Hotel St. James - New York

I totally recomend the St James Hotel... is half block from times square if you want to be in the heart of manhattan at an affordable price this is the place to stay!

THIS HOTEL IS ALL ABOUT LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.THE ROOM DID NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING. IT DID NOT HAVE AN ICE MACHINE. YOU HAD TO LEAVE YOUR KEY AT THE FRONT DESK WHEN LEAVING AND RETURNING TO THE HOTEL. WHEN PICKING UP THE KEY ANYONE NEAR THE FRONT DESK HEARD YOUR NAME AND ROOM NUMBER. THE DOOR DID NOT HAVE A CHAIN. OTHERWISE IT WAS CLEAN, BUT […] SMALL. Pročitajte više

I enjoyed my overnight stay and was able to walk to just about everything on my to do list - broadway, good food & shopping. I honestly liked the ambiance but I'm not a new & shiny kind of girl. This place has character and I loved it. It's NOT fancy so if you want that go somewhere else. It is very nice, clean, relatively quiet and in a perfect location […] if you want to get out and see the city. I'll be back. Pročitajte više

I could not believe the condition of the room. I have stayed at Motels in the past that is more update. The furniture, television, carpet and furniture was so outdated. Even the Radiators in the room looks like what was in my Grandmother's old house. My room could use a good paint job as well as a safe in the room like modern hotels.I stayed at the […] Holiday inn Express which was more updated than this hotel. Pročitajte više

No frills hotel in great location rooms clean bed linen fresh staff very helpful

The lobby of the hotel is a little tired. My room was perfectly fine, clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had wireless in my room based on reviews I had read. All in all, a good value.

front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. room cleaning was just ok. pleasantly pleased with our stay here. great location, half block from times square but very quiet ( our hotel room was at the back so awful view but very quiet- totally acceptable)

We are a family of four on a 3 month holiday. We stayed in NY for 5 nights at the St James Hotel. The website and comments state the condition of hotel & rooms very well. It is so close to Times Square and many other fantasic NY sights ... we walked everywhere. The hotel is old and looking a bit tired, but it is clean and tidy. The rooms are very small […] (especially for four peope sharing 2x double beds), but also clean & tidy. A few minor grumbles were - the noise ... NY is noisy anyway, so just need to get on with it, but there is contruction going on a few doors down and that kept us awake early & late (even ear plugs didn't help!) ... also the room was very hot, we couldn't turn the heating down. The big pluses for us for this hotel were, the location, the free wifi, the cleanliness, the value for money and finally one of the 'front of staff' Joey ... he was absolutely awesome, from the time he welcomed us at 7pm when we arrived, to the time we left. Our kids absolutely loved him and drew a picture for him + insisted we left him a NZ gift and tip. He couldn't have been more helpful ... from assisting us to get to a baseball game (Mets lost!) to advice on where to eat ...10 out of 10 for Joey for us. Pročitajte više

Spacious room in good location BUT no drapes on the large windows just translucent miniblinds leaving the room light at night AND heavy, long term construction on the 45st side (rooms X02 thru X05). Note X = floor number. Other rooms may also be noisey in the morning cement trucks, hammering, heavy equiptment, etc.

I stayed at the Hotel St. James in April with my best friend to celebrate her 50th birthday. When we first checked in we were given rooms on the 12th floor and were told nicer rooms would be available the next day and we could switch. I would have been fine with the 12th floor, but my window did not close/lock properly, and there was a fire escape out […] the window. We did move to the 8th floor the next day, nicer and larger rooms. My room was in the back of the hotel and had little, if any warm water for showers. My friends room faced 45th street and she had plenty of hot water but her internet access was not as good as mine. The hotel staff are very friendly and accomadating and the hotel is in an excellent location. There was no air conditioning in any of the 4 rooms that we saw, which could be a factor in the warmer months. Also, there was no way to control the room temperature (radiator heat), but we never felt our rooms were cold. I would stay here again but it would depend on the time of year. I would also request a room toward the street, noiser no doubt but hot water in the shower would make up for it. I know they are renovating rooms so maybe they will have that all worked out soon.

