When I stayed at this hotel I was a student and didn't have means to stay in a more expensive hotel. That said, I found this hotel to be very good. Its location was good, with a short walk to Times Square, 5th Avenue shops, Macy's etc. The hotel did not provide breakfast, but there are good deli's near by.... more

We booked this after lots of recommendations from friends. We had a double room, sharing a bathroom. Whilst it is undoubtedly reasonably priced for New York, I feel it is little more than a hostel. The rooms are tiny, very dark, and the decor is extremely old fashioned. There is minimal storage space and the rooms are generally tired and... more

The hotel was good. Kinda small in places, (the elevator is NOT for the claustrophobic!!) but clean and comfortable. A bit outdated here and there, but honestly. If you're going to NYC and need someplace close to the action (this place is three blocks to a subway) that won't break the bank, try it out. We had a good time... more

Hotel 31 is a fantastic place to lay your head at the end of a busy day in New York City. Given the nature of the property (shared bathrooms, small rooms), I was nervous leading up to our trip regardless of the TripAdvisor reviews as my standards of cleanliness are unusually high.

We stayed here at the beginning of September for five nights. The fiitst thing we noticed was the location - right near the Empire State building, grand central and a host of shops and eateries. The subway was only a few blocks away. The room was fairly small and dark, but it was furnished well and very clean. We had... more

Went for a quick Labor day weekend to New York and we stayed at this hotel. The room we stayed in is small for a 1 person, let alone for 2 people. The bed is hard for my taste. Paper thin walls. The ( so called ) concierge or front desk are helpless - airhead ! Location is just few... more

It is exactly what we were looking for: Affordable hotel at an excellent location in Manhattan. We have no problems at the hotel during our 8 night stay. - People at reception OK - Our room (double bed with shared bathroom) was clean and quiet. And to our surprise it has a nice view of the Empire from the window!... more

LOVED IT !!!! Great Location!!!! Walking distance to all the tourist spots: Empire State bldg, Grand Central Station, Times Square, 5th Ave. etc. Close to a lot of great restaurants like Guy & Gallard and Umi Sushi (gotta try this little japanese place, great hosts & food) The staff are very friendly and courteous, especially the older gentleman named "ziggy"(... more

My boyfriend and i stayed for three nights in a double with shared bathroom. The hotel had friendly reception staff, the decor was a little old fashioned but it was located in a nice and peaceful spot in manhatten. The bathrooms were always well cleaned and the air con was very effective. more
