This historic hotel is a little gem in the heart of Greenwich Village. Close to Washington Square Park and NYU, it is within walking distance of several restaurants and convenience stores. The hotel itself provides many amenities, like bathrobe, slippers, and umbrella. It also has windows that open for a little fresh air. I would definitely stay there again.

Hotel fine for brief stay, albeit older. But charm intact and fabulous location. Seemed clean, but when seated in bathroom could plainly see mold issues around tub grout, especially on underside of grab bar.

This is a gem of a hotel in a gem of a neighborhood. Nothing too fancy but clean and the staff are wonderful. Our go-to when we're in NYC. The Greenwich Village location is away from the tourist areas, quiet, with easy access to the subway, restaurants, and right on the best people-watching park in the city, Washington Square.

I loved reading about the musical history in this hotel, the former Hotel Earle, and even though Joan Baez and Bob Dylan stayed here and Baez later referred to it as “that crummy hotel over Washington Square” (haha) that was not our experience - it was perfectly suitable, clean, pretty quiet, pleasant staff and in a great location. We didn’t know from the listings here that the bar/restaurant was closed for renovations, but there are SO many amazing places in the vicinity that it wasn’t any problem.

For a stay in Greenwich Village, the hotel's location is ideal. Steps away from Washington Square, proximate to subways, shopping, NYU, walking to Union Square, jazz clubs and restaurants galore. Room was very clean if dated. Front desk staff helpful, and the free breakfast most welcome. With the taxes the rooms are not cheap, but its NYC.

A beautiful hotel, well-maintained. We appreciated the friendly staff. Good breakfast options. A nice area with coffee and tables in the back of the lobby. Cons: room was very small (it's New York so to be expected); you have to request a mini-fridge in advance.

I loved our stay here. The property is funky and charming yet modern. The beds were super comfy, the bathrooms beautiful. Also the staff were extremely helpful, friendly, accommodating and had great personalities. Steps away from transportation options, dining and shopping. Great walkable location.

Easy to stop the car in front of the hôtel. Indoor nearby private parking, with hôtel discount. The room I got was very Small as well as the bath room. It is an old building. The stair case carpet was not tidy. Free BFis meager It is just across the nice Washington Park , on a quiet street.