Hot water was a scarcity and it was necessary to run the water for almost 15 minutes (a waste) in order to get some that was hot. Our room was on the 6th floor and the street noise all night was very loud. There was no ice available (at least on our floor). The room and sheets were very clean. Leaving your key at the desk is strange, but required. Good […] wi-fi for free in the room. Nice staff, tried to be helpful. Great little cafe open 24/7 right next door..... so lack of coffee machine wasn't too miserable. The price is reasonable.... but I'd be reluctant to recommend it unless people understand what they are getting (or not getting). The hot water problem should be easy to solve - and would pay for itself in water bills. Pročitajte više

The entrance and loby of this hotel are very nice. The rooms are like Motel 6-bear minimum, except at Motel 6 I think the plumbing works...

This hotel was sad-as in run down, poorly maintained and quite dirty. The only bright spot was the pleasantness of the front desk staff. But that's just not enough for me. It was not worth the few dollars saved and next time I will cut corners on something else, but not the hotel.

The St. James Hotel in Times Square is a very nice place to stay if you're looking for something considerably more affordable than surrounding accommodations. There are no bells and whistles, however, so if you plan to spend most of your time out touring the city, this is a very good choice for you. If you're wanting to spend more time indoors enjoying […] all the amenities, you're gonna get bored. It is a very clean place and the beds are very comfortable. We do highly recommend it.

Great Hotel. Nice firm bed. In NY to see shows and eat, walk around. Get location In Times Square. Could get everywhere we needed to be by foot or just a short subway ride. Great deli and restaurant right next door.

Hotel St. James is a very nice hotel with a friendly staff, conveniently located and it appears to be well maintained. However, it is mostly just a place to sleep. Although they advertise WiFi, don't expect to have anything usable. The TV was very small and appeared to be an afterthought. There was no pen and paper common with a hotel room (yea, a small […] thing, but try to write something down when nothing exists). The front desk staff was very friendly and I can tell they were used to dealing with complaints about the WiFi. The rooms were spacious, especially for a times square hotel. If you don't care about WiFi and amenities, then go for it. If you depend on a connection, stay away. Pročitajte više

It has a very good location and the staff is friendly, however the hotel needs some work done. I would not recommend it if you have to stay more than 3 nights.

Room was very small. It was very hot in the room. iit had an old fashion radiator that banged all night long.Great location. Close to everything.

Hotel had an excellent location, however the decor was dated and the window mini blinds didn't cover the entire window. Also the bathroom window didn't lock and this made me nervous as I was traveling alone eventhough the room was on the 11th floor. The room was very clean, however the walls were thin and I could hear my neighbor's tv and alarm that […] he/she hit snooze on 7 times in the early morning which didn't make it a great way to wake up. Atleast my shower was warm in the am. Pročitajte više

When i had booked this hotel the reveiws on trip advisor give it 3-4 out of 5, some where good some not so good, you are always apprehensive until you actually see it for your own eyes, there where no surprises at all, loved every thing about the hotel. I would recomemend it to anyone.

OK, it is not The Plaza. If you want the Plaza, book a room at The Plaza...and pay 10 times as much. Hotel St. James has it's own kind of charm. Yes, our room looked like it has not been vacuumed in a while, but the bathroom was spotless. Yes, the furniture in the room looks like it was taken out of my 1970's dorm, but they do give you extra pillows […] and blankets. I wish I had gotten the name of the gentleman who checked us in, and was there most week days to give us the key to our room, but you could not have had a more friendly, gregarious person. He works days during the week. I have stayed here 4 times before and keep coming back because of the price and location, and best of all we never caught any "critters" from there, unlike some other fancier places. Who stays in their room while in NYC anyway? BTW...my favorite restaurant in NYC, Bond 45, is across the street. Pročitajte više

Very nice hotel, obviously very old but kept up well and renovated. Elevators could use some work, not very reliable and very very slow. Staff were helpful and courteous.

Excellent hotel with excellent location. Like it and would come back anytime

This hotel was right in Time Square. What a perfect location. The staff was very friendly and the room was spacious and very clean. Will be coming back!!!

The Hotel St. James' best features are the location and the price. It's basically a no frills, basic hotel. The room was fine; small, but comfy and clean. Took a while for the water in the shower to get hot. I'd recommend bringing a bar of soap, as the ones provided were microscopic. The staff was friendly enough. No bar or restaurant in the hotel, […] but only 1,000,000 or so places to eat and drink in Midtown/Times Square, so that's no big deal. I'd go back because the price was right for an acceptable hotel in a great location. Pročitajte više

Great location. Clean room. Friendly service. Only lukewarm water in shower. Overall, I would go to the hotel st.james again!

