Hotel Mimosa

First of all, the staff were super friendly, helpful, and responsive. They shared local food recommendations, quickly gave us another comforter when we requested it (just needed more weight for sleep!), and were diligent when storing our items on our checkout day while my partner and I traipsed through the city.

We stayed in one of the rooms with twin beds and they were comfortable. The space heater came in very handy during this February cold snap that brought outside temperatures to as low as -15 Fahrenheit. Water temperature was good, lighting was adjustable in the room. The rooms are pared down to the essentials, but the design is nice and it doesn't look like SKIMPING, just simplicity. Everything was clean and well kempt.

There were no drawers in the room or a traditional closet space, but we didn't need that as there were hangers on a rack and enough space to fit our luggage.

Conveniently located to public transit. Yes, there's a train right outside but the soundproofed windows dampen it significantly. One of the people in my party is a very sensitive sleeper and they didn't have trouble.

Good value for our money and would be happy to return anytime!

The Hotel is in a fabulous location in Chinatown, room was delightful and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. Staff at reception were really helpful regarding nearby restaurants, etc.

Very clean

It has an amazing location for traveling around New York, very good price range for what you get and very friendly staff.

Love the location and the price. Friendly staff…shout out to my man for checking my brother and I in early…we just wanted to drop off our backpack so we can go to the show, and the front desk staff was so nice he give us a room early so we did a early check in.

Thank you for the experience.

This hotel has the friendliest staff I have ever encountered, by leaps and bounds. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect stay, people very friendly. Even with lots of booking changes due to cancelled flights, the manager has done all he can to maintain our stay possible.
The room was clean and warm, we have slept very well, and it was very cosy.

Cleanliness of room. Quick hot water. Bedding. No smoking except we smelled smoke on elevator once. Quiet from street noise. Friendly daytime staff.

So how does a small hotel nearer Chinatown than Times Square attract such good reviews and features at no 12 in Trip Advisors recommended hotels in NYC? An area full of high end hotels.

Yes the rooms are small but they serve their purpose especially if you are out most of the day. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, the staff were very welcoming. The hotel is situated away from top landmarks but it only takes 20 minutes on the F line to Rockefeller Centre and a walk to the 9/11 site takes a similar time.

The Mimosa is situated near to a main rail bridge but the windows keep out the noise other than a purring when trains pass through. I was very impressed with the quad glazing. I’m not the best sleeper but had no issues at the Mimosa and we were at the front of the building on the 3rd floor.

I guess the answer to why Mimosa scores so highly is that it is what it says it is. It might not be the most salubrious hotel but it also doesn’t charge extortionate rates. It serves its purpose. It may lack lack curb appeal but makes up for that in practicality and warmness. I can see why it scores so well.

Very friendly staff! Everyone who works there went out of their way to greet us when walking through the lobby on our way in or out. The room was clean and the bathroom was very nice. Toothbrush and toothpaste supplied! The bed was super comfortable. The hallway smelled very nice.
The neighborhood is chock full of Chinese markets and restaurants, so there's always something to eat nearby.
Our room faced the train tracks, but we were not bothered by noise. They did a good job of soundproofing the windows, but that also means you can't open them for fresh air.
Basement had kitchen facilities and a vending machine for snacks.

Brilliant spot for a few nights. Good subway links and got all the facilities you need for a short break.

Il rapporto qualità prezzo e la posizione che cmq è buona perchè sei a 10 minuti di metro da tutto.. La stanza è piccolina ma ben insonorizzata quindi si dorme bene. Il bagno ha una bella doccia grande.

Convenient

Great value. Room was updated, small but sufficient. Train noise in the background but you can quickly acclimate. Bed was comfortable and firm. Blackout curtains were a definite plus.

Room was small but very clean. Plenty of hot water and a very comfortable bed. Reception staff were excellent and very accommodating in all areas. Good value hotel in NYC.

The hotel is very clean, and the staff are extremely nice. There’s a cute little area in the basement with a refrigerator, ice, a washer and dryer. It’s a tiny hotel that packs a lot in it.

Inexpensive, clean, modest stay in Chinatown! Five minute walk to F train. So many cheap eats and coffee options! Quiet as a church! The front desk told me they had a full house and my room was on the top floor right across from the elevator—I neither heard nor saw anyone. My view was directly facing the Manhattan Bridge where I could watch the train all night, but with quadruple paned windows, it was a gentle sound like the ocean. I will definitely return!

The room had everything that we needed. It was small, BUT, that's NY, so it was to be expected.
