Old but quiet

The staff was courteous. The room was surprisingly quiet. It was an old building, the shower was not in good shape, 4th floor had no WiFi but the AC was most quiet I have ever experienced at a lodging.

religious house!

Booked because of good reviews but this hotel was not for us and in our opinion should not be on hotels.com booking s. It is a religious house with crosses on the walls and a weird religious atmosphere. The room was small and the shower room was in need of a make over, The radiator in the shower room was rusty and everything was a little shabby. Breakfast was good with a good choice of hot & cold food.

Liked: Cleanliness
The building is excellently placed and full of character. Worn but clean with the air of an old fashioned boarding house. There is an excellent breakfast buffet and a lovely little garden and the handsome communal sitting rooms are a bonus as our bedrooms were very small. The shared bathroom was better than expected as it was usually free when needed and, although disconcertingly shabby at first glance, was always spotless. The staff were friendly and helpful, with the exception of one consistently hostile receptionist who was the only negative aspect of the week.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Bathroom was not serviced upon check-in & entry. Dirty towels on the floor. Toilet unflushed. Trash strewn about / used soaps / half empty water bottle under bed / no clean towels in bathroom. Had to inform and request new towels @ front desk despite being 7-8 hours late to my check in (trip was delayed, only stayed for one night, mainly for sleep). The room itself (311) is very small, but has a decent twin size bed (for one). Hotel won't let you leave with your room key (fyi, wasn't aware of that ahead of time) but front desk is avail 24/7. TV did not work, btw, and neither did the Wifi (not sure they even offer Wifi). Phone Signal is pretty poor while inside. Complimentary breakfast is OK, not worth getting up for IMO. Wished I had skipped it altogether, slept in, or just stayed somewhere else tbh. While the staff was nice to me, and apologetic re: towels, unserviced bathroom, et.al., I would not stay here again.

This hotel is dirty and just awful. It’s like a backpackers hostel not a hotel. The room was so dirty, we booked 3 nights and stayed 1 as it was so bad I felt so unclean. The staff are so unfriendly, not approachable. With exception of the manager Natalie who helped us get a refund so we could move to another hotel. Don’t mind an old hotel, old furniture etc but unclean is not ok.

Mistake

I made this booking in haste last year .without realizing i booked a room with shared bathroom facilities. Which i was unable to change via trip adviser My room was like a cell. dark, windows that looked out closely on a wall, A toilet in a small / tiny cupboard space ,a wash hand basin in a neighboring cupboard space so small unable to outstretch my arms I would say clean but very very run down. It is a catholic guest house but it felt like a religious retreat no frills, lacked comfort, very noisy. It would have been helpful to have a room directory to explain in house as well as nearby facilities On a positive note i was pleased to have a safe in my room. Location in Manhattan was good. Value for money you get what you pay for . My mistake

Loved the service, staff were very friendly and attentive. Arrived early before check in and they were very helpful in storing our bags before and after we checked out. The location is very convenient and the amenities were exactly what we were looking for. If you’re a germa phob and need your own shower make sure you have a private bathroom. The room we had was a shared bath, but we didn’t mind.

Nice spot for a quick stay.

Nice little hotel on the 23rd street here in NYC. The rooms are a bit small but for one night that's ok. Showers are in separate rooms on floor which can make it tough to shower if both happens to be taken. Other than that, I really liked my stay.

A class service by the team from start to finish ( especially Thommy, who made us feel welcome from the beginning, a friendly, professional kind & helpful person you would go a long way to find, the Leo house is situated in a brilliant location, surrounding areas are clean and easy to walk & Catch the subway, breakfast served was outstanding, only mention for feedback here is the room was hot with no A/C or fan, bed was comfy bathroom and space of a good standard, I have no hesitation in recommending the LEO to stay, I myself will be returning to NYC in the future and when I do the LEO will be my choice of hotel.

A quiet oasis in the middle of one of the largest cities in America. Located very close to public transportation and offered a simple yet restful place of respite from my work day and evening activities. The staff were extremely attentive and service minded. Breakfast was a big bonus to my stay. The one issue I had with an outlet malfunction was rectified immediately. I would definitely stay again.
