Would stay here again

by aprimo88

Stayed Dec 7-9 2005. Had no problems with bugs, rodents or cleanliness. I stayed by myself in room 510 and had a view of the Empire State Building. Sharing the bathroom was no big deal. My room had its own sink and BLOW DRYER! Also, no need to bring your own towels, soap, shampoo or hand lotion - they were provided.

My only complaints were that the room was too hot during the day and the hallway sometimes smelled of cigarette smoke, of which I'm not sure if the source was hotel staff or all the European guests.

• Pros: Value, Cleanliness, Location
• Cons: Overexuberant heating

Worth staying at...

by dealinhoz

Depending on the purpose of your trip to NYC, hotel 31 is great for those that have been b4 and those who are first-timers. 5 of my friends packed into their largest room which had a twin and full size bed w/ our own bathroom (there is a communal bathroom too) for $105 a night. We went during new years and $105 is a steal of a price considering you're in the quiet and charming Gramercy/Murray Hill area. Amenities are average and so is the service... but hey you're not staying at the hotel to watch tv or socialize w/ the staff. The Empire State building is 4-5 blocks away and the 6 train is 1 block away. I will definitely be coming here. *warning, elevator is small and slow.

• Pros: Cheap, Close to landmarks, Close to 6 train
• Cons: Slow elevator, Slow service

Great Place, Great Price

We have been guests at Hotel 31 on several occasions over the last 5 years and have always been very happy with the hotel. Immaculate rooms, great location and very affordable. I must say that I truly miss Robert he was wonderful and always remembered me when I would call for reservations. The last few times that we stayed their I found that the staff at the front desk were a bit disorganized, and had some communication problems. However I will definitely be back again and again.
