Reviews
James from United Kingdom (8/10)
Incredibly charming hotel in an amazing area. This isn’t a 5* Luxury resort on a private island; it’s a historic building in the bustling and exciting cultural centre of New York run by real people and not a massive corporation. I always love my stays here. The hotel has everything that I like for a longer stay: large bed, large TV, good size fridge (not minibar), bathtub and fast Wifi. The rooms and hotel have a lot of character. Wonderful staff: friendly and can never help enough. I love it here; I can see why some reviewers are disappointed as the neighbourhood is, of course, noisy, and the hotel as a historic building has its quirks, but if you’re looking for a real New York experience, then this is a great place to stay.
Workman from United States (9/10)
The staff is amazing–friendly, helpful, and responsive. We felt as if we were guests in their home.
Lenei from United States (8/10)
Small boutique hotel, great detail, comfortable room.
Gillian from Australia (8/10)
The hotel was filled with charm and character. My room was large and I loved the vibe – the light, the windows that opened, the shutters, the massive bed and deep bath. It was surprisingly quiet and very dark – I had a great sleep. While the entry area and staff aren’t slick they are friendly and helpful. My bags were looked after before check in and after check out. Close to subway and great food options nearby. The tenement museum is right across the street.
Knista from United States (8/10)
Very nice boutique hotel. The owner showed us his personal art on the walls and was very friendly. The young man at the front desk was super helpful and friendly as well. A train station is a couple blocks away. Plenty of great restaurants around.

Jessica from United States (9/10)
The Historic Blue Moon hotel is a beautiful building! We so appreciate the preservation and the little details that went into the space. Staff was kind and there is always someone at the front desk. Location was prime and we never fell short of finding things to do. Additionally, we were surprised at how quiet it was at night despite it being a busy street.
