Jeg og samboeren min valgte dette hotellet mest på grunn av prisen - vi er ikke så kresne og tenkte at om standaren ikke var perfekt ville det ikke bety så mye, vi reiste jo ikke for å tilbringe dagene på hotellet. Vi ble utrolig overrasket over hvor bra det faktisk var her! Vi hadde lest en del anmeldelser i forkant og var forberedt på litt av hvert. […] Men det gikk over all forventning. De ansatte var hyggelige og behjelpelige, rommene var rene, og beliggenheten var helt fantastisk! Vi visste på forhånd at det var snakk om Times Square-området, men første kvelden da vi nettopp hadde kommet gikk vi tilfeldigvis til høyre utenfor hotellet, og da vi rundet det nærmeste hjørnet snublet vi over selveste hjertet av Times Square (hvor Broadway og 7th avenue krysser hverandre). Utover i oppholdet la vi fort merke til hvor praktisk det var å bo i Midtown. Det er kort vei til Uptown, og kort vei til Downtown! Vi gikk faktisk både til Central Park og til Tribeca fra hotellet, selv om det selvfølgelig tar en god del tid lengre enn taxi eller subway. Det er fint å ha muligheten om man har lyst til å se mer av byen mens man kommer seg fra A til B! Bygget hotellet ligger i virket ganske gammelt, men utenom at heisen kunne være litt treg, var ikke dette noe man egentlig la merke til. Det finnes ikke noen safe på rommet, og heller ikke i resepsjonen. Det bekymret meg litt før vi kom dit, men vi opplevde ingen problemer med dette, og ingen av anmeldelsene vi har lest om hotellet nevner at ting har blitt stjålet fra rommene. Man må levere nøkkelen i resepsjonen hver gang man forlater hotellet, men resepsjonisten spør om navn i tillegg til romnummer når man kommer tilbake, så det hele virker veldig sikkert. Hotellet tilbyr også salg av billetter til musikaler, sightseeing og shuttle-transport til flyplassen. Det er en egen disk hvor alt dette foregår, og vi kjøpte billetter til The Lion King-musikalen her, og var kjempefornøyd med dette tilbudet. Vi kjøpte også billetter til shuttl Les mer

Rent og trivelig hotell midt i smørøyet.

Eneste grunnen til at dette hotellet kun har 2,5 stjerne må være at det ikke har restaurant. Service, komfort og ikke minst beliggenhet er bare helt topp! Heisene var noe slitte, og et par av oss valgte heller trappene - til 11. etasje... Ellers vet vi ikke om vi kunne bodd noe mer sentralt i NYC til denne prisen. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Beliggenheten er veldig bra! I hjertet av New York. Lite støy og fine rom med store senger. Dette er ikke for den som ønsker luksus, men er veldig bra med tanke på prisen! Ikke inkludert frokost, men rett utenfor er det både en cafe og en butikk som gjorde det lett å finne frokost om morgenen. Hyggelige ansatte. Badet var helt kurant med dusj og badekar. […] Det anbefales ikke å drikke vannet fra kranen. Absolutt et bra sted å bo for en veldig pen pris! Les mer

Flott beliggenhet. Bittelite rom uten hylleplass bad. Radiatoren på rommet på fullt og umulig å stenge tross hjelp fra betjeningen. Måtte ha åpent vindu i 5 dager, men mye tid spart på å bo så sentralt. Beligenhet muligjør gjenbesøk.

Hotellet ligger svært sentralt, mellom teaterdistriktet, 5th avenue, og kort avstand til mange kjente landemerker. Hotellet tilbyr ikke frokost, men det ligger flere gode frokost/lunsj spisesteder rett ved. Hotellet har veldig fin lobby, mens resten av bygget er litt mer slitent, men velholdt. Veldig bra gratis trådløst internett. Flatskjerm med mange […] kanaler på rommet. Rommene er helt ok i forhold til prisen, og romslige. Vi var to venninner, som hadde hver vår dobbeltseng på samme rom. Anbefaler et rom i de øvre etasjene for minst gatestøy. Servicen er veldig god, med hyggelige og hjelpsomme ansatte. Det eneste vi egentlig savnet var en minibar til å ha kald drikke/vann i. Les mer

I forhold til prisen, var det ingenting å si på dette hotellet. Veldig sentral beliggenhet, helt greie rom og hyggelig personale. Kan trygt anbefales til 1.gang besøkende i NY! :)

Midt i blinken hvis du vil være midt i sentrum og ikke vil bruke mye penger på og bo. Ligger så og si på times square. Vi bor gjerne her igjen.

