Hotel 17

( 2 stars , New York , United States )

Pleasantly suprised This was my first time in a shared bathroom hotel. I was very impressed with Hotel 17..I never had to wait for the bathroom , we had 4 on our floor. The place is immaculately kept...The only problem I had was our room had no heat and there was no cable. All in all I would definately go back or stay at their other property Hotel 31.

+ Hotel room compact but clean. it served its purpose well for centrally located accommodation for manhattan. communal bathrooms always clean and available despite the hotel being fully occupied. comes recommended. - Website refers to local tax automatically added to cost of room but it would be useful if website could confirm the percentage of this tax.

You get what you pay. For a short and cheap stay in NY a good choice. Rooms are tiny (thats NY) but clean. Shared bathroom on the floor - also clean and acceptable if travelling alone. Good location next to Union Square. Several breakfast choices around the corner. I would generally recommend it to young Single travellers for a short stay.

cool building, great location, lovely and warm! hotel 17 is excellent value for money and has real character. good location close to subway with a cafe nearby that serves good cheap food. definitely recommend this place.

I was not aware when the room was described as 'shared bath' that that meant two bathrooms, only one of which had a sink, for the entire floor. I waited forever in the morning to brush my teeth, take a shower...finally gave up on that one. I do understand that for an additional amount I could have a private bath--I think that is definitely preferable if staying for more than one night. Otherwise, I thought the hotel was very nice, very clean, the room was predictably quite small but looked out over charming gardens of adjacent homes.

Disappointing service Spent 5 nights at Hotel 17. Overall, it was a perfectly pleasant experience, with warm comfortable rooms and a good location. My only quibble would be that the staff were certainly less than attentive to providing excellent customer service. For example, when asking for a recommendation for somewhere local to eat the man on reception made little effort to offer anything other than the grimy diner on the corner. However, overall i would consider staying there again, particularly if travelling on a budget

Large room for a budget price The hotel is in a great location for hitting either the East or West Village, skip the subways and walk the neighborhoods!

Neat and clean Perfect location which enables to walk to both up- and downtown of Manhatten. I was really scared when i had to choose a hotel in New York City as I heard so many bad stories about duirty rooms wich you have to share with little disgusting animals. Therefore, I was more than positive surprised: this hotel is really clean and especially the shared bathrooms are in a tip-top condition. I would choose it again. The place is ok quiet as well, you cannot hear your nabours, only the heating (typical old American system). There is not much natural light in the room but I did not care - only needed a room for the nights!

Sept 2007 4 night, we were very happy to stay in NY at 5 min(5-6 $) by cab from Time Square. Quiet and SAFE place, 5min walk to subway. Room small but clean and quiet, bathroom very clean too. We recommand you JOE JUNIOR for very good breakfest funny, clean, good, cheap,... BEST place near the hotel (3th Av and 16th Str) 1 min walk. Let's go NY!!

I will stay this hotel again!! This hotel is gorgeous. Especially, antique door and elevator is great! All wall paper is fascinate. Not so Blight. It's cozy.
