Hudson Hotel

Terrible hotel if you plan on working while here. There is not space in room for laptop and no common area to work from. I eventually set up in library bar only to be told by manager I have to move to dark noisy area of hotel. This hotel is essentials hostel with lively party bar in it. I enjoyed by previous stay as was out drinking in evenings but this trip was for work and hotel was terrible choice.

Stayed at the Hudson 3 nights from 3rd to 6th August, have to say after spending 7 nights on the transatlantic cruise ship queen Mary 2 into New York, kind of spoils staying elsewhere. However I found the hotel just too dark and as previous reviews, rooms tiny with little hanging space, on the plus side room was spotless with comfortable bed and staff were friendly and helpful, and the burgers Delicious. Popular hotel for the young, not so much for us oldies with failing eyesight 😉

I'd booked with Thomas Cook and all the photo's looked decent with a good star rating, but on arrival, the hotel is very dark and oppressive. Staff were helpful, and my daughter had paid for an upgrade to a 'deluxe' room - on entering the room, i dread to think what a standard room was like! the room was small, and the bathroom was ridiculous! i could only just sit on the WC, my husband had to sit at right angles as there was literally no leg room between the toilet and the wall in front! Though clean, the wardrobe space was inadequate with not enough hanging space, only a few hangers and no drawers whatsoever. There was no rep available, but luckily we didn't partucularly need one, but still, should an incident have occurred, the rep was no where to be seen and no notification of where to find him/her which I think is extremely poor.
