Elevators are uncomfortably small. Room was nice but everything felt cheap, it felt like you had to be extra careful. Staff isn’t friendly.

Room is very small, especially the bathroom. The pictures on hotels.com and online are deceiving. The bathroom and the sink are much smaller than shown. The hotel elevator only fits 4 people with luggage. It's a very small elevator and hotel, as well as room.

Hotel was cute, and modern. Room looked a lot different than what was in the pictures. Also disgusting dirty area as soon as you walk out of the hotel. Homeless urinating in the streets, etc.

I had adjoining room. I can hear everything even a whisper. I was trying to keep the volume down but the next door had TV on all night. I couldn’t sleep. I could hear candy unwrapping. Not sure if different room would be different. Good location & reasonably clean. Tiny sink in bathroom. U could hit ur head on glass shelf over the sink if u are not careful.

The $29 resort fee is a joke. It covers a $10 credit at the bar plus a weight room they should be embarrassed about (tiny and barely equipped). Room was a decent size but could have used a dresser and comfortable chair to sit in

Reception staff were very helpful and friendly.
Breakfast and bar good.
The rooms were a bit dark and old fashioned, but very clean and comfortable.
Location close to Union Square, althoughTaylor St is a bit rough - many vagrants on the street.

This is an older building that has been renovated. Some of the interiors feel their age, and there is a single elevator which may lead to a wait to get to a high floor.
What makes the Tilden Hotel feel special is exactly the fact that it is comfortable in the Hygge sense with exceptionally good service. The lobby has ample space for relaxing, working, and playing board games. The morning coffee shop is excellent, serving great complementary coffee and tea, as well as fruit and pastires, including Kouign Aman, a delightful baked good that is often hard to find! The attached restaurant, the Douglas Room, is both hip and delicious, and is also a good place to get plated breakfast items like avocado or salmon toast and vegetable hash with eggs.
The rooms have comfortable beds and Malin Goetz amenities. There are also in room K-cups (the compostable kind) and a Keurig, but the guys at the lobby desk were always nice enough to give us cups of hot water from the coffee shop to take up to our room when we wanted to make tea. We stopped by the Hilton lobby bar and rooftop bar next door, but always preferred hanging out in the Tilden hotel because we felt much more at home!
