My review of Dream Hotel

The Dream Hotel is well located for the visitor interested in the Broadway theatre. Room, amenities were first rate. Only minor quibble was the bed was slightly short for a tall person.

Eclectic New Age

It was different. We're used to staying at higher end hotels but this was very good for what we were looking for. We wanted to have a fun night without any stuffiness...the rooftop lounge was cool with beautiful views and the rooms overall were not as well kept up as I would've thought but they were funky & cool. We had a great time.

Unique hotel in great location

Dream Hotel in NYC was a great experience. The staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms were cleaned daily and the beds were turned down each night. The rooms were pretty small but cozy. The location was excellent and the roof top lounge provided a geat view of the city. I would stay there again the next time I visit NYC.

Broadway shows were just a few blocks away and the subway entrance was on the same block. The deli on the corner had fresh squeezed orange juice each day and a huge variety of fresh food/beverages to choose from.

Very nice hotel

The dream hotel was very comfortable, the room wasn't big but it was always clean, the bed was soft, and it looks very nice with its blue light. Every day you find apples on your pillows :-)

A Romantic Hotel - Loved it!

I was in NYC for a week, staying by myself, and I found it a great pleasure to return to my room every night. It was clean and well-lit, but had the added attraction of moody blue lighting (optional -- you could turn it off). I also liked that the lights on the exterior of the hotel changed color, adding to the general aesthetic vibe of the place. My room was very clean, the staff was friendly, and I appreciated the apple on the pillow at night and the New York Times on the door in the morning. The location was superb, really convenient for getting anywhere in town, and I went all over. It's a short walk to the Museum of Modern Art, so you can slip that in anywhere in your schedule that fits, and walking distance to Broadway shows. The only downside was that twice the staff neglected to pick up my room service requests for the morning, so I didn't get my morning coffee when I wanted it. I think this was an isolated problem, as it only happened on the weekend, and Starbucks is just down the street anyway. I would definitely consider staying there again.

Wonderful experience

The Dream NYC was a dream. The feather beds were unbelievably comfortable. The bedding was so soft. And, the added touch of a beautiful red Delicious apple on each pillow was especially nice for a late night snack instead of a mint. After all the walking in NYC you need a little pick-me-up. Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating.

The Dream Hotel is a total dream

This was my first time not only visiting the Big Apple but the hotel as well. I was traveling alone for my 40th birthday so I was a little concerned about my well being. I felt completely safe. I was very extremely happy with my stay. The rooms are small however the comfort I felt more than makes up for it. My room was cozy and pretty. The room was clean and it provided me with everything I needed for my stay. I bragged about my room just as much as I bragged about the city I was visiting. I just stayed in a standard room and it was wonderful, so I can only imagine how the suites are. When it was time to go back to my room, I really looked forward to it. It's a short walk to so many attractions It definilty seem like a more grown up hotel; couples and such, but I?m sure it wouldn?t would be a problem if you were traveling with family. I'm looking forward to my next stay. The staff is so friendly and I loved the piece of fresh fruit I got every evening. Thanks ?Dream Hotel? for an awesome Birthday!!

Trendy and cool

After the recent renovation the Dream hotel is very trendy and cool. The rooms are quite small but so are every other room in NY. The dining options are great, the roof top bar is spectacular so spending an evening in the hotel is a great option even though you are in New York City. As a tech junkie I love the plasma screens in the rooms, but I would really like some free WiFi to be included. The rooms are broadband equipped, but it's not wireless and it costs 10 bucks a day. Overall, this is a great hotel and I would definitely stay here again.

Great Location

The Dream hotel was within walking distance to everything;Times Square, Theater District, Central Park, lots of great restaurants. Bed was extremely comfortable, but small (only full size available). Room okay, but small. We didn't use room service or eat at the hotel, too many other choices nearby. Wish there was a coffee pot in the room.

When you are in NYC anything is a close taxicab ride away. This hotel is right near the Museum of Natural History & just blocks from one of the best parts of Central Park.