We stayed here for a week visiting NYC. From the low price we had quite low expectations, but we were absolutely positively surprised. The hotel is nicely placed close to Times Square and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The deli next door serves good and varied food at a reasonable price. The room was ok, but did not have air condition (could […] possibly become a bit hot during summer) and did not have a fridge/minibar. However, you get what you pay for and if you are in NYC as a tourist, you should probably not do much else in the room other than sleeping. Despite being on Times Square, practically no noise from the streets was to be heard, so sleeping was no problem (our room faced to the back). We would recommend this hotel for anyone on a budget trip, perfect for students or young couples, more interested in seeing NYC rather than the inside of a hotel room. Pročitajte više

You can't get a better hotel for this price in Times Square area. Excellent staff, partially renovated rooms (prefer the lower floors). One caution only: avoid during summer, there in no AC. Any temperatures above 80ºF should be endured at another hotel. When I return to NYC, St. James is my first choice!

We had to make a late check in, thus the person Who attended us at the reception was not very friendly, and had no one to help us with the bag. At least, on the other days, some attendants were more pleasant. The location is fantastic, extremely closed by Times Square, but the hotel itself has no attractions at all. But it was clean and very well located, […] is worth what we pay. I recommend the hotel, but I still believe that the staff should be trained in order to better attend their customers.

I decided to spend the night in NYC and took this room at the last minute. The Hotel was older and the room was worn. The carpet was frayed at the edges and spotted. The bed was comfortable enough and the flat screen TV was the only modern convenience in the room. The room doors used keys and you had to retun the key to the front desk every time you […] left the hotel. The hotel was conveniently located but I don't think it was worth the money spent.

I stayed at the St. James primarily because another review said the hotel was clean. Considering that most of the time the room is used is sleep time, I was not interested in amenities such as pools, etc. The St. James is a basic hotel. Nothing fancy, but the other review was right on, my room and the lobby were clean, the shower worked nicely, and […] the bed was comfortable. Those are my priorities and all were satisfied. Pročitajte više

this hotel is perfect for tourists who want to be close to all the action of Time's Square....so central to everything. We had a room towards the back of the hotel and it was very quiet despite all the partying on the streets. Very friendly staff.

If you want a nice sized room - this is not for you. Before booking, I read the reviews that stated room was small. And boy howdy is it. But if all you want is a place to lay your head at night and get up in the morning and go at it again, this will work. Opened the windows to cool the room as there is no AC. No breeze either as our room faced a small […] alley and surrounded by more brick. And lastly - a hot shower is not available. At best, the water gets luke warm. Just deal with it. Like I said, you get what you pay for Pročitajte više

Best location for the$$$$$$$$$$. Updated bathroom. Clean. More old European style hall and elevator but certainly adequate. Cozy room. Walk to most theatres. Safe neighborhood.

Great location - 1 block from Times Square. Don't expect any amenities or a great room. Stay here though if you just need a place to sleep and aren't going to be in the hotel much. It's loud at night but that's too be expected with the location. Overall we were very pleased but also knew what to expect.

Nice people, older hotel, the room had no ventilation - awfully warm - hard to sleep, and then in AM - no hot water. Great location.

1 block from times sq., great location, Hotel is older, but if you only need a place to sleep this a great spot for the price.

If you are looking foe somewhere cheap to stay then it does the trick. Not much of anything in the hotel and the rooms are very small. The location is great but that's about all. They should really look into updating this hotel a bit. I will not stay there ever again.

The hotel room was clean and the bed was reasonable, but there was very noisy 24 hour building work going on on a site right by the hotel and the window did not do any kind of decent job at blocking the sound. If I had not had ear plugs then I wouldn't have had a minute of sleep. There was also a big pipe running floor to ceiling in the bathjroom that […] was almost always very hot and therefore the room was boiling hot and stuffy (as the window had to be kept shut) even when the outside temperature was cool to cold. A shame really, as with better glazing and without the pipe it would have been a pleasant enough hotel in a great location. Pročitajte više

Very well located in the heart of NYC. A nice sized room. Comfortable and clean. No frills, but comfortable. The windows are not double pane, therefore the street noise was a bit bothersome from our second floor room. Ear plugs helped for the second night! Would stay here again.
