Had a great stay at Life Hotel (2 guests for 7 nights in Oct 2024). Hotel was clean, comfortable, centrally located, and with very nice staff. Free coffee amenity was lovely King bed room was tight and no space to unpack luggage but had many hangers in small closet Wish decor had more Life Magazine images instead of generic pop art Would recommend this hotel to other travelers

The hotel staff were really helpful. Location was great too. Rooms were clean and bed very comfortable. Negative points - the rooms were completely dark when lights off. We had two rooms on the ground floor with no natural light ( I think window was into another internal area but the shutters weren’t working) and you couldn’t open windows so dependant on very old noisy AC. Restaurant not open which was a shame.

When I booked the room, I thought it looked like a simple, clean NYC apt (i.e., basics, no-frills, but tidy and well-maintained). Overall, the room was clean enough though one of the bath towels had tons of hair on them, which was more than off-putting. Also, the towel rack in the shower broke - and the one on the bathroom door was exceptionally high up and not exactly practical for anyone on the shorter side. While I couldn't hear my neighbors (thankfully), I could hear the hotel staff in the morning bustling about in the hallways, which made it very difficult to sleep. Although the location is central and the price is fairly reasonable, I sadly would not recommend this hotel.

10/10 room and service. We loved the balcony on the 10th floor. The room and bathroom were gorgeous and spotless. We had a prime location, k-town is only a street away and easy access to subways. My favorite spot to stay in NYC. Will book with Life Hotel again!

Disappointing Stay at The Life Hotel My stay at The Life Hotel in New York was far from what I expected. Unfortunately, the hotel lacks a lounge or any kind of common area where you can relax or get work done. The lobby is incredibly small and offers very limited features, making it feel cramped and uninviting. Worse, the lobby had a noticeable smell of smoke. I understand it's an old building, but the smoke odor was overpowering and hard to ignore. As for my room, it was just okay. It gives the appearance of being clean at first glance, but after a closer look, it wasn't as clean as it seemed. The shower curtain smelled strongly of mildew, like a wet mop, which made showering uncomfortable. To make matters worse, I found hairs in the tub before I even used it, which was incredibly off-putting. If you're simply looking for a place to store your belongings while exploring the city, this hotel might be fine. However, I dreaded returning to my room after a long day of walking around. It was not a relaxing or comfortable space, and I didn't even feel comfortable using the shower. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're looking for comfort or a pleasant hotel experience.

What a great space in the heart of the city. Great location to visit the city. Boutique feel with great touches in the decor and architecture. Thoughtful details with the lighting. The historic feel brought a great vibe. And every single person that worked there was friendly. They greeted us as we came in, always helpful. And we enjoyed a nice coffee each morning before we would go out. The room is clean and bright.
