My friend and I stayed here in December 2005. Our criteria was a good budget hotel with easy links to all the sights of NYC. We found this place through hostelworld.com and got a good rate...we paid about £300 each for 6 nights which in Manhattan is hard to beat! Lets cut to the chase, the reason we stayed here was BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAP. The lift was like something straight out of a 20's movie and the decor looked like mid 60's but that all added to the character. Plus the bottom line was that it was clean, secure and very affordable. The room and communal areas were also very clean. We opted for our own bathroom but talking to other guests the shared facilities were fine and there was never any wait so if you wanted to chop costs down even further then this would be an option. The beds were comfortable, the room had a TV/telephone/AC and it had air conditioning which although was not used in December, it would be vital in NYC sumers. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had no problems when we requested a 1AM check-in. The also stored our bags no problem on our departure day. The hotel's location is ideal, there is a subway on the corner, Grand Central is 5 minutes walk away, Empire State is about the same distance and 5th Avenue is a couple of blocks away. We walked more or less everywhere because you see more that way. We always felt safe in the vicinity of the hotel, never any trouble and there were a few cool bars along Park Avenue. Our cab from the airport (JFK) was about $40 but I think there is a standard fare to all NYC hotels. Overall, if you want a cheap, no frills place to stay in New York City in a great location then I would challenge you to do better than Hotel 31. I would definitely stay here again.
