Hotel Scherman

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful stay here for 4 nights with husband and daughter. We had a ‘two doubles’ room, which had lovely comfortable beds and little kitchenette with full size fridge. We enjoyed a lovely complimentary breakfast each morning with fruit, pastries, bagels, yogurt and granola. On an evening we went up to the rooftop terrace with a bottle of wine and enjoyed the amazing views and sounds of the city - and the location is excellent, couple blocks from Time square but didn’t feel noisy or busy. We...

A modern hotel room with a large TV mounted on a wooden wall, a desk with a laptop, a chair, and a bed with a view of historic buildings through large windows.

Carnegie Hotel

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

We truly dropped lucky when we booked The Carnegie Hotel, our first time in New York. On arrival we were greeted in a very friendly reception by Elijah and then by Alexandra who was a pleasure to chat to every day discussing all our adventures. The afternoon wine was always fun and the complimentary tea, coffee and snacks were a nice touch. The location is spot on. Central Park is less than 2 minutes walk, the subway is on the corner and Times Square is barely a 10 minute walk. We will be...

Hyatt Centric Times Square New York

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Stones throw from Times Sq so perfect for a four day theatre visit. Had a 44th floor Deluxe King room, facing south, with a partial view of Times Sq. Huge windows made it bright all day, but there are effective blackout blinds at night and there’s virtually no noise. Pretty spacious for one, spotlessly clean, and the fridge for supplies rather than annoying mini bar gets a thumbs up from me. Nice big bathroom with good strong shower pressure, and - miracle of miracles - the aircon is simple to...

A cozy cafe with brick walls, red chairs, and a wooden bench.

The Pearl New York

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. A special mention goes to James, the manager, who was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The hotel is also in a great location for Times Square, making it easy to explore the city and all the main attractions. It was also great to be able to help ourselves to coffee and snacks throughout the day, which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Breakfast did get quite busy around 9:00 am, and the food options...

A lobby with a modern chandelier, seating area, and large windows.

Park Terrace Hotel

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

It’s not often that I give reviews on the numerous hotels I stay in/have stayed in but I was compelled to write one for this amazing, wonder and fabulous hotel that ticked all the boxes. My wife and I stayed at The Park Terrace Hotel for three nights this weekend just gone. I can honestly say that this is one of the most friendly, pleasant, clean and convenient hotels I have stayed in. The staff were very professional, courteous, welcoming and helpful the moment we stepped in the door. We were...

A modern hotel room with a bed, a sofa, a TV, and a window with a city view.

LUMA Hotel Times Square

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

If I wrote about just how good this hotel is I'd need a lot more characters and you'd think they were paying me. I've stayed in many hotels, a considerable number having more stars than the Luma, but never have I experienced somewhere I cannot fault in any respect. The room was equipped with absolutely everything you could need (8 power sockets and 16 usb ports, 4 of each on both sides of the bed?!) it was quiet, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom spotless and there was a turndown service...

Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square Central

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

The hotel itself is clean and centrally located for NYC tourism in Times Sq. the staff are great, breakfast included was a good start to each day and the price we got through Expedia was a bargain. Be warned that there is a migrant shelter directly opposite the hotel which can be intimidating as large groups hang around outside - the hotel have a regular security guard and the NYPD are outside the shelter all the time.
