Eurostars Wall Street New York    

Pro: Nell'agosto 2011 abbiamo passato 8 notti all'eurostars in 3 persone.
essendo in 3, abbiamo prenotato una "suite 1 bedroom" perchè su easytobook risultava adatta per 3 persone (in effetti lo spazio c'è, però la terza persona è penalizzata). all'arrivo abbiamo preso possesso della stanza 601 composta da: camera matrimoniale, soggiornino, bagno, cuninotto (attrezzato di tutti elettrodomestici). tutto bello, certo non pulitissimo (moquette e tende non emanavano proprio freschezza) però accettabile. la connessione internet è gratis e si può utilizzare gratuitamente un pc+stampante in reception. il personale è cordiale. l'albergo è in zona finanziaria e ben servito d tutto, vicinissimo al sea port (porto caratteristico con mercatini e localini aperti all night long), la metro è vicina e vicino ci sono market aperti 24h dove fare la spesa per cucinare in camera.
la metro è a 200 mt ma se si è in 3/4 persone risulta quasi più conveniente il taxi (wallstreet-timessquare 12 $ inclusa mancia).
durante il nostro soggiorno c'erano lavori sul palazzo di fronte e tutta la notte camion, generatori, macchinari di ogni genere andavano senza sosta. per giunta le finestre non offrono nessun isolamento acustico. la camera, prenotata per 3 persone, era attrezzata solo per 2, il terzo letto veniva dal divano-letto con un materassino alto 10 cm a molle in ferro che fuoriuscivano e la rete completamente affossata (impossibile riposare). abbiamo chiesto un letto aggiuntivo (ci hanno prima chiesto 35 $ al giorno, ma a seguito delle proteste ce l'hanno dato in omaggio), peccato che il letto aggiuntivo fosse praticamente identico al divano-letto: rete infossata e materasso finissimo con molle fuori. il cambio asciugamani e le posate/piatti/bicchieri era fatto solo e sempre per 2 persone, non per 3, così ogni volta dovevamo telefonare per avere il terzo set di asciugamani.
il preventivo fatto da easytobook risultava sbagliato, al checkuot (h.12:00 a.m / 1:00 pm) il conto è risultato più alto di circa 32 $ perchè easytobook non ha applicato correttamente la hotel tax (il personale dell'hotel ci ha spiegato benissimo l'errore fatto da easytobook).

Pros: Good location

Pros: Staff friendly and polite
Cons: Beds very hard and uncomfortable

Cons: Terrinle room condition more suitable for 2 star hotel

Pros: Much bigger room than is normal for the area and price. trendy room design. helpful staff.
Cons: Bed was quite hard and seemed cheap. wifi was extremely variable. mine was unworkable, but a colleague had excellent connectivity on the next floor.

Pros: Very good looking hotel room and plenty of space.
Cons: I could not check--in at the regular time. they let me wait a few times and they postponed the time each time and my time was only limited, so that was no good. and indeed the smell of cleaning spray in the elevator was a little too much.

Cons: I had booked two rooms, but upon arrival i was informed i had only one room reserved. luckily the staff at the reception was able to put me in a room where the person did not show up, otherwise i would have stayed in a bad situation.

Pros: It is a nice hotel in a very good position of manhatan with very polite and lovly staff.

Pros: Franky the concierge was excellent.
Cons: I shortened my stay by 3 nights yet my bill was almost identical to my original full 12 nights. the hotel also caught on fire on my last night, the fire alarm went off but we were told not to evacuate. i inspected the hotel hallway and it was filled with smoke so chose to evacuate anyway. the fire brigade put out the fire but had the fire got out of control we may have not been able to escape as the fire started in the basement. severe oversight on hotel's concern for patrons safety!

Pros: The staff were very knowledgeable and polite throughout our stay. the room was large, clean and the bed comfortable. the location is excellent.
Cons: I was surprised the hotel was underrenovation - dont remember seeing anything advertised about this and there was a disgusting stench permeating throughout the hotel and particularly in the reception area. the carpets in the room were rough, old and should have been destined for a hostel let alone a wall street hotel!! not nice. there was no free breakfast tea in the room except fruit tea or percolated coffee and no kettle so had to heat water for the fruit tea in the microwave oven in the cup - not particularly safe! the aircon was very dated and noisy and not very effective.

Pros: The door man, lamond, was the best part of our experience at this hotel. he was fantastic
Cons: The carpet throughout the hotel needs to be replaced. it's very old and very dirty. also, both rooms that we rented had disfunctional toilets (but that's a little bit more understandable than the carpet as it's an older building).

Cons: Nothing negative.
