What guests think
Reviews of Romana Hotel - NYC depict a budget-oriented property near the subway, but many guests report inconsistent service, maintenance and cleanliness problems, and amenities that do not match listings, producing uneven stays ranging from acceptable to very disappointing.
Some highlight clean rooms, comfortable beds, and good value for short stays with easy access to Manhattan. Recurring complaints include poor housekeeping, towel shortages, and basics not working or missing (hot water, keys, Wi‑Fi, curtains), with rooms often feeling unfinished or misrepresented in size and amenities. Service issues such as slow check-in, unreachable communication, and occasional billing or room‑assignment errors are also reported. The area is industrial with mixed safety impressions and limited, sometimes costly parking; expect a no‑frills stay where convenience may trade off against reliability.

I never stayed in a worse hotel ever. The service was horrible. My room was never cleaned I had a tough time getting clean towels. At one point, no hot water for showers. No closest, chair to sit or place to hang clothing The site said breakfast in morning. And had a gym. Neither of that last two were true. Mattresses were stacked in lobby. And the only sitting area in the hotel was torn up rattan furniture on the sidewalk, in the rain.

I am a frequent traveler and am VERY forgiving when it comes to hotels, but I was very disappointed in this hotel. When we arrived, we weren't sure that we had the right location because there is NO SIGN on the outside with the hotel name. We got to our assigned room but it was not cleaned. We went back down to reception and got a different room, but it was a queen bed instead of the king we had paid for. There was also a loud clanging coming from the bathroom every so often, likely due to the elevator being right next to our room. They said they would address this but never did. There were also many features the hotel advertised but does not provide: -No complimentary breakfast -No fridge or coffee maker in the room -No alarm clock -If there was a gym, we weren't made aware They do have a smart TV, towels, and small shower toiletries. The one real saving grace was that the a/c worked well. They additionally let us leave our luggage in the lobby after check-out, but without any tags or accountability system, which made us nervous. Upon checkout, the staff said the hotel manager would call us about a room credit for the bed size issue, but they never did. I attempted to call the hotel three times after our trip but they never answered and there is no voicemail system. Unfortunately I have no choice left but to leave them a lousy review. Such a bummer because I could have forgiven the shortcomings if not for the total lack of communication from the staff.

The area was kind of awful, had to park a block away because there wasn’t in parking spots in the area. To securely park your car you had to pay $25 and that wasn’t bad but the next day, they told me it would be $35. We actually left a day early because of the area, hospitality and the non cleanliness of the room. NEVER AGAIN

The walk from the subway to the hotel felt very unsafe and the hotel itself doesn't even have a sign. The room looked like it was under construction. There was paint on the floor and the closet wasn't finished. There was no hair dryer, luggage rack, or wardrobe. The bed was on 2 sheets of plywood. The toilet in my room was making a hissing sound the entire stay. The check in process took at least 20 minutes, and during that time, another hotel guest was yelling for the manager. I ended up taking ubers because of the safety concerns. Poor experience.

This "hotel" is to be redone completely. Let's start with the check-in. The young man at the reception (not particularly friendly or welcoming) asked me to show him my receipt with Hotel.com. Should they not have that already?? First time ever that I book with a third-party site and the hotel wants to see proof of payment. Then the room: clean, yes, but with splatters of paint all over the floor, the fridge did not work, the toilet might have been cleaned or not, hard to say, no spigot on the faucet, splashing water all over. Best of the best: the mattress lays on a plank of plywood, and the pillows (one per person) are super small. The TV: you have either to pay for everything or log in if you have already Netflix or Amazon. Then, there was not one garbage bin in the room. On the following day, a family member checked in in another room. Her bed consisted of 3 mattresses piled on on top of each other, but the room was clean, and it would have been OK for one night, but then we saw that the bathroom floor was covered in water, caused by a leak from the toilet. We called the reception, and were curtly advised that there is no other room available. We went down to the reception and miraculously were given a key for another room. This room was similar to ours (plywood bedframe etc.), but on top of it, there was no curtain for the bathtub. We gave up and our family member decided to stay there. In a nutshell: good for young backpack travelers, bad for families and older people!

