Good location

It's in a good location and it's cheap for NY prices. It's cheap, so that's what you get. It's in an old building, but it's still comfortable. The bathroom is shared in some cases, but it was extremely clean and comfortable, that was a good thing.

Excellent Option

I stayed there for 3 nights, no issue no problems so far, the location is very good about 4 block from Subway (union square) and there are a lot of restaurants and small business around. Excellent option if you want to enjoy NY for a few days.!!!

Doing It Again!

The hotel room was quiet. We never ran into another person in the hall when using the shared shower/bathroom facilities. And the staff was very accommodating. They switched our room for us upon request. Coming back! Love the neighborhood!

Hassle Free Stay!

Nice staff, room, amenities, location and building. Hassel free checking in and out. I would recommend this place. The bathrooms are shared, but its not a problem. Could do with kettles in the rooms, otherwise well impressed! As a solo traveller, my single bed room was just the job.

Not bad for an economy hotel in NYC...

The location was the saving grace for Hotel 17. The room was okay- one full sized bed for two adults was a bit tight. Also, the shared bathrooms were clean, but, well, shared. Skimpy towels which were never replaces, and no maid service in the rooms during the stay. Nice, international flavor.

Great budget option

No frills but perfectly located for exploring New York in every direction on foot. Great bars, cafes and restaurants on Union Square. Sometimes a faff getting into shower in morning but we got timing right in the end!! Would definitely use again!

Good location for traveling

The staff are very nice and friendly. And it locates only few blocks from the main subways. The only part bothered me when I stayed there is the single room has water pipe sound every 5 min.

Nice hotel

The hotel looks clean and elegant. We have three people and we get a room with a twin bed and a king size bed, while there is not much spare space. Restrooms are not in the room but they are always available and clean.
