We loved this hotel, great location for us near central park and close to some great restaurants, we found the staff really friendly and when we had a problem with our electrics (they didn't work for a couple of hrs) they were really helpful and offered us an alternative bathroom if we needed it (as it was early in the...

We stayed here over the weekend (husband and 9 year old daughter). It's like walking into your own upscale NYC apartment. The lobby is small but rich-feeling and the staff is amazing. They address you by name and are so helpful. We stayed in a suite, our family members stayed in a regular room, so I've seen both. Extremely clean,... More

This review is a bit overdue, but the Blakely was so great that I want to be sure that I describe the experience. We stayed there over President's weekend on a super deal through SniqueAway. The room was huge by NYC standards. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom is large. We were so comfortable, we almost didn't want... More

An easy 2 blocks north to Central Park! And about 10mins walk to Times Square! Hotel is very clean and our room was nice...cosy. About the same size as the majority of rooms in NYC. Hotel staff were very friendly and organized anything we needed. There are plenty of places to get great food within a close walking distance. Will... More

We loved our stay at the Blakely. We were upgraded to a suite for our 4 night stay. The extra room was a luxury. Noise from street on the 4th floor was fine...we could hear traffic, but it adds to the NYC experience! Bed was super comfy and room extra clean. Really no complaints! Concierge and front desk staff were... More

From check in to check out, a experience to be remembered! It was a pleasure to experience a staff that were not a bunch of "Deer in the Headlight bobble heads!!!" Great Continental breakfast, close the the action, a breath of fresh air!! Not cheap, but hey, nothing is in the "Big Apple!"

Stayed here for four nights, great location with easy access to most tourist attractions. Continental breakfast was great start to the day and we never had to wait for a table for a relatively small restaurant. My only niggle was the noise from outside, the windows were just not good enough at keeping the noise out despite being on 12th... More

We learned about The Blakely from a friend who told us about it, after we gave up locating a good hotel within walking distance of our daughter. We decided to book a room at The Blakely based on reviews and it's location on West 55th St. From the moment we arrived in Ny and went to check in, every staff... More

Got this on booking.com. Small & older hotel but surprisingly enjoyable. Parking was right next door and discount provided. Very small lobby, but staff was extremely helpful and checked you in right away. We saw a small fitness room on 2nd floor. Our room was very clean. Bed comfy. Temperature controls were spot on. Strong shower. Breakfast complimentary in adjoining... More
