Top New York Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"We had a high floor room with an exceptional view of Times Square."

Lotte New York Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay with an incredible view of St Patrick’s Cathedral from our upgraded room. Location perfect for us. Staff were so helpful, professional and friendly. Housekeeping were great especially Diana. Highly recommend."

Row Nyc

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was lovely! Would stay again. Great location!"

Hotel St. James

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and updated. The staff was pleasant. The location was very good - a 2 minute walk to Time Square and shops."

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable stay. Although I would appreciate an upgrade to the AC; the equipment was a bit old and it was either very cold or very humid without turning it on."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location is amazing! So close to Times Square and the subway is right next to it."

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at Empire Hotel…Hailey and Adrik were extremely helpful the first night. After that, the front desk staff changed and they seemed rather glum and refused to answer the phone in the late evenings. The rooftop bar was a nice addition to our stay. Rooms were clean and air conditioning was great. Its proximity to Central Park and the subways couldn’t be beat."

Park Lane New York

8/10 Good

"LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION!!!!! I interacted with reception I believe 3 to 4 times and it was very robotic, except for only one experience. Being across from Central Park was a game changer and ultimate New York experience. I read reviews about the elevators and it’s true, for whatever reason they just seem to be very slow, especially in the mornings before 10 AM. We had the AC unit in the room at 68 or 70 and it just never got cold but we were never uncomfortable, but we weren’t as comfortable as we could’ve been. Overall, it was a 4.5 out of five stars."

OYO Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for the price It’s all you need to be in Times Square the staff was so amazing we had a great trip!"