We were here for for six days. Nice and friendly people in the reception. Our room was small, but clean and all right for us. Near to Times square and easy to get around.

Perfekt beliggenhet til det meste på manhatten. Gode spisemuligheter ved siden av hotellet. God servce og innformasjon på hotellet.

Vi skulle være fire dager i New York, og ut fra tidligere efaringer ønsket vi et sentralt hotell, primært for å ha et sted å sove. Siden det vi brukte for et år siden nå er stengt, falt valget på St. James, ut fra pris og andres omtale. Rommet var kjøttlite, badet var nesten like stort som rommet. Men klesskapet var stort nok til å få plass til en […] kuffert eller to. Etter to dager spurte vi om vi kunne få et større rom, og det fikk vi, uten å bli avkrevd ekstra betaling. Betjeningen i resepsjonen var hyggelig og grei. Det var litt uvant, men hyggelig nostalgisk, at vi fikk en gammeldags metallnøkkel som ble levert inn i resepsjonen når vi gikk ut. Etter en dag hadde betjeningen lært seg hvordan vi så ut og hvilket rom vi hadde, og leverte oss riktig nøkkel uten at vi behøvde å si romnummeret når vi kom inn igjen. Et helt greit sted å bo hvis det primære behovet er å ha et sted å sove, men ikke vent den store luksusen. Les mer

Hotellet i seg selv er ganske gammelt og slitt, og rommet vi bodde på var ikke verdens peneste. Men det var rent og greit selv om ganske slitt og gammelt, spesielt baderommet. Det viktigste for oss var uansett beliggenheten som er rett ved Times Square, som er et flott utgangspunkt for sightseeing i Manhatten. Og en god pris. Resepsjonsbetjeningen var […] også veldig serviceinnstilt, og det at du må levere inn nøkkelen når du går fra hotellet gir en sikkerhetsfølelse for at bare hotellgjester er velkomne på hotellet. Frokost serveres ikke av hotellet, men dineren vegg i vegg har god frokost som lages på bestilling i tillegg til frokostblandinger, sandwicher, drikke, med mer. Les mer

Dobbeltrommet vi fikk var knøtt lite. Om begge koffertene ble lagt på gulvet for å åpnes, var det knapt plass til å komme til badet. Vinduet vendte mot en trang sjakt, selv ved høylys dag måtte alle lamper tennes. Dette ga heller ikke mulighet for lufting. Ved å sette air-condition på max, fikk vi opp støynivået betraktelig uten at luften som kom ut […] ble kjøligere. Det var laber interesse i resepsjonen for å diskutere problemet. Badet var slett ikke ille og veldig rent. Men det var ikke hårføner eller hårvaskemidler der. Slitte tepper i gangene og slitte møbler i sittegruppen innenfor resepsjonen bidro heller ikke positivt. Man drar selvfølgelig ikke til New York for å sitte på rommet, men når man gruer seg for å gå dit blir det negativt for hele oppholdet. Les mer

Dette er et kjempe hotell for folk som ønkser og bo sentralt og kan leve med litt lavere standard, hotellet ligger midt i times square, med alle fasiliteter rett utfor døren :) Hotellet hadde meget hyggelig betjening, og gratis internett :)

Svært sentralt plassert. God og billig frokostrestarant ved siden av. Store rom med aircondiondition. Gratis trådløst nett. Vi hadde rom mot bakgård slik at det var helt stille om nettene. God service.

Kjempebra beliggenhet.Kunne gå eller ta subway til det aller meste av severdigheter.Selve standarden på rommet var greit men ikke noe kjempebra.AC bråkte veldig men rent og fint rengjort rom hver dag.Man sover og dusjer der og da trenger man ikke all verdens luksus.Jeg anbefaler gjerne dette hotellet til venner som ikke forventer for mye.

