Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Loft 523 was beyond phenomenal. The hotel was very nice and modern, with enormous and minimalistically designed rooms that were large and well set-up. The service was excellent, with friendly, outgoing staff who were very accommodating and a pleasure to interact with. The location was perfect, away from the noise but close to the action, just two streets from Canal Street in a safe area. The dining options were a bit lacking in quality and variety, but the overall experience was top-notch.
Staying at Loft 523 was an absolute delight! The rooms felt more like trendy apartments and were modern, clean, and filled with lovely scents. The location was perfect, away from the noise yet just steps from Canal Street and all the action. The service was outstanding with friendly staff who were always ready to help. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, lacking in quality and variety.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was enormous and minimalistically designed, offering a comfortable but slightly odd experience. The service at both Loft 523 and International House was very accommodating and a pleasure to interact with. The location was perfect, away from noise yet close to the action. The dining options were lacking in quality and variety. Overall, my experience was memorable with a few drawbacks.
