Hotel Boutique at Grand Central, New York, United States of America

Perfect location, attentive staff, thoughtful refreshments, and lovely terrace view.

There are loads of hotels like this in Manhattan, aiming for the 200 a night market with basic facilities and a few nice touches. This hotel does have a few nice touches and if you can get a deal then take it. Beware there’s a hidden charge of about 30$ a night for ‘amenities ‘ which is really annoying. I hate hidden charges. Yes, it’s in the small print when you book but it’s just a way to lie about the real cost. The hotel is fine. Right next to Grand Central, typical NY rooms, clean and modern bathroom. Not many frills but it works.

Nice hotel. Really awesome location. Just a block from Grand Central. I like the free water bottles that are available. My only issue was a lack of a refrigerator in the room, and no ice machine. The housekeeping staff only gives you one washcloth, but I left a note that I needed another and was accommodated without issue. Overall I like this hotel and would stay here again.

This was a great hotel in mid-town Manhattan. Clean and well-appointed. I loved the free cold water and laundry facilities!

The only negative experience at this hotel was the surprise penalty fee at checkout. $19.95 per day as a penalty for booking through Hotel.com which made no sense since they need the third party bookings to let people across the world know they exist. Without Hotel.com we would have never booked there yet we were penalized for it. Other than that, the service was friendly and efficient, the room modern and spotless and location perfect.
