Nice hotel in a fantastic location
I stayed for one night at the GEM Soho Hotel on a trip to NYC with a friend.
 LOCATION 
The GEM Soho is located on Houston, a stone's throw away from Prince street and its neighborhood of trendy bars, restaurants and booking. The subway station is meters from the entrance of the hotel and there is a supermarket right next to the hotel as well. An excellent location for anyone interested to stay in Soho.
 AMBIENCE
The hotel is quite small and the lobby is anything but impressive. However, the gentleman at the reception was extremely nice and helpful and there is a homey feeling about the place. We felt very welcome and at home during our stay.
ROOM
We booked a twin room, which was rather large by NY standards. Bedding was really comfortable, there is large TV in the room, a safe, but no fridge. The bathroom is also quite large by the same standards. Decoration is simple, but tasteful. Like many rooms in NY, it is noisy, and you can hear the traffic hum while in the room. However, it is well isolated from the rest of the hotel, or we had no neighbors during our stay? There is free wifi in the room, which works quite well.
BREAKFAST
Not included in our room, therefore I cannot comment.
SERVICE 
During our too short stay, our contact with the staff was limited to the receptionist, who was very nice and helpful. It was a pleasure to chat with him and he also had a good sense of humor. Again, it contributed to the general sense of coziness of the place.
 VALUE 
The price was correct in terms of situation and room size.
 IN SUM
A very good choice for Soho! I will probably return on a next trip to NYC.
