JGSTAY - Soho

You have to pay an extra amount for cleaning services and there is no microwave in the room only the lounge area. Meaning that if you need to heat up food after 9 PM, you’re not able to.

Great, affordable stay. Key code required to enter the front lobby after hours, key code also required for room. Felt very safe!

Basic place to crash. I work in the city and sometimes need a place to stay overnight. If I ever need another basic place I might consider it. Staff are very friendly and professional. Very, very clean and well maintained, big salute to the maintenance team. No art on the wall, simplest possible furnishings in rooms. No USB ports. Beds small but pretty comfortable, bathroom was quite nice, clearly remodeled recently. Now the bad news. No curtains, just wrinkled shades that let light in around the sides in the early morning. Door to room needs a sweep underneath to block light from hallway. Street noise was very loud with music blaring from cars until 11:30. Bring on the second floor wasn’t great. On the other hand the walls are pretty soundproof. Breakfast was disappointing. A basic keurig machine was not enough to handle a group of tourists in front of me and I never got a cup of coffee. Bagels and yogurt were provided but with no spoons for the yogurt. No fruit, not even a banana. Just a couple of tweaks could have made this much better. Fill up a coffee dispenser with coffee every morning and use the keurig for decaf and for when it runs out. Provide spoons and apples and bananas. Easy fixes.

Property is in just a block over from SoHo. All stores just around the corner. Chinatown Little Italy just up the street. Brooklyn bridge 13 minutes walk. Breakfast included- toast bagels green cheese, butter coffee and yougurt. It can be loud at night but after about 11 pm noise dies down. Beds/pillows very comfortable. Linen is typical for this type of hotel.

Great location close to subway. Friendly desk staff. Clean room but no daily service automatically, which may be a plus for many people.

Rooms are very very small. Bathroom shower is nearly impossible due to lack of space. No black out curtains. No cleaning service unless if you pay extra. Staff was friendly though.

Our stay was less than 24 hours. We were in a college visit and were looking for a decent hotel walkable to Pace and NYU. We found close parking without checking the website for suggestions. The front desk staff was lovely. We did not require anything additional from the staff. Adorable business cards with attached ear plugs were provided and the card read, “Just because the city never sleeps, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.” Very clever! We were grateful for the luggage storage ($5/bag). We had less worry about anything happening to our luggage or car with luggage in it, while we were touring colleges. I would definitely stay here again if it was conveniently located to our activities.

The place is small but is super clean and secure, we were given a code to enter the building and our room.

Pleasant, clean. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Daily maid service may cost extra.

Nice location, clean room. Room was facing the street so a bit of traffic noise outside. Breakfast was quite limited. Just plain bread and bagels with butter and cream cheese, orange juice and coffee and yogurt. Close to subway, stores and restaurants

Pros Good location. Decent value for nyc. Friendly staff. Cons Sheets were stained. Shower has mold.

Very clean hotel.

The location is good walkable to where I needed to go . The staff at check inn was friendly , but when we checked out the next morning not so much, there was a roach crawling on our bed I took pictures and took them to the front desk . Which he just said sorry the room does get cleaned.and that he couldn’t do anything about it. Horrible answer . I

Great location in the heart of Soho/Noho. Easy access to multiple subway lines. The rooms are small but spotless. Polite and helpful staff! We had a great stay.

The rooms are different from how they look in the pictures, they’re much smaller. In my experience, for example, the room had no light, the white sheets looked yellow, meaning they seemed dirty, and the bathroom had mold on the floor. On top of that, you can hear all the street noise day and night.

This hotel is clean and the staff is courteous and helpful. I would stay here again.

Clean, small room, perfect for a few nights. Excellent service, very friendly and accommodating.

This hotel was extremely dirty. The first room they put me in had hair in the sheets, so they moved me to a new room and I found more hair in those sheets, and the sheets had blood stains! It looks like they do not wash their comforters on their beds…ever. They also make you sign a waiver for no refunds.

Awfull - lots of cockroach, had to move to another hotel

Funky smell in Lobby. Tiny tiny rooms.

