This hotel is tiny. We booked a superior queen and without knowing it were upgraded to a Deluxe King. Even that room was ridiculously small. Take a look at the pictures on their website. The photographer has done wonders making it look bigger than it feels. There is not enough room to leave your case open apart from on the... more

After seeing reviews here, we booked for 5 nights. We've stayed in Greenwich, Midtown, now wanted a different feel. Loved the location--1 block to subway--and the boutique-ness of the hotel. We booked petite queen but certain we got a king--fabulous! Bath very nicely appointed as is the entire hotel. Our room faced the street--pros and cons of nice light and... more

We were looking for a hotel that had a cool atmosphere and was reasonably priced and was on the upper East Side. The Franklin seemed to fit all the criteria. Their website wasn't working when I booked, so I called. I specifically asked the man I spoke with if they had valet parking and he said yes, even quoted a... more

My husband, I, and another couple just spent 5 nights at the Franklin. We had a Petit Queen, while the other couple stayed in a King. The Petit Queen is not for large guests: ours was small with a tiny bathroom, a very small box-like cloth hanger (suitcases will crowd the floor), and a wash basin in the room rather... more

Although I tried for countless hours to find something reasonable in Times Square, I'm so glad I didn't, and ran across this gem! It is in the Upper East side, right off the subway line, and it was so refreshing to get out of the hustle and bustle of Times Square each night after a full day of "fighting crowds".... more

I cannot speak highly enough about our stay. The staff was so friendly and accommodating that I felt guilty if I beat them to the elevator door and opened it myself, which didn't happen often! The continental breakfast each morning was great and saved us spending the extra money at a corner Starbucks or deli before starting our day. And... more

If you are even slightly concerned about how small the rooms might be at the Franklin, I suggest you look elsewhere because they are SMALL! But...if that doesn't bother you, everything else about the Franklin is a delight. The staff is outstanding and even though we only stayed for 2 nights, we felt that they knew us, welcoming us when... more

My wife and I just returned from our stay at The Franklin Hotel and found the hotel to be charming, quaint, clean and staffed by friendly and helpful employees. Many others we met on our visit have come back to The Franklin Hotels year after year, and we plan to make our stay there an annual event as well. Our... more

My 16 year old daughter and I just got back from a wonderful trip to New York with her two girlfriends and their Moms. We stayed at the Franklin Hotel in the Upper East Side. We loved this hotel, the small, intimate rooms, the wonderful, helpful staff, the safe, quiet location. The breakfast and the 5:00 wine and cheese were... more
