Hotel 31 was about the only hotel we could afford within the NY area so we gave it a shot due to the reviews we read. No its not romantic, no its not roomy and it has definatley not been updated for many years but it is good value. (for NY accomodation comparisons) We sprung for a good room, which... more

I stayed one night at the Hotel 31 during a recent new york trip. We stayed there mainly because of our early departure with Amtrak to Toronto from Penn station, and moved from our uptown hotel to 31 because of the convenient location just a few blocks from Penn. The hotel felt very small, with narrow corridors and tiny rooms,... more

We stayed there for 5 days and it was by far one of the cheapest hotels we could find. The room was quite small and basic but very clean with air conditioning and a (small) shower/bath. There is no restaurant or bar in the hotel but there are loads of places nearby. (The pizza restaurant on the corner was ace)... more

When I stayed at this hotel I was a student and didn't have means to stay in a more expensive hotel. That said, I found this hotel to be very good. Its location was good, with a short walk to Times Square, 5th Avenue shops, Macy's etc. The hotel did not provide breakfast, but there are good deli's near by.... more

We booked this after lots of recommendations from friends. We had a double room, sharing a bathroom. Whilst it is undoubtedly reasonably priced for New York, I feel it is little more than a hostel. The rooms are tiny, very dark, and the decor is extremely old fashioned. There is minimal storage space and the rooms are generally tired and... more

The hotel was good. Kinda small in places, (the elevator is NOT for the claustrophobic!!) but clean and comfortable. A bit outdated here and there, but honestly. If you're going to NYC and need someplace close to the action (this place is three blocks to a subway) that won't break the bank, try it out. We had a good time... more

Hotel 31 is a fantastic place to lay your head at the end of a busy day in New York City. Given the nature of the property (shared bathrooms, small rooms), I was nervous leading up to our trip regardless of the TripAdvisor reviews as my standards of cleanliness are unusually high. I needn't have worried. The rooms were small... more

We stayed here at the beginning of September for five nights. The fiitst thing we noticed was the location - right near the Empire State building, grand central and a host of shops and eateries. The subway was only a few blocks away. The room was fairly small and dark, but it was furnished well and very clean. We had... more

Went for a quick Labor day weekend to New York and we stayed at this hotel. The room we stayed in is small for a 1 person, let alone for 2 people. The bed is hard for my taste. Paper thin walls. The ( so called ) concierge or front desk are helpless - airhead ! Location is just few... more
