60 Thompson

( 4 stars , New York , United States )

We needed a place for a one night stay in the Soho area. The hotel looks nice and our room was nice; however, when we returned from the reception, my backpack which was on the floor in a corner, was soaked through (luckily there wasn't much in it) - there was a leak under the carpet in the corner of the room and the carpet was all wet. We called the management and they apologized, but couldn't move us to another room and didn't offer any sort of compensation for the problem. I expected better for the proce tag of this hotel.

Perfect location, nice design, excellent breakfast, enjoyable small convenient rooms but smell of cigarette in a no smoking room, well set bathroom, good value for NYC, good restaurant (you have to pay a 20% service charge if you are staying at the hotel and not worth the 20%), bar always closed for private parties, staff at reception almost nice, good concierge, slow elevators because of the keys you need to use it. Definitely the best choice in the area.

The 60 Thompson enjoys a good location, which is relatively quick to reach by taxi from JFK (as compared to Midtown hotels for example). It is not in the middle of SoHo action, which makes it a relatively quiet place. Yet, all the hot shopping / dining / drinking spots of SoHo are within walking distance, as is a subway station. Rooms are rather on the small side (but this is New York, after all), and the views are far from great (especially if you don't have a room facing Thompson Street). There is free wi-fi internet access, which is very convenient. The design of the bathrooms is great, and the bath amenities are good. Service is okay, as is dining. The bar is pleasant. Overall a nice place to stay, with a rather residential feel. I tend to think that prices are a little bit high for the product, but again ... this is New York, so that I would consider that the value for money is okay. Although maybe not my first choice in New York, I would probably stay there again.

We stayed at 60 Thompson for a short Christmas get-away. For Christmas shopping the hotel's location in SoHo cannot be beat. And for seeing all of the Holiday sites uptown, there are several nearby subway stops. As compared to its equivalents uptown, the hotel's SoHo location makes for a more relaxed and quiet stay. The hotel's staff is very accommodating and answered all of our questions. The bellhops, concierge and front desk persons all went above and beyond to be helpful. Really, can't say enough good things about them (but they really should get a vacation once in a while, saw the same faces at all hours many days in a row). That all said, absent a discount, the hotel's price is well beyond what is reasonable for a hotel that has not been recently updated. The carpets are worn and although clean, bear the marks of many, many guests. The one-pipe heating system makes for an almost uncomfortable stay if it's unseasonably warm. And the beds could be a little more plush. However, if you have a good discount, the 60 Thompson is a lovely little hotel for the price.

just got back from nyc after having stayed at 60 thompson for 5 nights. i must say that the hotel, the staff, the restaurant, the location, the concierge, the room - all was top notch. if you can stretch to a superior room (pay about $350) then do it, as the smaller rooms are definately too small for anything more than an overnight stay. thompson street is well placed for great vibes, bars, restaurants & cool shops. i thought that $ 18 for two cups of coffee was a bit off a liberty, so go eleswhere for that kind of stuff. overall, however, i found 60 thompson to be spot on.

60 thompson is a trendy hotel in a superb location and a fantastic restaurant. However, the rooms are extremely small for the prices they charge. Also, they are now in need of renovation as the furniture is old and shabby. The worst part of the hotel is the 3rd floor which is directly above the bar area and the noise can be heard in the room until 2 am. If you must stay at this hotel - avoid the 3rd floor at all costs as you will not get any sleep. Unfortunately, noone warns you of this problem when you book the room but it should be known that the 3rd floor cannot be used as a hotel floor. Great restaurant though and the location in Soho is close to everything.

My wife and I decided we wanted to visit New York for a little pre Christmas shopping, 60 Thompson was recommended by a few friends, searched the hotels website and thought it looked pretty neat.............looked on TA and found a number of varying reviews, decided that I would go on our friends recommendation and how glad I am. The first impression is that it is in a very quiet location, I was glad of this after a couple of days fighting the crowds around Times Square, the hotel staff were great, from the check in to the delivery of luggage to our room, we were on the 12th floor, the room was great, bigger than expected and well decrated, even had a view from the window. Most days we were out early to do some sight seeing or more shopping but on our last morning we decded to have breakfast in our rooms, the food was great and there was so much of it, as usual for a Brit we ordered just a little too much but boy it was good. I will definately go back and stay here, if you want to be in the middle of the bust area then this is not for you but if you want to be within a 15 minute subway ride of the main areas head for this hotel.

DEFINITELY NOT worth the price. This small hotel is nice and minimally hip, in a great location(one of the few hotels in the midst of SOHO), but nothing special. There are many, many hipper and nicer hotels in NYC for a better price. The rooms are nice and spacious for NYC, but the basic amenities are missing. We had to request an iron and our toiletries were never replaced after the first day. We were there for a week, and even after multiple requests for shampoo, soap, etc., never received them. The hotel staff were nice and courteous. The bar on the roof, which everyone touts as "fabulous" was never open. Nothing seemed to ever be going on at 60 Thompson. We have been to NYC 10 times and are very well-traveled and enjoy boutique hotels, but I would never stay here again. If you're looking for hipness, stay at the "W" or Royalton. For the same price, you could also stay at the Waldorf Astoria and feel like your money was well-spent.

After so many disastrous stays at various W and Ian Schrager properties, I became skeptical in the "hip hotel experience" - until I stayed at 60 Thompson this past weekend. Interiors (lighting in particular) were chic and took advantage of all the site had to offer. The location was much better than Soho Grand and Tribeca Grand. Service was perhaps the best I've seen in new york boutique hotels thus far - of course, it's nothing like the Peninsula but the staff was cheerful and professional. We stayed at a Deluxe Room and it was as spacious as the generous marble bathroom. I look forward to returning to this well-managed hip hotel.

I feel fortunate to have been able to find an affordable rate that allowed me to stay one night at this utterly gorgeous hotel ($179 for a large queen room with large bathroom on our corporate travel agency's website instead of $400+). Every single detail in this hotel is lush and beautiful. From the elevators to the rooftop bar, the design is warm minimalist chic. The bathroom goodies - from Fresh - with Frette bathrobes - complement the beautiful dark marbled tile and fabulous power shower. The room comes with large TV (hidden, naturally), DVD player, CD player, and a bunch of fun items for purchase (T-shirts that say "My boyfriend is out of town"). Instead of a bureau, the room comes with a sleek sofa with velvet cushions. I just adore this place. Oh, and the staff are friendly and room service prompt.
