The whole aesthetic and idea behind the hotel is awesome, and very affordable which I think is a big deal. The art is super cool and at least in my room had humorous undertones. My only issue is the walls are super thin and not at all soundproof and the beds are poor quality.

This hotel really ia dedicates to the art. Diverse original art makes every room different. Good location. Good price. My first stay at a no-front-desk hotel. It worked pretty well and help was available by phone. Poor choices on the TV.

Considering the cost/night, it’s not that worthy. Room was quite small with average cleaning and the shared bathroom not always clean. We paid 423€ for three nights - definitely not worthing cost-benefit. Positive note, customer service team was very nice and always available for support.

I’m stayed at hotel des arts and had an incredibly terrible experience. I woke up with tons of very painful and itchy bites on my neck. I’m in unsure if it is bed bugs but i did not feel comfortable staying here any longer so I vacated immediately after my first night on Thursday. I was supposed to stay check out on Sunday but left early Friday morning letting the front desk know of my troubles who felt terrible. They let me know since I booked through expedia I would need to request the refund through them but would be able to approve it. I then chatted with not one but two expedia agents whom both also felt awful and reassured me I would be refunded and compensated for this inconvenience. I was charged in full $420 to not even stay there, leave with huge bites that that I am honestly still dealing with days later. Disappointed is an understatement, I truly hope I can be compensated fairly for this experience in the near future.

Good and bad

The electrocic/app key situation was problematic. When we tried to get it resolved, nothing came of it. There is no front desk person and the water took 10+ min to warm up in the shower one of the days. Rooms were super cute. The art was awesome and the bed was comfortable. The location was ideal and the downstairs bar was fun and friendly.

So, it is what it is, not bad, not great. It is very reasonable and I love Chinatown/Financial District, food and bars are fantastic. I'd go back.

Martin

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was nice but she was one person, a cleaning lady. My room was above the bar so I could hear every bass line from every song until 3am each night. That's when the music from the Irish Bank next door didn't overcome the music from the bar below. (The bar is amazing though). Just not so quiet. I only found 1 cockroach on my final day so I count this as a victory.

I liked the artist vibe and location. It looked clean overall, just a bit musty smelling. No fan. What upset me was the noise and base from the bar that’s connected . I didn’t sleep well even w ear plugs on. The last night I turned up the volume of a YouTube thunderstorm and that helped a little.

Very unique property design and style, especially the rooms. Loved the area, right beside Chinatown and a couple blocks from high-end designer stores. Never felt unsafe.
