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!

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

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.
The Leo House is always such a gem to stay at when I go to NYC!! The price is unbeatable, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and overall it’s a pleasant stay with a welcoming feel, as if you’re staying at a close friend’s house for a few days. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a hotel to stay in NYC that is clean, affordable, simple, and friendly!

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
