Great hotel! Rooms were for New York standards very big. Two double beds, desk, flat screen TV, wardrobe, cupboards, half -open bathroom with a separate toilet, bath tub and extra shower. Everything very nicely furnished and clean. It drives each hour a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the subway stations F-line '21 st Queensbridge ' N and Q line and line 7' Queenboro Plaza' M and E and R line ' Queens Plaza' So great connections to Manhattan. Otherwise runs the shuttle bus also the restaurant street from, where there is a great Cubanisches steak restaurant is. Especially ... recommendable is the roof, where it breakfast and dinner gives. Continental breakfast cost only 7 Dollar and is very recommendable. Selection is sufficiently ' bagels, toast, oatmeal, cereal, coffee, fresh juice, yoghurt, fruit). Otherwise you can still American breakfast select, which otherwise still bacon, scrambled egg etc. Includes. One evening there was a Latin American party on the roof instead, in which great mood prevailed. Latin American music and the great view from the roof on skyline Manhattan had. Internet was in the lobby free of charge, however in the room for a fee. Very recommendable! read more

The hotel is very nice. WiFi is in the lobby of the hotel free and if you are logs in, then the connection to the top floor-at least until 3. room after the elevator. Is very recommendable the food in the rooftop bar in the hotel. We were 1 time dinner and 1 times breakfast and both times very tasty and in the proportion quite favorable ( especially dinner). The rooms are very big and also the bathroom quite new and spacious. We shared the room three of us and it was OK. As a couple is the room great. ... To the subway walk around 5 to 10 minutes on foot ( depending on, which subway one drives). As long as you don't alone on the way is, it is in night as well not a problem the route on foot walk (our late. Time was 1 o'clock in the morning). A large plus point is in any case the view of Manhattan - especially during sunset a hit-) read more

Hotel is located just across the river from Manhattan and gives you a chance to enjoy Manhattan's skyline when enjoying your breakfast or late night cocktail at rooftop bar. Good hotel but it seems that there is nothing around it but construction zones and wastelands. Free shuttle to subway and restaurants gives a chance to deal with it though. More affordable than hotels in Manhattan. read more

The hotel is at the weekend by his roof-disco rather noisy, however with ohropax not a problem. Since the bridge to Manhattan eh already noisy can tell you that it's a large city. The staff brings one with the shuttle bus to the next underground station and gets a go. This is a bit tedious and best planning simple in the morning loszudüsen the sights of interest visit and only in the evening again to go back. With other words through decentralized location a quick 'Hotelstopp' not possible. The staff are consistently very friendly and helpful. read more

I was fourth time in new York in the next but again take a Manhattan hotel, since the subway connections in all directions substantially better is.

We found the hotel to be very nice, but as mentioned above no four stars, rather third and for the age of the hotel it was very shabby. We found the location is great, the shuttle service is a great touch and a great service. The rooms were cleaned every day. The quality of the pool on the roof, we have nothing part (although a hello considerably party) but you have to say, we had a room on the second floor, I think directly under the 'disco' would be unable to sleep former. But it was only one night. We ... would definitely recommend this hotel again at any time book. read more

The only, what we remember at the hotel, the price is. Otherwise-lousy location (at night we recommend a taxi), next metro station is 15 minutes away (the walk to the metro station 'Vernon Blvd.' is a bit more pleasant than to 'Queen Hillsboro Plaza')-great view from the roof terrace, you can see the station from, the right in front of the hotel room: The carpet was strewn with undefinable stains, the shower was full of mildew in the grout!)-the hotel is a party Hotel. We thought, the people exaggerate in its evaluations, it can't be that bad. Well ..., we were able to three of the six next, think we spent there, three in the morning not to sleep, so loud it was celebrated. Our tip: avoid this hotel! If you decide for the hotel, neither the first nor the floor under the roof, or if they are allocated, immediately change the room! read more
