This place was phenomenal! First off, it is so cute, so quaint, and was the perfect backdrop for visiting NYC around Christmas time. The sweet girl working the desk was so kind and professional, making our check-in/out process seamless. We were able to leave our luggage there until our room was ready and was also able to leave it there after we checked out until we caught our flight later that evening (for free!) There is a small grab-and-go breakfast (mainly pastries) with a couple warm drinks available every morning, making that one less meal to pay for while visiting if you don't want to. The room itself was of course, small, but it worked for my mom and I, and honestly we barely spent any time there other than to shower and sleep. And let me say, SO CLEAN! The clean reviews were the main reason we booked it, and it definitely held up to those claims. I have no words for how cute the rooftop area is - such a hidden gem in the city. I would 100% recommend anybody stay here and I know if I ever visit again, The Little Charlie will be the first place I look for availability. Highly recommend!

Room was clean and nice, decent pizza shop across the street, nearby grand central. A/c was a little wacky in our room where it was either really cold or too warm but regardless wasn’t bad.

Room was very clean and modern. Our street view from the 5th floor was interesting to watch. There was noise while sleeping, but it's NYC, so I expected that. Continental breakfast included some tasty pastries and coffee. A grocery store, pizza place, and deli are all closeby. It was about a one mile walk to Times Square. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

This is a room smaller than your dorm room but very clean, functional, very well located, and workable if you accept that in exchange for very reasonable prices you have to deal with a kiosk, not a person. Would stay again.

I’m not sure why this property has such a high rating. The area is naturally busy, but you’d expect better soundproofing, it feels like the windows are open all the time because the noise from the intersection is so loud. I couldn't sleep during the nights. Im happy I just reserved 2 nights there. The photos showed a bathtub, but our room didn’t have one, and the staff didn’t help when we asked to change rooms. Breakfast was also very disappointing, it was just coffee and pastries and fruit (apple, banana). the croissants were so stale I couldn’t even finish a bite. Overall, not worth the rating or the price.

Classic case of quality over quantity! Had a quick overnight stay and while it is a compact hotel, it was cozy and everything was new, modern, and clean. Will repeat!

The location was convenient to where I needed to be, and the room was clean and cozy. The air unit wasn’t working, so they brought me a fan. Unfortunately, it was loud so I turned it off in the middle of the night. The walls are thin so I could hear folks from the adjacent room blowing their nose and watching tv.

Bed was comfy, check in seamless. It is true it's tiny- prob best for a short stay w maybe 1-2 ppl max, and it's in nyc so it can be loud(not sure that any other place does a better job with soundproofing). They do provide earphones. But it was clean, safe, and worked for a short stay.