This hotel was poor quality, elevators not working had to walk 8 flights of stairs. One of the hallways held multiple mattresses which I had to climb over to get down to the next flight. The gate for the parking lot barely worked but yet we had to pay $50 for one night with our car not safely secured in the back. Only one door worked to get in and out of the hotel. No one was in the front having us wait a long period of time..

I wish I could give them 0 stars, everything was dirty and gross. Pubic hairs in the bathroom stains on the mirror, everything reeked of smoke and cigarettes. They don’t even have an ice machine. And when I asked about the patio to get some fresh air was told it was closed. This place just sucks

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is a recurring problem—dirty rooms and bathrooms, trash in hallways, construction dust, smoke odors, and missed housekeeping appear often. A few guests did find their rooms clean, but standards feel unreliable.

Clean room, bathroom was little run down but still good I thought, they didn’t have a do not disturb sign in my room so I asked the front desk if they had anymore but they didn’t. I didn’t require maid service at my stay there, so I wanted the sign. I wouldn’t mind staying again there.

Everything was dirty, there was trash on the floor in the hallway for all 5 days, an inch of dust on fake flowers in the lobby, the bathroom toilet seat was broken, the bathroom door had chunks missing from it, and no black out curtains. The staff seemed like they were the related to the owner and just mostly played on their phones

The walk from the subway to the hotel felt very unsafe. The room was unfinished with what looked like construction dust and debris on the floor. The walls weren't fully painted and the closet wasn't fully built. One of the lamps wasn't working so it was very dark. There was no hair dryer or luggage holder, so my only option was to put my suitcase on the dresser. There was no desk in the room to work at. There was only one staff member at check in, so the line took more than 20 minutes to process and wait for my turn to check in. At check out, I requested a receipt and was told it would be emailed to me, but it never arrived (which means that now I have to call and follow up - I need it for corporate expenses). My biggest concern was the safety of the area. Very poor experience.

We originally booked a twin room, but upon arrival we were given a double bed instead. There were no room key cards provided, so every time we had to ask the front desk to open the door for us, which was very inconvenient. The Wi-Fi did not work at all during our stay. We also asked the front desk for clean towels and shampoo, but nothing was replaced. Overall, this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The experience was extremely disappointing.

Do NOT stay here, complete disaster. How Hotels.com allows them online is beyond me. The room lacked the following: There was no shower curtain and front desk just shrugged. There was no tv remote or a way to turn on the tv. There was no closet. There were two beds that were extremely uncomfortable and lumpy. The sink worked. Although no closet there were a few hooks screwed into the wall. There were several Jesus stickers on the doors and wall.

I am a frequent traveler and am VERY forgiving when it comes to hotels, but I was very disappointed in this hotel. When we arrived, we weren't sure that we had the right location because there is NO SIGN on the outside with the hotel name. We got to our assigned room but it was not cleaned. We went back down to reception and got a different room, but it was a queen bed instead of the king we had paid for. There was also a loud clanging coming from the bathroom every so often, likely due to the elevator being right next to our room. They said they would address this but never did. There were also many features the hotel advertised but does not provide: -No complimentary breakfast -No fridge or coffee maker in the room -No alarm clock -If there was a gym, we weren't made aware They do have a smart TV, towels, and small shower toiletries. The one real saving grace was that the a/c worked well. They additionally let us leave our luggage in the lobby after check-out, but without any tags or accountability system, which made us nervous. Upon checkout, the staff said the hotel manager would call us about a room credit for the bed size issue, but they never did. I attempted to call the hotel three times after our trip but they never answered and there is no voicemail system. Unfortunately I have no choice left but to leave them a lousy review. Such a bummer because I could have forgiven the shortcomings if not for the total lack of communication from the staff.

This was a fine place to stay. In the listing they advertised the room as a King bed but it’s definitely a Double. It said there would be a coffeemaker which wasn’t true. Those things didn’t wreck or stay, but just tell the truth about what you offer. We had to ask for a second pillow and towel set, only 1 provided in a booking for 2 adults. We got a good night’s sleep and the location offers easy subway access.

