We found this hotel clean and comfortable for a 3 night stay in NYC. It's nicely situated for mid-town with the Empire State just a couple of blocks away, Times Square 10 minutes on foot and the number 6 subway train for down town at the end of the street. There are several cafes/places to eat within a block or... more

Great Location! We thought we would need to take cabs for some locations we wanted to travel to, but we walked most places. If we need to go further (i.e. Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center Site) we took the subway, which was easy to get to from our hotel. The rooms were very small, but if you don't plan... more

We have just got back from staying in this hotel and to be honest after reading some of the reviews on here i was a bit worried if it was going to be OK - but - our room was clean, had hot water all the time and clean towels everyday, the reception staff were friendly and helpful and the... more

Its location is excellent, only two blocks from the Empire State Building and one block from the subway. The hotel is located in a relatively quiet street, providing a calm environment away from the... more

We stayed 3 nights. The staff are very friendly. The location is very central. The hotel is very clean. Although the decor is dated, that is easily overlooked given the price per night and the positive aspects noted above. Our room was on the 7th floor at the back and was quite quiet. My only complaint is that there are... more

I stayed in this hotel for 5 days and it was great! Its location is fantastic and there's a subway just on the corner. The room and the bathroom are clean... but they could change the furniture, they look like so old... more

My Wife and I stayed at the Grand Union Hotel for a week this October. The Hotel is actually exceeding expectations for the price level in downtown NYC. The point is this - when you come to NYC you have to set your expectations to a certain level. Generally in NYC, you pay 200USD just to get a room in... more

We had 5 nights at the Grand Union and we have to say it was alot better than what we expected it to be due to the low costs. We arrived late evening and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We found our rooms to be a good size and very clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a good... more
