Second stay, looking forward to our third!
This was our second stay at HGU New York (the last time was 4 years ago) and we have been super impressed both times. Lovely clean but compact rooms in a great location, at a reasonable price point for New York. We will be back!

Great location and bed
The rooms are small but the king size bed was super comfortable. The staff provided great service, including the cafe and bar. The location is great to access midtown and multiple subway lines. Great value for money.

Great Little Luxury Boutique Hotel
Great boutique hotel. Had a hiccup at check-in, our assigned room was occupied. We were quickly reassigned to a different room and given breakfast vouchers for our inconvenience. Great room, nicely appointed although needed more places to store clothes. Bathroom was nicely renovated and very clean. Great value for the price we paid.
