The rooms were okay. They were a little outdated but that’s fine if you aren’t staying in the room very long during your trip. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The air conditioning worked nicely. Kept the room nice and cold. We thought the shower situation was a little rough because of going in after others. People left hair in the showers and that clogged the drains when you went to shower yourself. Shower area also really tight. Other than that the stay was good. We made do with the shower situation but it’s definitely something the hotel should keep in mind. We enjoyed the free breakfast the morning that we got to take them up on it. The food was yummy and we liked the option of coffee or juice. If I had to I would stay again.

While the rooms are older, the Wi-Fi is easily accessible. The re-painting was likely sloppy, but the room was great for solo or couple traveling inexpensively in NYC. The subway is very convenient to the Leo, the walk is safe and well light, and easy food options are right there.
Absolute highlight- I travel often and get the free breakfast BUT this was extra. The dining area is tremendous with cut fresh fruit every morning (in July, atleast) with to-go fruit there as well. Any small recommendation- while the coffee is also free, it's from a machine and okay.
The dollar value is more than acceptable and I would recommend.

I loved the location. They had a system where when u leave, you leave your key at front desk. When you come back they buzz the door to open and you have to verify it name and room number. I thought that was very secure, anyone can't just walk in. Hotel is older, rooms are older but very clean and they come daily to make your bed and leave clean towels. I will definitely stay again!

The photos on expedia are deceiving and clearly AI. Our room was dirty, it had gloomy dark blue paint which was spilled all over the wood trim and big drips on the outlets. It was not a pretty beige as shown.The carpet was old, No artwork on the walls, the chair was very dirty, it had the tiniest tv I have ever seen with lots of exposed wires, the safe did not work, there was a radiator inside the shower. I do love the history of the building and the employees were amazing but we couldn't stay there another night. We left and went to another hotel.

The location of the hotel was perfect.

Staff were pleasant and the reception was 24 hours.
Complimentary hot drinks are available in the lobby.
The room was clean and comfortable but a little dated. If modern is what you’re looking for this is not the right hotel for you.
For the price we paid it exceeded my expectations. I would recommend.

The hotel is over 100 years old and still looks like. Bathroom shower had chipping of the tub, end table was worn and old, bed was old and small, TV was not working and when I asked to have it fixed, they said they would send someone. 3 hours later, I asked again and was told they couldn't find anyone to fix it. No compensation or apologies. Staff is slow and unresponsive to customers needs.

The worst hotel I've ever stayed at. The man at the front desk laughed at us because of our French accent. It was really inappropriate and mean. The worst room I’ve ever seen brown water ran from the bathroom faucet for over 5 minutes. The bathtub was completely chipped, and the bed was a mess. We had to sleep in a single bed; the other bed was so wobbly that it was impossible to stay in it without falling to the floor. TERRIBLE. We had to leave our keys at the front desk when we went out, and it was very complicated to get them back when we returned. The only good things were the view of New York from the room and the breakfast. I don’t understand the positive reviews. We will NEVER stay at this hotel again.

This building was not at all handicapped accessible. The entrance door was quite heavy - no auto-door, and the people at the desk never asked if I needed help even if they observed me having a terrible time. Never, I asked the man at the desk if he would carry my bag to my room, and he was hesitant and disturbed by my request.
They laughed when I banged into the door, and when I asked for any help.
The door stop in the shared bathroom was broken, it would not stay up, so it was painful for me to keep it up until the door closed, then I was able to lock the door, They laughed a that too.
They charged an extra $30.00 per cleaning of my bedroom.
This place was a disgrace.
I will not go back, not would I recommend it to anyone. TELL THEM TO BE A LITTLE MORE COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL NEXT TIME> NO ONE NEEDS a lazy comedian when having mobility issues.

I have stayed at The Leo House twice for a total of 8 days. Love the neighborhood. Very convenient and walkable to High Line, Chelsea art galleries, Union Square, etc. The staff are wonderful. Friendly, professional, helpful. The price is extremely reasonable for Manhattan.
The rooms are bare bone but clean and the beds are comfortable. When I booked in November for a May stay only the least expensive room type was still available: it included a twin bed, small closet, bathroom, and ac. Fortunately, they had hooked up the air conditioners because there was a heat wave while we were there. I’m not sure when they get the ac going - it says end of May in the literature but we had it from May 18th.
The noise level was generally quiet, except for doors closing loudly and perhaps housekeeping carts noise. The included breakfast is really a good deal: lots of variety. The coffee is ok, not great.
My room did not have a mirror of any kind except for the small mirror over the sink in the bathroom. Nor could I find a full length mirror anywhere in the common spaces, elevators, or lobby.
My television didn’t work and the staff said it was an issue with Verizon so there was nothing they could do. Apparently some other rooms were having the same problem.
I was told the TV was “a complimentary amenity and not a guaranteed component of the room rate” so no discount or partial refund was forthcoming.
I think all in all The Leo House is a great option for travelers on a tight budget.

This was THE WORST hotel I have stayed in.
1) I needed to put some items in the safe & I could not get it to work. I called the office about it and they sent up a maintenance person & he could not get it to properly work. So I could not use the safe at all.

2) I arrived on a very warm day in New York & the staff could not be bothered to turn on some AC before I got there. The room was 88.
I turned on the AC thermostat to 73 and after a 5 hour period when I was at a play in town, it was still at least 80 degrees. I contacted the office and the gal said she could not do anything about it. She suggested I open the window. Well the AC unit is screwed to the window so you cannot open it. It was too hot to sleep. So I lowered the thermostat to 61 degrees. Overnite it only dropped to 78 in the room. Still too hot to sleep.

