Havens Beach

I thought this hotel was superb. Amazing location in an eclectic, lively neighbourhood; and great value-for-money for NYC. Really friendly and helpful staff. And the room was simple and utilitarian, but also exceptionally well-designed and aesthetically and stylistically so cool as well. Free cocktails made for a nice welcome gift, and the overall energy and vibe of the stay was so on-point. One *tiny* quibble was the low pressure from my showerhead, but that was a small inconvenience at most. I've visited New York many times before, but staying uptown in the Heights this time was an excellent decision, rather than defaulting to midtown area. I'd highly recommend choosing Radio Hotel if like me you're an international traveler and you want a place to stay that's way away from the tourist spots, but from which those spots are still easily accessible (1 train straight shot down and up for the win). The staff and building are a credit to hoteliers the world over, and whoever is in charge there should be roundly applauded for the quality of service they have effectively delivered.

We loved our stay at 1 Hotel BK! Service was phenomenal, beautiful views, and the room was absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 experience.

I loved how modern and clean the hotel was and our room was perfect for my son (9) and I! We had a queen bed with a nice view from the 9th floor. It did get loud in the middle of the night with street sounds from below but we used his white noise machine and that helped a lot. My only issue was that the blinds are very sheer and the light comes right in so our room never really got dark. I used a head band and wrapped it over my eyes at night and it worked perfectly. Our room got cleaned nicely every day of our three night stay. The breakfast was really nice with lots of options. There were big lines every morning but I was so impressed with how quickly the staff got people seated. I liked that there were plenty of elevators so the wait was never long to get on. The staff was very polite and so friendly. The location is perfect with it being near Times Square, Central Park and the water (if you want to walk down to catch a ferry...we did Circle Line to the Statue of Liberty and back). The price was not too bad, considering all that was included and the location. I would recommend this hotel...best one I've been to in NYC and I've visited a lot.
