“Warm, Helpful Staff; Tiny, Tired Rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 18, 2013 NEW via mobile

Disappointed. The rooms have only one little chair, there's not even a desk, but a shelf; not nearly enough closet space and one tiny glass shelf in the bathroom. And they're tiny even by New York standards. What's great is that the staff is terrific: helpful, accommodating and friendly. There's also free wifi and they do not charge for use... More

“I will stay here again. (And again... : )”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2013

Finding a decent hotel at a fair price isn't easy in NY but I'm thrilled to have found the Mayfair. In reading the past reviews I knew that the rooms would be small and they're fine. What's important is that this was the cleanest NY hotel in this price range with a friendly staff and a great location in the... More

“Tiny but affordable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 11, 2013 via mobile

We stayed at the Mayfair for 2 nights in June 2013. The room was reasonably priced and the location is convenient for exploring midtown Manhattan. However, the rooms were incredibly small. We didn't stay in our room that much anyways, so it wasn't too big of a deal.

“LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 3, 2013

Mayfair Hotel is just a tiny little hotel squished next to Eugene O'Neil theatre. At first glance, you may miss it. Upon entering, you might worry, for as an older hotel, it is a bit run-down as far as carpeting, etc. However - if you are looking for an affordable hotel in NYC (almost impossible) that has super CLEAN rooms,...

“Really small rooms and elevator”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2013

The location is everything about this hotel. The room was clean but incredibly small and it looked like old, you don't even have a place to put your suitcase. The bathroom had a good size. Staff was mostly friendly, although not letting us in a little bit before the check in time when we were really tired from the trip... More

“Perfect hotel on a budget”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013

I stayed at the Mayfair Hotel from April 18th-April 22nd 2013 with my boyfriend and it was perfect for us. I’ve been to New York quite a few times and stayed every place from the Hilton in Time Square to the YMCA Hostel in Midtown. This was a perfect cheap option that still puts you in the center of everything.... More

“Can't beat the location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2013

I went to NYC with my son to see some shows on Broadway before he headed off to college. We couldn't have asked for a better location. I got a good price, so to me the location was worth it all, but the rooms were tiny. Only one bed in a tiny room so he had to sleep in the... More
