nights

This is definitely a no-frills hotel, but I don't regret staying there. It is in a convenient location, close to subway, SOHO, and lots of cafes. The decor is dated but the hotel is clean. Regarding daily room cleaning, the bathroom was cleaned daily and the towels were replaced, but our beds were never remade. We booked a Deluxe Room with 2 double beds, because we were going to be 3 people in the room. Be warned, they are not double beds - they are slightly larger than twin beds, and are too small for 2 people. Regarding sustainability - we were not provided the option to reuse our towels, and there was no recycling bin in the room. We wanted to watch Netflix on the tv. We called the front desk and she said "I don't know, because I don't watch tv". We never found Netflix.

Review: I stayed at The Allen Hotel with my friend from February 23rd to 25th. Upon check-in on the 23rd, I was required to pay a $120 USD cash deposit, with the promise that it would be returned to me at checkout on the 25th. However, they did not provide me with any receipt or proof of payment. As a result, I completely forgot to ask for my deposit back before flying back to Canada. When I realized this, I immediately emailed The Allen Hotel. It seemed like the general manager was handling the issue, but his response was slow and dismissive—only replying once a day and repeatedly refusing to process the refund via bank transfer. His excuse? “We are a business, and we don’t do wire transfers.” Really? A business that makes such a basic mistake and handles it with such indifference? Thanks to you, my wonderful memories of this trip have been completely ruined.

The staff was wonderful. We had a minor inconvenience in our room, and the staff fixed it immediately. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The hotel was in an area with great restaurants. The Tenement Museum is one of our favorite visits when we come to New York and it’s right next door! We will certainly be staying here again!

This hotel is perfect for someone like me: a NYC native who prefers to visit mostly for the vibes in lower manhattan. Rates on the more-affordable end are often available. And the little private balconies are awesome year-round!

Fantastic Choice

This was one of my favorite stays out of the 10+ times I've been to NY. Was very clean and cute and comfortable. The area was lively with a lot of options. I will be back!

Great Hotel

Great hotel! They upgraded me to the Presidential Suite! Although the sauna was still not working, the steam room works great. Although the TV in the gym had limited sound, the gym was nice, having barbells, free weights, stretching mat and aerobics machines.

Great for Staycation

Great place for my staycation—gym, steam room (but where the sauna was not working). Gym equipment improved with barbells, free weights and bench(es), but TV’s audio wasn’t working properly/loud enough to hear. In rooms, good that sink has very hot water and stopper was working properly, but suggest cleaning the underside of glass desktops.
