Chicago Tribune: "A Standout in midtown NYC... chicly decorated rooms look like something out of a photo shoot for a home magazine. All have flat-screen TVs, luxury bedding and large bathrooms with Lanovera toiletries. Free wireless Internet access in all 22 guest rooms, the lobby and a striking outdoor brick courtyard, lined with bistro tables and potted flowers..."

National Geographic Traveler: "In Hell's Kitchen, a real find is the Hotel 414 - a Euro-style auberge cached on a tree-lined street, geraniums popping cheerfully out from window boxes. Courtyard rooms provide that priceless New York luxury: silence."

Lonely Planet: "Comfy Broadway-base... Set up like a guesthouse, this great budget deal offers 22 tidy rooms a couple blocks west of Times Square. Staff hand out maps and brim with tips. Steps from restaurants, theatres and Times Square, the 414 is in an active, fun area with plenty to eat, see and do."

Daily Telegraph-UK: "Just about everything about this B&B is excellent. The location-short walk from Times Square, one block from Restaurant Row-is very convenient. The bedrooms, which are spread over two townhouses, are a good size and are good looking. Rooms are overlooking the pleasant courtyard separating the two buildings should be particularly quiet. A number of extras are included in the rates, including simple continental breakfast served in the lobby, all day tea and coffee, and computer access. In the low season periods, the rates can drop --a real bargain."

Best Little Hotel (Guide): "Go West. West beyond the Theater District. West of Restaurant Row. West to an area of tree-lined streets, low buildings, and glimpses of the river. This is where you will find the Hotel 414, a modest, folksy, and somewhat quirky bed and breakfast....What is special about this out-of-the way hostelry is that there really aren't many like them anywhere else around town."
