Formerly Hotel QT, the Grace is the Spanish Room Mate group’s first stateside outing — and it seems the stylish budget chain and the quirky Times Square boutique are a match made in heaven. While the name has changed, the idea remains the same: to offer something cheap but still chic, more inspiring and attractive than the chain motels but stylish enough to attract the right sort of patrons.
Though this is Times Square, you won’t see the usual tourists in souvenir shirts. Instead expect young arts-and-media types, up-and-coming musicians, and anyone else with Mercer style and a Holiday Inn budget. Youth hostels were one inspiration, but we’ve never seen a hostel with free wi-fi, flat-screen televisions, DVD players and Egyptian cotton bedding. Rooms for four are available, with twin bunk beds and an LCD screen in each bunk, perfect for a traveling band or four very close friends.
Other decidedly non-hostel perks include a swimming pool with underwater music and a swim-up window for ordering drinks from the bar. DJs play nightly in the lobby lounge, and there’s a 24-hour coffee bar for anyone exhausted by New York’s round-the-clock schedule. A continental breakfast is complimentary, and there’s even a sauna and a steam room. No restaurant, but given the location, you won’t go hungry for long.
With rates starting at around a hundred dollars for the simplest rooms, this is an excellent value, as cheap as some of the dismal motor inns and miles more stylish. And even if you’re not prepared to rough it, the penthouse at the Grace runs about as much as the most basic room at one of the tonier downtown hotels.

The location is excellent, just around the corner of Times Square. The swimming pool area which transform to a party-area at night. The breakfast and the breakfast-space.

Very central location near Time Square! Literally steps away.
What the hotel could do better
Room is small but expected for New York. Not as stylish as the other Room Mate hotels in Europe.

We loved the clean European style of the rooms & public spaces. We looked at so many hotels on the net that were dowdy American style hotel rooms with fake dark wooden furniture and heavy colours or patterned wallpapers. We find that stifling, so were delighted when we found Hotel Grace. It was light & bright, didn't have a closed-in hotel small, had clean well designed room space and a very comfy bed. The included breakfast was plentiful and set us up well for long days of walking and shopping in NYC's winter. We hadn't been looking for a mid-town hotel, but are now sold on the location, as it was close to most things, and a subway ride to anything else!
We loved our stay, and the Hotel Grace was an important part of our happiness.
What the hotel could do better
We were delighted with everything.

Absolutely everything. The bed was very comfortable, the location, the best, swimming pool and steam room,great. A bit crowded and mtv looking at night, but we enjoyed it a lot in the mornings.
Very clean in general.
We loved it!
What the hotel could do better
The lack of door or store or curtain between room and toilet. It is uncomfortable.
Service could be improved but no serious complain, just a suggestion.

Loved the location and the price. The room was fun with the platform bed.
What the hotel could do better
The shower had little pressure and the shower head was too close the the wall. The drinks at the bar were small and way overpriced.
We want to stay there again in December but the room price tripled so we are being forced to stay somewhere else.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
