YOTEL New York is located in the heart of Manhattan and offers unique high-tech features. There are space-saving rooms and public areas that provide an opportunity to work or socialize. The hotel is just blocks from Times Square. It has a rooftop terrace with amazing views of the city and comfortable seating for work or leisure. There’s even a robot that will store your luggage for you. Their motto, “Everything you need, and nothing you don’t,” describes the hotel perfectly.

Space-Saving Cabins at YOTEL New York

The hotel has mostly small rooms (or “cabins” as they call them) that maximize every square inch of space with clever amenities. The smallest room size is a solo room at 114 square feet. The rooms come with gel memory foam adjustable SmartBed that lets guests sit up comfortably to get some work done (from bed) and provides more space. The bed adjusts flat with the press of a button. There are plenty of USB and power sockets to keep your phone and laptop charged. There is not a closet, but a rack or two for hanging clothes and bags in the bedroom and bathroom. Suitcases easily slide under the bed for storage. There are plenty of nooks for storing various items. 


Even though the rooms are small, there is still space for a hairdryer and iron/ironing board. For those who want more space, there is a Penthouse King Suite. The suite has a circular King size bed and a patio hot tub. It also comes with a Peleton bike and SONOS sound system.


I don’t mid the small rooms, they are actually kind of cool and make you realize that you don’t need all the extra space. It would be nice if the lobby and rooftop lounge offered something more interactive and social. Just because the rooms are small, doesn’t necessarily mean the price is. Rates can start around $200 and can go up to about $1,000. Depending on the season and availability, rates can fluctuate. You can save by joining the Club@YOTEL.

In the cabins, guests can connect their devices to the Smart TV, take advantage of keyless entry via a smart phone, and enjoy the in-room adjustable mood lighting (kids will love this). You can choose from a rang of lighting colors and have it rotate slowly, quickly or stay the same. Guests can easily check in or out via the lobby kiosks.

One of the most impressive features of YOTEL New York is YOBOT. It is a large robotic machine that will automatically store your luggage in a secure bin. Kids will love this feature!
