Me and my boyfriend stayed at Hotel 31 for 5 nights. We had a room on the 6th floor with a view of the Empire state building which was nice. We had a room with a shared bathroom and it turned out just fine. The 2 bathrooms on the floor were almost always available (at least one of the two on the floor), and clean. We could have gone to the next floor if they would have been occupied but never had to.
The room itself was pretty basic, a bed, desk, tv, phone and a sink. It was small but totally enough for the two of us. It was clean so we really can't complain about anything, for the price and location it's a very good value.
I can well imagine staying at Hotel 31 again. If you're looking for luxury then you should probably go somewhere else, but if you just need a basic room with a bed and toilet/shower, this is quite enough. Who stays at their hotel room much in NYC anyway?
