The Latham was great. It\'s in a good location, and is really worth the amount you pay for it. You get clean towels and they make up the bed daily. The bathroom is shared with the entire floor (15ish rooms), and the shower could be a little cleaner. But there\'s hot water and I never had to wait to use shower. Overall, good experience.

Kind of annoying using a share bathroom. Central area. There strangely were a lot of mums and babies. Comfortable bed, cable. Not much of an atmosphere, but quiet at night. Staff were helpful.

Great value considering the location! Room was clean and the shared shower totally ok. Most of the staff were nice but one gentleman was very rude when we checked in.

we booked one month before arrival. at arrival late in the evening, it was told us, that all rooms were booked, only one room is free. ->normal bed with an additional place in a drawer --> not as expected like the pictures of the rooms via internet which we ordered. -> room looks like a prison!! no service --> we gave directly feedback to reception staff, but no chance for him to switch/gave us money back. thats why we decide to leave latham hotel asap!!! we cannot recommend latham to friends!!!

We spent a really good time in Latham hotel which is five minutes walk from the nearest subway and has an excellent location near to the most touristic places and stores. The staff was really nice and helpfull. We really recommend this hotel to people who want to travel to New York and want to stay the center of Manhattan for a good price.

The room was pretty basic & daggy, but you can't expect any better for the price versus the location. Considering it was a private, secure room that was only 3 mins walk from the Empire State building and was cheaper than some dorm rooms in backpackers that had much worse locations, you can't complain really.

the shared bathroom makes you sometime wait in the corridor for previous user to leave, if you come after 10 people there is water everywhere, but as we get up early this was not a problem. The room was correct, the bed was very good, and the location of the hotel was perfect for our trip.
