Skyline Hotel

I had to come out for a business trip to visit the Stella Triple Pier Antique Shows- this hotel was very good for me. When I checked in, to my surprise, they had overbooked the standard rooms, and in light of this, upgraded me to a 2 room suite for free. Certainly it wasn't a Caesar's Palace suite- but it was comfortable, clean and had a decent view. The staff was friendly and helpful- the concierge was very personable. It was close to the areas I needed to be in- and it was quiet. I had a great experience here and will definitely return on my next trip to NYC.

$100 a night in NYC. Blocks from Broadway and Times Square. Count me in! Have stayed here twice, and have already made reservations for next X-mas. I can't use Priceline...we need a guaranteed two beds when travelling with the kids, so the deals are harder to come by. This is probably one of the best deals in Manhattan you can find. Now I didn't say best hotel! But it was really better than I expected. Clean, quiet, convenient. Safe. Thanks Skyline, keep your prices where they are and I will be back! I will say they have just added a new reservation interface on their website (www.skylinehotelny.com) that is not good. I hope they change it back. It was easier to tell what was available at what price before.

We asked for a revovated newer room...It was quiet and comfortable and I remember the parking fee was cheaper than most NY hotels. Only negative that I remember (we stayed here about 1 year ago) was that it took a wait of over 1/2 hour to get our luggage after we'd stored it with management. Also it is a little out of the way from most NY activities/attractions.

I have just returned from New York while taking my elderly mother there, we stayed at the Skyline Hotel, we could not have wished for a better place to stay, very friendly staff and very helpful, we had a very large room that accomodated two very large double beds, the room was very clean and was cleaned every day the only issue we had was that if you fancied a lie in, putting the "Do not disturb" sign on your door goes unoticed, the maid will still come in, so beware. The Hotel restaraunt is quite resonably priced and very nice food. It is a short walk to Times square and the shopping Mall. Definatly go on the 4 hour coach tour this will cost £27.00 for 4 hours but is well worth it. We would stay at this hotel again.

We've just returned from a 4-night break in New York staying at the Skyline Hotel. We found it to be very clean, the staff were helpful & it's only a 10 - 15 minute walk from the Rockefeller Center, 5th Ave & Broadway. We'll be back soon.

Had a really good stay here. The room was nice and big, we got 2 double beds, even though we only booked for 1. Nice clean bathroom with shower and bath. Convenient to order food - you can order from in the hotel, or from any of the nearby diners/delis and they will deliver to the hotel. Didn't have the best of views from our room, but we were only in there to sleep - didn't bother us too much. The view from the 9th floor where the swimming pool is is excellent, you can see the empire state building etc. clearly. Heating/AC was a little noisy, but we slept perfectly with it on all night, so it's not that bad. Not the best location, a few blocks from Times Square, but we didn't have a problem walking there whenever we wanted to. Metro station closeby too.

I stayed in the Skyline Hotel January 5th through 9th 2004 and have no complaints about my visit. The room was spacious and clean, the staff members were friendly, and the concierge was extremely helpful. The location was ideal for getting to Times Square, Rockefeller Plaza, and the subway-- only a few minutes walk. Several diners and restaurants lined the street near the hotel, and most delivered directly to the hotel, which was convenient for late-night dinners. The view from the pool area on the top floor was beautiful. Even if you don't use the pool, go up there anyway (especially at night), and bring your camera. It's worth it.

Found this hotel quite by accident on the Internet. My daughter and I were having a girlie shopping trip in March 2003. I was a bit worrid about the location but once we have settled in and had a quick look round I realised it would be OK. The Staff were pleasant and efficent and we had a room with 2 beds overlooking the hotel entrance. We tried breakfast in the hotel on the first day, a bit of a mistake , there are plenty of other places offereing better choice and cheaper, so avoid eating in the hotel. Bus service is great and a much better way of seeing the city than the subway. Someone did tell us that only poor people used the bus but we didn't care, the entertainment factor ( one bus trashed a taxi one day) was well worth it. If you are staying more than 3 days go to the Subway and buy a 7 day ticket it works out cheaper, the hotel only sells day passes We were caught in a deli across the road by what I understand is a common scam in the USA. I gave the man a $20 note whihc he took out of my view to the till and he gave me change for $10. When I said I had given him $20 he showed me a $10 bill. I know I gave him ?20. I understand this is very common in the USA so be on your guard and always announce loudly the denomination of the bill when you hand it over. We have booked agin for this year, hopefully we may get an upgrade, we wait and see.

First visit to New York and booked this hotel through expedia, stayed for 4 nights and loved it! Booked a twin room and had no problems. Location was great only a few blocks over from broadway, times square and major attractions, as well as central park. Reception staff very helpful, room was clean and tidy. Would definately stay here again when i return to the city. For the tourist its a fab place to stay. Walked one block across to 50th and on the corner was a lovely diner where we ate breakfast every morning, very cheap and very friendly.

Good value for the location. You won't get a mint on your pillow but it's clean, spacious, and very well situated. Bathrooms have been updated. Hotel staff was courteous and helpful.One note, if you rent a car (which you really don't need to) know that you can park it around the corner on the street with no problem, no cost just as long as you pay attention to the street signs and know when you have to move the car.
