Great hotel with wonderful staff
I've stayed 6 nights at Distrikt hotel with my sister. When we arrived from a pretty exhausting trip (customs at JFK was horrible), we were welcomed by very friendly, helpful staff. They really made us feel like home, gave us good information on the neighbourhood and restaurants etc. The man who helped us with our luggage was also super friendly. And this through out our entire stay. Times Square is a few minutes walk, across the street you have Port Authority bus station (also to and from the airports), at the end of the street you can take the subway and you're close to the big variety of restaurants of 9th Avenue. If I visit NY again, maybe I would prefer a hotel which is in a more quiet neigbourhood but for people who don't mind to stay in the middle of the hussle and bussle, this hotel is perfect. The rooms are very nice, clean and we didn't have any noise from the streets (we stayed at the 7th floor).
Too bad the elevator didn't work very well. You had to waive your roomcard before pushing the button but the waiving didn't really work every time so the elevator took us to the 20th floor and up several times. Nice to meet new people in an elevator, not so nice when you arrive at the hotel exhausted and just wanting to get to your room. We booked breakfast buffet in advance but this was a big mistake. I would really recommend going somewhere else to have breakfast, or maybe order breakfast from the menu, maybe that's better than the buffet. 
I would really recommend this hotel to everyone who's looking for a great place to stay, with friendly staff who go the extra mile for their guests.
