Charming Little Hotel

Can't beat the location, if you want charm, ambience, restaurants, night life, eclectic shopping ... foyer is gorgeous ... restaurant cozy, nice atmosphere, good service & can dine alone without feeling odd ... rooms are basic but adequate ... i've stayed there twice, once alone, in a single-bed room, once with friend in 2 double-bed room ... small, but adequate enough for those who aren't staying too long AND who travel reasonably light with compactly styled baggage. Wash. Sq. itself is a wonderful backyard ... it's NYC in a nutshell. If you're looking for Trump style glitz, go uptown to the giant hotels.

Pathetic & abhorrent customer service

I write this review on behalf of my son & daughter-in-law who, unfortunately, stayed at this establishment. My review stems from the fact that on several occasions, I sent emails to their reservations department advising that I would pay my son & daughter-in-law's stay at the hotel. This I thought would be a rather simple request (how foolish of me to think that). My request, in short, was that they cancel the credit card details of my daughter-in-law supplied to them three weeks prior to their arrival on 06 October 2006 and debit my credit card. A very simple request. WRONG! I have had the misfortune of communicating with a person of whom I can only describe as an illiterate moron with a very, very limited grasp of the English language with an even greater limitation in spelling and grammar. How this person could hold her position with this hotel beggars belief. To end this review I can say that the moron has not only charged my daughter-in-law's credit card but also mine. Their response to this problem when it was brought to their attention this morning? We'll pay it back in six weeks. Little comfort to my son & daughter-in-law as their credit card had been wiped out. Unfortunately, your rating only goes to 1 (worst). Perhaps it would be prudent to add -10 which would then adequately describe this flea bitten hotel.

Good location.....disappointing rooms...not a bargain!

The hotel is well located close opposite one of the few green spaces in NYC (Washington Sq), in Greenwich Village, which has a friendly and human scale amongst the high rise anonymity of New York. The entrance lobby is well appointed with a cosy tea room at the rear. The rooms are on the small side, and the closets are totally inadequate. We ended up not being able to unpack one suitcase, and had to hang clothes from the shower rail in the bathroom. We asked if any of the other rooms had bigger closets and were told they were all the same size! The dining room is also small and we had to stand in line for breakfast every morning for 5 - 10 minutes. It is open to non-residents, and this causes even more congestion. The greeter was particularly rude to us. Breakfast is very basic: a bagel, fruit and coffee. We ate there one evening and the food was excellent but expensive. Overall we were expecting much better for the price, and we would not return to this establishment, but would search out a better deal in the same neigbourhood (with a bigger closet and a friendlier restaurant staff!).

Great Location - Great Simple Accommodation

You can't do better than the Washington Square Hotel for location, reasonable pricing, pleasant staff, nice breakfast (lovely waiters - one of whom wrote us a poem). The only downside is you have to book in advance because they fill up quickly.

Convenient for the Village

The two good things about this hotel are its location and its restaurant. For the rest, it is somewhat unappealing. Hideous decor and unless one books a large room, cubby holes to sleep in. The restaurant staff are very friendly and the breakfasts good.

Quaint, quiet with an international flavour

Washington Square Hotel is in an excellent location, especially if you enjoy Greenwich Village. The staff is polite and accommodating. The clientele are of an international origins which makes for a very unique experience. I always enjoy my stay at the hotel and the room rates are reasonable for New York.
