Fantastic location and staff, we truly enjoyed our stay in the hotel. So many choices for breakfast: bacon and scrambled eggs. Extremely comfy beds, a safe box, TV set and a refrigerator in the room.

    The staff were super cool and the rooms were spacious and clean. The breakfast was lit, and the rooftop views were fire! Plus, the location was dope, just a quick subway ride away from Times Square and the Brooklyn Bridge. We loved chilling in our room, watching cable TV after exploring the city.

    Would've been even better if there was a cool hangout spot or game room in the hotel for us to chill and have fun with other young peeps like us.

    I chose Lic due to its close proximity to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, the parking facilities surprised me. The terrace with city views and complimentary full breakfast were delightful perks.

    Slightly dated, small twin beds.

    Located near several subway lines, with easy access to Midtown Manhattan and JFK airport. The hotel also has a fitness room and a terrace with good views. Rooms are clean and spacious, with basic but decent breakfast options.

    Some rooms may be noisy due to nearby construction or busy streets.

    The breakfast at this hotel was absolutely delicious and had a good variety of options to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of the scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. Another great aspect of this hotel was its location. It was just a minute's walk from the subway station, making it super convenient to explore all of New York's attractions. Additionally, the hotel was situated in a quiet area, which was perfect for a peaceful stay.

    One minor drawback was that the breakfast options were the same every day. However, since I was only staying for a few days, it wasn't a huge issue for me.

    We had a fantastic stay at Lic Hotel. The breakfast was plentiful and efficiently served, with a never ending supply of bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausages. The bacon and eggs were perfectly fine, while the rest of the food, including cereal, bagels, and toast, were very good. The hotel's rooftop terrace offered great views, and we enjoyed walking to the nearby East River for one of the most iconic views in Manhattan. The hotel's location in an area with light industry and various traders gave it an authentic vibe. The staff, especially the beautiful young ladies at the front desk, were incredibly helpful and customer service oriented. The room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with everything in working order.

    Everything was fantastic.

    During my Christmas stay, I enjoyed the fact that the hotel offered a simple yet included breakfast, which helped save some money in the pricey city. Additionally, the location of the hotel was quite convenient, being close to the subway and within easy reach of both the airport and Manhattan. Finally, I really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, where I could relax and take in the beautiful views of the city skyline.

    It was noisy, especially being located on the ground level, and it got uncomfortably warm at times. The view from the room was also not pleasant, as it faced a car repair store.

We were able to save money on transportation by taking the subway, as the hotel is conveniently located near several subway lines. The rooftop terrace offered beautiful views of the city, and the breakfast provided was simple but sufficient. we highly recommend Lic Hotel and would stay there again.

    lic is a well-connected gem with clean - spacious rooms and a generous breakfast. it's close to subway stations and a supermarket - making it super convenient. the rooftop view is even better in person, and the staff are exceptionally polite and helpful. the "on-demand" channels were a major plus, and the early check-in was a wonderful surprise.

    This hotel is conveniently located close to several subway lines, making it incredibly easy to explore the city. It is also not far from the center, allowing you to quickly reach all the major attractions. The staff here is attentive and the rooms are well-appointed, with comfortable beds and great water pressure in the showers. Additionally, the breakfast offered is simple but satisfying, with a selection that includes a tasty jam.

    The only downside, if I have to mention one, is that there could be more variety in the breakfast options.

The hotel was close to multiple subway lines and had plenty of nearby restaurants, a supermarket, and liquor stores. I felt safe walking around the area at night. The breakfast offered was plentiful and served in a spacious room. The hotel was reasonably priced for the cleanliness and comfort it provided.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    I chose Lic Hotel for its proximity to the iconic landmarks of New York, particularly the fascinating Museum of the Moving Image. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of facilities and services offered by Lic, including parking facilities and a terrace with stunning city views. The complimentary full breakfast served daily was a delightful touch, and the onsite bar added to the overall convenience of the stay.

    Nothing in the vicinity. Area feels deserted at night, but metro is reasonably close.

    During my recent business trip to New York, I had the pleasure of staying at Lic Hotel, selected by our director. The hotel promised a relaxing and wonderful visit, and it truly delivered. The gym offered a great way to unwind after a long day of meetings, and I appreciated the various recreational opportunities available on-site. The amenities, including the gym, ensured an enjoyable and rejuvenating stay.

    Breakfast wasn't varied, a bit cramped.

Additionally, there is a good supermarket conveniently located opposite the hotel. The rooms are clean and the bathroom is modern. The staff provides excellent service, and the breakfast options are satisfying. Guests can also enjoy the panoramic views from the rooftop terrace.

    The furniture at the rooftop needs updating.

    Our family had a blast at the nearby museums and parks, and the cable TV provided endless entertainment for the kids, especially with the popular children's show marathon every evening. The convenience of having such family-friendly attractions nearby made our stay even more enjoyable.

    In my wife's opinion, the addition of a kids' play area in the lobby would have been great for families with young children.

    I loved being centrally located in the heart of Long Island City, with easy access to the United Nations Headquarters and Empire State Building. The free full breakfast and rooftop terrace were a bonus!

    Who needs fresh fruit at breakfast anyway? So overrated.