The room was fine but had a stool for the desk. I am on business so prefer a good chair to work from. WiFi was not always working well so had to hotspot on my US mobile. It is not a quiet neighbourhood!

So for a NYC accommodation this is ok, but i just hope that the window had black out curtains, for someone who is very sensitive to bright light, the sun will wake you up from the window. There is no 2nd curtain to block the light. Maybe its good for early risers, but this was a let down. And the shower area is extremely small, im plus size and it was a challenge to fit inside the cubicle to be able to close the shower door. . If you are 300 lbs and up, i dont know how you will be able to close the door. You fan leave it open but the water will definitely flood the entire bathroom.

I really liked the hotel, but the first night was awful. One of the beds in our room was really uncomfortable. One of the sides had a big dent/whole that you would literally got stuck in. I changed to the other bed and was able to sleep better. The location is very close to a subway stop and has a lot of close options to eat or shop. Will probably stay again. NY is noisy and dirty but the hotel was a nice surprise for a short visit.

Comfy beds, hot showers, and clean room! These rooms are TINY which is not unusual in the city, but worth mentioning.

Great spot, very small room but it was clean and beds were comfortable. We didn’t spend much time in the room so it was perfect

Small, but clean enough. Didn't like that there's a small window that has no curtain so it's bright early in the morning. Not terrible for one person for one night but wouldn't want to stay for days.

bed was too soft,

Stayed here for 3 nights and I slept like a baby. The property is well maintained and the staff are extremely polite and very helpful. Bang for buck in NYC.

Friendly staff and very convenient to China Town and Little Italy. Would use again.

30 minutes after booking, I called right away to let them know I could not stay there as I had to change my flight for a family emergency. They said too bad, and charged me fully for the room even though I wasn't going to stay there. I guess business is business, and I am rating them accordingly.

The hotel is in a perfect location to SoHo shopping, dining and little only - china town steps away. Front Desk Min was so helpful we left our passports in safe and realized it about 4 hrs from NY. He supported us every step of the way!

Excellent, convenient and very helpful staff! Would definitely book again

We stayed here to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary and had a fantastic time. The room was a little small but very cozy, clean and incredibly quiet.. The staff at the front desk were sooo nice, friendly, and attentive. The neighborhood had a lot to offer. We are definitely going back!

Not worth the “cheap” rate — towels were old and scratchy, food was left in the refrigerator, the room was dark and the elevator smelled rank. When I told the front desk attendant at check in, he just shrugged. The best part was the shower, small but a great shower head. Gun-ho (spelling is off) who was at the front desk when I left was the absolute best part of the whole stay. Gun-ho gave 5 star service and was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

I booked 2 rooms at JG Sohotel. Rooms are small but clean. The ofher disadvantages is that it is noisy, so get your earplugs ready. Lee and other staff members were very nice and polite with all of us but Andrew was the worse. When I came down the first morning to complain about the noise and to move to another room, Andrew was just arriving from outisde and said no, there is no other room. I said the gentleman who is at the desk right now is actually checking. But Andrew insisted. I do not understand why he was so rude, without the fact that he didn't have the computer to manage the rooms in front of him. Anyways since then, I had my first bad experience with him. When my fiancé were outside the hotel door, Andrew saw me telling my husband to come in, and I couldn't do it my self because my hands were full of stuff, he didn't even help him to open the door so he can get in. Also, the same day, at the breakfast lounge, Andrew came in and said there is a notice that we cannot use butter on the bread and put it on the bread, and immediately he ask one lady customer of the hotel accusing her of putting the bread to grill with butter. The lady from spain stayed composed and answer nicely that she didn't do it. He insisted and she reply again very nicely, that she didn't do it. Andrew was so rude to her, he didn't even apologize and he just left without a nice word to her or to all of us. At this point, Andrew is the worse and if I was the owner I would fire him right away.

Simply awful in every way. Less a hotel and more of a hostel from a horror film. The room was dingy and dirty, the sheets on the bed were ripped. Even the TV was askew. We simply couldn't stay. So we informed BOTH the hotel and Expedia we were moving hotels and neither the hotel nor Expedia were willing to give us a refund. So they essentially stole $1500 from my pocket.

