About this place Hotel and the City

Hotel and the City is a small mainstream hotel at 38 West 31st Street, between Fifth Avenue and Broadway near Herald Square and Koreatown, listed as gay-friendly. Information is limited: it has a basic Google Sites website and a 3.6 rating from under 100 reviews, so read recent reviews on room size, cleanliness and noise before booking. The location is central. Penn Station and Herald Square's subway lines are a few minutes' walk away, and Chelsea's gay bars are about 10 to 15 minutes west on foot. Hell's Kitchen, with the city's densest strip of gay bars, is a short subway or cab ride north.

A very good budget hotel in a fantastic location (about a 5-minute walk to Madison Square Garden and a 7-8 to Times Square). The biggest advantages were the price and location, but it's also worth noting that the room was very nice – the bedding and bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen was equipped with all the essentials for preparing meals. The downsides were the lack of natural light and a window, but I suspect anyone choosing this hotel doesn't plan on spending much time there, just a place to sleep and explore NYC. I recommend it.

Great location! There's a laundry room in the building, but bring cash for laundry. Everything was fine! The room was small. Elevator, kitchen in the apartment, bathroom. There are additional toilets and showers in the hallway. Everything was clean.

A terrible experience. They don't clean the room, they don't change the towels, and the service is nonexistent. The staff is unfriendly and unprofessional. Furthermore, the heating makes a constant noise all night, making it impossible to sleep. I absolutely do not recommend this place.

It's a comfortable but small hotel, which is fine for the price, and very centrally located. Recommended for travelers staying for a few days. Very comfortable.
