St. James Hotel - Times Square - Niujorkas

Well we got what we paid for, it was cheap and in a good location by Broadway etc, however it took a local NYC Taxi Driver 3 attempts to find it!!! Thew room was ready for us, it was a little bit worn hotel and the front staff didnt really seem to know what eachother were doing, it wasnt a very happy desk but hey it did us for the night. The air con was noisy but acceptable, it just wasnt anything to write home about, we then stayed in the Ameritania for 4 nights as planned which was fantastic value and right next door to where the letterman show is filmed, brilliant staff and good rooms. The St James is a budget hotel with a relatively good location but with little character and no enthusiam from the staff...... sorry

The hotel was very clean and a very good location, my only concern that i had was the hotel dind't provide a safety deposit box for the guests, but other than that i would go back again.

My friend and I stayed at the St. James hotel for 2 nights in Sept and when we came to the room our room, our key did not work for the lock of the door. They had given us the wrong key to the door. When we got the right key for the door, it still didnt work and had to get maintainance up to fix the lock. When we got into the room we realised that the hotel room window faced the main road leading to Time Square and was not double glazed for sound proofing. We could hear every truck/vehicle and emergency siren in the area of Manhattan. We was not informed of this when we checked in. A piece of the window was held in place by duck tape. Very unprofessional. Staff was not very friendly. I will not be staying at this hotel again.

The best feature of this hotel was its location and convenience to subways. The rooms are very basic; no alarm clock, iron, or hairdryer. The water pressure is not dependable. The water temperature can change at any given moment. You have to leave your room key at the front desk anytime you leave the hotel. Having said this, if you just want a place to sleep this is a satisfactory choice.

Old hotel but for that price and location are we very pleased with our stay and maybe return for shorter stays! M

The location of the hotel is great, close to Times Square, Rockerfeller Plaza and convenient subway stops. Right near the hotel are several deli's for breakfast and lunch, Starbucks and a few pubs/restuarants. The Irish Pubs nearby were family friendly provided you went early in the evening. The hotel itself was clean and value priced. We were comfortable in our room, but it was definitely basic accomodations. The hotel offered few amenities - no ice machines, no restuarant, etc. - but the rooms were clean and comfortable. The elevator is very slow, so try to stay on a lower floor if possible. I would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't need more than a clean, convenient place to stay. Internet was avaialable for a fee and you can check baggage for few as well.

Hotel is at a good location for tourist- Restaurants open 24 hours, Metro buses easy access

Good price for a single guy on a budget,room plain but clean had the ac,tv it's own bath what more do you need? Close to Times Sq,deli next store,eat there every day,good prices for NY

The rooms need updates, but the service was efficient and the room was always neat and clean. Very close to the Times Square, nice breakfast places in the area.

Hotel St. James was an old New York style hotel, not like the upscale resort style hotels I am more familiar with. I enjoyed the personal service and the quaintness of the place. It was small, but that was what I needed, since I spent most of my time enjoying the sites of New York City. It was nice to come "home" to. Everything was clean. It was a small adventure in itself. I would stay there again.

Great location to Times Square. There's a handy convenience store right out the door where you can get coffee or snacks quickly. I was worried the room would be loud or old, but it was clean and quiet on the 8th floor. I was pleased and have booked another stay. There's a business center that I didn't use, but I got cell service in the room.

For the price, I couldn't expect anything better. I swear, it was walking distance from everything. Times Square, The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and many other attractions is just a short walk away. The room was clean and I loved the bathroom. There's also a deli next door. Again, for the price, it's not the waldorf astoria, but it does the job. Hell, you're in NYC, how much time are you planning on being in a hotel?

This hotel has a great location. Its a bit worn and there is very little in the way of comforts. Great for a simple visit but would not recomend for an extended stay as it lacks comfort items often taken for granted. The staff were very friendly and accomadating. The room was large for NYC and as stated its a few blocks from access to everything the city has to offer.

The St. James is located just a block or so from Times Square. We loved the convenience aspect of this hotel. But the room itself was sub-par. The window unit air conditioning hardly worked, and we were kept awake a lot of the night because of the dripping (condensation??) from the window unit from the floor above us. This hotel felt dated and light on the amenities (no safe or iron in the room).

I had a room fronting onto the street and there was a lot of street noise. In the New York heat the aircon was definitely required but the one in this room rattled and made a lot of noise. There was an envelope left in the room requesting tips for the cleaning staff which is not somethng I have encountered before; I felt tht because this person was oging to wandering around my room that I should tip so I did. The position of the hotel is great and convenient, the staff are competent and the room was clean to an appropriate. It was value fo rmoney but unless you are a heavy sleeper Iowuldn't recommend going here in summer and avoid a front room.

I have been traveling to NYC for years and have stayed in many hotels. The St. James is a wonderful place to stay. Its location is perfect, its staff is helpful, however what is outstanding is the cleanliness of the hotel and rooms. This means more to me than almost any other factor including price. Its an older hotel that is kept up very, very well. It is a great hotel if your using your room as a base and going out a lot. Nothing wrong with staying in the hotel, but if your looking for pools, spas, room service, etc., it does not provide those services. I look foward to staying there with my family again.

The room is extremely small and the AC was annoyingly noisy. Couldn't get a good sleep. There is no sound proof at all. We were waken up by the noise in the hallway millions of times. Since the AC was so noisy, we had to turn it off to get some sleep.

