A nice gem of a place. No frills but nice touches. Checkin was efficient and the lobby area was welcoming. The room is small but well thought out. I had essentially everything I needed. They even provided a curated list of off-the-beaten-path food options. The price was budget friendly. Thanks for a great stay.

The staff are absolutely amazing! They go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable, know the area, well, and always full of great ideas. Rooms were clean, recently, renovated, and spacious. It was winter, so we could have the window open, but I can imagine a lack of AC being brutal during the summer. We also had no housekeeping during our entire stay…While we’re not usually picky about it, it would’ve been nice to have been told this when we first checked in. There was only one small garbage in the bathroom, so things piled up and needed to be cleared out by us daily. That’s being super nitpicky, but all in all a great stay, and would recommend to anyone looking for a clean, no frills stay in a great area of Chinatown.

Perfect little spot to sleep for the night. Was easy to get to Brooklyn from the hotel and really appreciated the hosts. They gave us lists of all the special, delicious restaurants in the area! There was no fridge in the room which I wished there was but other then that it was clean and comfy!

Fantastic. Very old school.
This is a wonderful gem. Neat as a pin, friendly service, nice products without eco-guilt. Not glamorous, but lovely mid century vibe in my room. Surprisingly quiet. I loved it and will be back.

No frills and teeny tiny room. But perfectly comfortable if you have to stay in this part of Chinatown. Tons of street noise outside. But quite in the room.

Mimosa was a great hotel. It’s small and quiet, tucked away in a nice bustling lower east side neighborhood. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful - even providing an invaluable list of nearby restaurants and must-sees. We hit a few of the recommended restaurants and were not disappointed. Would absolutely stay at Mimosa again the next time we come through NYC.

Don't believe the 10-star reviews
Properties like this make me question whether I will use Hotels.com again. I had a business trip at a time when hotels all over the city (including this one) were very expensive, but I was reassured by the 8+ star review on this site and high reviews on Google, which I now believe are fake. The main problems were the noise (the rooms are definitely not sound proof) and ventilation. You can hear subways passing close by all night long. Worse, though, is the room-to-room and hallway noise. The bed is literally three feet from the door/hallway, and you can hear everything, especially the very loud doors when they close. I also heard the toilet flushing in the room above. What truly made the stay uncomfortable was the lack of HVAC control. You have no control over how warm or cool the room is. To their credit, when I inquired at the front desk after checking in, they were able to turn the temperature down. Do not believe the reviews that say the room size is normal for a NYC hotel. There was barely room for my carry-on suitcase (I had to put it on the small stool next to the desk), and I don't know what two people with two suitcases would do. I have NEVER been 3' away from the door/hallway in a NYC hotel bed. It did seem clean, except the stained carpet, and the TV with Netflix/Amazon Prime was nice (no regular cable channels though). The bakery across the street had coffee. It's also a short 5-minute walk from the subway. The $200 deposit made me uneasy.

Hotel Mimosa was one of the best hotels I've stayed in as a leisure traveler in NYC and an outstanding value. My room was modern, clean and modest in size (like many NY rooms) with a comfortable bed, a desk and chair, and rack-style open closet. The bathroom was roomy with a rain, hand-held shower. The hotel was surprisingly quiet both in terms of rarely hearing other guests and externally you rarely heard street noise even though the Manhattan Bridge (which also has subways running across it) is across the street. The staff was friendly, attentive and professional looking in suits. The neighborhood (between Chinatown and the Lower East Side) has a number of public transportation options with easy access to the F, B, and D trains and is somewhat gritty, but is a popular area to stay in right now and always felt safe. Walkable to a number of sights including the Brooklyn Bridge, Little Italy, the Tenement Museum. A number of thrifty restaurant options in the area, too.

Close to transportation. I had an unpleasant encounter on the phone at the outset when making the reservation. This continued when I arrived at the hotel. However, on my departure the manager and I had an heart to heart conversation and everything ended amicably.

I cannot say thank you enough to the staff who were amazing! We were shocked by the level of customer service at this establishment. The rooms were clean and bed bug-free (we checked thoroughly as we are very paranoid) a very close walk to the subway and all in all a fantastic hotel to stay at. For the price and the quality, it is definitely a hotel I will be recommending.

Highly Recommended
An excellent stay for one person in a small room. Check-in was excellent with friendly reception and handouts of restaurants in the area. Second floor room was totally quiet because of multi-layered soundproof windows. Large bathroom with good shower. Also a cup containing supplies such as comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, shower cap. Nice details: a bedside charging station and a remote control to turn off the overhead light and the fan. Easy ten-minute walk to the intersection of Bayard and Mott, sort of the heart of Chinatown. Checkout at noon, and they will hold your bags if you want to spend more time in the area. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

Staff was excellent and very helpful. Peeling paint unacceptable. No controls on the AC - not good but managed to do a work around with the suggestion of receptionist. Toilet Paper is okay for Mexico (it falls apart when water hits it) but not the US. Do they have a plumbing issue? Old Pipes? If the plumbing meets standards buy good toilet paper. Same with the Kleenex in the room. These are minor things that make a difference. Location was good because we were in China Town. Arranging cab to LaGuardia for $43 was very helpful. Lobby looks nice. Potential is there and with a little work it could be much better.

Lovely room, lovely people, excellent service. 2 problems: very close to a train that was hard to sleep through, and no fan (or any climate control) inside the room to drown out the noise. You have to call the desk to adjust the temp, really weird. If you sleep soundly through train noise, then this is 5-star.

Greetings, Thank you for your feedback! We provide portable fans in every room in addition to our Centralized AC system which we monitor and control by computer. European hotels have this function. If the windows are closed, there should be excellent soundproofing, as our multitude of reviews show.
