No title - expert review Hotel 17 may not boast ample amenities, but it has all the character of a loveable, tough-as-nails grandfather, who of course would call all those extras new-age hotel hooey.This 100-year-old building has been the subject of photo shoots for publications like Vogue and GQ. It's no surprise. The upho... eurocheapo.com
No title - expert review This hotel is located on a serene and leafy block. If it looks familiar, that's because you've seen it in Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery. Not only was part of the movie filmed here, but Madonna has also posed at the hotel for a photo shoot. Even though this isn't a luxury property, models, a... gayot.com

An old New York experience at an old New York price. - user review A friend and I were seeing a band at Irving Plaza and decided to make a rock & roll night of it and stay at a hotel nearby (our only other options being the $400/night W or Gramercy Park). I am accustomed to relatively upscale travel and am also a bit of cleanfreak/germaphobe, so my expectations wer... brooklyn.citysearch.com

Cool and Cheap - user review I always stay here if I'm travelling alone its safe, clean and quiet. If you can get a room overlooking the street that's the best place to be; light, views of gorgeous apartments, tree tops and a sense of space. The communal bathrooms are spotless and the staff straight forward but helpful. The dar... brooklyn.citysearch.com
Mixed Feelings - user review I was in a love hate relationship with this place when i stayed. I'll first state the "love" part of it: I really enjoyed the location of hotel 17 it was only about 2 blocks away from the union square subway, also, there were a lot of places to shop in that area as well as nice delis and r... brooklyn.citysearch.com
Cheap and Cheerful - user review My mother and brother stayed here in June and were very happy. The neighborhood is a delightful tree lined oasis of brownstones, it's an easy walk to the east village and the subway at Union Square, it's quiet, and best of all it's cheap. This isn't the Ritz, but if you don't need a pool and roomser... brooklyn.citysearch.com
Fantastic place in perfect location - user review This is a charming place to stay. The staff is friendly and accomodating. The rooms are clean and "good enough". Anyone who has spent time in NYC knows that small is the standard. The shared bathrooms are clean and not an inconvenience. Check your high expectations at the door if you are e... brooklyn.citysearch.com
Never again - user review What a dump! I stayed here in Oct. 2000. The most important thing I learned from my experience is to NEVER stay at a place that does not accept credit cards and requires cash or traveler's checks upfront for the entire stay. Do yourself a favor and avoid this "hotel". Spend the extra money... brooklyn.citysearch.com
Great bargain in Downtown Manhattan for under $100/night! - user review just came back from a stay at Hotel 17. when I was first looking for a room in Manhattan for less than $100/night, most of what I saw was either way on the West Side or way up in the 50's (i.e. 51st & 3rd) and I didn't wa... epinions.com
Nice hotel for the price... - user review My teen daughter and I stayed one night at Hotel 17. The location (and price) led us to try it. It was walking distance to Union Plaza (concert hall) and Union Square. In order to get 2 beds, we reserved a triple size room. ... epinions.com
NO PRIVATE BATH...why is this not mentioned?? - user review This hotel does NOT deserve a 4 star review! And neither of the glowing reviews mention that the bath and toilet are DOWN THE HALL This should be spelled out on the hotel's web page, and if you book through Orbitz, they won't mention it either.This is the USAwe have private bathrooms in hotel roomsU... epinions.com
Great place to sleep...good location - user review As far as staying in NY on the cheap this is the place to go. I ended up in a very small room, but it was clean and well kept. The age of the hotel shows but it is not run down at all. I had no trouble at all with the bathroom. There were two on my floor for aproximately 8 rooms on the wing. They sa... expedia.com

Convenient clean and reasonable - user review Bed was firm, room was clean, sink in room was convenient as bathroom was down the hall. Bathroom down hall was very clean, water pressure was great.

Cheap NYC hotel - user review Good for those on tight budget and good location to Easat Village. But don't expect any frills.

Great budget hotel in Lower Manhattan. - user review Hotel 17 is the best value in Manhattan, primarily because it is very clean, in a great location, friendly and prompt service and costs very little by comparison. They also have several triple rooms, i.e. a double and single bed, which works out when our daughter joins us. Some people might not like... expedia.com
Awful experience - user review I am not one to complain but I feel that the only way to keep others from the same experience that my fiance and I had is to describe our service. I would feel bad if the place was just a disaster but the service was acceptable but that was not even the case. First of all, we were only going for one... expedia.com
Loved my stay at Hotel 17. - user review I enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel i.e. the elevator and wall paper. My room was a good size and clean.

It was very quiet ... expedia.com
Best NY Hotel for the Money - user review I had really no problem with the hotel. Everything was clean, staff was polite, I had no problems with my reservation, and the room was a lot bigger than most of the hotel rooms in NY for the same price.

At first I was nervous - user review I haven't stayed in a shared bath hotel since I backpacked through Europe in the 80's.

Very clean room and the bath down the hall as well... expedia.com
Pleasantly surpised - user review I was recently in NYC for a concert, and just needed an inexpensive, clean place to stay that was close to the concert venue.

My heater broke! - user review I woke up at 4 am shivering because my heater wasn't working, so I went down to the receptionist who sucked. Luckily the janitors and maids were nicer. It got fixed in about 30 minutes, I went back to sleep in my hoodie. Oh there was a hair drier in my room, I used it to heat up my bed! lol If the h... expedia.com
Pleasant Stay - user review I'd never stayed in a hotel with shared bathrooms, so I was a bit skeptical at first. But surprisingly, the bathrooms were VERY clean, and I never had to wait to use one.

Great deal for the price, good location and helpful staff - user review If you are going to New York City Hotel 17 is a very good deal. It isn't a five star hotel, but then you aren't paying five star prices. It is clean and that isn't true of all inexpensive NYC hotels. Many Europeans use it and the only potential hassel are the rooms without their own bathroom. These ... expedia.com
Not bad for price range - user review If you are looking for a basic room as a home base for exploring Manhatttan, you should consider the Hotel 17.

Great deal! - user review My parents and my brother shared a room for three at Hotel 17 and they loved it.

a good manhattan hotel - user review Overall I was satisfied with my stay. The cost came out pretty cheap compared to other manhattan hotels.

Quaint Place to Stay - user review Prior to booking this hotel we were a bit concerned about sharing a bathroom. Although a bit unusual, it was not at all a problem. Only one small elevator services the entire building, so if you can't negotiate stairs you'll need to be patient enough to wait for the elevator. On balance we had a del... expedia.com
Great Budget Alternative - user review The hotel is tucked away in a quiet street in the East Village with Union Square just 3 blocks away. There's alot of bars and cafes in the area. If you're looking for a comfortable place to lay your head in New York and your on a ... expedia.com
