This place was phenomenal! First off, it is so cute, so quaint, and was the perfect backdrop for visiting NYC around Christmas time. The sweet girl working the desk was so kind and professional, making our check-in/out process seamless. We were able to leave our luggage there until our room was ready and was also able to leave it there after we checked out until we caught our flight later that evening (for free!) There is a small grab-and-go breakfast (mainly pastries) with a couple warm drinks available every morning, making that one less meal to pay for while visiting if you don't want to. The room itself was of course, small, but it worked for my mom and I, and honestly we barely spent any time there other than to shower and sleep. And let me say, SO CLEAN! The clean reviews were the main reason we booked it, and it definitely held up to those claims. I have no words for how cute the rooftop area is - such a hidden gem in the city. I would 100% recommend anybody stay here and I know if I ever visit again, The Little Charlie will be the first place I look for availability. Highly recommend!

The room was quite small. The bed was difficult to get into, and the mattress quality was not very good.

This is the third time I’ve stayed at this property. First time was wonderful. Second time was good except I had a room facing second Avenue which was a bit noisy. This time, I hit the jackpot. A room by reception with no window which may sound attractive, but I thrilled because it is so quiet. I’m here for our trip and to stay so close to my office and have a quite nice sleep as a dream. The bathroom is huge. The room is clean. The air-conditioning works and I’m in heaven thank you. No thank you.

This was an ideal spot for a quick solo trip to NYC. The single/twin rooms are tiny and cozy -- reminded me of being in a cruise ship cabin! -- and thoughtfully designed with everything one needs. Earplugs were provided in case of street noise, but for a Saturday-night stayover I didn't find I needed them as Second Ave is quiet on a Sunday morning. Convenient spot with a neighborhood feel, Grand Central is just a short walk away. Getting into the building late after staff hours was easy with the key card, and coffee and breakfast pastries the next morning were appreciated.

The room is small and basic, but the bed is very comfortable. The hotel is clean and has a very convenient location in a quiet area, away from the noise and hustle of central New York. It’s a great option for solo travelers with light luggage who are looking for practicality and a good rest.

NYC last minute..

We really enjoyed our stay at the little Charlie hotel. We especially enjoyed having our breakfast that we purchased from another location on the rooftop. Great little addition at the hotel. Our one complaint was the water pressure in the shower was weak and the temperature of the water was not hot enough. Room size with a little small, but that is to be expected from a New York City hotel. The staff was fantastic, complementary coffee, croissants muffins apples in the morning was also great. Very cute hotel, would definitely stay there again.

It was small but comfortable for two. We were by the street so it was alittle noisy. The most important thing is it was clean and everyone was helpful.
