Stayed at the Helmsley for two nights in June of 2008 for a leisure weekend in the city with my spouse. The hotel is a favorite of my in-laws and I wasn't disappointed. We had a quiet corner king room with a nice bay window on an upper floor. Room size was surprisingly good for an NYC hotel. The hotel... more

Just back from a fantastic few days in New York and was very happy with our choice of hotel. We also went with two teenagers (19 and 16) and had a double, double room. The boys did decide that two in a bed was not for them and used the extra bedding to make a bed on the floor which... more

I recently stayed at the NY Helmsley for three nights. I chose to stay there after the reviews I had seen on Trip Advisor. It was a great choice. The room was clean and a good size for NYC. After fellow reviewers suggested PAX nerxt door for breakfast, I did just that. It is a great and cheap place to... more

Worried by reports of nylon sheets and bad service it was great to experience a fantastic welcome at this well located hotel. We emailed a few days before and requested a room with a view and they certainly delivered. We were on the 40th floor (of 41) with sensational views of the Chrsler Building (just 50 yards to the west)... more

Have just returned from trip to Toronto,New York and Niagara. The New York Helmsley was by far the best of the three. The staff were very efficient from the moment we arrived after an exhausting journey by Amtrac from Toronto(not recommended). We were given a choice of room and were not disappointed. Good quality toiletries and bathrobes provided in the... more

Great hotel on a good location. Spacious room with airco. Not too noisy for such a big city. Nice bathroom with bath. Only thing missing was a minibar. There was even a safe and a ironing board and iron. Big nice bed, nice LCD TV. Free internet in the hall, but only one computer. Service was fine and the employees... more

Three friends and I stayed at the New York Helmsley from May 22-May 25. When we arrived we were immediately greeted by a hotel employee who helped us with our bags and parked the car. He was extremely pleasant. Inside we did not have to wait on line to check-in as they were ample employees on hand. Check in was... more

I travel a lot on business, and was sent to a conference at the Helmsley in January 2008. I checked in late. Great, professional service at the front desk. The room was OK. Apparently clean. But noisy. I was probably on the 30th floor or so and I swear I could hear every single thing that happened on the street... more
