Cosmopolitan Hotel – TriBeCa

The staff was very friendly, we had a spacious 5 person room and our total for 5 nights was around $ 1,349. (This price was several years ago) Because there were 5 of us trying to get ready, we had several appliances plugged in and we blew a fuse more than once. Each time, the staff tended to it promptly. We also requested extra towels, pillows, ice, etc and were not disappointed in the service we received. It was a very clean, convenient hotel.
We were close to the Subway and several good restaurants. It was a neighborhood I felt safe in. Highly recommended!

Solid option in Tribeca! Located next door to a large coffee shop chain (you know the one) and within walking distance to many bars, restaurants, and little cafes, we specifically chose this hotel based on location. When we travel to NYC we typically stay in Midtown or the Upper West Side. Wanting something different, we chose Tribeca this time (but did find ourselves Ubering into Midtown 3 out of 4 days!).
If you do decide to take Über or Lyft to get to Midtown, figure on $ 28-​$ 30 round trip. The money we saved by staying at this quaint hotel still made up for the price difference when adding in the cost of transportation. Of course, the subway would have been MUCH cheaper, but we just didn’t want to wait around, even though the subway is literally right outside the Cosmopolitan.
Rooms at this hotel are small, but that’s typical of NYC. We had a Deluxe Queen room which was fine for 4 nights for my husband and I, but there are other options including a King room, Loft room, and Suites. My only complaint about the Deluxe Double was the lack of ample space to unpack all clothing and place in the closet. I was able to unpack, but my husband had to live out of his suitcase. There just wasn’t enough space.
We stayed on the 7^th floor which had recently been renovated and was nice. Choose that floor if you have the chance, but note that the elevator is really slow. Just plan to have some patience and you’ll be fine.
The service at the front desk was attentive and friendly, and each time I walked past in the evenings, the gal at the front would address me by name. That was a nice touch!
If staying in Tribeca again, I’d stay at Cosmopolitan, but would choose a larger room next time around.

My first hotel experience in NYC. We got a great deal on a loft room. The hotel was fabulous with holding our bags and the room was nice and toast on the cold night. Good spot. Nice amenities. Would gladly recommend this place to my parents or friends!

Having arrived 9hrs early on a red-​eye via San Francisco; exhausted and sick, I had little to no hope we would get in our room early… wrong. I called ahead and spoke to John who assured me he would do what he could and boy did he. Personally grateful to him and the staff it took to make that happen. The hotel isn’t so shabby either. We have the most lovely room; the loft. Flat screen T.v. up and downstairs, full bathroom w/​tub and shower, oversized pull out chair. More than we expected! Even being on the second floor one would expect some street noise-​We had none of this. Our 7 days in NYC was amazing due in part to our hosts here at the Cosmo. Thank you!

Pros:
–Above a Starbucks
–Good location
–Friendly staff
–Subway entrance literally outside the door and another station about 1 block away.
Cons:
–Pictures are deceiving– our room was extremely tiny.
2 people and 2 suitcases left pretty much no walking space.
–The bathroom is even tinier and the tub is half the size of a standard tub.
–There’s construction going on which of course was not mentioned on their site. Construction began around 6am! Wtf?!
I was OK with this only because I knew I was going to be out all day. I literally went strictly to sleep and shower. No matter how tired we were we didn’t go back to the hotel to just relax. The food options in the area are also not great.

This by far is the worst hotel I have ever been to. To start they were doing construction on the building when we got there. When we checked in they said they upgraded our room to a nicer room. Upon entering the room I wanted to bolt out the door. The room they upgraded us to was not an upgrade at all, it was just a room with 2 small beds. The main thing that really got us was that the very next morning about 8a.m. on a Sunday they started construction right above our room. all we heard was banging non stop. when my boyfriend went down to complain he got a condescending attitude from the employee stating they started at 9. First of it was 8 and its a Sunday morning construction shouldn’t even been going on. To put the nail in there coffin was there were 3 dope addicts slouched on the couch in the lobby when he went down to complain. When we finally packed up and high tailed it out of there the same 3 shady characters were still laying on the couches passed out. Avoid this hotel like the plague.