Hadde 5 overnattinger med 2 dobbeltrom i 7 etg. første uka i mai 2010. Rommene var forskjellig størrelse - det største var OK men hadde lite bad, det minste var litt trangt, men hadde desto større bad. god plass i skuffer og skap til reisetøy. Ingen frokostservering, men to cafeer vegg i vegg var i grunnen ennå bedre.Renholdet var bra, men en gang glemte […] de nye håndklær, og var ikke flinke til å fylle på toalettpapir. Betjeningen var imøtekommende, og servicen god, men det tok 2 dager før vi fikk konverter til stikkontakt på rommet. Ingen utsikt fra våre rom, men heller ingen plagsom gatestøy. Aircondition bråkte ufattelig, og heldigvis klarte vi oss uten. Beliggenheten var det beste med hotellet. Et par minutters gange til Times Square. 10-15 minutter til restaurantområdet "Hells kitchen" med masse gode restauranter til fornuftige priser. Alt i alt et hotell til en rimelig penge som jeg anbefaler dersom aircondition ikke må brukes. Les mer

I totally recomend the St James Hotel... is half block from times square if you want to be in the heart of manhattan at an affordable price this is the place to stay!

THIS HOTEL IS ALL ABOUT LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.THE ROOM DID NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. IT DID NOT HAVE AN ICE MACHINE. YOU HAD TO LEAVE YOUR KEY AT THE FRONT DESK WHEN LEAVING AND RETURNING TO THE HOTEL. WHEN PICKING UP THE KEY ANYONE NEAR THE FRONT DESK HEARD YOUR NAME AND ROOM NUMBER. THE DOOR DID NOT HAVE A CHAIN. OTHERWISE IT WAS CLEAN, BUT […] SMALL. Les mer

I enjoyed my overnight stay and was able to walk to just about everything on my to do list - broadway, good food & shopping. I honestly liked the ambiance but I'm not a new & shiny kind of girl. This place has character and I loved it. It's NOT fancy so if you want that go somewhere else. It is very nice, clean, relatively quiet and in a perfect location […] if you want to get out and see the city. I'll be back. Les mer

I could not believe the condition of the room. I have stayed at Motels in the past that is more update. The furniture, television, carpet and furniture was so outdated. Even the Radiators in the room looks like what was in my Grandmother's old house. My room could use a good paint job as well as a safe in the room like modern hotels.I stayed at the […] Holiday inn Express which was more updated than this hotel. Les mer

No frills hotel in great location rooms clean bed linen fresh staff very helpful

The lobby of the hotel is a little tired. My room was perfectly fine, clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had wireless in my room based on reviews I had read. All in all, a good value.

front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. room cleaning was just ok. pleasantly pleased with our stay here. great location, half block from times square but very quiet ( our hotel room was at the back so awful view but very quiet- totally acceptable)

We are a family of four on a 3 month holiday. We stayed in NY for 5 nights at the St James Hotel. The website and comments state the condition of hotel & rooms very well. It is so close to Times Square and many other fantasic NY sights ... we walked everywhere. The hotel is old and looking a bit tired, but it is clean and tidy. The rooms are very small […] (especially for four peope sharing 2x double beds), but also clean & tidy. A few minor grumbles were - the noise ... NY is noisy anyway, so just need to get on with it, but there is contruction going on a few doors down and that kept us awake early & late (even ear plugs didn't help!) ... also the room was very hot, we couldn't turn the heating down. The big pluses for us for this hotel were, the location, the free wifi, the cleanliness, the value for money and finally one of the 'front of staff' Joey ... he was absolutely awesome, from the time he welcomed us at 7pm when we arrived, to the time we left. Our kids absolutely loved him and drew a picture for him + insisted we left him a NZ gift and tip. He couldn't have been more helpful ... from assisting us to get to a baseball game (Mets lost!) to advice on where to eat ...10 out of 10 for Joey for us. Les mer

Spacious room in good location BUT no drapes on the large windows just translucent miniblinds leaving the room light at night AND heavy, long term construction on the 45st side (rooms X02 thru X05). Note X = floor number. Other rooms may also be noisey in the morning cement trucks, hammering, heavy equiptment, etc.

