Cosmopolitan Hotel, New York City, NY - Reviews and Hotel Information

Very clean interior. Not the most inspiring deco, but sufficient enough. Rooms were cleaned and towels changed every day, as expected. The hotel is rather quiet, except for some humming noise coming from the air-co units in the building next door. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful and do not give you any funny attitude, which is almost a norm in many places Europe. In addition, literally all of them speak fluent Spanish.

The location is very good. It's not in the hustle and bustle of the uptown, and still it's not that far from it because of the metro. The Chambers Street metro station (Red lines 1, 2 and 3) is literally two footsteps away from the front door of the hotel. Another metro station (Blue lines, A, C and E) is just one block away. In addition, a 7-day metro ticket cost less than $30 per person which is literally about £15 i.e. no money at all.

Ground Zero (and the rest of the Financial district, including Wall Street) is about 5minutes' walk away from the hotel, Soho about 10min and Greenwich village about 20 min. China town is not very far either.

They also organise an annual film festival in the area every Spring called Tribeca film festival.

There is no restaurant or cafe in the hotel itself yet (They are planning to open Cosmopolitan Cafe next door at some point but it wasn't open in April 2007), but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. Starbucks cafe is just downstairs, and so is a cafe called 'Soda Bar' which does decent enough breakfast. I happened to taste their blueberry muffins though and was very disappointed as it was hardly what I expected. Not like the blueberry muffins I'm used to in the UK: not sweet, but greasy and at the same time a bit dry, but I don't know it that was some kind of specialty. I didn't ask. The granola (sweet cruesli clusters) with fruit and yogurt, scrambled eggs and orange juice were very nice though.