Honestly loved this hotel! Right next to subway and there’s a Starbucks right underneath! Good size room and totally clean! Great restaurants and bars nearby. Super close to SoHo. Loved it. Unfortunately there was some loud construction going on and no heater in our room but the friendly staff totally made it al worth it and accommodated by providing a portable heater.

I stayed in this hotel with my boyfriend for eight nights. The price we paid ($ 750 approx) for the room was excellent value. The room was comfortable and well decorated, not to mention spotless. The bed was very comfortable if a bit on the small side. The room was a good size, not small as I had been lead to believe it would be from other reviews. I found the staff to be very helpful if we asked anything too.
The location itself is Tribeca in lower Manhattan. It’s very safe and a nice area, lots of little cafes and things nearby (Try Tiny’s close by for an amazing breakfast, and Mudville9 for excellent bar food) The ferry to the Statue of Liberty is a short walk from the hotel as is Century 21. The hotel is also very conveniently located with a subway station literally at the entrance to the hotel. I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel and would certainly stay here again!

If this room cost 200 a night this place would be adequate… at over 500 dollars a night it is a dump! Whoever gave this place positive reviews either knows the management or they never stayed in room 223! By far my biggest complaint is the ridiculous wall mounted AC unit. It is so loud and keeps the room so unevenly cooled… first its warm then its freezing! Try turning it off? It makes more noise than while it is powered up! When you walk in the room smells powerfully of Fabreeze. To say the room is small is an understatement… the bed isn’t even a queen. Cheap plumbing… I have to jiggle the handle to get the toilet to stop running… really?! The view is of a 5′ x 5′ air shaft. The time is wrong on the clock. The indifferent staff couldn’t be bothered to even nod to me on any of my 8 times in the lobby. They are in the process of painting the outside of the building… that’s like putting lipstick on a pig! The only positive statements I can make about the experience is that the WiFi actually works and the linens are nice. For 500 bucks I expect luxury and perfection… this is FAR from that.

This area is Superb. Right at the subway station on the corner. Starbucks under the hotel. Service was great. Plenty of restaurants and pubs close. A small park across the street with a 24hr market. Everything you need. Tables and chairs in the park. PERFECT!!! Room was comfortable. bathtub too. Perfect fro the price. Tribeca Is GREAT!

The rooms are clean and «New York spacious,» with room for a bed, desk, reading chair, and a large bathroom.
The staff was cheerful, and ready to help with anything I needed.
The location can’t be beat, in the heart of TriBeCa, just a few blocks to New York Law School, City Hall, and the federal courthouse. The Chambers Street subway station is right outside the door.
Will stay here again.

This hotel sucks, I have been staying here the past couple of nights and they have been doing construction on the hotel starting at 8am. Normally this wouldn’t be that bad if I was working normal working hours but I have been working nights and trying to get more than two hours of sleep a day. The front desk did not warn me about the construction going on and didn’t seem to care that I was working nights and trying to sleep during the day. The rooms are tiny and rooms and some hallways smell. I have had better experiences at motel 6.
Do not stay here if you care about the smell and size of the room, want to sleep in or want good customer service.

I booked a suite for my family of four. The room was tight and a bit claustrophobic because there were no windows. I am not sure how it was classified a suite because it had two queen beds and a fold out twin futon. As others have mentioned it is very noisy, our room had an air-​conditioner that was so loud and cold, it was almost impossible to sleep.
On the plus side it is close to the subway, in a great neighborhood (TriBeCa), close to many restaurants and bars, affordable price for NYC.

Schönes und sauberes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Wer allerdings nach NY kommt um die ganze Zeit im Hotel zu bleiben ist hier falsch bzw. sollte nicht auf den Zimmerpreis achten und tiefer in die Tasche greifen, da die Zimmer ziemlich klein sein können (wusste ich aber vorher). Gefühlt liegt das Hotel eher in einer ruhigeren Ecke von NY/​Manhattan, trotzdem sind Ohrstöpsel angebracht bzw. sollten nicht vergessen werden.
Starbucks ist quasi gleich im Haus, ein Burgerladen gegenüber (empfehlenswert) und ein kleiner Supermarkt um die Ecke. Metrostation ist quasi unter dem Hotel.
Insgesamt würde ich hier jederzeit wieder Einchecken und kann es daher auch beruhigt empfehlen.

