This is a real gem in the value for the price for the location. I booked a twin room but received an e-mail to upgrade to a queen room for a very small amount per night which I took advantage of . The room is clean and the Molton Brown products are awesome. This is my second stay here and will not be my last.

Hotel is within spitting distance of Times Square and Broadway- perfect if you’ve never been to NYC before (and easy access for breakfast at Stardust diner to beat the queues!). It can get busy in the area but the hotel was quiet and the bed was very comfy. Hotel room small, we struggled to find space for the case once opened but it was clean, comfortable and perfect to just dump our stuff and get out to explore. Would recommend!

Not coming back

First room, broken A/C. Second room, dirty, poorly working A/C, leaky sink, leaky shower, shower was either ice, cold or scolding hot… No in between. Decent location in Midtown, but expected everything to work well for the money. Would not stay here again.

Filthy and rude front desk.

I didn’t pay for the four seasons so was not expecting much. There were soo many bad things I could have got over if the main things were good. They were not… the bathroom was filthy with stains and hair in the bath and sink. I called and was told there were no other rooms available. No one came to clean it. We cleaned it. The front desk was rude. No apology, just didn’t want to help. So the rest of the small stuff that just irritated me once the room was filthy and the staff were rude… 1. The air conditioning sounds like a rocket in your room. No kidding, scared us when it turned on. 2. The walls are paper thin. I heard every word of the conversation next door. Almost entertaining when I heard him (or maybe her) fart. 3. The bathroom door dowsn’t close without the three pull tug on it. 4. The lights in the hallway leak through the door and are on all night. 5. The elevators are nasty and kind of shut 6. The carpets in hallways are badly stained and smell. 7. The ice machine is broken but I can go down the road and buy some if I like! 8. The water pressure is non-existent. It will take you 10 minutes to get wet. 9. There is no fan in the bathroom and the door opens right to the bed. Strategic bathroom use. 10. $40 destination charge per night not mentioned in advance. I hope they use it for the cleaners or to fix the ice machine. All 10 small things are that, just small, but altogether with a dirty room and rude staff this place is not somewhere to stay. Nasty!

This was our first time staying at Aura and it won’t be the last. The location was perfect for everything we were doing. The staff was friendly and helpful, which you don’t always find in NYC hotels. The room was spacious and the bathroom was clean. We couldn’t have been happier.
