The Lovers Apartment

We had studio #10 for 4 adults and the place was clean and what the pictures show.  The check in & out process was quick and efficient.  Everything we asked for the office staff was quick to provide us with.  The staff was pleasant.  

This is a room on a budget which is what I needed. There's a bit more noise and food smells than I expected but the space was clean and safe which was most important. Plus, again, the location is PERFECT. Also, Min, the person checking us in and responding to my emails, was such a nice person. He is also sending back my charger which I left in the room. Overall, i would tell others to go and would myself, stay there again.

This lodging was 2 blocks from Madison Square Gardens & a quick walk from Penn Station (took the train from JFK). Bathroom looked newly remodeled, room very chic with exposed brick. Check-in quick & easy, staff friendly & helpful. Won't stay again b/c the surprise additional cleaning fee (cash only) put the price up with actual hotels that include breakfast & less sketchy elevator.

Nice location

with the amount of money we paid for the property, it was quite okay. although the cleanliness needs to be improved. the security guard and the host were friendly and helpful. other than that, the room was 3/5. beds were nice and comfy. bathroom was ok. but the common areas are a little dusty and some corner has strands of hair. we also spotted some insects in the room. GREAT location though. but I will find other airbnbs if the price is still affordable. 

What you pay is what you get

Great location  so easy to get around to all the major sights, but basic and with little improvements could be so much better. More toiletries and updated furniture. On the plus side great location and v friendly staff and v clean.

New York at your fingertips

The only good thing about this place is the central location. Staff are miserable, rooms are tired and extremely small and basic. And for the whole time we were there there was building works going on right outside that were noisy the whole night so don’t go in the next few months if you want any sleep!!

Awful

AVOID this place at all costs

I booked his apartment through booking.com(who are equally terrible to deal with). On arrival into NY I find an email sent a couple hours previous which was during my flight informing me the apartment had cancelled our booking due to the fact they had "no hot water" or "clean sheets"
What utter BS ! This left 3 of us stranded with no accommodation late at night... 

What was different for us is we booked 3 bedroom which is difficult to find in NY for reasonable price. Booking.com clearly didn't want us to find accommodation ourselves without booking it via there platform in order to get commission and offered no immediate refund to our group to allow us book somewhere else. They are terrible to deal with....

From speaking to locals in NY in the industry it's quite likely the apartment was listed and sold else where for a much higher price hence they cancelled our booking to get the higher rate. (Not confirmed but booking.com told me this has happened with the apartment company before doing similar)

Needless to say DO NOT BOOK HERE... 

NB- The hotel suggested in the email (photo) wasnt available on booking.com when we tried to book it either... 

Cancelled reservation a few hours before arrival 

If your on a budget and do not care about a room then stay here otherwise avoid. The only good thing is it’s location, a block away from Empire State Building. My 3 children surprised me by joining us on our New York visit and was booked in here. If it didn’t cost so much money we would have moved them to our hotel after we visited it. My daughters words “my room at Uni is better then here.” The apartment itself was clean, had everything they needed, fridge, oven, kettle etc TV and wifi. There was a double bed in the bedroom area next to the bathroom and they had 2 put-you-up beds in the living area creating, no room to move around safely. It also looked like it was someones apartment who rented it out, a Christmas tree was on top of the roof housing the bathroom and a padlock was on the main door. Couldn’t see out of the window, which also had the a/c attached to it. No curtains and a light shone through it. Staff are not friendly, when they handed their keys back they were rewarded with the words “Thanks,” nothing else. Stairs up, as lift is slow and constantly in use, are dark and on the whole not pleasant. I could write a lot more about it but as stated at the beginning, if you don’t have high expectations, on a budget and only want a room as a base then it’s ideal otherwise Avoid.

Low expectations, ideal place

very DIRTY and UGLY place. the entrance was horrible, full of garbage, the smell was unbearable. the receptionist was in a small desk in the middle of piles of dirt and linen from the beds... i that moment i asked the woman why the photos are diffrent in the web and why it is in construction with plastics covering walls everywhere. she was very arrogant. the bathrooms were so dirty and with mold. she said she will send someone to clean which never happened. we ended up going somewhere else... no money back either. the worst experience....

DIRTY  AND STINKY SUDIO #O-2 ON 38TH STREET/31ST -TOTAL CRAP

Everything! From walking in through the front door to checking out 3 days early this place is a nightmare. Grumpy and dismissive security guard in hallway who mysteriously disappeared - apparently there is 24 hour security - there's not. We came home at 11pm and were able to walk into the property unquestioned. The lift is older and slower than God and smells. The smell continues as you walk through dirty corridors to your room, passing through blocked open fire doors - please bear in mind that people actually live here so its not a hotel with apartments or an apartment block. The door to the room was flimsy to say the least, once inside the room it becomes apparent that its a tiny room with a created wall for the bathroom, it was dirty - small welcoming party of dead flies on top of the fridge. An interesting feature was the plastic sheeting that had been duct-taped on the bare brick wall to prevent dust - nice and homely - NOT. The noise was unbearable due to the air-con unit not filling the window so the hole was blocked by a handy piece of corrugated plastic. NYC is the city that doesn't sleep and we didn't either. We took all of our valuables out with us as we feared they wouldn't be there when we returned. After 1 night we spoke to the girl in the office and told her we would be checking out early as it was noisy, smelly and unsafe. We were ceremoniously told that there would be no refund so we asked for the owner who eventually got back to us and declined the refund. Unfortunately Booking.Com were unable to assist in this as they were also brutally rebuffed by the owner. This place in NOT cheap, NOT comfortable and NOT a nice place to be, the owner clearly doesn't care about having a good reputation and will quite happily take your money and laugh his way to a car show in Las Vegas. Save the trouble and your money and stay in one of the other much nicer places in New York.