I’ve stayed here several times, and I would not hesitate coming back. The rooms are clean and a fine size, the staff are nice and helpful and the location is very good. It’s close to the subway, Wallstreet, Statue of Liberty etc. There are a lot of good restaurants near by, and it’s close to Whole Foods.
The hotel offers free wifi, and a small gym. If you are looking to work out during your stay, it might be a good idea to find another place to do it though.

A hotel that has great rooms for a good rate in NYC! Staff is always accommodating, helpful and nice. Rooms are exceptionally clean. Great area, close to subways and in walking distance to so many great restaurants and bars!

Most important: clean!
Second most important: great, convenient location. 10 min walk to courthouses/​civic center. Great food within all price points in .1 mile radius. As a single female traveling solo I always felt safe walking in the area.
Other highlights: Very accommodating staff. I was able to check in early and check out late (traveled in late January). The room was tiny (shoebox tiny) but not claustrophobic because of the high ceilings. Great bath products (CO Bigelow), linens, and towels. There is heat throughout the building (no controls in room) but still comfortable since rooms have ceiling fans and AC units.
Downside: walls are thin and construction is ongoing.

It seems that many of the reviews here predate renovations or came from folks who may have had some unreasonable expectations for a value-​priced NYC hotel. We loved this place– great location in a vibrant neighborhood, extremely clean & comfortable room, and the price sure can’t be beat.
We had one of the loft doubles. May have been one of the «big» lofts as I was able to stand comfortably. The bed was extremely comfortable for sleeping off all that walking. Probably not the right room choice for a couple of 6’5″ co-​workers, but i’m not opposed to sleeping closely to the guy I married, so the double is no big deal.
Yes, there is street noise and the room is small– to be expected in NYC. The ground floor of the loft room means there is plenty of space for dressing/​primping/​etc. I wouldn’t want to attempt to choreograph a flash mob in the space, but it is perfectly ample for doing what you gotta do to get ready to hit the city for the day. We didn’t find noise from either the street or other patrons to be excessive or problematic.
The staff we interacted with were perfectly friendly and helpful. The room was EXTREMELY clean, and nicely if minimally appointed.
My only major complaint was about that slow-​as-​molasses elevator, but there are stairs RIGHT THERE. If you are the impatient type or struggle with stairs, ask for a lower floor or look elsewhere.
Free wifi is an awesome bonus, and the location is super convenient– there are several nice restaurants/​bars in the area and the train is right outside the front door. Walking distance to the World Trade Center and Brooklyn Bridge. Starbucks downstairs for those who are into that sort of thing. Fantastic value for accommodations in NYC.
We’ll be back!

The staff was wonderful, my room was clean albeit small, the lobby was nice. In short, my room was freezing and loud. Not sure if my delicate Midwestern ears and body temp are used to sleeping in quiet and having heat in the winter, but I could hear everything going on outside and had a draft coming out of my window like it was wide open… in January. Construction going late into the night, garbage pick up ALL night long, police sirens, traffic, etc. I barely slept. The chill was helped by calling down and asking for a second comforter.
Bring ear plugs or based on other reviews, try getting a room on the interior of the building. Definitely convenient location and price was extremely affordable, especially for NYC.

My 2^nd trip to NY this place is alright — depending on what basis one is judging it by:
Location: Excellent= Subway is on the same corner, Trinity Church + ⁹⁄₁₁ Memorial + Battery Park + some water taxi ports are a few blocks away. Within a 3 block radius you have access to great places to eat. 2 blocks away there’s a WholeFoods Market.
Staff: Bellmen were nice and attentive. Front Desk Staff — needs hospitality training. (Ask to see if i can get called if my room becomes available early — response «No» with an added attitude of not being the first one to come in early so don’t push it). To top it off — I asked for a fork and of course they don’t have one.
Hotel Room: Walls and Windows are thin. You can hear people come and go. So if you’re a lite sleeper — stay away. You can hear cars coming by and people’s conversations down below — I was in the 7^th floor.
Bathroom: Imagine a twin mattress. Thats how much area you have. This includes toilet, sink and shower. Expected of a NY hotel.
Water: The shower faucet was a guessing game each day. am I going to get hot water or not. Hmmm.

Sloooooooow. So very slow.
Location’s good, price is good.
But heavens, they’re slow.