Clean room and comfortable beds. Hotel was a bit dated . Ice machine broken. No dressers in the room. It was exactly what I was expecting for the price and location. The neighborhood is not bad it's more industrial. I felt safe with my daughter. The hotel was quiet. Very quick and easy access via subway and Uber to Manhattan. Excellent value if you are just staying a few days. I don't think I would recommend for a longer stay but was just what I needed for a weekend. If you are the time that like to stay in the hotel a lot this would not be for you. Comfy and clean place if all you need is somewhere to sleep.

It was a good place to spend the night with my partner. It was comfortable, clean and friendly staff. The only bad thing was that we got a room without curtains! We had no privacy, and in the morning the sun hit our faces. We couldn't sleep anymore. I feel like this is something that can be resolved immediately, so I didn't exaggerate in my rating and gave it a 4.

The European female employee was incredibly rude when she was outside the building, but inside had a different persona. She wasn’t dressed like a hotel worker and was talking on her cell phone. I thought she was staying as a guest at the hotel. I asked her outside if the hotel was open because there was about 6 orange cones blocking the glass revolving door. She repeated what I said back to me and said what do you mean, is the hotel actually open? I said it’s blocked off. From the entrance there was no sign for the hotel, it looked abandoned. Nobody visible in the lobby. She aggressively pointed to the side door and said go through there. At check in she sent me to a room that when upon entering was occupied with the bed unmade and a persons belongings everywhere. I went back down and she gave me a new room and then when I got to my new room the key card didn’t work. What a stupid weird hotel.

Don’t do it. The positive reviews have to be fake. Doesn’t show up on navigation as it should. Charged $30 upon arrival for no reason. Key didn’t work first time. No towels - literally air dried - funny, but dumb. 2 small square pillows. Very comfy bed. Just spend the extra and get a real room, this place is not for real. We went down in the morning to request towels and dude literally just added us to a very long list of names and room numbers. We just air dried and got out of there. Literally no towels of any size.

Unfriendly staff from the start, the guy at the front desk need to take a shower regularly, he got in the elevator with me because my room key didn't work ( twice ) at first I got an occupied room and walked into an older couple in bed (resting), the elevator was malfunctioning and when I told the receptionist that was unacceptable he simply said " you can cancel if you want " that's the " I'm sorry about the inconvenience" that's usually meaningless but at least it part of the protocol. The Hotel from the outside it looks like an abandoned property, no sign and the name " Romana HOTEL" is nowhere on the building, their room keys say something different. The room was ok and at least the bathroom was clean, at least the cleaning staff are doing a great job. Unfortunately I don't think I would go back to that place ever again.

No latches or deadbolts on room doors, didn’t get a key until the second day and had to be let in by staff to our room, which was complicated by the fact that many times they only had one staff member in the lobby at any given time. Never saw the same staff member more than once. Hotel had clearly seen better days, it looks abandoned from the outside. Finally, although I booked a non-smoking room. they just gave us whatever room had been cleaned, which had a distinct cigarette smoke smell to it—no preparation for any guests prior to arrival, and they took 20 minutes to even find my reservation. The location is convenient but if youre looking for something on a budget you’re better off staying in Jersey.

On September 12, 2025, I had a confirmed booking with this hotel. When I arrived in New York at 11:59 PM i have my flight ticket as proof, the hotel refused to check me in, saying they could not find my information. A few days later, the system falsely updated my booking to show that I had “checked in and checked out,” but in reality, I never stayed at the property. I was still charged the full amount of $413.89.

The area was kind of awful, had to park a block away because there wasn’t in parking spots in the area. To securely park your car you had to pay $25 and that wasn’t bad but the next day, they told me it would be $35. We actually left a day early because of the area, hospitality and the non cleanliness of the room. NEVER AGAIN

The walk from the subway to the hotel felt very unsafe and the hotel itself doesn't even have a sign. The room looked like it was under construction. There was paint on the floor and the closet wasn't finished. There was no hair dryer, luggage rack, or wardrobe. The bed was on 2 sheets of plywood. The toilet in my room was making a hissing sound the entire stay. The check in process took at least 20 minutes, and during that time, another hotel guest was yelling for the manager. I ended up taking ubers because of the safety concerns. Poor experience.

