Colonial House Inn

This is such a wonderful place. I have been staying here for years when I come to NYC and would not stay at any other place. The staff really makes you feel as though you are part of the family and it honestly is a second home to me and now my partner as well. It is very clean and the staff is so helpful in every way. No question is to big to ask them, as they always if they do not know the answer will look it up for you. As soon as I walk through those doors it feels like home. I recommend this to everyone that is looking for a great centrally located place to stay. The subway is so close and there are many great eating places around there. It is a beautiful building with wonderfully decorated rooms that are so warm and cozy. I am coming back for sure for Gay Pride. I would be lost without such a wonderful place to stay in NYC. Thanks again for the wonderful stay and I know my return visits will always be as great as my first time I stayed there many years ago. This place has a heart of gold as do the staff.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff is very friendly, we enjoyed the 24 hour coffee and evening happy hour. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and it felt cozy like being at home. It is in a great location near a lot of great restaurants and close to access for the subway. We are so glad we stayed here (vs a hotel chain) and got what felt like a true New York experience, being in an older and unique, yet beautiful building.

I was looking for something relatively inexpensive and close enough to public transportation that also had decent reviews. This place is certainly worth it. Clean and fairly cute, more of a B&B than a hotel. The staff were super friendly, and despite being kinda tiny, the room was just fine. Rumor has it there's a clothing-optional roof deck but the weather wasn't all that great and I didn't spend much time at the Inn. But I'd go back!

Location is very convenient. Blue line is only less than 2 minute walk. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. It may need a few renovations but that what gives it it's charm. It is a shared bathroom hotel but there are a couple of rooms you can book for a private washroom. They host a couple of activities during your stay like wine tasting. Overall happy with my stay!

Excellent place to stay! Many memories here! UI stayed here multiple times! The suite with the hot tub is my favorite! - has a great shower too! Very peaceful vibe and great location! The roof top terrace was nice too! I wish the new owner would make it a hotel again, sad.

Spent 10 days in NYC with the fiancee. Great location for subway trips, you can get anywhere on the city just by walking a few meters and taking the sub. Room was great, confortable beds, clean bathroom everyday (we got a suite - greatly recommended! But their shared bathrooms were clean all the times we saw them). Staff was amazing, really attentive to our stay there. We really have no cons except to climbing up 3 flights of stairs, but that kept us on shape :) (being in the US right). Pillows could be better but then we didn't ask them any replacements so they couldn't know it during our stay. Really really recommend it to any couples (or solo travellers!) That want to explore the whole city, while staying at a great location in the heart of Manhattan. We fell in love with it and will certainly be back someday in the future. Couldn't recommend more!

Service is very polite and helpful. Continental breakfast is served until 10am; tea and coffee I served throughout the day. Our room was small but very clean and communal bathrooms are generally on each floor and also clean. However, there are rooms with a private bathroom as well. The hotel is situated in a great location!! We would come back as it is a great functional base if you want to explore the city.

The stars go to The staff as they were super friendly and helpful. There is no elevator, the stairs are very narrow. The superior room is a standard room at a good hotel, nothing special. The bathroom pluming needs serious work. The carpet is old. The air-condition is not great, it's manual! I don't think it's a kid friendly as it is very hard to take the strollers upstairs with the kid and luggage. The breakfast is very basic, bagel with cream cheese and jam, cereal with milk, bananas and apples, hot tea and coffee...Location is good as it's close to the E and C train, One block away from the 23rd st station.
