YOTEL New York

I would not stay here if it was for vacation but as a hotel to stay in for work it will do. It’s like an IKEA hotel, the 4^th floor furniture is dirty, the walls are dirty, the furniture in the room had looked dirty as well. Sort felt like a nursing home/​hostile, would not recommend the rooms if you’re sharing them with a coworker, they’re too small for it to be comfortable. You’d be popping behind a curtain with them on the other side! I think the room layout is unique, clever and interesting. Works well for a couple. There was always a smell of melting plastic or chemicals in the air. One of my shirts had some strange plastic melted onto it and we couldn’t figure out how that happened but it for sure happened in the room since it was a sleep shirt. Hot water was not consistent for showering. The heated towel rack was nice. The hotel was located right by a CVS, grocery store and Chase bank. Times Square is a 7 minute walk.

Good location, unique décor, clean, & helpful staff. No sign of bed bugs, which was my main concern. The rooms are small, but it is New York after all. Great for the price. Also, the rooms have beautiful views of the city, which as a photographer that’s a plus for me in capturing an awesome view of skyscrapers. Also, the muffins are soooooo good! Wake up early and make sure to try them! Overall great experience and I would come back for sure.

I just wanted to update this and say that management did get back in touch with me, and although they couldn’t locate my original belt they did send me a reimbursement check for how much the belt was worth. There was apparently an issue with the customer service email at the time, which was the reason why they didn’t respond. Aside from that original issue, I don’t have any other complaints.

Every year my mom and I travel to New York on a girls trip, and we try to always change up our hotels because we like new experiences! When I saw this hotel in photographs I thought it looked pretty cool and we decided to give it a try.
A. The location is okay, not bad, but not great. It is a couple of blocks away from the subway, but there is a bus stop right around the corner. I would have liked to have been closer to Times Square, but the walk was do-​able.
B. The Service was good, but the hotel doesn’t offer much. The lounge and restaurant, even during open hours, always seemed empty and in a way it seemed like they were closed. My mom and I had to search for someone to even tell us if the restaurant was working, so we just gave up eating/​drinking at the hotel.
C. The room was good, we had the Executive Suite with a Queen size bed, it was good since my mom and I are really close, however would not recommend if you are not very close with your traveling partner since the bathroom only has a sliding glass door (the person outside has a full view of you sitting on the toilet)
Overall, I was glad I got to try it, it was a good experience, but I don’t think I’ll come back.

This place grew on me after four days. At first I thought my queen room/​cabin was small and that it was a weird layout, but there’s free WiFi, a super comfy bed that can be adjusted, great views in the right areas, and it’s just differently designed. My biggest complaint would be location. It’s good that it’s quiet, but walking around at night was iffy. Some theaters were close, but walking to Times Square can be rough, especially in January. Since you check in through a machine, there was no way to ask for two beds or a high or low floor. The elevators seemed to confuse people but I liked the extra security. There’s a CVS across the street and Gotham Market was only a few blocks away. Easy check out. I would stay again, but I don’t recommend it for traveling friends who like privacy. The bathroom is very open. Bring your own body soap and shampoo!

Let me just start by saying, we had a great room with a great view. Definitely worth the upgrade to the exec. suite. The location was also perfect for our visit. Close to Times Square, theatre district, Hell’s Kitchen, etc.
Second, let me say, this hotel is so impractical bordering ridiculous for the sake of modern appeal… I guess??? There is a glass sliding door to the bathroom so, you’re always having to give your bedfellow a heads up on what’s up if you know what I mean. If you like simple, practical, functional design then maybe yotel isn’t your jam.
Overall, the staff was nice except at the bar. The room was very comfortable and clean. Points for the towel warmer but subtract some for the lack of general privacy of the room.

Do not go for New Year’s Eve! Got in line at 9pm-didn’t get in until 11 and there weren’t even that many people in line. There was no music and not many people there. Staff was extremely unhelpful when my friend went back to look for her coat she left there. Go somewhere else for NYE!

