Sela V Hotel

Sela V Hotel

8/10 Good
"Beautiful property, clean with pleasant helpful staff. While the property is gorgeous I felt the rooms were more style over substance where they lacked certain items I expect as standard - coffee, iron, hairdryer, decent lighting in bathroom etc. Saying that my bed was very comfortable and I slept well."

"I stayed for 5 hours overnight during an overnight layover when returning from travel abroad.. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The confirmation email had no information about a shuttle and my text messages through the app went unanswered. When I arrived I was able to call to confirm the availability of a shuttle. The shuttle driver wasn't friendly and didn't respond to my greeting but he did get me to the hotel safely. The night staff were perfunctory and not friendly but they did their job to check me in."

Arlo SoHo

Arlo SoHo

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at The Arlo. The location was great (just outside of SoHo) and right near a subway stop. Though the room was small, it was really well laid out and we had no problem storing all of our things (being able to slide our suitcases under the bed for storage really helped). The reason I didn't give this stay 5 stars was that we reserved a room with a Queen sized bed that was definitely a Double/Full. When we reached out to the front desk about it, they assured us it was a Queen. My partner and I have a Queen at home, and have no problems sleeping in it, but in our "Queen" at the SoHo we were constantly bumping into each other and nearly falling off the edge. Unless New York City has it's own bed measurements that are different than the rest of the world, didn't really love paying $600/night for a room to get a bed smaller than we booked, and then be lied to about the size of the bed. Just something to be aware of if you're planning to book here."

10/10 Excellent
"Affordable and very close to a metro station. The staff was very helpful and the place was very well maintained and clean. It comes with a laundry room and although it has communal bathrooms, it was very clean and posed no issue. The rooms were certainly small with no room for a chair and the only place to sit down was on the bed which is not very wide. It had a TV and only downside for me as there was no ice machine. I will definitely stay here again when in NYC and comfortable and felt very safe."

"I had a fantastic time up there, it was well center and pretty close to everything around the area, a great bargain for your buck especially around that area when most hotel were going for $500 a night, close to the memorial site for 9/11, the bed was super comfortable, the room was spacious, clean and smelled good, the gym was well equipped and functioning, the coffee machine in the lobby was amazing, and the views outside the one40 restaurant were incredible, the staffs were friendly and willingly to help, especially Arden, she really went above and beyond to help make sure we were comfortable and provide all the necessary information that we needed, and Solomon as well, I will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone visiting Manhattan New York."
