Reviews

Chris at the front desk was amazing. He was super attentive and make our stay an amazing experience. The hotel is located in midtown and walking distance to a lot of places. Highly recommend Life Hotel.

Visually the room was great, adhering to the original 19th century look- however this was marred by the typical Huge American TV- it was wedged awkwardly at an angle on the wall bevause it was simply too big for the room. How about no TV, just ditch it- people are glued to their phones anyway. The most negstive part of the stay was the appallingly unprofessional manner of the morning front desk clerk Sunday, June 28, 2026. He was a tall blond person from what I remember. When I told him I had misplaced my camera and that while I didn't find it in the room, please if housekeeping finds it, please let me know. He just shrugged and said 'do you want ti go up and check room again, we're not responsible... It wasn't what he said but the lack of any concern at all- he simply did not care and his attitude made me feel like I was a pesky gnat.

our room was quiet, centrally located and great access to all the subway lines. we ended up watching a lot of the World cup late at night at the hotel bar. As a former NYer, I appreciated the location to theaters, Penn Station and walkability factor. thank you Anita Bloch

Ideal location for Manhattan adventures, both uptown and downtown. Tucked away on a quiet street yet just a half-block from 5th and 6th Avenues with quick accessibility to bus and subway options. Room was generously sized and comfortable. Staff were always kind and helpful. Will definitely come back next time we make it to the city, thanks!

The room was very clean and quiet. We had an excellent stay! We had to remind staff a couple times for a request we had that didn’t get fulfilled at first, but they acted quickly and resolved it once we reminded them. Otherwise it was a great stay!

We had a great stay the staff was friendly but if you ask for early check in don’t get too excited. Our early check in was approved only to find out it actually wasn’t and we were told that it happens all the time.

Had a couple of small issues on arrival which their maintenance guy sorted straight away. The only other issue I had was a duplicate room charge which unfortunately took a few days to sort but once I found the right person to deal with this it was all sorted. Would definitely return here again.

The hotel was beautiful and very boutique but the resort fee was extraordinarily expensive without additional amenities.
-
This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a very good location. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The bed was just okay but the restaurant and bar are great.
-
The room was impressive 1800s vibe, reminded me of my grandma's home. However the bathroom has some molds on some corners of the sink. I think an exhaust would help lessen that. Nevertheless, the whole stay was a pleasant experience and would luv to go back next time. And if you luv Korean stuff, this hotel is in the midst of Korea Town, and that is a treat!
