the Lotus was a fabulous find clean and comfortable and very close to Times Square, Macy's and other attractions basic and cheap...all you need, because you are hardly ever there in the city that never sleeps the little kitchenette was great if you needed a night off dining out sharing a bathroom wasn't a problem as everyone's schedule was different...

During our trip to NYC we stayed in two different hotels and we just loved this one. We had a large room that was spotlessly clean and air-conditioned. There was a kitchen, living room and bathroom that we had to share with another room. Although the room was occupated we've never seen the guests and we had to wait for... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Lotus for one evening this past October. We were able to book just one Friday night when most area hotels had multi-night minimums for the weekend. The room was just as advertised, small, with a shared bathroom, but that was what we were looking for. The thing that stood out the most for... More

I have just come back from my first trip to New York and stayed at the Lotus Hotel on 5th Avenue. Although it does not look classy from the outside, inside it is a brilliant, clean, friendly place to stay. The staff are very helpful, booking tickets for Ground Zero for us when asked, and the complimentary breakfast was good... More

A perfect base for enjoying NYC. Right beside the empire state building this hotel is clean, great value for money. The only downside is the shared bathroom but for the location and price it's only a minor problem! More

My sister and I had a fantastic stay in NYC. I found the hotel on Tripadvisor. It's very clean, breakfast is included (which you can't find in many American hotels) and the staff were very helpful. The price was also good. We spent three nights in NYC. The hotel is situated on 5th Avenue, a block from the nearest subway,... More

Loved this hotel! We stayed for 1 week and had a fantastic time. Although only a 2 1/2 star place it is well worth the money (make sure you get a good deal!) We are already planning on coming back later this year as there is so much to see and do in the big apple!! More

I chose the Lotus Hotel based on reviews from Tripadvisor. I was also looking for reasonable rates as did not want to spend too much. Even though the Lotus had good reviews, I had my doubs. You just never know! But I was very happily surprised and very much recommend the Lotus Hotel based on my stay. Reception staff were... More

The hotel is very well located, just 400 meters. Penn Station (train / subway), you can walk with luggage. You can go to the main attractions of Manhattan walking. The room has half bathroom (sink and toilet), and a collective bathroom, but only for three rooms. The rooms are good, but they are two floors with a spiral staircase, had... More

My daughter and I went to NY on a slim budget. We were thrilled with the Lotus. The beds were comfortable. Our room was quiet for the few hours that we were even in our room after full days of touring. We did not have any issues with sharing the common area with the other room in our area. In... More
