I’ve stayed here many many times over the years, have booked multiple rooms for family members during graduation week etc and it’s always been great. However my most recent stay was marred by two really awful guests on my floor with a dog that barked all night and very loud music played from 8am. I was surprised that dogs are welcomed in hotel rooms but apparently they are. Despite ringing the front desk three times during the night and again in the morning and bringing it up during check out, the hotel only apologised and didn’t bother to extend any goodwill gesture. That was particularly disappointing. So while The Allen has been a great place to stay over the last 5 years, I won’t be staying again.

Very disappointed. Poorly managed a bad situation.

We have staid at this property before. This time things went very wrong. We awoke to find that we had no hot water in the shower. They could not fix it and pushed us out at 11AM. Never offered access to another shower. Just apologized and sad the manager would be in touch about a refund. Of course they didn't and I had to call them. Then they only refunded $50. This room was over $300 - which is a lot for a place to not help us get to a hot shower and call us to kick us out at 11AM. I will not return. I'm sure a better managed property could have given us access to another room and I think their refund amount is insulting.

Simple but met our needs for 4 nights

This is definitely a no-frills hotel, but I don't regret staying there. It is in a convenient location, close to subway, SOHO, and lots of cafes. The decor is dated but the hotel is clean. Regarding daily room cleaning, the bathroom was cleaned daily and the towels were replaced, but our beds were never remade. We booked a Deluxe Room with 2 double beds, because we were going to be 3 people in the room. Be warned, they are not double beds - they are slightly larger than twin beds, and are too small for 2 people. Regarding sustainability - we were not provided the option to reuse our towels, and there was no recycling bin in the room. We wanted to watch Netflix on the tv. We called the front desk and she said "I don't know, because I don't watch tv". We never found Netflix.

Review: I stayed at The Allen Hotel with my friend from February 23rd to 25th. Upon check-in on the 23rd, I was required to pay a $120 USD cash deposit, with the promise that it would be returned to me at checkout on the 25th. However, they did not provide me with any receipt or proof of payment. As a result, I completely forgot to ask for my deposit back before flying back to Canada. When I realized this, I immediately emailed The Allen Hotel. It seemed like the general manager was handling the issue, but his response was slow and dismissive—only replying once a day and repeatedly refusing to process the refund via bank transfer. His excuse? “We are a business, and we don’t do wire transfers.” Really? A business that makes such a basic mistake and handles it with such indifference? Thanks to you, my wonderful memories of this trip have been completely ruined.

The staff was wonderful. We had a minor inconvenience in our room, and the staff fixed it immediately. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The hotel was in an area with great restaurants. The Tenement Museum is one of our favorite visits when we come to New York and it’s right next door! We will certainly be staying here again!
