We were guarentted a "renovated" room, and were charged accordingly, we paid more and booked through a concierge service. We called down upon check-in , as there was no way this could be a renovated room, they assured us it was...... Beds were as hard as a rock, bathroom was rundown and very small, the ice machine was not working,... More

This is not a place for the 'beautiful people', and I'm glad. It's not a modern, high-efficiency, sleek and stylish hotel. It is a classic beauty, with a few quirks and blemishes. But, it is WONDERFUL. Times Square for $150 is incomprehensible, but here it's reality. Our room is HUGE, clean, and beautiful. View of 47th st, with the Barrymore... More

We had last year a superior room which we found satisfactory. Near by is Times Square, the music-house Birdland, restaurant Row, and the hotel has a breakfast restaurant with reasonable menue. We have stayed there many times, and have found it price-worth with everything just close by

Stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights in May 2012. The hotel itself has an "art deco" styled lobby area with cafe off the main entrance. The reception staff, porters etc were all courteous and helpful as were the staff in the cafe where we had breakfast. There is also a deli next door with seating upstairs. Our... More

The Edison is in a great location right by Times Square. A little bit tired and basic. Also quite noisy due to passing traffic and drone of the air conditioning units on the office block opposite - not loud but a persistent hum. Take ear plugs.

The Hotel is well located but the service in general is not good. The attendants were not polite enough with us. We had a problem with the room shower that was not solved while we were hosted there. The room we stayed didn't have a mini-bar or a mini refrigerator.

The Department Managers have been contacted and will look into those particulars so that we may better serve you during your future stay. We... More

It's what you'd expect from a midtown hotel as far as amenities go (not a lot), but while small and non descript, the room was clean and satisfactory with no complaints from us. The hotel has a location that's going to be hard to beat. If you want to be in the middle of it all not a far walk... More