This was a fine place to stay. In the listing they advertised the room as a King bed but it’s definitely a Double. It said there would be a coffeemaker which wasn’t true. Those things didn’t wreck or stay, but just tell the truth about what you offer. We had to ask for a second pillow and towel set, only 1 provided in a booking for 2 adults. We got a good night’s sleep and the location offers easy subway access.

This was the worst hotel me and my boyfriend ever stayed at. The area was disgusting there was a big white truck that never moved from the front. The lobby looked like a construction site. The hotel staff charged my card twice. I was so scared to walk to the train I had to take a uber two blocks because there were people selling unsanitary food outside from a bucket every person who lived in the projects stayed outside on the street for 24 hours you can not even walk to the store without getting harassed. This hotel is false advertised the room had drawings on the walls the 8th floor view was not pretty staff was unfriendly. My experience was terrible I was so scared.

No closest, chair to sit or place to hang clothing The site said breakfast in morning. And had a gym. Neither of that last two were true. Mattresses were stacked in lobby. And the only sitting area in the hotel was torn up rattan furniture on the sidewalk, in the rain.

The room was more affordable than most nearby options, and the location is excellent—just a 3-minute walk from the subway, which was very convenient. However, the experience had several downsides. Most of the staff were not very friendly or helpful, and there is no secure space to leave luggage before check-in or after check-out. The place offers no real facilities—just a noisy microwave. On top of that, their charges were unclear: beyond the service fee, I was billed an extra amount with no explanation provided.

I am a frequent traveler and am VERY forgiving when it comes to hotels, but I was very disappointed in this hotel. When we arrived, we weren't sure that we had the right location because there is NO SIGN on the outside with the hotel name. We got to our assigned room but it was not cleaned. We went back down to reception and got a different room, but it was a queen bed instead of the king we had paid for. There was also a loud clanging coming from the bathroom every so often, likely due to the elevator being right next to our room. They said they would address this but never did. There were also many features the hotel advertised but does not provide: -No complimentary breakfast -No fridge or coffee maker in the room -No alarm clock -If there was a gym, we weren't made aware They do have a smart TV, towels, and small shower toiletries. The one real saving grace was that the a/c worked well. They additionally let us leave our luggage in the lobby after check-out, but without any tags or accountability system, which made us nervous. Upon checkout, the staff said the hotel manager would call us about a room credit for the bed size issue, but they never did. I attempted to call the hotel three times after our trip but they never answered and there is no voicemail system. Unfortunately I have no choice left but to leave them a lousy review. Such a bummer because I could have forgiven the shortcomings if not for the total lack of communication from the staff.

Honestly, it is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed. There is no wardrobe, no clothes hangers, no hair dryer and no iron! No any drinks and food! You need to go out to buy everything you need. The AC is not working well so that the room is very hot and noisy! There is no service at all! The staff said they will let the technician check the AC and may consider change a room for us tomorrow. They just gave us some excuse and would not like to handle my issue. They did not come to fix the AC the next day. And they said there is a fitness center in the hotel and dinning room. It is a total lier! No! There is nothing you can find.I was very disappointed at this hotel.

Avoid at all costs. Seedy slum, UNSAFE area with addicts and homeless on the same street. Hotel run down, poorly managed (none of the drawer pulls were secure - they were about to fall out as was the toilet paper holder; only one of 2 elevators working, and no stairs to connect floors, only to exit building; $30 a day paid "parking" is tiny lot for employees where they discard piles of furniture/trash). It's so not worth the extra money saved. A customer who just checked in, came back a few minutes later saying someone was in their room. Huge mistake to stay here

The hotel looked like it was in a war zone. Both inside and out. I have never experienced something so awful in my life. Everything was dirty. There were dumpsters outside the front door of the hotel. The neighborhood was something out of an apocalypse movie, the owners of this property should seriously consider turning this into an industrial warehouse or something. It is not fit for human accommodation.
