3-star hotel

Guest rating: 3.7 / 5

Solita Soho Hotel is a contemporary 3-star hotel at 159 Grand St in New York, positioned between the neighborhoods many visitors come to walk—SoHo, Little Italy (about a 2-minute walk), and nearby Chinatown. The hotel is about two blocks from the nearest subway station, making it practical for getting around Manhattan without relying on taxis. Rooms are styled in a modern, compact city-hotel format and include complimentary Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffeemaking facilities; some rooms include city views. On-site offerings include room service and a low-key bar with a lounge for a casual drink after sightseeing. Guest laundry facilities are available, which can be useful for longer stays. From this downtown base, major attractions like Washington Square Park (~1234 m), One World Trade Center (~1453 m), the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (~1525 m), and the Brooklyn Bridge (~1541 m) are within straightforward reach.

Best for

This hotel suits travelers who prioritize a downtown Manhattan location near SoHo/Little Italy and quick access to the subway, and who are comfortable with smaller New York City room sizes. It can be a good fit for short stays where you plan to be out exploring and want in-room basics like Wi‑Fi, tea/coffee, and a flat-screen TV, plus a simple on-site bar/lounge and room service.

Travel tips

If you are sensitive to sound, consider requesting a room away from Grand Street; guest feedback often mentions noticeable street noise. With the hotel roughly two blocks from the nearest subway station, it’s easy to reach midtown sights like the Empire State Building (~3369 m), Times Square (~4386 m), and Rockefeller Center (~4648 m). Plan a little extra time for vertical movement in the building, as guests mention the single elevator can be slow.

What guests say

Guests frequently praise the hotel’s downtown location, citing easy walking access to SoHo, Little Italy, and nearby subway lines, along with generally friendly staff. Cleanliness and daily housekeeping are also mentioned positively. Common drawbacks include very small rooms and significant street noise on Grand Street, leading some to prefer rooms at the back of the building. Operational issues appear in some feedback, including a slow single elevator, reports of inconsistent customer-service experiences, and an instance of hot-water interruption.