3) the shower nozzle would not stay in the holder provided for it & would just drop to the floor. The only thing I could do with it was slide it behind the rod half way down.

4I registered for this room online so they had all my information. When I got there, they took a copy of my drivers license & ran my credit card for a deposit. Then they handed me a paper where I had to handwrite in all the information I had just given them. Why? It was the slowest ever hotel check in that I have ever had and I was running late for my play. I barely made it. Their check in process is totally inefficient.

I wanted to like this place more; I felt safe staying there, the bed was comfy, and the staff was nice. However, the room I had wasn't clean; my feet got dirty walking across the floor and I had to wipe them off before I got in bed. I knew that the building was dated, no problem with that, but the bathroom was gross. Paint was peeling from the tiles around the toilet, sink, and bathtub. Inside the tub, the paint was peeled and rust was evident not just around the drain. I did not feel clean or sanitary showering in there; and even though it was a single room, the door wouldn't even shut all the way. Pros though, the breakfast was good and it was a good location for sightseeing.

The breakfast buffet was good, wasn’t top-notch, but it had a lot of things to choose from my biggest reef was the rooms TV was too small and the bed could’ve woke up the dead, considering how hard it was it almost felt like the stone table and the Chronicles of Narnia, and the truly the best part of the entire experience was the staff they did the best job they could, but I go back never again, but that’s not because of a Leo house that’s because New York is too expensive of a place to visit

Some things to note, if you get the cheaper option you will not have a shower in your room, we did not realize this until we showed up. It's an old place that has an odd smell in the hallways and elevator. The staff was nice but you need to return you key every time you leave because its an actual key not a card key. This was fine but just something to note. I was disappointed with the breakfast, its similar to something you can get at a quality inn, the scrambled eggs were warmed up in a plastic bag in the microwave so I did not eat it after the first day. It's an affordable stay and I enjoyed it but if you care about these small details maybe pay to go somewhere better.

Older property, but well cared for. I had a street window that was

The staff were friendly enough. The included breakfast is excellent in terms of quality and variety; which makes the stay a solid value. I talked to a fellow guest that has been staying there for 50 years, so that says something - I’d stay there again too.

The Leo house is located half a block from the subway (A,C, E) in Chelsea, a 5 minute ride to Penn Station; It is a guest House, not a hotel, but had everything I needed. The room was cosy; The breakfast buffet, Monday through saturday, had the basics amd plenty to eat. The price can't be beat.
On the corner is a Target, and a great little deli/grocery, where I had large smounts of delicious food cooked on the spot at a reasonable price
Your room is priced according to th amenities: private bath, shower, single or double bed, etc, so you pay what you can afford.
Most guests range in the 20-40 or 60-80.
Very helpful staff.
It was oriiginally designed for German, Catholic immigrants 150 years ago, but is open to anyone.
Also, it is was moved from the original building to a newer one.

An affordable hotel in a great location, The Leo House is welcoming, friendly and very efficiently run. Material luxury is not the main focus so the rooms are quite basic. That said, the linen is clean and fresh, the beds comfortable and our room was serviced regularly. Plenty of hot water at all times, hair dryers etc are available from Reception, very good wifi - so all needs are catered for. The breakfast is excellent, with plenty of choice and lovely fresh fruit daily. We also enjoyed sitting in the small garden at the back of the hotel. There is inevitably some traffic noise, but I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The location of Leo House is terrific with close proximity to Penn Station. It's in a very vibrant neighborhood with galleries, restaurants and organic food markets near by. It is a plus that breakfast is included. It is basic fare but it is adequate and the breakfast room is spacious with a nice view of a garden. The chapel is also very beautiful and worth a visit.
I happened to stay at the Leo House when it was quite chilly and there was no heat which it made it uncomfortable. I did ask for an extra blanket and was accommodated which made it fine for sleeping but for dining and sitting around it was too cold.
I would say it would be better if you were an early riser--the walls are thin and one can hear loud activity from staff in the hallway by 7:00 am.

Unfortunately, my first trip to New York. Thought I got a deal on this property, however I went when it was 70 degrees and apparently only the lobby has AC. The rooms do not. I left within 20min. They would not help with a refund bc they said that AC is “seasonal” on their website. What a joke.

It's a great economical option. It should be noted that breakfast is not included on Sundays so something to keep in mind.

Leo House is charming, clean, quiet, secure, with a great location. It needs updating - celebrating a 100 year anniversary in 2026 - and may not be for everyone with the shower next door, but for us it was perfect and we will return.

Good breakfast. Excellent staff.

I came into NYC for a Celebration of Life and to see a Broadway play. My walking club members and I had stayed here years ago. I love the quiet of the property and it's proximity to the 8th Ave subways as I had to go to both the West Village and to 42nd Street. The staff was helpful in guiding me to my destinations. No breakfast on Sundays. I did go to Mass.

I enjoyed my stay at the Leo house in new york. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is great and within walking distance to Subway's, taxi's and easy access to transportation. Plenty of shops to walk around and some excellent experiences. Not that far from time square either. Just wish I had 24/7 access to a minifridge and or a microwave.

What a wonderful surprise! The facility is a walk in history, with beautifully preserved original features throughout. I was especially enamored with the kitchen and dining areas. Spacious lounges. Absolute treasure!

Ideally located in the middle of Chelsea, great price, wonderful tasty breakfast... The request to pay in advance outside of the app was worrying, but all made to work at the end after several lengthy calls... The condition of the rooms and common showers can be improved... All in all, best deal in Manhattan if you don't want to pay a fortune and can compromise with the condition of the rooms
