Situated in busy Midtown East, the Hotel 31 is a dependably inexpensive alternative to the pricier hotels crowding the neighborhood. Hotel 31 relies on the same cutesy, old-time New York motif of its sister property, Hotel 17. You can expect the same warren-like hallways, the identical bellhop uniforms and caps among hotel staff, and the same ornate reception.
Hotel 31’s 70 rooms are on the small side. Many share toilets and showers. Room aesthetics rework the reception area’s fancy Victorian spirit, albeit in a less grandiose key. Rooms feature wall-length shelf units, safes, and sinks. Floors have dark wall-to-wall carpets, floral wallpaper, maroon and white bedspreads, and old-school office phones. (Those old-school phones may actually serve as a technological index, as Internet access is not on offer at Hotel 31.)
Hotel 31's Midtown East location makes it convenient for shoppers. This part of town is crowded with tourist-class hotels, many of them vastly overpriced. Not so at the Hotel 31, where double rooms with shared facilities are among the least expensive in Manhattan.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Hotel 31 neighborhood
Midtown East begins at Fifth Avenue and works east toward the water, encompassing the residential (and reviving) Murray Hill along the way. More business-oriented than Midtown West, Midtown East is home to many of New York's biggest and best law firms, investment firms, publishing houses, and advertising agencies, which fill up the many skyscrapers linking the avenues.
Still, there are plenty of noteworthy tourist sights in Midtown East, including Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations headquarters, Trump Tower, the Chrysler Building, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Midtown East is also somewhat of a shopping haven. The flagship Saks Fifth Avenue store is located here, as are Takashimaya, Chanel, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Niketown … Basically, if it isn't in Midtown East, then it's a few blocks north in the Upper East Side.
Not known for its nightlife, Midtown East is, at least, not dead after dark. Remember all those skyscrapers? Well their occupants begin to fill up Midtown East's bars, pubs, and steakhouses after office hours, keeping the neighborhood somewhat lively with suits, slacks, and skirts letting off steam. This neighborhood also offers easy access to Central Park and the many museums of the Upper East Side.