The New Years Party at Yotel was not as advertised. Very poor service. We were not able to get in until over an hour after the event was supposed to start despite us getting there an hour early (we were one of the first groups to get there). Once we got in it was advertised that there was food served only to find out that was only available to the «VIP.» It took another hour to argue with management to get food that was promised. Overall very rude service and not worth the amount of money we paid.

A. best location
B. Modern and sleek lobby with a flawless check-​in process
C. You feel like you’re in an upscale dorm room with global guests who share the 4^th floor hangout
D. Free coffee, tea and water on hand at all times
E. A clean, comfortable gym
F. The rooms are so modern and awesome — the monsoon shower, HBO and Showtime, the ability to adjust the bed from seated, to leaning to flat; the heated towel rack, the tiny organized space and desk are all so convenient and well designed
G. FREE INTERNET ACCESS
H. Leo the manager — I had a bite on my arm and wasn’t sure what it was. My sister had a newborn and thought I should get it checked out and notify the hotel to ensure it wasn’t bed bugs — which is somewhat of an epidemic in NY. I notified Leo and he switched my room, asked a security guard to take photos and a written statement, offered later check-​out and put all my clothes in a dryer just in case.
I. Security recommended seeing an urgent care doctor. It turns out as I thought — a mosquito bite in December! Due to the warmer temperature and lack of December snow, those pesky bugs sampled my goods. I let Leo know and he showed me the inspection report from the hotel’s vendor who checkout out my old room. It came back negative for bed bugs. Leo was professional, gracious and kind.
J. I checked out late at 1, for an extra $ 20 and then made it back to my room at 2:30 and the Misson Control rep gave me a replacement key free of charge.
I will definitely stay here again!!!

My husband and I came here for our 10^th Anniversary. The hotel is very clean, and neat. Loved the purple everywhere too since its my favorite color :).
We stayed in a standard queen cabin that I got a deal on (yes cabin, not room), made me feel like I was on a cruise ship or something. It is very tiny! Think large walk in closet with a toilet, shower and bed. Like other reviewers have said, be alone or EXTREMELY comfortable with your significant other if you plan to stay here, luckily for us, we’ve been married 10 years so this wasn’t much of a problem lol. There’s no closet either, just 3 coat hangers on a rack. A few little shelves and under the bed space. The shower and toilet share a door, so be prepared for wet feet after you shower and need to use the bathroom. Have a towel ready after each shower just for the floor alone.
Those are the negatives in my opinion, not terrible, I dealt with it during my 5 night stay. The goods: the bed has a Serta mattress that’s SUPER comfy!!! After a day in the city waking for miles and miles, it felt sooo nice to climb into bed every night! Almost like home, and I normally don’t sleep well if I’m not in my own bed. So that’s a big plus for me! There’s also a yawn channel on the TV that just shows people yawning, designed to get you sleepy too I guess, kinda creepy but slightly entertaining lol. Plus it did it’s job… Made me sleepy.
Other reviewers mentioned cappuccino machines and muffins on every floor, guess they don’t do that anymore. Just standard coffee and tea and muffins on the main 4^th floor, which are free though every morning and are pretty tasty. The food was okay at the restaurant. I got a $ 10 French onion soup that was not that great in my opinion.
The staff for the most part is very friendly. We had someone greet us every night after coming back from a long day in the city!
Bottom line, if you get a good deal on this hotel (like I did), don’t plan to be in the hotel much except to shower and sleep, and are VERY comfortable with the person you’re traveling with, I’d say it’s worth it. Great bed and fantastic views worked for me!
There’s also a Dunkin Donuts down the street with amazing coffee and a CVS is right across the street for anything you may have forgotten too. :)

Wow what an amazing hotel, me and my husband and son had an awesome time staying at the yotel for 4 days. I love the futuristic look of the hotel, it smells good every where you go in there. The breakfast is awesome and eating area is so modern. The best part about this hotel is the staff. You know the stigma about New Yorkers there rude and stuff, no they are freaking awesome. One real tip the rooms are smaller than most hotels, but that’s the cool thing about it and that’s why is’t cheaper. My favorite part is those comfy beds and If your having a hard time sleeping they have a hotel channel that will put you to sleep .
Also time square is like 3 blocks up from yotel. I love that cause we could walk back anytime to our hotel. And then they have a robot to watch your stuff if you come early … Ppl come in just to gal picture of the robot.

