New Cassel Holidays

Great staff, room clean only thing the rooms are small

For the price I just cannot accept that you don’t get an in room coffee machine. They offer free coffee in lobby up to 10:30am, but I hate having to trek down first thing in the morning. Hat to also call to get shower gel as there were no extras in the room. Check in took 15 mins. Room was ok for the price. Service was good.

Good location in Manhattan for getting everywhere

This was a very pleasant experience for us. The room (King) was spacious and the bed was SUPER comfortable! When we requested items for our room (fridge and towels) they arrived within minutes. The fridge is an extra fee ($25 for the entire stay), but we knew that going into it and we had items that had to stay cold. It was worked into the cost of the stay but we each got a $30/day credit to use at the on site restaurants or bar, so it was the illusion of free stuff! I was quite satisfied and would stay here again.

I wanted to really love this hotel as it is in a great midtown location near Herald Sq. The surrounding areas are lively and safe, with lots of subway access and restaurants/coffe nearby. The hotel offers a wonderfully charming and boutique experience compared to the typical hotel. The building has old world charm. However, it is apparent that this charm comes at a cost as the infrastructure issn't up to par. One night I was awoken by honking cars at street level. The sounds came through crystal clear as if I had a window open, but upon checking the windows were clearly closed. Street level noise came through loud and clear. When opening my closet, the door knob fell right off. When using the shower, a loud vibration noise would come randomly from the wall mid shower. Not everytime, just randomly at certain points during a shower. When this noise happened, I would adjust the shower pressure and the noise would go away. A few light bulbs in my room were burnt out or dimmer. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and the overall hotel was clean. Wifi was blazing fast and stable. There is a cafe on ground floor that offers guest one free drink each day (I did not partake). There are two small elevators that can be slow when it is busy.
