We stayed in the two bedroom suite for 6 nights in May 2012 (4 with another couple). We really enjoyed staying in this place. The things we really liked about the suite: - Great location. We loved it here - as other reviewers have said. Close to the subway to get anywhere, out of the busiest areas of the city,... More

Fabulous location right on Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village. The area is very lively (but not crazy noisy and busy like Midtown) with lots of restaurants, small eateries and cafes in a sort of university area. Both Washington Square Park and Union Square are steps away, Meatpacking and Soho about 15 minutes walk. I did not pay attention when booking... More

For someone who has spent a lot of time in New York City, this is a fantastic place. For new visitors, be advised there is no full-time staff, lobby, or other services you get at a hotel. there also is no formal closet or room safe. The upside? Incredible value and location, spacious room, full kitchen, and feeling like you... More

This place is so good I’m not sure where to start. Our suite was every bit as good as it looks on the website. (The web photos are a more accurate depiction than the pics I took.) It was incredibly spacious which is simply not normal for New York. There’s heaps of room to spread out. The bed was excellent... More

The Contempo Design Suites are newly renovated (2011) an not only equiped with up to date television set and media access (Media-server, WLAN) but also impressingly decorated with well picked design-furniture. Everything seems... More

We stayed in one of the rooms on the 3rd floor, which we found very spacious, clean and comfortable. The apartment is located on 5th avenue and is in easy walking distance to east and west village and is one block away from a subway stop. There are plenty of bars and eateries in the area. We stayed for 5... More

I stayed at Contempo two nights last week during a business trip. I was in the third floor deluxe room. It is very large for a NYC hotel. Kitchen area is great to have. Furniture is all IKEA, or IKEA-styled. Mattress felt a bit worn - I could easily feel the indentations from usage. Still the mattress was plenty comfortable.... More

While we usually stay in hotels we opted for staying in a bb/apartment this time because of the exorbitant hotel rates and shoebox sort of hotel rooms in New York City. We almost dropped the bb idea when we found most of the bb's really unattractive/oldie/outdated or booked out. We came across this property and decided to book their only... More

I found this place totally by chance while searching the net for a nice place to stay during our trip to NYC, and I am glad I did! The room we got was just so nicely decorated and well thought out. The location is just superb. Only few minutes walk from Washington Square on one side and Union Square on... More
