We stayed 5 nights here and found this hotel to be an excellent location for all the city sights! The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable. I reckon for the price, you cannot go wrong. The Tick Tock cafe on the ground floor is open 24hours, is cheap and the meals are... more

What a dump! This was our first visit to New York and what an introduction. Fortunately we were only staying two nights before setting off on a coach tour of the Eastern USA and Canada. We had a room, if you could call it that, more like a broom cupboard, on the 20th floor... more

Brilliant location and reasonably priced. Ask for a room at the front of the hotel and you'll have wonderful views of the Empire State Building. Across the road from Madison Square Gardens and walking distance to most places. Very handy subway station round the corner.... more

This was the worst hotel I have stayed in NYC. The building is pretty impressive from the outside (Art Deco). The lobby is also impressive, with large chandeliers and flat screen TV's behind reception. Unfortunately that is where good stuff ends. After a long wait for... more

A very good hotel - very clean and basic but SO central. Right outside the Empire State building and Penn Station. The staff were very helpful and the air conditioning worked superbly - have stayed at more expensive places which did not! A very good coffee shop in the... more

This was our first trip to New York (3 females) The hotel was tatty, dirty with long corridors more in keeping with a subway or tube station. The rooms are tiny and the air conditioning so loud we had to turn it off at night if we wanted a decent night’s sleep. ... more

First off, I have to say, if you have never been to New York, you must try and get there at least once in your lifetime. This was my first experience of the Big Apple and a special birthday treat for my wife. The first thing you notice about NY in February is the cold, -6... more

