Our host was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Since this was an unfamiliar neighborhood, we really appreciated the welcome and guidance. We loved our room! We were disappointed that there wasn't a roof deck as advertised. We liked that they featured a local artist in their public lounge space.

This is a small, quiet hotel with limited service. The staff is generally fine, but nothing exceptional. One major issue is the poor room insulation — sound easily travels between rooms, which can be disruptive. Overall, it’s a basic place that works if you’re not expecting too much.

Our stay here was really nice. This location was convenient to all of our NYC tourist attractions while giving us a ‘home away from home’ feel in its charming design aesthetics. This is not the typical hotel in terms of amenities with dining/room-service but that did not detract from the experience, with local deliveries and a corner deli that was walkable. We also really appreciated the friendly staff and no fuss vibes around housekeeping or any needs we had while our family of 3 and dogs settled in for our vacation. I would stay here again and encourage anyone reading this who is looking for a more quaint hotel experience to check out the Modernist Hotel in Long Island City on your next trip to New York.

Alright hotel

Have to say I was a little disappoint based on the reviews and the photos provided by the hotel. The modern and high-end look of the photos do not reflect the property. It is more of a rental than a nice hotel. The leather couch present in the photos was non-existent. Instead, they had a futon-like couch that was not the most comfortable. The bed was a bit too firm for my liking, and the bedding had black, debris-like things on the sheets. They did change the sheets upon my request, though. Finally, the area is not the best. I wouldn’t call that part of the city Long Island City. It is more like the southern edge of Astoria. It was safe, but I don’t know if everyone would feel comfortable.
