I stayed with a friend in this hotel for 5 nights and whilst our room was bright, clean and comfortable unfortunately construction work and road works were on going the whole time. They drilled into the ground til 2:30am outside my window and back up at crack of dawn with more banging, drilling and trucks pulling up. Understandably this was out of the hotels control however they did not do much to ease the situation after I queried if they knew when late night banging would stop. Minor set backs included the lift service and air con. The hotel has it's advantages, it's very central for the financial district and subway was a quick stroll from the hotel so made it handy to navigate the city. The staff overall were helpful and for the price was a reasonable stay, I am sure this would be an idea stay when the contruction and roadworks finish!!!

I stayed at the Cosmopolitan for 3 nights from the 30th May to 2nd June with 3 friends. We booked the largest room with 2 double beds and a sofa bed and were pleasantly surprised by the amount of space. There was enough room for all our suitcases and shopping bags, also plenty of drawer space, although hanger space was limited. The hotel was clean and service was good. After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor I knew to book a room at the back of the hotel, away from the street noise. We were in room 705 which was very quiet, despite the roadworks which were going on at the time. The location was great, thanks to the subway and it was amazing value. I would advise anyone planning a trip to upgrade to a larger room and ask to be situated away from Chamber Street.

We enjoyed our stay at the cosmo. My daughter's college dorm is in walking distance and that is what motivated staying here. We didn't have time to "experience" tribeca. We had two rooms -- one with double bed and one with 2 double beds. The cost difference between the two rooms was only $20 but the space was probably 3x in the room with 2 beds. Next time, I'll spend the extra $20. Our rooms were quiet. They were in the back with no view -- like we cared. The elevator is super slow. We gave up on it a few times. But an elevator shouldn't be a deciding factor. There's a very nice coffee shop next door with really good french toast, oatmeal and eggs. My son also loved his root beer float. We ate dinner across the street at Ecco which on the outside looks like a regular old italian restaurant but is an upscale white tablecloth place -- very nice, very yummy with prices to match.

I booked a room with two double beds for 4 people, and while not huge it was a decent size for NYC, and comfortable enough for the two nights we stayed in the city. The bathroom was tiny, but more importantly it was en suite, and spotless like the room itself (you don't need to worry about bedbugs at this hotel!!) The AC worked great, which was a real good thing as we stayed there in the middle of a heatwave, and helped to block out some of the street noise, which wasn't as bad as I expected, but I am a heavy sleeper. The staff was very friendly and professional, and when my friend accidentally dropped her necklace between the toilet tank and the wall and couldn't get it out, someone came up within minutes to help. Overall this is a great place to stay, and one of only a handful of options if you want a reasonable rate on a hotel room in NYC with a private bath, but don't want to sleep with the bedbugs and cockroaches either. I would definitely stay here again.
