In 20 years of traveling and staying at guest houses the world over, I have never once encountered such rude management. The email correspondence was absolutely appalling, with rude flippant emails to my questions. Essentially, the guest house does not admit anyone into its premises who do not arrive during office hours of 9 am to 6 pm. I informed... More

Our experience of the Abingdon began before we arrived when I received a rude and abrupt email asking what time we would be arriving the following week. When I pointed out that we had booked for the following month the only reply I got back was 'so you're not coming?'. It was only when I sent back the confirmation email... More

First the off site manager tried to charge me the wrong rate. I stress offsite manager because it is clear that no one is there on a regular basis to really care for the place. My first room was on the very noisy front side with construction that will probably go on for a long time. The bathroom had floor... More

First off, the manager was waiting for us when we arrived. Very friendly, he explained the guest house to us and the surrounding area. Stayed in the Garden room, very clean, very quiet. The door to the shower was broken but it was no big deal. Steep stairs to the basement but easy to access. The maintenance man was very... More

I had a great stay at the Abingdon. You cannot beat the location in the heart of the village. Walked to the Village Vanguard one night. Walked to coffee shops and great restaurants. Window shopping, too. Also, it's a couple of blocks from a YMCA which had an online offer of a free one day pass, too. I hadn't ever... More

Contrary to the negative reviews you might see below, this lodging turned out to be ideal for the budget-minded, independent travellers that we are. My daughter and I stayed in the Perrin Room. It had two twin-size beds and the decor reminded me of the homey cottages of Cape Cod. The room and the separate, but private bath, were well-stocked... More

We loved the West Village location, and the notion of an inn rather than an anonymous hotel. The place was clean, but very battered. The manager told us that the owner died earlier this year, and the estate/property is in probate. That may explain some, though not all, of the deteriorated condition. There is also considerable street noise, but, hey,... More

Just spent 4 nights at the Abingdon House with my husband and inlaws, and we would definitely go back again. We had the Roxbury and Windsor Rooms at the 21 8th Avenue address (there is another building at 13 8th Ave). After reading some of the recent reviews I was feeling apprehensive about our visit - but there was no... More

The website no longer represents the actual appearance ....Look elsewhere. Our third stay in the Ambassador room was a terrible mistake...Noise from the office, upstairs room and the hallway were excessive...my recommendation to the new owner-the old one died this year, is to close down and gut the place! Felt gouged!
