A great home in New York - made by the staff
We stayed here for just under a week, and had a great time all round. Firstly, pro's - staff are fantastic, very helpful but non intrusive; a rare combo in hotel staff. If they didn't have any answer for something, they found out and followed up - exactly what a visitor to New York needs. Rooms were a fair size for NY (although not massive, no where is unless you are paying suite prices). Funky and clever design made it feel like a true holiday space as well. Finally, great water pressure - might sound an odd point, but I have been in some NY hotels where I'd have been better getting a tramp to spit at me. Hotel is very well placed for Times Square and getting to other tourist attractions is easy as well.
Some drawbacks - not suitable for families as only two lifts, so waiting around sometimes for the lift could be a pain for kids in a hurry to pee, etc. Location abuts what seems to be a sightly dodgy area, so wandering out at 2am to find fast food wouldn't be something I did in this hotel, but I would in some other parts of New York. That said, New York cops are all over the place and I felt much much safer here than in London, for example. No taxi rank nearby, which is usually not an issue as cab run up and down the street a lot, but if you were heading to catch a flight I'd book a limo
Overall, we will be using Distrikt again if we go to NY, and it's all down to the staff. Management should make sure they stay happy - as they are worth their weight in gold
