What guests think
At Little Charlie Hotel, travelers consistently find very small but efficiently designed rooms, standout cleanliness, and notably comfortable beds, alongside a convenient Midtown East location near Grand Central and a pleasant rooftop space with light complimentary pastries and coffee.
Common tradeoffs include street-facing noise and thin walls, with earplugs and, in some rooms, a white-noise machine provided. Several guests note very limited breakfast variety and recurring shower water‑pressure or temperature issues. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though the front desk is not staffed overnight and responses can be slower after hours. Overall, expect a clean, budget‑minded micro‑hotel best for short stays and light packers.

Facilities
Rooftop terrace (including igloo-style seating) is a highlight, and a simple continental breakfast is available in the lobby. Facilities are otherwise basic for a small boutique property.

Rooms are small, very small, but cozy and nothing is missing. Good for a couple for a few nights or for singles. Personnel is great, friendly and supportive. The rooftop is top and open air complimentary breakfast is a must (breakfast available in the lobby and then transfer to the rooftop). Many nice restaurants in the surrounding areas. Recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at the little Charlie hotel. We especially enjoyed having our breakfast that we purchased from another location on the rooftop. Great little addition at the hotel. Our one complaint was the water pressure in the shower was weak and the temperature of the water was not hot enough. Room size with a little small, but that is to be expected from a New York City hotel. The staff was fantastic, complementary coffee, croissants muffins apples in the morning was also great. Very cute hotel, would definitely stay there again.

Great location, cool spot and comfy room. TV looks like a framed picture, so that was neat. Close to Grand Central Station so made getting around town and to the airport subway/trains easy. Bed was right next to window which was also cool. The best part is the rooftop igloos which are free and heated and have cool lights and electric blankets. Only downside was that the rooms aren’t super soundproof so you could hear things going on in other rooms at times. Great overall tho!

I’ve stayed at this hotel 2 nights. When I got there there was no one at the reception however there is a self check in machine where I did self check in and got my room key pretty easy and quick. Doesn’t even require deposit like in other properties. Room was pretty small but clean and with everything I needed. There’s even Netflix account to watch movies. Had my friends visiting me and luckily there’s a rooftop with blankets and heater inside the cute rooftop igloo love that. Definitely will stay there when I comeback to NY. Pretty close to Time square and central metro station.

Rooms
Rooms are extremely small but efficiently laid out, with very comfortable beds and practical storage; some beds have access only from the foot. Expect noise from 2nd Avenue or thin walls in some rooms, and a few rooms lack windows but are quieter.

Loved staying at Little Charlie's. Perfect place to stay in NYC. Pro: Clean, comfortable bed & convenient location. Small but very well appointed room. Complimentary bottle water. Pastry and coffee in the morning Con: Small bathroom, noise from traffic & sound from hallway (door slamming). But they provide ear plug! I will defiantly stay here for next trip.

Little Charlie Hotel is well located close to Grand Central. The breakfast was basic but a nice touch and the coffee was excellent. One challenge - the walls and windows are very thin. I had a room overlooking 2nd Avenue and it was very loud (I should have been clued in by the earplugs on the desk). If you are a light sleeper, request a room that doesn’t overlook 2nd Ave.

Bed was comfy, check in seamless. It is true it's tiny- prob best for a short stay w maybe 1-2 ppl max, and it's in nyc so it can be loud(not sure that any other place does a better job with soundproofing). They do provide earphones. But it was clean, safe, and worked for a short stay.

This should have been great. Hotel is clean and well maintained. Staff was kind if not particularly friendly, but hey it’s the city. I was even “upgraded.” But therein lies the problem. My “upgrade” put me on the ground floor, just off the lobby. It was unacceptably loud right up to midnight. In addition, my upgraded room had no windows other than a skylight. For which there was no shade. And to sleep I need DARK. So this particular room, at least, didn’t work for me.

We were only in town for one night, and the Little Charlie was perfect for us. It's a European-style hotel with small but spotlessly clean rooms and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom had the smallest sink I've ever seen! But the shower was hot and the bathroom was clean. The front desk staff was wonderful and stored our bags safely when we arrived before check-in time so we were able to attend an event without lugging our bags along. It took us no time at all to walk to the hotel from Grand Central Station. We will definitely stay here again!

As we would be arriving after the front desk closed i attemtrd to contact the property beforehand for late check in instructions. I called several times and emailed twice. No response. I contacted hotels.com and they also tried to reach someone at the property but also without luck. So i was nervous we would not be able to get in. That is frustrating when travelling. Jowever shortly before check in i got instructions, which i emded ip kot needing as there was a guy workimg at the front desk when we arrived. The room is way too small for my liking, but i new it was going to be. Just be aware that there is virtually no room to move around. Check out time is 11am and at 10:58am the guy that works at the front desk was knocking on our door asking us when we were going to leave. Never had that happen in my life, i thought it was ridiculous. They offer complimentary water which was nice. Location was good. Thats all.

Nothing was done. No staff available after 8pm, no phone number to call so if there's a real problem you're on your own. Continental breakfast is a nice touch and is decent. Staff is friendly.