Good location - crap staff
from NYCGirlYork
Fabulous location as previously stated and the renovations are coming along nicely, stayed in a renovated room and it was clean, tidy and sufficient for our one night stay. However the Ramada seems to have upgraded its rooms and downgraded its customer service, the receptionist who checked us in was down-right rude and even asked us if we understood english (we're British) and when taking payment for the room managed to make an error and 'maxed out' our card. This fact didnt seem to concern her in the slightest and informed us, as it was there mistake they would sort it out but it would be 7 working days before we saw the funds returned - now with another week's holiday ahead of us this did not go down so well, as it was the majority of the spending money. Tried to complain to the management but they just weren't interested - they had their payment (and then some) what did they care. The next day we booked a town car through the travel desk at the New Yorker, who had organised a fleet of cars to take us and other passengers to the Queen Mary 2 for the next part of our holiday, the trip should have taken 30 mins and was a fully inclusive rate of $65 inc tips and toll - 3hrs later the driver managed to get us the dock having taken us to Queens, JFK airport, La Guardia Airport, downtown, and finally to Brooklyn, although we did have to stop 5 times to ask for directions as their driver had no clue as to where he was going and spoke little English, although this didnt stop him asking for another $20 dollars and toll money when we finally reached our destination. Word of advice if booking travel through New Yorker - make sure you ask for a driver who knows English!! Overall these 2 experiences have put us off staying at the New Yorker ever again and we have been regular customers of theirs for the last 3 years. Now we simply will take our custom elsewhere.
Artchitecture is important to me
from NewYorkTraveler1975
Since I am an artist, I really love the Art Deco style that the hotel has preserved. Architecture is important to me in a hotel stay, too. Not just room size or amenities. This hotel has some really ornate art and architectural designs in the rooms as well as common areas. Plus the hotel has a lot of fascinating New York history to go along with it (e.g., Muhammad ali stayed there after his famous fight with Joe Frazier.) The rooms quaint and cozy; a little on the small side but they're renovating a lot of the rooms to make them larger. I'd stay there again. ------------ btw, if you want an unbiased view of the hotel, check out Wikipedia's article on the New York hotel at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yorker_Hotel
Small but impeccably kept room, great location...
from Adrian9
My wife and I stayed in room 3303 ('Metro Room - 1 Queen') for four nights in the middle of our honeymoon. The New Yorker is still undergoing renovation and the reception wasn't finished but our room and everything else on our floor was. The room was tiny, there was barely enough room to put two suitcases down, but then this is New York. Everything worked. the air con was good, there was a flat screen TV on the wall (which wasn't straight!) and it was as clean as anywhere else I've been. There is a launderette in the basement but don't rely on it! There were 10 washing machines, 8 worked. There were 5 dryers, 1 worked! There was one laudry powder machine and it didn't work! The diner downstairs (the tick tock) is excellent, especially for breakfast, and the location of this hotel is spot on: the subway entrance is on the side of the building and Penn Station is the next block along. On the whole I would stay there again, but only if I got a cheap room.
2nd time around
from MORTYFOOTBALL
This was the 2nd time I had stayed at this hotel, last year they were in the middle of the renovation work and I found the hotel to be slightly smelling of cigarette/cigar smoke. This year however, the place is gleaming, spotless and the rooms are in neutral shades. pleasing to the eye. For the cost of this holiday I cannot complain at the price I paid and enjoyed a wonderful 3 nights in New York. The staff were polite and helpful and only too eager to help. The Tick Tock diner sells excellent food and a very reasonable price. Planning on staying at the New Yorker next December, roll on then!
Good hotel
from Visitortonewyork87
Stayed for a week in August with my husband for our wedding anniversary. Hotel - Hotel bedrooms have undergone renovation and are very clean and updated. We stayed on the 29th floor, in a corner room, which compared to reviews of other rooms, seems to have more space as we did not find it small at all. (Maybe worth asking for a corner room when you book - also means you get 2 sides of windows/views). View of river was good. Maid cleaned the room and replaced towels daily - room was always very clean. No coffee/tea facilities in room - however 10 mins after we checked in reception called to ask if we would like a coffee machine delivered to the room free of charge - which we got another 10 mins later! They gave us a couple of packets of coffee/milks which lasted a couple of days. We found the staff fairly friendly and helpful. Hotel does not have that many facilities but then you would not use much when staying in New York! Eating - Tick Tock diner is next door which is ok, there is another cafe/restaurant when you come out of the hotel and turn right, straight across the road (next to Irish place). Of course, there are tons of cafes/Starbucks etc around anyway. The restaurant next to the hotel did very good food and fairly reasonably priced. The Irish place also does nice food. We did not find many other great restaurants around the area - think you would have to know where to go and probably out of this area to get a really good meal. Travel - subway is right next door to hotel. Can walk to a lot of things from hotel - including Grand Central Station which is about 25 mins walk away past Bryant Park. Penn station is across the road also. Would recommend using the subway which is $2 a journey rather than being ripped off by yellow cabs! You can also get discounts on buying lots of tickets on the subway. Attractions - as mentioned, a lot is nearby. Would recommend Top of the Rock (Rockefeller building) rather than Empire State as queues much shorter and view just as good. Broadway is up the road - can book tickets on ticketmaster or we just went to the theatre and bought them direct and chose our seats. WE used Gray Line bus company and bught a 3 day bus tour ticket where you can hop on/off the various tours they do. The price included a boat cruise which was good. Would recommend going out of the immediate area to see things e.g. Central Park, South Street Seaport etc etc. Overall - a good experience at this hotel and would stay again.
