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 on the cheap... 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 tipsÉ Steps from restaurants, theatres and Times Square, the 414 is in an active, fun area with plenty to eat, see and do."