This is the third time I’ve stayed at this property. First time was wonderful. Second time was good except I had a room facing second Avenue which was a bit noisy. This time, I hit the jackpot. A room by reception with no window which may sound attractive, but I thrilled because it is so quiet. I’m here for our trip and to stay so close to my office and have a quite nice sleep as a dream. The bathroom is huge. The room is clean. The air-conditioning works and I’m in heaven thank you. No thank you.

Gorgeous, inexpensive boutique hotel in midtown east, near the UN and all the embassies. Had some great Greek food a block down, and tried some delicious Georgian food at a restaurant right around the corner. We were there for a Broadway show, it’s an easy walk from Grand Central to the hotel, and you can be in Times Square from Grand Central in a jiffy. Nice amenities, and very pleasant staff.

Great that the room has controllable AC for heat/cooling, handy mid town location a few minutes walk from Grand Central station. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, clean and in a great area no more than a 5/10 minute walk from some of the main attractions, or is right on top of both subway and metro stations! Definitely recommend, we feel very lucky to have found this hotel when looking and would definitely stay here again!

Dining
Light continental breakfast of pastries, coffee and juice is included and appreciated, though options are limited and some found quality inconsistent. Several guests wished for more variety or protein.

The room is small like advertised. What i didnt anticipate was how loud it would be. I barely slept the three nights i stayed there. Yes, they offer ear plugs.. The room is clean. The shower took almost 10 minutes to warm up. I asked the staff for a second room card and she said she would have to go downstairs. I have never checked in anywhere with two people and didnt get a scecond room key. Breakfast is very limited too.

Rooms are small, very small, but cozy and nothing is missing. Good for a couple for a few nights or for singles. Personnel is great, friendly and supportive. The rooftop is top and open air complimentary breakfast is a must (breakfast available in the lobby and then transfer to the rooftop). Many nice restaurants in the surrounding areas. Recommended.

I’m not sure why this property has such a high rating. The area is naturally busy, but you’d expect better soundproofing, it feels like the windows are open all the time because the noise from the intersection is so loud. I couldn't sleep during the nights. Im happy I just reserved 2 nights there. The photos showed a bathtub, but our room didn’t have one, and the staff didn’t help when we asked to change rooms. Breakfast was also very disappointing, it was just coffee and pastries and fruit (apple, banana). the croissants were so stale I couldn’t even finish a bite. Overall, not worth the rating or the price.

We were only in town for one night, and the Little Charlie was perfect for us. It's a European-style hotel with small but spotlessly clean rooms and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom had the smallest sink I've ever seen! But the shower was hot and the bathroom was clean. The front desk staff was wonderful and stored our bags safely when we arrived before check-in time so we were able to attend an event without lugging our bags along. It took us no time at all to walk to the hotel from Grand Central Station. We will definitely stay here again!

We stayed for 4 days in August, and loved it. We thought the price was great, and it’s close to subway entrances, Times Square, and theaters. The air conditioned lobby is cozy - a great place to sit and rest if you have some time. We also loved that Remi43 (a beautiful coffee shop/florist) and John’s Coffee were on adjacent blocks. Very convenient in the mornings, and when we just wanted a close place to grab coffee in the afternoon. There is also a Georgian restaurant around the corner where we ate dinner, and the food and ambiance were perfect. Little Charlie’s was a great find - we hope to stay again! *One thing to note: their continental breakfast is very small - mostly pastries!*

This was an extremely small room. Like, closet sized. It was perfectly comfortable for a single person for a single night, but the half-sized sink was messy to use. Like so many hotels everywhere, you could hear everyone slamming their doors and talking in the halls, and a continuous, loud thunking sound forced me out of bed at 7 am on a Sunday morning. Water pressure in the shower not so great. The elevator was fast, breakfast in the morning more than adequate. Bed very comfy. Towels generous and that rooftop mini-garden is very cute. Great location. Very clean. Quick check in. Emails beg for a 5 star review but i cannot give it - so sorry!

Really liked this hotel. Very small rooms as others had mentioned but clean and with really nice extra touches (like breakfast and happy hour). Sound proofing is the biggest challenge with this hotel. They do provide earplugs. It was easy to get downtown using the 2nd street bus or the metro which was a quick walk over to grand central.

Room was clean and comfortable. There was a loud banging noise in the building happening intermittently into the late night and early morning. Very odd and I could not sleep while it was happening.

The quality of the room (although small) and location are great. But I had no A/C, no hot water, and the water pressure was a mere trickle. Nearly impossible to rinse my hair, unless I wanted to freeze under cold water. On the first night, I received a Robo-message inquiring about my satisfaction with stay. I responded that I had no air conditioning and cold shower water and *I never received a response, even though I stayed there for three nights.* I left at 8 am and returned after 9am so I made the best of it. As I said, the location and quality of the room is great- but no AC and no hot water is not okay.

It is a nice hotel that offers reasonable prices, but keep in mind that the rooms are tiny. I did not mind that, but for two people, the space is tight. It offers a nice European breakfast of croissants, pastries and toast , with coffee. Excellent neighborhood and fairly centrally located.
