Hotel 17

This was a good choice for our stopover visit, 3-4 blocks from the subway and in between the Village or midtown. Inside felt historic but clean, including old-style elevator and a shared bathroom that was available each time we needed it. Having the sink in the room was sufficient given the room price, and we were happy having a queen bed plus a single bed for our daughter. Also helpfully provided free wifi, though it was very slow. Courteous staff. Very good value if you want to be in the city.

Everything was clean comfortable & extremely well priced.Would be nice to have a microwave in room.

Hotel 17 is good located and the rooms are clean. Only the staff could be more friendly.

Room was clean and had everything I needed, including blow dryer and safe. Shared bathroom was clean. For the money, it was a good deal in Manhattan.

I came to NYC to do the tourist thing on a budget. I stayed in a 1 twin room with a shared bathroom. The price was great compared to the big NY hotels. The shared bathrooms were not a problem as there were 2 in my hallway alone. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I'm a student that stayed for 2 weeks, the rooms were clean and great for a student on a limited budget. The rooms are small but it doesn't really matter as you are only there to sleep and are out and about during the day. Bathrooms were always clean

Imagine my surprise when I walked to my room and noticed the two bathrooms in the hallway and again when I opened the door to my room and found a ~ 7" by 15" room with a single bed. I choose the hotel based upon location and reviews and failed to noticed that it features shared bathrooms and tiny rooms. Oh well, it worked well for me because I was in town for one night. The hotel was clean, quiet, and in a great area near Union Square and Gramercy Park. Seems to cater to young, foreign travelers.

Nice place, comparatively reasonable price and great location

I had reservations about sharing a bathroom, but it was no problem, especially since there were sinks in the room. The shower didn't drain so well in one bathroom, but did so in the other. At all times the bathrooms were very clean. Hotel 17 was the perfect location for us. Our daughter was only 10 streets away, an easy 20 minute walk. Less than a block away was Grammercy Cafe. Great food and coffee. I loved the old world feel of the hotel. The beds were good and the room was very quiet. I plan to stay there again. Above all the experience far exceeded the price of the room.

I'd give it a five but that would make this too unbelievable....An old time well apportioned small, comfortable and efficient with an excellent and out-of-the-way staff. You do share bathrooms which are numerous and across the hall; we never had any timing conflicts tho. and the place was booked. The location is unbeatable for Soho, The Bowery, The Village, all the great shopping on 5th Ave. The neighborhood feel along 2nd Ave. and Lexington Ave. The Gramercy Park area, right there, has a real close big market, lots of little restaurants. Union square, and the Saturday weekend market and all the open street seating is maybe three blocks away, Midtown is an easy walk. We'll be going back, absolutely.