This hotel is gorgeous. From the moment you enter and see the robotic arms you are in awe.
I love how the room windows are the walls and you can see the entire city. Rooms are small but wow the designer did excellent at making use of every inch

My only problem with this hotel is the parking garage which pretty much ruined my entire experience. The website states that parking in their garage is «$ 42.00 for 24 hours, with direct hotel access via the elevator to Ground for check-​in or „FOUR“ for dining». I arrived to the garage Friday night around 11pm, took my car out to dinner on Saturday night at 6pm and had to pay $ 42. Came back around 10pm. The next morning around 9am, we checked out and still had to pay $ 42. Apparently, it is a FLAT RATE of $ 42 to park in this garage if you stay at Yotel. The parking attendant said that no matter if I parked 2 hours or 20 hours, I would pay $ 42 for both occasions.
Besides that, the hotel itself was nice.
If your favorite color is purple, you’ll love it here. The hotel has a nice smell throughout and very clean and trendy.
Also beware, the website states that the room is for 2, the room really can only fit 2. There is also an upgrade cost to request a room with 2 beds.
Bathroom is open and there is only a curtain separating it from the bedroom.
Also, there is free wifi is available throughout the hotel; good reception.
I would come back because of the price and location.

We purchased a sweet deal for our 6-​day trip on travelocity that included this hotel and airfare from San Diego for my daughter’s 20 birthday. After booking it (non-​refundable), I read reviews that were less than stellar. I was nervous about staying here because of some of the negative reviews.
From the moment we arrived and through our entire stay, we were met with kind, cool, attentive staff. The vibe of the hotel is sleek and fun. Our beds were FABULOUS as was the view from our room… also the view from the shower, by the way. For an inexpensive hotel, this place is great. You can’t go to 7 – 11 and expect a filet mignon. Staying at the Four Seasons is magical, and when I pay $ 600 per night, I expect certain things. You can’t expect those things when you stay at a 3– or 4-​star hotel, which is what I think some of the people writing the negative reviews are doing. While this hotel is minimalist, the important things are solid – the bed (amaze!!), cleanliness, and kindness of staff. We had several questions while we were there, and they were able to help us every time. Our room attendant was wonderful as well.

Very funky, unique place. I read all of the reviews before we booked, and I had a feeling we were in for an interesting stay. Upon arrival, the hotel is really neat and is very trendy. You check yourself in at the kisok, hop in the elevator to ‘Mission Control’ on the 4^th floor, and then get in a different elevator to go to your room. The 4^th floor is where you’ll find the restaurant ‘East and West’, the bar, and a desk where employees are able to assist you. I spent every night at the bar, and I can vouch for their drinks and desserts.
The rooms are tiny. Like, tiny. To be expected when you’re in NYC, but I was shocked to see the design of this room. The mattress is folded up in the wall, and you press a button to lower it down flat. The lights are motion-​censored as well, so once you turn them on it takes a few seconds for the room to register that you’re in it. Once I figured this out I didn’t mind, but I thought the lights weren’t working at first.
The bathroom is fine but doesn’t have much lighting — Only thing I found really weird is that the shower doesn’t really have a door. There’s a glass sliding door to separate the toilet/​shower from the sink, but then the shower stays open for the most part.
There’s definitely enough space for one person, and the bed’s pretty comfortable. 2 people would be pushing it for me. This is a great place to stay if you’re staying 1 – 2 nights in the city and don’t plan on spending a ton of time in your room.

