Overview

Discover Unmatched Comfort at the Gatsby Hotel, a 3-Star Gem

Set in the heart of New York City's vibrant Lower East Side, the Gatsby Hotel is a testament to sophistication and convenience, making it a prime choice among the best hotels in New York City. This new boutique establishment prides itself on full-service amenities including complimentary WiFi, valet cleaning, and room service, ensuring a stay that combines luxury with the comforts of home. Its location, set in a once-gritty but now trendy Manhattan neighborhood, places guests within walking distance to the trendsetting scenes of the East Village and SoHo, marking it as an ideal hotel in New York for travelers keen on soaking up the city's dynamic culture.

Elegant Rooms Offering Supreme Comfort

Each of the 45 air-conditioned rooms at the Gatsby Hotel, the New York City hotel, is designed to be a tranquil haven for guests. Featuring white and sky-blue walls, nice wood floors, and whitewashed laminate furnishings, the rooms offer a serene backdrop after a bustling day in the city. Comforts such as premium bedding, air conditioning, free WiFi, and safes are standard, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

Culinary Delights and Sophisticated Dining

The Gem Hotel SoHo, situated in an area known for its excellent restaurant, bar, and nightlife scene, provides guests with an exceptional dining experience. Although the hotel itself emphasizes amenities over on-site dining, its location in SoHo means guests are just steps away from a variety of renowned restaurants, cafes, and bars, making it easy to explore local culinary delights.

With valet cleaning service and room service available, along with a 24-hour front desk and concierge services, guests are assured a stay free from hassle and full of convenience.

Entertainment and Leisure Right at Your Doorstep at Hotel Gatsby

This 3-star hotel is a stone's throw away from the energetic Bowery area, Chinatown, and SoHo, making it a haven for guests looking to dive into New York's entertainment options. Its prime location ensures that nights are as exciting as days with access to fashionable districts like Nolita and the East Village, all renowned for their vibrant nightlife, art galleries, and shopping opportunities.

Prime Location & Easy Transportation

The Gatsby Hotel excels in convenience and accessibility, nestled between the Lower East Side and East Village, and near trendy SoHo and Nolita districts.

    Our family had a great time exploring nearby spots like Chinatown and SofA. The staff was friendly and offered amazing recommendations, especially about local eateries. We loved being a short walk from vibrant places and appreciated the cozy vibe of the hotel.

    My kids wished the rooms had a bit more space to move around and play comfortably.

    smart choice

    It was just a smart choice for a flash stay in New York with real value for money. The staff even helped me find a USB plug in my room, which was a nice surprise. Definitely check if they have everything you need before settling in.

    I really enjoyed my stay! The shower had good water pressure and was perfectly usable despite some reviews. The beds were super comfy, one of the best I've experienced during my travels. Although the room was small, it was clean and had a nice view.

    It was just a suitable option for a little getaway in New York with exceptional value. The room was cozy, but the service was decent, and they really helped with my late check-in. Make sure to double-check your charges. they might not be clear on extras.

    Great location and comfortable stay

    I had a wonderful stay with a cozy room that had a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Lower East Side, with easy access to great dining and nightlife. The friendly staff offered free coffee downstairs, which was a nice touch! However, the room felt a bit basic, and I wish there were more amenities provided.

    friendly staff
    clean rooms
    construction noise

    Staying here with friends was fantastic! We walked to the Bowery area for dinner and explored SoHo's boutiques. The location is key, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Just a heads up, though, some areas were under renovation, which made it a bit noisy at times.

    So, if you're looking for complete tranquility, it might be worth checking the schedule beforehand.

    lively locale
    comfortable bedding
    deteriorating facilities

    The buzz of the Lower East Side adds a gritty charm, making everything from restaurants to nightlife easily accessible. The room had cozy bedding and an air conditioning unit that blasted cold air to combat the summer heat, allowing for comfortable nights despite the sweltering NYC days.

    But let’s be real—this place could use some TLC. The paint was peeling around the electrical sockets, and there were signs of wear, like scuffed walls and dirty windows, which dinged the overall vibe. Although our room had a decent layout, the lack of a working TV and a non-functioning phone left a sour note. Additionally, the bathroom showed some mold around the tub, which didn't exactly scream relaxation. The complimentary high-speed internet? More like an occasional speed bump, as it struggled to keep up with larger file uploads, if it even worked at all. For one night, it served its purpose, but a little attention to maintenance would elevate the experience significantly.

    gatsby is a fantastic place! we stayed for 4 nights and really appreciated how friendly the staff was. they upgraded us to a better room after an issue at check-in. the location is super convenient, being so close to both manhattan and brooklyn, and it was nice to have free coffee and tea facilities on-site.

    Comfortable room, friendly staff, with a convenient coffee shop downstairs and quick express check-in for a smooth arrival, while being reasonably located only 20 km from LaGuardia.

    Limited dining options and no breakfast room.

    value money
    quick break

    This place was a decent option for a quick break in New York with fair value for money. We encountered dirty conditions, including hair on the floor and a filthy mini-fridge upon arrival. If cleanliness matters, it’s probably best to look elsewhere.
