I was pleasantly surprised how great my stay was at Aura Hotel. Check-in was quick and easy. Our room was very clean and spacious. You are literally down the block from Time Square so you have so many restaurants and shops around you. We really enjoyed their late-check out option.

Friendly staff, soft lighting is nice, A/C worked after calling for someone to fix it. Bed & pillows are fairly comfortable, very small rooms, the water pressure was just okay, our neighboring guests were quiet, but the doors slam throughout the night. Also, there was a gap between our room door when closed so a beam of light shined through which made it difficult to fall asleep. It was more affordable compared to other hotels in the area, so if that’s why you’re booking it- it’s a great choice.