I spent a week at the St. James. It is smack in the middle of the Theatre District and thus handy to Broadway and Times Square. They have free Wifi which was why I selected the hotel. Hotel staff is friendly and competent but not intrusive. The Hotel St. James is a good value in midtown Manhattan.

very pleasantly surprised, the room was the largest budget room I've seen in NYC, very clean,great location if you want to be in Times Square, the lobby is spectacular, extremely comfortable place to sit and read or meet with friends. We would definately stay again

thay have an exelent ubication for a very good price. i like it!

Convenience was exceptional. Very clean. The bed was not as comfortable as I would prefer, but pretty good for the money. I would definitely stay here again.

The rooms are not that great, but if you are just there to sleep it is fine. Great location, right in Time Square. Friendly staff. If you are looking for all the bells and whistles this is not the place for you.

Great Hotel with a great location. Unbeatable for the money. Elevator sounds like someone banging on the wall. There is no way to get away from the sound, no matter which room you are in.

The room and bathroom were clean. The bed was squeaky and since I'm a light sleeper, I woke up frequently. The elevators were very slow and I often took the stairs. The stairwell was dirty. I would recommend this place to someone looking for a good, central location, who is more concerned with what's outside the hotel, rather than inside it.

Convenient to Times Square and most major attactions. Hotel was well maintained; would not hesitate to stay there again.

I would highly recommend this hotel to any budget conscious traveler. There were small things (like a rattling A/C) that were easily overlooked considering the cost and location of this hotel. A hotel of this quality, less than a block from Times Square is amazing! The rooms vary in size, so its probably worth a few dollars more to get the king sized room. The sitting room was comfortable (despite the small TV) and a great place to meet up with friends and chat - or make new ones. Once I got used to the old fashioned key system, it was actually quaint and a great excuse to interact with the friendly desk staff.

The location is excellent, near subway station, bus atation, Bryant Park, and Times Square. The hotel is old fashioned but clean. My room had a perfect minimalist decor, clean bathroom, soap, shampoo and a double bed which would have been better had it been queen size. Internet is available at the lobby for a fee.

Had never heard of this hotel and while looking on Hotels.com - found it! There were mixed reviews, but weighed what was important to me; after all, who spends a lot of time hanging in the room? Pleasantly surprised, the room was very clean, spacious, towels were actually soft. However, there was no bath mat for the floor, no exhaust fan and also no hair dryer. I brought my own hair dryer, so it wasn't a problem. And my flip flops worked very well in place of a bath mat. Location is awesome! All around, two thumbs up from me. I'll be booking again soon.

If you choose to stay at this hotel, it should be merely for the reason of convenience of location. It is in the perfect location for a low cost, but don't expect any "extra's". The hotel is old, and the rooms are very small and slightly uncomfortable. So, all in all if you're staying in the city for just a couple nights and you'll spend a lot of time in Times Square then the Hotel St. James is a good choice, but if you're looking for something a bit more upscale, I'd shop around although you're almost guaranteed to spend more money.

Small room, but the bath was nice sized. The location is absolutely awesome! Located one block off Times Square. Basic room for a good price; location, location, location.

It was better than expected. It was not a luxurious hotel but it was clean and less than a block away from Times Suare. The staff was very nice and helpful. If I ever visit New York again I would not mind staying there again.

I found the service to be excellent and you could not beat the location! The price was reasonable and they even offered us a free upgrade at check-in!

Staff very freindly.Room clean Had a good time

It honestly depends on the time you arrive. I arrived early and the staff was horrible. It seems like when the shift changed the staff , especially one young man was very helpful. Complaints were everywhere form other guest, from broken toliets to one elderly lady trying for over 20 min to get in her room. I ended up having to assist her, but she said that none of the staff would! If you're old enough to remember the 70's furniture, and the size of your dorm room in college, you'll be well prepared to visit this hotel

Utilitarian, sparse, but location and price are outstanding. This is a place to sleep and shower while doing business-all that I need.

Utilitarian No bar no restaurant but helpful staff and OK for an overnight stay

The bed was a double and not very comfortable, but the bath had been updated. Let me sum it up with on our way onto the elevator on the 9th floor, we came across a hypodermic needle on the floor - gross. So, I told the front desk person and he was like, "OK, we'll get it" like it was no big deal....hmmm.

The St. James hotel was a comfortable hotel located just off of Time Square in New York. It was a short walk to a subway station and to many pubs and restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. Its an older hotel so it does not have lots of modern conveniences, but you do not need a plasma screen tv if you are there to see the city that never sleeps.

An old bare bones (no extras beyond a bottle of shampoo) hotel that is kept pretty clean. The location is just a short three minute walk to Time Square and the Theatre District and an easy walk to several landmarks. Price is relatively low. A good enough place to stay if all you need is a bed and shower.

Just loved the style of the hotel. It was an older building but well renovated to keep the charm, yet retain the uniqueness of the original building. Wished it had a hair dryer and clock in the room though.

Location was fabulous and exactly what we were after. I had reserved 2 rooms with 2 double beds because there were 4 of us meeting to spend the weekend in NYC. Rooms were unexpectedly spacious. My previous visits to NYC (staying at other hotels) had shaped my expectations for much smaller rooms (especially at the price paid). These rooms although not on the same floor (only negative) were quiet and clean (they were not close to the elevator). The tranport desk was helpful in getting train information. Taxi cost is only about $6.00 to the train station. Subway is about 3 short blocks away. My daughter came in from JFK and had no problem taking the subway right to Time Square. All in all, the hotel experience was great.

Room is very small, but clean, staff is very nice & helpful and barely 5 minutes from Times Square. Very close to Grand Central too- a $5.00 cab ride. For the price-perfect.
