Da Vinci Hotel

I have to admit that I was a little concerned (having read some of the negative reviews here AFTER making my reservation). I am happy to say that I encountered zero problems. All staff members were pleasant, and everything worked (radiator, TV, hot water). On top of that the rates were fair, and the location was astounding.

We stayed at the hotel in February. The toilet leaked, the radiator heater exploded and we were told we must have played with the knob. There were cobwebs on the ceiling, the maid never came to our room and to top it off when we checked out the receptionist insisted we never checked in!

Stayed at Da Vinci 12/26/2004-12/29/2004. Loved it! Cute boutique hotel with FREE breakfast. Great restaurant and a 15% discount for being a guest. EXCELLENT LOCATION in Midtown...10 blocks from Times Square, 3 from Central Park, 1 block from Carnegie Hall. Had no problems checking in, it was a great place to rest!!! Woud definately stay again!!!!

Stayed at Da Vinci Hotel from 11/09/04 - 17/09/04. We booked through Expedia and felt we had a very good deal. The hotel is just North of Times Square and a few blocks from Central Park. There were 4 of us staying in the one room, and we felt this would be very cramp, but for the amount of time we spent in the hotel we did not have any problems. Our room was clean daily and we had clean towels every day. (Even if the towels were a bit on the small side!). On reading other reviews - we did not really have any problems with the... more

Our plane landed at LaGuardia at 12:30 and we made our way by taxi to the DaVinci with expectations of a 4 day holiday in NYC. We were immediately informed that although our room was ready, there would be a $20 "early check in fee". "Sorry, hotel policy for all check ins before 3 p.m". We could leave our luggage in the lobby, it would be safe and come back later if we wanted. Anxious to unpack and get started we paid the fee, even though I had never been asked to pay such a fee before. The rooms are small, very drab, not so clean,... more

We spent the coldest indoor night at the Da Vinci. Even with 4 blankets, our room was so cold that we could not sleep, let alone attempt to take a shower! Although we requested and got another room the next night, the management would not give us any discount, and was not pleasant about it. We'd never stay there again.

I stayed at the DaVinci August 25-26. It's not the Ritz but it's clean, comfortable, and safe and in a great location. Don't come here expecting four or five star service but it's decent considering what you paid for it. I, for one, will be back.

Dear Sir or Madam: On July 23 we stayed at your hotel. We had originally intended to stay for 2 nights while we were visiting New York for the weekend. Our plans were changed because of a scheduling mishap with Hotels.com (they had us staying at your hotel on Monday and Tuesday night rather than the Friday and Saturday nights we had intended). When the conflict was realized your staff proved to be very understanding and helpful. Thankfully they were able to get us a room for that night and although were booked for Saturday, said they... more

We didn't have the greatest experience at the DaVinci. When we checked our bags, they just left them unattended in the front lobby all day (twice!). Of the two front desk attendants we came across, one was incredibly rude and the other was not the least bit friendly, however she didn't say anything outright obnoxious, so this was a definite plus. Although the hotel is very conveniently situated and the room was very clean, the air conditioner (though it made a tremendous amound of noise, clicking loudly all night) never actually made the... more

We stayed at the Da Vinci 6-04, in spite of reviews here. Clean, comfortable room. Oversize bath with amenities like hair dryer, infrared lamp. Well furnished room with substantial table and mirror. Cable tv worked fine. Staff was courteous and helpful. Good location. We'll come back.
