Location was perfect, and the rooftop was very nice. Staff was helpful, they had water down in the reception and a small
Pros:

The rooftop was very nice, nice place to have a break. The staff was helpful and polite.

Cons:

Very smal room. Was expected from pictures though, but was even smaller than we thought. Hard to open suitcases. Wouldn’t be a problem if you don’t have much luggage and staying for just a few days.

I guess for NYC and Manhattan its a good value for money
Pros:

The stuff was really helpfull. I had a problem with being double charged and they solved it quickly. Late check in was not a problem either.

Cons:

The AC in the room has a vent directly next to bed, which makes you cold during the night

It eas a good overnight option that was affordable and clean and safe.
Pros:

The Little Charlie Hotel was the perfect choice for me after a 4.5-hour bus ride from Boston to NYC. Located in Midtown on a quiet, safe street with plenty of nearby restaurants, it’s an ideal spot. Upon entering, the lounge felt warm and cozy, featuring comfy couches, exposed brick walls, and shelves filled with books. The concierge desk and elevators are just a few steps in. Since it was July 3rd and a sweltering 100 degrees, the pitcher of iced water and cups provided before the elevator was a welcome relief.

I requested a quiet room away from the street, and the staff accommodated me with a very peaceful room on the third floor. As noted in other reviews, the room is compact—typical of minimalist micro-living—but it includes nice touches like mid-century light fixtures, remote-controlled shades, a flat-screen TV, and a retro red fridge, giving it a sophisticated, chic feel without being overdone. The AC worked perfectly, chilling the room within minutes, and two bottles of Fuji water were waiting in the fridge. The bathroom was impeccably clean, and the square rainfall showerhead with its Japanese-style koi fish curtain was a great touch.

The highlight of the room was the mattress—cushy yet firm—along with the incredibly soft sheets and blankets. After a long, hot day, it was wonderful to get cozy and drift off to sleep. As a 51-year-old woman who doesn’t mind compact spaces, it was perfect. While I only stayed for one night this time, I will definitely return to the Little Charlie Hotel for longer stays when visiting friends and family. It offers a private, reasonable space in an expensive city without any pretense; you truly get more than what you pay for.

I also noticed the rooftop features dome-like plastic bubbles for lounging. It was too hot to experience them during this trip, but I’m already looking forward to returning in the fall to relax in them.

Cons:

The blinds didn't fully cover the window, leaving a half-inch gap that allowed light to seep into the room. Fortunately, I had a black garment to use as an impromptu sleep mask, which solved the problem.

I would choose this hotel again because of its outstanding cleanliness, comfortable bed, and conveni
Pros:

The hotel has a great location and is exceptionally clean. The room was small, but very cozy and spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the housekeeping service was excellent.

Cons:

On the downside, breakfast offered only sweet options and lacked any savory choices. Also, there was no one at the reception during the evening and early morning hours. I did not need, but in case of need there is none. The staff were polite, but not particularly helpful and sometimes seemed disconnected from the hotel operations.
