Holiday Inn Downtown Hotel

Holiday in Soho is nothing fancy, but if you want a Soho location (technically its in Chinatown, but literally 1 block from Soho and not in the middle of the Chinatown mayhem) but without the late night noise, and traffic, go for this hotel. It took us 2 minutes to walk to Broadway, and 5 minutes to walk to the heart of Soho. Perfect for both shopping and nights out. Service was great - we got automatic late check out as I'm a Hilton honours cardholder, and they didn't mind when we checked in at midnight after the flight from the... more

I based my expectations on past Holiday Inn experiences and other NYC area hotels and was definitely let down. The overall price was probably fair considering the location, but the value was definitely far below average. I was not able to get internet in my room with either standard method. There is no wall jack to connect to in the room and the wireless connection was so low I had to work from the lobby. Having a good internet connection is very important during my travels, considering the trip was for business and that I work in the... more

This is not a luxury hotel, it offers few amenities and the location is not great. But my room was clean, the air conditioner worked and I didn't get stuck in the elevator, as an earlier reviewer did. I paid $179 (plus another 16% in taxes) which puts this in the lower price range for this kind of hotel. The neighborhood is called many things on maps and in guideboks, but it is definitely Chinatown, though it's close to Little Italy, Tribeca and Soho. The front desk staff was capable, but I wouldn't call them friendly or helpful. The... more

Room was small but clean. Staff was excellent.Area is bustling Chinatown--very interesting. We were just steps from subway station to uptown. Little Italy(great pizza at Lombardi's) is just a couple of blocks away. We walked to Trade Center, Brooklyn, Soho, Lower Eastside(however Katz's was a disapointment--corn beef not as tasty as our Detroit corn beef). I would go back again.

The hotel is not located at the most beautiful location but the hotel itself is perfect. Friendly staff, breakfast adequate and a big bed. The rooms aren't big but convenient and very clean. Television, iron, ironing board, hair-dryer, stereo (cd's&radio) all included. And expect a daily newspaper in front of your door during the week in the morning. We had a perfect stay!

I have just returned from one week vacation in New York City. The hotel was excellent, me and my girlfrined had a great time! I have seen different reviews and was little bit worried but everything was perfect. The hotel is in fact in Chinatown, but Soho, East village, Ground zero are within walking distance. I would recomend this hotel to the people who has already been in New York and to those who plan to go out in the evening because all downtown area is so close and you will not loose much time.

The location, walking distance to Soho and Tribeca and immediately adjacent a station served by several subway lines, is ideal. I did not eat at the hotel because so many restaurants were so very close. The staff were extemely helpful and courteous. The rooms are plain but the price, for New York, is an incredible bargain.

Stayed here for a long weekend with my grown family. Rooms were clean and well equipped. Also, nice to have a bath to soak in after a long day's exploring! Location is very convenient for walking around the Soho, Tribeca and Lower Manhattan areas as well as having excellent subway access to the rest of Manhattan. Staff were helpful and welcoming. This was my second visit to this hotel, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This hotel is surrounded by Chinatown, has a majority of Chinese employees, there seemed to be many Chinese events - birthday parties, etc. - when we were there - certainly not a minus but something one should be aware of. The room was average - tourism okay, probably not for business trips. The bathroom was okay - definitely not luxurious. We were there for a week - the elevator was repaired twice - stopping once when we were in it - the elevator engineer was in it with us!, the escalator twice, the hot water boiler once - the elevator... more

My husband & I stayed here for five nights in early April 2005. It was our first trip to NYC and I was very happy with everything, including this hotel. We were on the 5th floor, unfortunately with a view of the building across the street. Honestly, the size of the room was larger than I expected. I don’t think we had a chair, just a king-sized bed, two end tables, and a television on a stand, but we didn’t do much lounging around the room anyway. The room was very clean and everything in it seemed relatively new (no shabby carpets... more