I stayed at the Hotel St. James in April with my best friend to celebrate her 50th birthday. When we first checked in we were given rooms on the 12th floor and were told nicer rooms would be available the next day and we could switch. I would have been fine with the 12th floor, but my window did not close/lock properly, and there was a fire escape out […] the window. We did move to the 8th floor the next day, nicer and larger rooms. My room was in the back of the hotel and had little, if any warm water for showers. My friends room faced 45th street and she had plenty of hot water but her internet access was not as good as mine. The hotel staff are very friendly and accomadating and the hotel is in an excellent location. There was no air conditioning in any of the 4 rooms that we saw, which could be a factor in the warmer months. Also, there was no way to control the room temperature (radiator heat), but we never felt our rooms were cold. I would stay here again but it would depend on the time of year. I would also request a room toward the street, noiser no doubt but hot water in the shower would make up for it. I know they are renovating rooms so maybe they will have that all worked out soon. Les mer

Hot water was a scarcity and it was necessary to run the water for almost 15 minutes (a waste) in order to get some that was hot. Our room was on the 6th floor and the street noise all night was very loud. There was no ice available (at least on our floor). The room and sheets were very clean. Leaving your key at the desk is strange, but required. Good […] wi-fi for free in the room. Nice staff, tried to be helpful. Great little cafe open 24/7 right next door..... so lack of coffee machine wasn't too miserable. The price is reasonable.... but I'd be reluctant to recommend it unless people understand what they are getting (or not getting). The hot water problem should be easy to solve - and would pay for itself in water bills. Les mer

The entrance and loby of this hotel are very nice. The rooms are like Motel 6-bear minimum, except at Motel 6 I think the plumbing works...

This hotel was sad-as in run down, poorly maintained and quite dirty. The only bright spot was the pleasantness of the front desk staff. But that's just not enough for me. It was not worth the few dollars saved and next time I will cut corners on something else, but not the hotel.

The St. James Hotel in Times Square is a very nice place to stay if you're looking for something considerably more affordable than surrounding accommodations. There are no bells and whistles, however, so if you plan to spend most of your time out touring the city, this is a very good choice for you. If you're wanting to spend more time indoors enjoying […] all the amenities, you're gonna get bored. It is a very clean place and the beds are very comfortable. We do highly recommend it. Les mer

Great Hotel. Nice firm bed. In NY to see shows and eat, walk around. Get location In Times Square. Could get everywhere we needed to be by foot or just a short subway ride. Great deli and restaurant right next door.

Hotel St. James is a very nice hotel with a friendly staff, conveniently located and it appears to be well maintained. However, it is mostly just a place to sleep. Although they advertise WiFi, don't expect to have anything usable. The TV was very small and appeared to be an afterthought. There was no pen and paper common with a hotel room (yea, a small […] thing, but try to write something down when nothing exists). The front desk staff was very friendly and I can tell they were used to dealing with complaints about the WiFi. The rooms were spacious, especially for a times square hotel. If you don't care about WiFi and amenities, then go for it. If you depend on a connection, stay away. Les mer

It has a very good location and the staff is friendly, however the hotel needs some work done. I would not recommend it if you have to stay more than 3 nights.

Room was very small. It was very hot in the room. iit had an old fashion radiator that banged all night long.Great location. Close to everything.

Hotel had an excellent location, however the decor was dated and the window mini blinds didn't cover the entire window. Also the bathroom window didn't lock and this made me nervous as I was traveling alone eventhough the room was on the 11th floor. The room was very clean, however the walls were thin and I could hear my neighbor's tv and alarm that […] he/she hit snooze on 7 times in the early morning which didn't make it a great way to wake up. Atleast my shower was warm in the am. Les mer

When i had booked this hotel the reveiws on trip advisor give it 3-4 out of 5, some where good some not so good, you are always apprehensive until you actually see it for your own eyes, there where no surprises at all, loved every thing about the hotel. I would recomemend it to anyone.

OK, it is not The Plaza. If you want the Plaza, book a room at The Plaza...and pay 10 times as much. Hotel St. James has it's own kind of charm. Yes, our room looked like it has not been vacuumed in a while, but the bathroom was spotless. Yes, the furniture in the room looks like it was taken out of my 1970's dorm, but they do give you extra pillows […] and blankets. I wish I had gotten the name of the gentleman who checked us in, and was there most week days to give us the key to our room, but you could not have had a more friendly, gregarious person. He works days during the week. I have stayed here 4 times before and keep coming back because of the price and location, and best of all we never caught any "critters" from there, unlike some other fancier places. Who stays in their room while in NYC anyway? BTW...my favorite restaurant in NYC, Bond 45, is across the street. Les mer

Very nice hotel, obviously very old but kept up well and renovated. Elevators could use some work, not very reliable and very very slow. Staff were helpful and courteous.
