Larchmont HotelEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

We’re pretty enamored of the Larchmont, a three-star hotel in the charming West Village, which feels much more like a budget bed & breakfast in London than a Manhattan inn. Few hotels in New York express the cheap-and-cheerful imperative more directly than the Larchmont.

The Larchmont’s 66 rooms are for the most part compact, painted in peaches and oranges, with basic furniture. We liked the small desks and in-room sinks. Though décor is not really the point of the Larchmont, there are a few interesting items. We loved, for example, the circle-framed mirrors. All rooms are equipped with phones, television and air conditioning.

There are a few en suite family rooms, though most rooms feature shared facilities. Toiletries are included, as are bathrobes and slippers for those late-night dashes to the bathroom.

A continental breakfast is included in the nightly rate. Wireless Internet access is free, and there's also an Internet terminal in the small reception area. The Larchmont gets extra bonus points for the kitchenettes found on most floors, open to all guests.
