It was fine.
Pros:

It was fine, but neither the room nor the lounge were as nice as described on the website. Additionally, the Wi-Fi didn’t work and the room was boiling, even when we tried to use the AC. The staff were very friendly and the location was good, but nothing about the place really stood out, and there are better places for a similar price.

Pros:

Posizione é unica nota positiva, Hotel non 4 STELLE!!! il letto con una base in legno da impalcature malamente pitturato di bianco, neanche in un ostello credo abbiano letti cosi’ scadenti.

Cons:

Colazione assolutamente scadente, male, inutile, da non prendere in considerazione, pulizia appena sufficiente, una volta abbiamo trovato asciugamani con macchie e altro con peli.

Magical Moderne
Pros:

I love this little boutique hotel and have stayed here twice now. The staff are super lovely and very friendly - they often learn your names and just make you feel so welcome. Both rooms on both visits were great. Love the modern(e) styling.
The rooms are clean and tidy. The rooms have a small fridge and they even provided a kettle (requested in my booking). The location is incredible, with a great little store on the corner open late.

Stuck for a storm
Pros:

I didn’t plan on staying at the Moderne Hotel—but thanks to the recent NYC snowstorm, I found myself unexpectedly stuck there, and honestly, I couldn’t have landed in a better place.

From the moment it became clear that travel wasn’t happening, the staff at the Moderne turned a stressful situation into a genuinely warm and memorable experience. Melisa and Andy at the front desk were absolute stars: calm, kind, and incredibly helpful, even while juggling a lobby full of stranded guests. They made everyone feel seen and taken care of, which goes a long way when the city is frozen solid outside.

The bellmen, Hamza and Jerry, were equally fantastic—friendly, upbeat, and always ready to help with luggage, directions, or just a reassuring smile. You could tell they truly cared about the guests’ comfort, not just doing their jobs.

And a huge shoutout to their manager, Rob, who clearly sets the tone for the whole team. His leadership shows in the way the staff works together seamlessly, with professionalism and genuine hospitality.

Being stuck because of a snowstorm isn’t ideal—but if it has to happen, this is exactly the kind of hotel and team you want around you. The Moderne Hotel didn’t just give me a place to stay; they gave me a sense of comfort and humanity when it mattered most. I’ll absolutely be back—hopefully under sunnier circumstances, but with the same amazing staff.

Pros:

Location is terrific for visiting Central Park, Broadway, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, etc. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nicely decorated. We had extended family in multiple rooms, so the guest lounge was a great place for us to meet and have breakfast or coffee together.

Cons:

Somewhat small room and bathroom, though that seems the norm in New York City. My wife thought the bed was kind of hard, though it was fine with me.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt, aber nur geeignet, wenn man nicht zu viel Zeit im Zimmer verbringen will.
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich, verständnisvoll und zuvorkommend. Die Ruhe nachts mitten in einer Grossstadt war unerwartet gut.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte kein Tageslicht, da knapp vor dem Fenster eine nächste Mauer stand.

Bien situé pour un cour séjours, l'hôtel manque de services
Pros:

La gentillesse des personnes qui travaillent dans l hôtel ( très serviables)
- les personnes présentes à l'accueil au top avec leurs clients et les personnes de la sécurité parfait

Cons:

Les cadre de lits une aurore!!! toutes la famille c'est cogner.....
À 4 dans la chambre c'était très petit ont se sent pas bien
L'hôtel et en travaux....
(Pas de petit déjeuner ) une machine à café, thé, chocolat, céréales à la demande si non rien d autre..... à revoir
Pas de service pressing ( linge quotidien de la famille)
Parking payant pour les clients et c'est compliqué pour aller à votre véhicule ( vous êtes obligé de passé par la réception......
Aucun service, restaurant, salle de sport .....

Pros:

Location was great. Staff were friendly. Room size was fine.

Cons:

The breakfast they advertised was not really very substantial. They had a few pastries and a small selection of cereals. If you were not down at 7am precisely these had mostly gone and there were several times we were waiting for pastries to be replenished. Looking back at historical reviews this has been an issue at the hotel for a while. It is not a major problem, if you are expecting it, but if you were hoping to get a substantial breakfast to fuel a full day of sightseeing, this is not what is available at the hotel.