*** Odd seating area, No customer service ***
On a weekend, I would have assumed this place would be packed. We stopped by here to check out the scene since we were in the area. It was practically empty, and yet there were no servers available to take our drinks, etc. We ended up leaving after 25 minutes.

Excellent hôtel! Nous y avons passé une semaine en chambre avec vue. La chambre est petite mais tout est hyper fonctionnel, super bien conçu. Les chambres sont très bien insonorisées et la literie très confortable.
L’hôtel et les chambres sont très propres et le check-​in et check-​out sont simples et rapides. Le personnel est très aimable.
Muffins à volonté tous les matins, ainsi que café ou thé.
L’hôtel est super bien placé, à 5 minutes à pied de Times square et de la station de métro 42 street qui est reliée à la plupart des rames de métro.
Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.

Super ambiance cool surtout par rapport au bruit et l’agitation de la rue.
Excellente musique d’ambiance, personnel tres aimable.
Terrasse pour le breakfast .
Le restaurant est tres bien .
La chambre est tres calme ce qui est un vrai +
Excellente adresse sur Manhattan

Note that this is a review for their event space upstairs.
Came here for a private conference. They have small TVs everywhere built into the walls/​pillars, and actually had professional sound techs to make sure everything ran smoothly. Very professional.
Of course, there’s also the bar. They have some decent liquors, and a ton of local whiskeys. So that’s nice.
The only thing that sucked was that you had to use the bathroom by the concierge in the lobby. It was single occupancy, so even the men’s room had a long line.
Other than that, Yotel is a cool place to host a meeting. Just wish it were easier to get to!

Every once in awhile I feel the need to get my YO! This place is a work of art! A true master piece. It is everything that is super cool about the non tarditional side of NYC!
This place was designed by a group of engineers from holland and feels like you are stepping into a space ship
. I did knock it a star because the beds were kind of hard! But everything else was totally amazing. Inside of the room, there are automatic beds that lift up and down with the touch of a button. The soap, shampoo and conditioner smells amazing too! We were up pretty high so the view was emasculated!
Now let’s talk about the lobby and dining room. The lobby and dining room have the coolest décor in the world. I loved the statue of the giant yack wearing sunglasses and the art that is drawn all over the walls. In the kitchen, there are complimentary tea and muffins in the morning for the guests and they serve breakfast, the price is pretty reasonable.
The balcony is also amazing. The view up there is always a breath taking place to enjoy a cocktail. I would recommend being up there around sunset because it’s the best time of day to see a brow in NYC!
The prices of the hotel were very reasonable and the staff was also extremely friendly. Its definitely a great place to take children to in NYC too. They would love this place!

Hubby and I stayed here for 3 nights recently and we loved it!
We booked on their own website and got a free upgrade to the upper floors. We had a great view of downtown from the 26^th floor. The rooms are smallish like some of the other reviewers have said. However, we found plenty of room for us and our stuff in the cleverly designed room. The bathroom is clean and bright just like I like them. I liked that the bottom window actually opens to let outside air in. You do have to be VERY comfortable with the person you room with to enjoy this room. The toilet section is only sectioned off by a glass sliding door. We also enjoyed the folding bed and comfy mattress. Their customer service was great, too. I noticed that whenever we met a staff member, they always make a point to greet us warmly.
The thing that makes us the most giddy is the Yobot downstairs. We got to use him (yes, we decided it is a «he») to store our luggage on the last day. It just never gets old watching the robot move stuff with precision.
Don’t know if anyone already mentioned this: the M42 bus stop is right around the corner from Yotel’s front door. It was super easy to get on the bus, then to the subway to go everywhere we wanted.
Our only disappointment is that the galleys on each floor are no longer available. There is only one on Four. I was really looking forward to coffee and tea plus the microwave in the galleys. It was a real pain to get some super hot coffee and tea upstairs when no lids are available. But thanks to the awesome hotel, location and service, we love the Yotel and we’ll definitely come back again while in NYC!

