The facility is excellent and conveniently located. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a shared bathroom but it was kept very clean and there was a great breakfast.

This is an older building in a safe area. The rooms are tight, but efficient. Bathrooms are very clean, bed is very good, location is very good. Continental breakfast was very well done, but the coffee could be better. My room was a bit drafty and the TV did not work. I would go back and choose a room with private bath.

The location was great, close to things. Nice market on the corner, close to the subway. Paid way too much money for a tiny room which is old and out dated. The hallways smell like cleaning products and bathrooms.

Very nice, cozy and cute little spot. Feels you’re staying over someone’s house. Nothing luxurious, but you have everything you need; they’re so hospitable and so welcoming! I loved it. Nestled right in the middle of all these nice spots.

A cute brownstone in a quiet neighborhood
Wonderful bed and breakfast in a nice neighborhood. Breakfast was very good. 3 story building without an elevator. Room was small but didn't spend much time there. bathroom is shared, but easily accessible. Tony was very helpful and a hoot to talk to. A wonderful old building to stay in.

Stay away its filthy
Guess all the good reviews from 2020 or prior are not relevant as the place was filthy. Bathrooms were not clean and was told the maid will come on Monday when checking in on Sat. We didnt end up staying on account of this and left right at check-in. However were still charged for one night. Havent had a worst experience.

Dirty sheets
I asked for clean sheets because the when I pulled the bed sheets back there was hair and they looked dirty with oil or something The manager said I did the same thing last time, when the bed was dirty the last time too I only wanted a couple sheets to throw over the other ones, he gave me a bad attitude like I was asking for too much and said I was the only person to ever ask for extra sheets I said well, then what’s the problem and offered to pay for the extra sheets, he went to get the sheets in the basement and took like 10 minutes, gave me 2 sheets that were folded all messed up, when I opened them they smelled bad, probably too cheap to get clean ones, later another employee, spanish speaking did me the favor of bringing me a clean sheet that you could tell was folded and clean.

Great value and location, it was a quiet, friendly, lovely place to stay after busy days in the city. The room with private bath was perfect for my daughter and I. It was so nice to have coffee and light breakfast every morning. I definitely recommend it and I plan to come back again!

Location was really good. Close to lots of bars & restaurants, subway, highline, Chelsea market & Greenwich village. We stayed for a week which was a bit too much when using shared bathrooms & toilet. It's a great place for a few nights I would say & fabulous for backpackers. Breakfast was plentiful & although we didn't use it, it was a nice little touch with the complimentary wine hour in the evenings.

I was disappointed in unhelpful and rude staff. The shared bathrooms were a horrible mess by previous users, even at 5am. There should have been some signage for the guests reminding to clean up after yourself or staff should have checked the space more often throughout the day.

Was initially hesitant to book room because of shared bathroom. Not an issue at all! Room and bathroom were very clean. It’s a Bed & Breakfast not a hotel... Would definitely stay again

My daughter and I loved everything about this property. It was clean, safe, and homey. We loved the breakfast, happy hour, and the staff were very nice and helpful. It was quiet and easy to use the restroom in the hallway. We never had to wait for one to be open. We loved the location in Chelsea - walked to Trader Joes, subway, Chelsea Market...Wonderful experience. Rooftop patio is amazing.

It’s quaint and fun, if you like stairs
This is a very special, but slightly different place to stay. It is well located to visit everywhere in and around New York and is just over an hour to get to from JFK. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are small where I was on the top floor. This place is not ultra modern, but this is more than made up by its quaintness. The bathrooms on the top two floors are modern and very clean, which makes up for them being shared. The beds were very comfortable. My visit was close to Halloween and both the Colonial Inn Hotel and local property’s made an effort, people even drove up to have photos taken. The roof garden is fabulous and on one night someone was practicing their saxophone, which was very enjoyable. This property will not suit people who do not enjoy steps or stairs, but if you want a traditional bed and breakfast and great coffee, this might be the place for you. Thank you for looking after my son and Ion our six day stop.
