Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Richland LES is praised for its convenient location in Chinatown, near the Manhattan Bridge, with easy access to the East Broadway subway station and a bus stop right outside. Guests appreciate the comfortable, clean rooms equipped with amenities like a coffee machine, and some even offer impressive views. While most find the hotel budget-friendly, a few guests have noted the soundproofing could be improved. Complimentary water and, in some cases, snacks are a much-appreciated touch.

Acceptable but Flawed Stay

insufficient storage street noise
The shower was quite good
The room size proved problematic. Space for luggage storage was insufficient. Temperature regulation was also an issue as the room became uncomfortably warm at night. Street noise entered due to the need to keep windows open for ventilation.

long wait unmanned front desk
the location is good with easy subway access.
Checking in was a real problem. I had to wait with other people because they were having a meeting. the housekeeper hadn't finished cleaning the room, so they moved me to a smaller one. the front desk was often unmanned, sometimes with the person in charge sleeping in the lobby (i had to wake them up to get to my room).

An adequate stay

convenient location accessible brooklyn helpful staff small room limited storage bedside drawer
The location was convenient. It was close to several restaurants and bakeries. Brooklyn and the West Village were also easily accessible. The staff were very nice. They stored luggage when I arrived early.
The room was quite small. This was smaller than other rooms I have stayed in before. There was nowhere to store clothes. The only storage was small bedside drawers.

Good stay, great staff

helpful staff clean room complimentary water
The staff was always ready to help and answered every question with a smile. The room was very clean and the housekeeping came regularly. I liked the complimentary water, snacks, and a coffee capsule in the room daily.
I didn't like no fridge in the room.
