We had a great experience at Life Hotel New York. One thing to note for some, the elevator is a little rickety and small, but it was not a problem for us.

Nice and clean property. The evening bartenders are super nice. Appreciate the complimentary coffee in the am for guests but wish they also offered breakfast at a discounted rate. Room was nice n clean but small, which is expected in NYC. Overall a nice stay.

Prentiss, 1-night trip

Staff was wonderful. Rooms were immaculate and I love that they did not get rid of original details of the building. Great location for transportation and walkability for shows.

Kyle, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean and quiet and the location was perfect for getting around in Midtown.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Enjoy the hotel accommodations, established, friendly, and helpful. The history of the building is really cool. It’s kind of tucked away just far enough from Times Square but just close enough to everything else.
Foye, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I stayed at The Life Hotel for 5 nights and enjoyed every single moment of it! The location is absolutely perfect just a couple of minutes from Times Square. Our room was on a lower floor and the size was just right for us. There’s a bar and restaurant on the first floor, so you can hear a bit of sound from downstairs, but it didn’t bother us at all. I would 100% rebook here if I visit New York City again!
Axel, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really liked the size of the room and bathroom. Well designed finishes and work. Very convenient for travelers coming in and out of Grand Central.