Yotel es como un hotel del futuro. Sí, lleno de luces y con un diseño arquitectónico más que vanguardista. Todo es realmente interesante y llamativo, desde el bizarro y genial robot maletero que esta en el lobby hasta esas luces púrpuras que estan por todos lados.
Es un hotel bastante grande y por suerte tuve la chance de hospedarme en el piso superior, o sea el 27. La vista era realmente sensacional y la habitación, a pesar de ser chica, muy cómoda y funcional, onda que estaba equipada con todo lo que uno necesita. Ah, encima tiene wi-​fi gratuito, tanto en la habitación como en todos los sectores del hotel.
El desayuno no será lo mejor de la galaxia, pero es correcto y está bastante bien, más que nada te ofrecen muffins de distintas variedades con café o té. Eso sí, te podes servir todas las veces que quieras y eso está buenísimo.
Otra cosa recontra a favor de Yotel es su ubicación, a tan solo unas cuadras de Times Square y diversas líneas de subte en sus cercanías, lo que hace que no tengas que hacer millones de combinaciones para estar en el sitio que desees, eso es realmente un golazo.
Por último no quiero dejar de mencionar la súper buena onda del personal del hotel: Desde las amables chicas del staff, la simpatía de la gente de limpieza, como lo expeditivo del personal de recepción.
Sin lugar a dudas que Yotel es una grandísima opción en Manhattan y un hotel al que valdríà la pena ir y volver unas cuantas veces, porque lo importante es sentirse bien, cómodo y a gusto si es que estas de vacaciones o en el tipo de viaje que sea.

zentrales Hotel in NYC. Wenige Minuten zu Port Authority und Times Square. Es gibt einen Express Bus, der vom Flughafen Newark in ca. 30 Minuten direkt zu Port Authority fährt (16 US$ pro Strecke).Gegenüber vom Hotel befindet sich ein Supermarkt (Food Emporio).
Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 27. Stockwerk mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf die Skyline und den Hudson River. Hotelzimmer klein, aber sauber.
Kostenloses Frühstück bestehend aus Muffins und Tee/​Kaffee.
Wir haben allerdings jeden Tag aus der Karte gefrühstückt. «Healthy Food» für US$ 13, — bestehend aus Smoothie, Joghurt Parfait mit Müsli, Früchten und frischer Mango Sosse oder das «europäische breakfast» für US $ 11,– bestehend aus Toast, Käse, Wurst, Marmelade ein Schüssel frischer Früchte, O-​Saft. Für das Geld kann man für NY Verhältnisse nichts sagen und war zudem auch noch super lecker.
In den Zimmern gibt es Duschgel, Shampoo, Fön. Staumöglichkeiten begrenzt. Das Bett lässt sich zum Sofa umfunktionieren. Das Bett haben wir nicht als hart empfunden. Ausser, dass die Klima ein wenig laut war, haben wir rein garnichts zu bemängeln. Die ganze Hotel Crew war stets freundlich und bemüht immer zu helfen.
Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Trendy spot near Times Square! When we walked in around 11am, I didn’t think we would be able to check in. Thankfully the computer was nice enough to tell us we could check in. That’s right, computer, no humans asking for your credit card or how your day is going. I’m actually surprised more hotels haven’t gone with this business model. In addition to the modern check in process, there is this cool looking robot who takes your bag. We didn’t use it since the compartments were filled already but a really cool feature that makes adults drool. Yep, I took pictures!
The room was a queen premier (queen bed with bunk beds) and felt like a nicer hostel. We had three guests in the room and I didn’t feel crammed at all. I really enjoyed having my own bunk. The only odd thing was the bathroom which wasn’t exactly sound proof to the rest of the room. And the sink was so shallow and made me a tad nauseous when I could see my toothbrushing spit swirl around for minutes.
The location is fantastic if you plan on spending all of your time in the theater district and Hell’s Kitchen. You won’t be disappointed with this hotel. And make sure to check Priceline, we got a stellar deal for a Saturday night in NYC.

