• There was a hum and vibration from outside.

“A nice and conveniently located mid-town hotel near Bryant Park. Lobby has a young and hip vibe. Rooms are sleek and masculine. Beds and pillows are great. The only complaint is that we were at the Penthouse Floor and even at the top floor, the constant hum and vibrations from outside the building made us feel like we were on a cruise ship at sea.”

• I was pleasantly surprised
• It was very dark in the lobby, my eyes took a while to adjust

“Very Nice and would stay there again. It was very centrally located to everything. Great find.”

• Chic, nice room, clean
• Room we had faced a dark alley; lighting in room very poor

“The Royaltion is essentially a very nice hotel - the upgrade to a room with soaking tub was great - very romantic. The decor is sleek & modern & the size of the romm for NYC was adequate. The downsides were 2: the room was very dark with very low watt bulbs; this problem was complicated by the fact that the window faced an ugly, dark alley - would not like that room again especially for an extended stay (beyond 2 nights)”

• Cost, location.
• Rooms and lobby-too dark. No free Internet.

“Basically the hotel was very good. The front desk staff and concierge (when she was there which was not ofter) were friendly. The bellboys were more friendly to young women and were not always at the front door. The rooms were clean and very modern. Our view was a brick wall and fire escape. Free wi-fi would have been nice ($10/day).”

• Location, staff were friendly upgraded us with out asking.
• It was dingy, smelt old and the general ambiance was seedy.

“This hotel is located right off time square - if you are not a picky traveler - go for it - the room was big - but dingy, furnishing desperately need upgrading, dark, smelt musty - I did not sleep at all at night - room looks like a cheap cruise cabin. Will not stay again. Staff were friendly - had read other reviews so was prepared for ambiance in lobby - dark and club like - not a problem - just room smelt and was yucky. Large tub would only get in it with my slippers on - shower faucet on back wall so have to get into tub to start shower - so you get wet just turning on the shower. The hotel definitely caters to an adult environment - this is obvious by all the amenities for purchase in the room. Not again.”

• Staff.
• Dark hallways.

“Great location. Great staff. Modern, European style rooms. Great value. Only minor downsides were dark hallways, dark bathroom, and no signage out front, so you don't know it is the hotel until you ask the bell hop.”

• Location was decent.

“This was not a 4 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination. The rooms were tiny and the first room was stinking. The second room (only one available was also smelling of cigarettes). I have also stayed at the Hudson, also managed by the Morgan Hotel group which was equally disappointing (tiny room). Not for travelers with family.”

• The location and price.
• Lack of lighting throughout, rooms lobby and halls.

“It was quiet, restful, very dark in the halls, clean, lacked space in bathroom for vanity use, good location, and very nice staff. The restaurant was excellent.”

• Understated elegance and friendly/helpful staff.

“Beautiful boutique style hotel. Rooms have very comfortable modern furnishings. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful.”

• Location.
• Cleanliness of the room.

“Good hotel in general. The staff were very friendly. The main problem was related to the cleanliness in the first day in our room. The other days were fine.”

“Overall, I was satisfied with the hotel. Excellent location and lobby bar seems like a really cool place to hang out. Rooms were small and staff was helpful.”

• I liked the bar area.
• This hotel was dark and not comfortable for friends traveling together.

“This hotel was not a good experience for friends traveling together. The double occupancy did not mean two beds. It does not even mean a king. There were no rooms with two beds nor kings. The rooms were too contemporary which meant uncomfortable and cold. The chairs and bed were not comfortable. They were too stiff.”

• Good location. Well appointed rooms and lobby. Nice staff.
• The entry/lobby is a bit dark, foreboding to the new comer.

“I walked right past the hotel because it is a very narrow building and not well marked, no sign at all. Entering with the help of a doorman who helpfully stepped down and asked if I was looking for the hotel, I found the lobby, unlike any other I have seen anywhere in the world. Dark, but warm.
Not a place to take kids. The room was great, the bed very comfortable although I had asked for and hoped for a king, the queen was adequate. Did not use any other facilities, but there is a very active lobby bar and lounge at night. The room floors are quiet and private. I would go back again.”

• Location is well suited to business in NYC.
• Hotel is dated and dark.

“Good value for the money, however accommodations are not up to date. The hotel rooms are very dark (black in fact).”

• The best things were the location, the shower and the bed.
