The hotel is very centrally located in Union Square, where there is always something going on. The room was very small but the decor was modern and it was clean.

Hotel in a great location, Union Square just round the corner. Our room was not large but spotlessly clean. Breakfast is no highlight. Toast, butter, jams, coffee/tea, cereal, milk and oranges (no cheese, no sausage, no eggs). Everything of course in that styrofoam plates and plastic cutlery. Directly opposite the hotel is restaurant Bellini. There, there are very good breakfast and more (not very cheap). In the room is no safety deposit box, however at the front desk there are the possibility, valuables free deposit. In may we will stay here again. … read more
