Hotels in New York sind teuer, auch das Hotel 91. Aber dafür war die location super. Und Frühstück braucht man in New York eh nicht, wo es doch überall charmante kleine Restaurants, Bars und Cafes hat. Zimmer, Bett, Badezimmer, alles sauber. Grosses Fenster. Tägliche Zimmer-Reinigung und eine Flasche Wasser. Nur die Matratzen-Lacken waren zu kurz. Unten bei den Füssen fehlten 30 cm, so dass da die blute Matratze war, welche dann auch Flecken hatte... Man hat etwas Stadtlärm gehört, hat uns aber nicht gestört.

This review is based on a two week stay in a queen room on the top floor, facing the street.PROS:Room:- Clean, daily turn down.- Flat screen TV, Iron, Hairdryer, Climate Control Air Con- Comfortable bed, choice of two pillows. - Very large for NYC (we had a corridor, room to place bags and more to spare)- Extremely quiet when double glazed windows closed.- Laundry room available too.- Private airport transfer on departure. Organised through the front desk (which is on level 1).Location:- Close to the F Orange Metro line which connected to most lines.- Walking distance to Bowery, Little Italy, Canal, Broadway shopping.- Great little eateries around (plenty of choices in Chinatown, Doughnut Planet on Grand and Essex, as was Flowers Cafe (great bagels) and bars (Bar 169 - cheap drinks and oysters!)CONSRoom: - Hairdryer was on the wall, though still had enough power.- TV did not have great reception.- Wifi pretty much didn¿¿¿t exist.- Older room but not in a way that was a problem.- Plastic cups rather than glass.- No minibar, but very cheap vending machines located on several floors.- An extremely slow lift, but that seemed to be common in NYC. Walking the stairs was much quicker.Location:- Chinatown has a certain aroma and some radio-active looking puddles. If you can¿¿¿t handle strong smells, this place is not for you.- F Orange metro line was probably the slowest in all that we encountered.OVERALLA great, safe and well located base in NYC. Always had a good night sleep.

I've stayed in Hotel 91, in the heart of Chinatown, for three years running, having previously struggled to find anything in NYC that I consider value for money. I really like Hotel 91, love the neighbourhood and, while it's not the world's greatest hotel, it offers great value for money and is very affordable.Chinatown is not somewhere I'd visit often, but it's a vibrant place to stay and there are plenty of options here and in nearby Little Italy to eat both for breakfast (none at the hotel) and in the evening. I've always found the staff to be friendly, the rooms are clean and it feels very safe.However, there are a few things to watch out for. The first is the rooms themselves. Although they're not small, in order to fit into the building, which is a very strange shape, the rooms often have weird layouts. Two out of three times the room hasn't had a usable desk and the third time I had to rearrange the furniture! The second is the internet, which while free, has its drawbacks. Although there is wireless, I've found it to be very patchy so if your only internet capable device is a smart phone or tablet, you could be in for a frustrating time! While there is an ethernet cable outlet in each room, two times out of three the outlet was about 10m away from the desk! So, if using your laptop is important to you, be prepared to sit on the bed with it on your lap, bring your own 10m long cable or move the furniture!The last downside is the hotel's location right by the Manhattan Bridge! It's not a place for views (unless you like happen to looking at the sides of bridges at point-blank range) and if you find traffic and subway train noise disturbs yourself sleep, don't come here. Personally, it didn't bother me and the sound-proofing is good, but you can still hear it, making ear-plugs a necessity.

Great hotel, clean and room was not as small as we expected. Yes there is a lot of noise from the train but we knew it was under the bridge and it did not bother us. The location is ok if you don't mind china town but we thought it was disgusting. This is no reflection on the hotel but you can't even walk through outside streets without holding your nose and the streets are filthy. We saw a massive group of rats outside the hotel. A good place to stay if you don't mind Chinatown and don't plan on spending much time in your hotel room ( which most people who go to New York I'm sure don't!) good value compared to other manhattan hotels.

Hotel was clean and overall nice. Situation is in the middle of chinatown and there is only chinese restaurants and stores nearby but you can walk to the soho and the tribeca. Hotels are more expensive if you search few blocks to north.Perhaps next time we will stay in Brooklynn or Williamsburgh but this good hotel for maximum three nights stay because the room are very small.
