My husband and I stayed here for our 20th year wedding anniversary and had an absolutely pleasant experience. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating- really made for a welcoming stay. Our room was amazing and we will definitely return for another special occasion. more

The hotel is definitely showing signs of wear and tear. The rooms are nice but could use some TLC, the furnishings, carpets and overall fixtures are not in the best shape. Housekeeping is also an issue, we were here for 5 days and 3 out of the 5 days we returned to our room after 4:00pm and the room was... more

Floors 1 - 7 have no views. Bathrooms smell like vomit, but they supply candles. Our neighbors were throwing items off their balcony to the street below. Security was as loud if not louder than the drunken, dangerous guests. We were offered a discount one night, but not the night after. They did move our room, but to a comparable... more

Don't get me wrong, I liked the hotel, but found it rather lackluster over all. The location is charming. When you first arrive, it is rather disappointing. The lobby floor, the elevator etc. all seem rather worn. The room had some maintenance issues (one shower - we had two - did not drain properly, the floor next to the bed... more

The last neighborhood of NY that is still 'cool' and not taken over by Starbucks and Pottery Barn now has a cool hotel without the self-conscious attitude of a 'W'. The Rivington...low key entry...check in on 1st floor...quiet, confident and sexy vibe. If you want the antidote to 'corporate' america hotels..here it is...if you want frequent sleeping points, business centres... more

Hotel is in the lower east side and i loved the neighborhood feel of the location. Great shops and restaurants nearby (try the creperie a block or 2 from the hotel). Hotel rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable with great views from the floor to ceiling windows. The complimentary breakfast was just ok. It would have been nice to have... more

You probably should not book this hotel without understanding the location: the Lower East Side is a bit more gritty and perfect for a good night out. It is also 10 minutes walk from Soho. But is not the ideal location for tourist hotspots, if this is a priority. For me, the location was perfect, but it is worth noting.... more

The hotel is fine, but definitely NOT worth the price. The rooms are spacious, and clean enough, but the spacious bathrooms are dark (do hotel designers not think people need light in bathrooms? Absurd). Too dark to even apply makeup, so don't even bother trying. The beds are comfortable, but sleep might be difficult given how thin the walls are.... more

The Hotel on Rivington can be a fun place to stay, but it's not for everyone. First, understand that everything about the hotel has a nightclub feeling to it. The first floor is actually a restaurant/bar (with an adjacent hair salon). You take an elevator to the second floor to check in, and there is a lobby on the second... more
