On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Cast iron dogs stand guard at industrial design central — square lights, molded concrete walls, a coffee table the size of a grand piano. There’s mesh wire glass everywhere, including on the writing desks in the rooms. The floors are the same stuff you see on New York sidewalks — corrugated steel for the elevators, and cast iron and glass for the stairs.
When it opened in 1996, the Grand was the first big SoHo hotel, and its downtown location has continued to be a major factor in its identity. Take the concierges, who can get you a reservation at the hottest underground restaurant and fill you in on the hippest goings-on. Here’s where you'll find Tokyo urbanites in platforms, tough-talking London businessmen on their cells, lanky Nigerian models, many rock and roll musicians, and a lot of crazy hair. It's easy for that much hipness to be intimidating, but the Grand, despite its name, is warm and happy. Maybe it’s the pet friendly atmosphere — Fifi can munch on a biscuit at the bar while you drink your Tartini, and you can even borrow a goldfish to keep you company through those long Manhattan nights. Or perhaps it’s the fact that while it’s undisputedly cool, the Grand is also curiously reminiscent of dormitory days, with its reupholstered sofas and signature dish of macaroni and cheese on the menu, available in any of the three dining spaces on the second floor (plus The Yard outside during the warmer season).

What I liked:
From the moment we arrived at the Soho Grand, we were mostly met with smiling faces and excellent service. In particular, Jeanie the Concierge was, in one word, brilliant and Dennis on Front Desk was so welcoming! A couple of staff in the Lounge bar area were a little "too cool for school" but this was made up for by the attentive service from David in the Bar area. He was great to talk to and professional in his customer service. The doormen were wonderful as well, always smiling and happy to assist. The hotel is in a great location, an easy walk to a plethora of great shopping, restaurants in Soho and Nolita. The rooms are quite comfortable, though a little on the smallish size. The bed was great to sleep in considering the terrible din of traffic outside.
The staff are definitely the hotel's best asset. The hotel has a great feel and vibe. Would stay at the Soho Grand again and recommend it.
What the hotel could do better:
The traffic noise was at times quite unbearable. The double glazing, not so effective. I guess that is because the side we were staying on was on the Holland Tunnel side - Canal Rd. The plumbing is a bit noisy as well and you can hear other hotel guests chatting away in the corridor.

What I liked:
Loved the location, the general ambiance, and the room which while - of course, it's New York - smallish, was neatly laid out and organised. Bathroom was great.
