Było ok!
Pros:

Podobało mi się, że pomimo łazienki współdzielonej z innymi osobami kran i zlew znajdowały się w pokoju hotelowym. Oprócz tego kawa i woda były dla każdego za darmo. Dodatkowo, obsługa była bardzo pomocna i miła.

Cons:

Minusem było to, że w pokoju było dość ciemno przez fakt, iż było mało światła, oświetlenia w pokoju (lamp). Również było dość głośno w nocy z zewnątrz, ale to chyba jest urok Nowego Jorku i przez to było głośno.

Infelizmente não pretendo retornar, nem indicar.
Pros:

A localização está ok, pois fui eu que escolhi, então ok.

Cons:

As fotos que disponibilizam do quarto não foram as mesmas do quarto que eu fiquei. A cama não tinha cabeceira, tinham duas camas num quarto pequeno, então não sobrou espaço nem pra caminhar direito no quarto. A janela não dava vista pra rua, e sim para um lugar escuro. O barulho do ar condicionado do vizinho incomodou. O chuveiro do meu andar não esquentava, tinha de tomar banho em outro andar. Demoraram pra me atender quando cheguei, vizinhos tiveram de abrir a porta pra mim (na confiança). Na verdade é um hostel, não um hotel.

Muy buena relación calidad-precio
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, el metro a 10’ andando y el midtown a 30’. La verdad que está justo en el centro y tiene muy buenas conexiones. El wifi funciona bien, tienen secador de pelo y a pesar de que no tienen servicio de habitaciones, te dan toallas y sábanas limpias cada vez que lo pides. También disponen de una fuente de agua gratis y la puerta va con código. Te dejan guardar las maletas en una sala después del check out. Las camas son muy cómodas (colchón mullido, no duro). Tienen un cajero para sacar efectivo.

Cons:

Nuestra habitación tenía el lavamanos pegado a la cama y era un poco incómodo. No tiene ascensor para subir las maletas, con lo que si te toca una habitación en una planta superior y llevas mucho equipaje puede ser un incordio. Es un hotel muy pintoresco, con murales y decoraciones muy extravagantes. Personalmente a mí no me supone un inconveniente, pero para gustos, colores.

A great new find in the city with lots of historical and artistic character
Pros:

I love the historical artistic nature of the Carlton arms Hotel.. I’ve also found the staff to be unfailingly, friendly and interesting. During my recent visit last week, which was my third time at the hotel, I also discovered both Lucia’s pizza slices and they Think Coffee shop two blocks to the south

Cons:

I would’ve liked double Jacuzzis in the rooms, French lavender honey toast served in bed for breakfast, and an IMAX cinema for on the first floor of the establishment. Otherwise, the Carlton arms and staff are my new go to affordable hotel in NYC. Thanks guys. Mark Micale.
