Very convenient location. Room just large enough, but fitted sheet on bed too small and would not stay on mattress which became uncomfortable. Coffee service in lobby but coffee was weak. Hotel guests were quiet and seemed to respect quiet policy. Bathroom was clean but shower not great and water temp difficult to control. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Lots of shops and eateries nearby. Pretty good value for the price.

The hotel was clean, and everything was as expected from the pictures. The location is a plus, very close to Soho and Noho, very accessible to train stations and also there are a lot of options to grab a bite or a drink nearby. The only thing is that the price for this specific time of the year is way too high for what you are actually getting. But everything was clean and proper, and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

This hotel was very clean. Location is great! Bathroom space is a little tight for getting ready. The only drawback to this hotel is that there is no room key. Everytime you leave and would like access to your room again you must ask the front desk to open the door.

Don’t stay here! Yes NYC is expensive but spend a little more and stay at a better place. Room was just a bed and tiny bathroom, no relaxing after a long day. Basement rooms get all the street noise so forget about sleeping. TV didn’t work. Staff were friendly and location is great but this should be an emergency situation only.

This a clean facility in a location easy to get uptown for museums and theater. Walking is easy in soHo and the Bowery. In my 4 day stay the coffee in the common area was not consistently available. Like so many small hotels in NYC there was no ice available. The room was never cleaned in the four days

The place was clean and the check-in was fine. However, there were some major problems that may have been fixed by now: 1) the electronic key making machine was out-of-order so you had to wait for staff to open your room, 2) the AC control didn't work, 3) the shower would NOT heat up.

This was a great place to stay. Justin made the stay even more welcoming. Everything was clean and presentable and the rooms are good for two. If you want to explore all day - this is the place! Also very safe. Good pizza next door!

The room was very clean. We were on the ground floor so had essentially no windows as the AC unit covered most of the window; didn’t mind as we only really needed a place to sleep but just reporting on that. Additionally none of the electrical outlets worked but luckily we brought portable chargers and had a short stay. The building doesn’t have good soundproofing so could hear noises from the street and hallway. However for the price point all we really wanted was a safe place to stay with a clean bed and a clean and functional bathroom—which this hotel delivered.

Disappointing Stay – Cleanliness and Poor Service Unfortunately, our stay at Gatsby Hotel in NYC was quite disappointing. The room was not clean, and the bed was uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The check-in experience was particularly frustrating. We were left waiting outside our room for 30–40 minutes because the front desk staff gave us a key card to access the room, even though the door had a number lock. The front desk lady did not know the access code, leaving us stranded in the hallway with no immediate solution. Basic cleanliness, comfortable bedding, and a smooth check-in process are the bare minimum expectations for a hotel. Unfortunately, Gatsby Hotel fell short on all three. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this hotel unless these issues are addressed.

Staff were great. Especially the night time staff member. Always cheery and greeted us when we returned. Not much tv channels for night time but that didn’t matter. Our room wasn’t cleaned once over the 4 nights which I thought was weird. Good hotel to get your head down at night.

We stayed at the Gatsby Hotel for 4 nights. It’s located in an ideal neighborhood in the East Village which is very accessible to shops, bars, and the train. It was very easy to get here from Penn Station. The room was overall very clean. The hotel key card maker was not working for the entire 5 days we were there, so staff had to let us in our room each time we needed to go up. This did not ruin the stay but each night they told us that it would be fixed the following day, and that was not true. Additionally, house keeping did not attend to our room (we did not have DND on the door knob). We had to find the linens closet to get additional towels and toilet paper. Our trash would just pile up. Luckily our AC was working despite other reviewers having that issue.

GREAT location. Room clean, quiet given the location, and comfortable The TV in my room didn't work. When I tried to call the front desk from the room phone, it didn't work. I walked down to the front desk. THey said "yeah, the phones don't work." They told me I needed the "big" remore to make my TV work. I told them I didn't have one in the room. Guy came up to my room, looked at my TV and told me I needed the big remote. And I could ask his front desk colleague, who came on at 11 pm. It was 11:15. I walked down to the lobby again at 11:30. Colleague could not find a remote. No TV during my stay. Dealt with 4 front desk people entire stay, they were minimally polite at best. I asked for a discount as I had no TV, and it remains to be seen if I'll get one. I have manager's email and I will follow up. Common areas were somewhat clean, but still some trash on floor, etc. (Not horrifying, but just a bummer.) The End.

The accessible room was "Garden Apartment Style" -- i.e. in the basement --but this was a small, clean, quiet well-kept hotel in a perfect location for my needs. Nothing fancy but highly recommended for anyone who wants to be located in the West Village, SoHo, Lower East Side.
