Great location. Staff was amazing Norma clean our room in our stay and she was very pleasant. The two girls in the reception were awesome vey helpful. The water in the jacuzzi and the pool was cold so we didn’t enjoy that but the roof top was really nice. Overall I give 5 stars I would definitely stay there again.
After a night out we expected to wake up late the next day. Unfortunately, the soundproofing of the room is a 0/10.
Our room was located on the ground floor and outside there was a yoga class at 8am if not earlier. The participants were chatting and it woke us up because they were right on the other side of our wall and sounded like they were in our room.
And around the same time, housekeepers were smashing the doors of the neighboring rooms as they were cleaning. We heard them chatting very clearly as well from our bed.
With all those loud noises we had no way to fall back asleep. That was not a good experience after a night out.
Aside from the noises, the room was nice and clean, the employees were nice and the check-in and check-out went smoothly. It's unfortunate that they do not have parking for the clients.
Ac worked great. Lots of noise from suite above, furniture being moved constantly. Asked for room its glass balcony railing on quiet side (as returning guests we knew what we wanted). Got a room with cement balcony, on third floor above busy street. We had booked and sent request months prior to arrival. Allowed day visitors at pool, and children were allowed in rooms (adult only). Not sure if we will be back.
Rooftop pool area was nice, Room was nice, cool and clean. Front desk was also very nice and helpful. Walkable to 5th Ave but not so close were street noise may bother you while trying to sleep.
the room didn’t have windows, it was too dark ,the room didn’t have a good wifi signal, in the bed there was a lot of ants !! To lock the door wasn’t working so we had to use the chair to lock the door to feel safe and honestly it was my birthday and I was expecting something better because I did stay on another Bunik couple of years ago and it was amazing, but this one was a deception. the only good thing was the daily cleaning and the rooftop. Thanks but i wouldn’t stay again here ever again.
Room was good size and bed was comfortable. We like the little kitchenette with full sized fridge, microwave and cooktop which enabled us to make some meals so we weren't eating out all the time. The rooftop pool is fairly small but was a lovely area to relax and hang out. The only complaints were the water pressure was not good, and there was a high pitched, squealing type sound that could be heard in our room whenever people were using the water. We eventually got used to this, but I would recommend ear plugs for a good night sleep.