Aside from all esle. I received a call at 130am to ask where I was. As if I missed curfew. Embarrassing and certainly my first and last with any JG hotel.

Great low budget stay, like a fancy hostel for travellers. staff was friendly and rooms were clean. great location

Small, but clean rooms. Convenient subway access, but otherwise located on a barren, noisy corner at the intersection of the SoHo, Chinatown and Little Italy neighborhoods.

Great location!

This hotel is nothing fancy, but it provided all the necessities, including a very comfortable bed, a good shower, and a clean, neat room. It was in a wonderful location, only a half block from the Canal Street Station and at the intersection of SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown. The bedroom and bathroom are quite small, but if you’re planning to be out all day exploring, it’s perfectly fine. We found many wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, and stores nearby and it was pretty close to the Blue Note, where we saw a great jazz show. I would stay again.

It was in a good location for me and it was quiet

Stayed on a recent weekend. Price was lower than just about every other remaining option. Small boutique type of hotel, closer to apartment or AirBnb than a hotel. Checked in at front desk but keyless entry to room (405) as well as front door outside of business hours (10am-7pm?). Tiny room but was fine for my purposes. Comfy bed + pillows. Shower had odd set-up but great water pressure. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. This is in SoHo/near Chinatown and the Canal St subway stop is right around the corner and very convenient to get to Brooklyn, Grand Central (20 min total from leaving hotel to terminal?) and other points in Manhattan. I would stay here again.

Nice location, clean room. Room was facing the street so a bit of traffic noise outside. Breakfast was quite limited. Just plain bread and bagels with butter and cream cheese, orange juice and coffee and yogurt. Close to subway, stores and restaurants

The hotel was close to the subway but I’d rather stay somewhere else in SoHo. The room is small and better for one or two people vs 4. The location wasn’t my favorite. I’d stay on a street a little further from canal street bc it’s too busy.

Small, clean room. Nice staff. Free Snacks and nespresso in lobby. Easy street parking.

Friendly staff,good breakfast and clean room.Area of Soho not that family friendly but its a great location to walk yo nany attractions.greatcsir con too.

The room was so small that I had no place to open my suitcase except the bed. The property was very good about changing me to another room that was slightly bigger. I had a question about the bill. I believe I was double charged for the damage fee ($200 x 2) It's been over 10 days and I have not received anything back. There is no continental breakfast per se. There's just a toaster, bread, bagels, a coffee machine and creamer packets. There's no body lotion. Or conditioner supplied in the rooms. When I asked for fresh milk and fruit, I was told, what do I expect from a one star hotel? (that charges the same as a 4 star hotel nearby). And this so called Complimentary breakfast is over at 9.00 a m. Same answer when I asked for bathroom amenities. The location is on the corner of Canal and Lafayette streets, which means that if there is a traffic backup, there's constant honking. Especially from around four o'clock onwards. They might not supply you with milk for your coffee, but they do supply ear plugs, despite the fact that they advertised the hotel as being quiet. To its credit, I did not see any insects.

Basic accommodations, good for price. Great coffee shop next door. Easy, walkable location. Would stay again.

Was a pretty small room. Even for nyc standards. The bed was pretty rough and the breakfast was literally bagels and toast. You do get what you paid for and the price is pretty good for nyc but I think just pay more for the luxury

True, the room is small and there's road noise. But this is expected given the Soho location that borders Chinatown (Mott Street). The location however is ideal - 3-min walk to subway stations. Brooklyn is even walkable (30-min). NYU (Washington Square) is a nice 20-min walk through Soho. There's morning coffee and a hot/cold water dispenser in the lobby. This isn't a fancy place - I see it as a place to sleep, while spending the rest of the day outdoors.

For the price, pretty stellar. Literally the smallest room I've ever stayed in--and I've stayed in a ton of tiny NYC rooms. That said, everything about it was totally fine. It was clean, there were no bedbugs, the shower had nice hot water, towels were fine, etc. There was even a Nepresso machine in the lobby and I pulled a few good shots in the AM. I needed a cheap place to sleep for 8 hours and it did the trick!
