The New Yorker

I stayed here for two nights and wanted to start by highlighting Mohamed at the front desk. He made our check-in process super fast and efficient. He was very kind and welcoming , we definitely need more people like him in hospitality.The room overall was acceptable. I do think it could use a deep cleaning and maybe some upgrades, especially in the bathroom area. I understand that you may want to maintain the hotel’s original concept and style, but a little refresh would make a big difference.That being said, the hotel is very accessible to everything and perfectly located. For my short trip to the city, it worked out great. Overall, I would recommend it.

Don’t stay here. They up charge you a “facility fee” of $50/day for literally nothing. This hotel is old and shows it. The rooms are very small as in there was no floorspace large enough to lay my small suitcase open except the bed. The bathrooms have peeling paint and visible dirt in the corners. Bring flip flops. We travel a lot and I’m pretty flexible, but this was an order of magnitude outside of what was expected for an older hotel. The location is great and convenient, but for the cost you can find better options. Also kind of weird interaction with the guys grabbing taxis. He told the taxi we wanted a “flat rate” to the airport which was more than we paid with tip typically. I asked that the meter be turned on and it was, in fact, cheaper than the “flat rate”. There isn’t a flat rate to LGA. We come to NYC every year and booked this place for a kind of last minute trip. Never again. Seems built for inexperienced tourists who they prey on to scam.

The New Yorker is a rancid and fraudulent hotel that I urgently advise travelers to avoid at all costs. The accommodations are filthy, run-down, and the plywood room doors are too lightweight to feel secure. The dilapidated rooms have peeling pant, soiled light switches, and stained tubs. Aside from the inhospitable conditions, the New Yorker Hotel is conducting a fraud scheme to extort innocent travelers. They charged me a $500 “smoking fee” when I do not own any smoking or vaping paraphernalia. They claim to have “evidence” of smoke in my room during my stay. I Googled and learned this a common tactic gaining traction among unethical, trashy hotels. They fake “evidence” of smoking in the room in order to charge an exorbitant “cleaning fee” and make extra money. This hotel is corrupt and they refused to address my credit card dispute against the fraudulent charge, claiming they have confirmatory evidence of smoke during my stay. I DO NOT SMOKE OR VAPE. They screened my emails and calls when I tried to contact them for a conversation. Either The New Yorker Hotel is purposefully running a fraud scheme, or their smoke “sensors” are completely faulty. Either option is entirely unacceptable and they should be investigated for their casual, predatory practices.

I truly enjoyed our stay at The New Yorker Hotel! This place is an absolute icon - the Art Deco style from the 1920s is simply beautiful. The prices are fair considering the prime location, right in the heart of Manhattan. If you take the subway from the airport, it stops literally in front of the hotel, which is super convenient. I stayed on the 21st floor and had booked a room with a view. The room size was perfectly fine - after all, you're out exploring most of the time, and space in New York is limited anyway. There was even a closet to store our luggage. The bed was very comfortable, and even though the bathroom was a bit worn, it had its own charming, authentic New York character. Everything was spotless - special thanks to the housekeeping team for keeping our room perfectly clean every day! My only small disappointment was that my view faced Madison Square Garden, and another building blocked the direct view of the Empire State Building. But honestly, that didn't diminish my experience at all. If you want to stay right in the middle of the action and sleep in a hotel full of history - don't hesitate, just book it! 100% New York vibes!

This hotel was ok, its nice and a great location, but not even a travel kettle in our room, not sure why they supplied plastic cups in our room. Rooms are clean a little dated but still good. Beds very comfy. The "facilty fee" threw us off guard. €200 for 4 of us. I asked what it is for, so it's for domestic & international calls, which we did not make. Access to the business centre & gym, we did not use. WiFi was used sparingly as we were back at bedtime. It's a horrible, sneaky fee to put on tourists & you have no choice but to pay at the start of your trip. Left us short for our holiday. Also, if you want to leave your luggage after check out, you are charged per bag for that. I strongly advise anyone to do your research before booking to ensure you are not caught off guard with these hidden fees. New York is a great city & I will be back.