Excellent Location
from asim500
We have just got back from a family holiday in NY and can safely say what a great hotel the New Yorker was. The location was ideal - a miniute's walk from the metro, 5 mins to Empire State Building. Staff were OK, they didnt seem to be in a rush to do anything or be overly helpful but I suppose you should accept that in NY We went with our 2 children (4 & 1) and experienced no problems - make sure you request a double room with 2 beds though. The kids loved having a McDonalds opposite. We had breakfast at the diner next door and what was very good - typical breakfast was 2 eggs, toast and hash browns for around $6. The room had a desk as well as a plasma tv ! Good central hotel
Small room, clean, perfect location.
from Traveler0987654321
Stayed at the New Yorker on a business trip (booked it because it was just next door to our meeting place). But I must say it also seems like a truly excellent location for any tourist visiting Manhattan, so I figured I'd mention it here. The hotel itself is average, but the location is just perfect: very easy access to all major attractions, lots of excellent restaurants, diners, bars. You can just walk everywhere any time of day or night. This is indeed a very safe area - not something that you can take for granted everywhere in New York. The room was small, and clearly was not one of the newly remodeled units: all the plumbing looked like it was a hundred years old. But everything would run just fine, no complaints there. It was actually interesting to see this part of history intact. I've seen some vintage plumbing in European hotels before, but never here in the US. The room was clean, AC unit worked just fine, didn't give me any problems. Nice view from the window. Not sure how comfortable I'd be in a room of that size if it was the two of us traveling with lots of luggage. But it was definitely comfortable enough for me and my carry-on. Like I said, it's an average hotel with small rooms (well, this is New York!) and the perfect location.
Fantastic, far exceded my e
from ShaneCald
The hotel was fantasticly located, starbucks dunkin doghnuts tgi fridays all on the door step. Rooms were very nice and clean. Try for room 3601, huge with two closets and lovely flat screen tv. Airconditioning was very effective and the view was great. Its very handy for subways as penn station is right on the door step. Its location to macys was a big selling factor as you can walk home for a rest in 5 mins. The tick tock dinner had lovely pancakes but avoid the coffee. Its also quite expensive. One restaraunt which cant be missed is tir na nog, 1 block down from the hotel with exceptional steaks and mash potatoes. The apple pie is a must. Pricey but all in all worth it especially for irish tourists because of the music, atmosphere, irish tea! and irish staff. So the hotel was excellent and you wont regret staying there. Trust me!!
Nice hotel, Good location
from babyaim
We booked this trip through expedia, and having been to New York before i know that you dont get much for your money. This place was on offer and cost just over £100.00 a night for a double room. The room was small, i mean no more than a foot round the bed of free space. But is was Very Clean and pleasent. The bathroom was tiny but again clean. Air conditioning was a window rattler unit, but it did drown out the noise of the police sirens... but my grandma had a disabled acess room, which was fantatsic, lots of room, lovely big bathroom, Sofa and seating area. And the bonus....A fantastic view of the skyline.... The Lobby seems very open and you walk in to the diner or the bar, but to access the lifts you have to show your room key, so you feel secure. All the rooms are on the 21st Floor and above. If like us you are a group, we booked 3 rooms all on the same booking . We were on the 23rd floor, My parents on the 26th and my grandma on the 31st!!!!. I would of though disabled room would be the lowest floor in case of an emergency, but what do i know about hotel designs. Location:- We arrived in New york at penn station which is diagonally opposite this hotel, so we walked over to it took no more than 5 minutes even with all our luggage and the wheelchair. 1 block from here is macy and all the shops. Opposite the hotel is a 24hr mc donalds , TGI fridays and a 24hr drug store/ supermarket. Really nice irish bar (exit hotel and turn right) about 1 block down, first one you come too. Great food, pleasent staff, reasonable prices. Due to the wheelchair we mainly got cabs to the attractions, from the hotel down to battery park in monday morning rush hour only cost us $17 dollars. This is a really nice hotel, and i would recommend it.
Affordable, well-placed and clean, but nothing special
from LinMcK76
Room was clean and bigger than we had expected. Certainly enough space for 2 people. Nicely decorated but not striking. Bed very comfortable with nice pillows. Bathroom a little small but adequate. Room on 29th floor with views across to the Hudson, but not much else. Large TV with good range of channels. No coffee/tea making facilities but coffee available in lobby. Reception staff generally pleasant but not especially smiley or fast. Hotel 5 minutes on foot from Macy's, 10-15 minutes from Empire State Building, 10-15 minutes from Times Square. Very good access to Penn Station (for train to Newark Airport) and subway. Diner next door is overpriced, go to the Andrews Diner next to the Loews cinema on 34th St instead. Overall, this hotel provides a good place to rest your head at the end of a long day, but isn't anything special.

Me and my family went to New York on a tour of America. My Uncle had to change his room because it was so filthy and stinky! I can't even call it a hotel. The air conditioning is so noisy & the rooms were so cramped. on the other hand the food was lovely and the location... more