Vorab: Wir hatten eine Executive Kabine mit Aussicht. Die Aussicht auf den Hudson River war der Hammer! Unser Zimmer war groß und sauber. Lediglich am Fernsehregal sah man schon etwas die Abnutzung. Aber wie soll auch immer alles neu aussehen?
Das Bett war groß und bequem.
Es gab kostenloses W Lan und ein kostenloses Muffin Frühstück. (Steht bei Buchung nicht dabei).
Ansonsten gab es noch auf jeder Etage ein «Getränke Raum» mit kostenlosem Kaffe.
Die Lage ist super. Zu Fuß ist man schnell am Time Square. Ich sage alle berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Außer der Battery Park ist sehr weit entfernt.
Essen im Restaurant war ok, aber auch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Scheint in New York aber hip zu sein, da es abends immer gut besucht war.
Kleiner Tipp: Lauft in Richtung Hudson River. Dort kam auf der linken Seite eine Art Supermarkt in dem es ein jeden Tag abwechselndes Buffet gab. Allerdings nur to go. (Peinlich ich vergesse Namen immer so schnell, Sorry!). Aber hier gab es vom Salat, Obst, Garnelen, Fleisch usw. Alles was das Herz begehrt. Der Preis ging nach Gewicht. Vorteil: Günstig und kein Trinkgeld wird verlangt. ;)
Ich würde jederzeit das Yotel wieder buchen.

Hotel muito bom. Moderno, eficiente, bem localizado, serve deliciosos muffins de café da manhã e tem um restaurante muito gostoso!
A decoração é um capítulo à parte! Muito estilosa!
Os quartos são pequenos, mas extremamente funcionais!
Ficaria lá muitas outras vezes!
Eu reservei pelo booking e paguei USD194/​diária + taxas.

3 Sterne für die recht gute Lage (10^th Avenue, direkt hinter Port Authority). Von dort hat man exzellenten Anschluss an die U-​Bahn.
Die Gegend um das Hotel herum ist Richtung Theatre Row natürlich extrem touristisch und westlich von der 10^th Avenue etwas schäbig.
Ab der 9^th Avenue 44^th Street beginnt Hell’s Kitchen. Dort findet man tonnenweise
nette Bars und Restaurants. Publikum eher «locals».
Das Hotel an sich ist mäßig sauber. Zimmer auch für New York Verhältnisse recht klein (empfehlenswert: premium view ab 24. Stock mit Blick auf den Hudson buchen!).
Das Hotel ist «durchdesignt» und war bei Eröffnung sicherlich innovativ (z. B. Gepäckroboter). Tatsächlich nervt es aber — leider gilt hier: function follows form…
Das Bett ist mehr ein «Futon», welcher tagsüber zum Sitzen gedacht ist und per Motor in ein Bett verwandelt wird. Leider keine richtige Matratze und bretthart.
Bad und Toilette sind nur mit Vorhang
vom Schlafbereich abgetrennt, sofern man zu zweit reist, sollte man sich schon SEHR gut kennen. Leider lässt sich der Lüfter im Bad nicht abstellen. Daher immer Geräuschkulisse.
Fazit: aufgrund Preis/​Leistung und der Lage für Alleinreisende für max. 3 Nächte durchaus buchbar.
Alternative, ähnliche Hotels sind dad Pod39 und das Pod51

Un concept sympa avec des chambres très fonctionnelles. Le checkin automatique est un peu déroutant, mais l’ensemble est très cohérent (hypster oblige). L’hotel fournit pas mal de prestations (muffin le matin et café gratuit toute la journée en libre service à chaque étage) et du wifi gratuit.
