I stayed at the Leo House for a conference and found it clean, neat and, most important of all, the bed was firm enough!! Everything worked (okay, well the handle of the shower fell off, but...whatever) the towels were fresh, the sheets fine, and the staff (especially the evening staff) was friendly. I didn't eat the breakfast because my conference... More

I have stayed at the Leo House many times over the years. It is old but clean. The staff is always very helpful and friendly.

Staying there is part of the New York experience. As the rooms are small with no frills, except I did have a T.V., one did not linger too long and you find yourself out exploring. They serve a very extensive breakfast except on Sunday so my friend and I would meet and plan our day...out the door by 9:00 a.m.... More

Not for everyone but for those who only want a clean, comfortable place to stay in the heart of the city, Leo House is terrific. A friend and I stayed six nights - we had a small room with private bath (lots of hot water) but some rooms have shared facilities. There was a television and a desk but to... More

I had wanted to try Leo House for quite a while after a recommendation by an acquaintance. It fully met my expectation of a clean, no-frills, affordable and quiet place. Very near 3 subway lines, well connected to anywhere one needs to go on Manhattan. I look forward to going again...

My friend and I just stayed at the Leo House for 4 nights. The staff was friendly and helpful, the beds were comfortable, the room was clean, the size adequate, the water hot and plentiful, the location very convenient, the price perfect, and Sister Kathleen,in charge of Hospitality, deserves 5 * on her own. So what was the problem? On... More
