Stayed there two nights over Memorial Day. We mentioned it was our 40th wedding anniversary and they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a suite. The staff is super attentive. The rooms are comfortable and nicely decorated. It is a quite hotel with a nice relaxing and quiet lobby. The breakfast is great as is the wine and cheese bar... More

I've stayed in many hotels in Manhattan. Hotel Giraffe is up there with the best of them, but at a fraction of the cost. Staff are polite and friendly, the room was bigger than expected for the City and in excellent condition. Free wifi worked great and breakfast was refreshingly simple and fresh. For a business traveller like me, they... More

I have traveled regularly to NYC for several decades at all budgets. It is frustrating to try to find a place that is quiet, comfortable, spotless, with a great staff, updated and efficient for less than the cost of my monthly house payment. I think the Giraffe delivers on all of these. Too many well known hotels are simply noisy,... More

Ideally located,nice rooms and a roof terrace,perfect for smokers like ourselves The staff is very friendly,cozy atmosphere, breakfast served in the lobby, felt like a little bit being home far away.the only thing that could be improved are toilets in the lobby since you have to use your own bathroom in your room.Would certainly consider to come back here

Everything about this hotel is top quality. The room was clean and neat and nicely arranged. Continental breakfast was included and it was very good. There was a wine and cheese reception every night with several wines and cheeses, fruits and vegetables. Coffee and cookies were available all day in the lobby. The staff were very friendly and greeted us... More

I booked this hotel based on the reviews that others had posted here and I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly and professional from the moment that we checked in and we were immediately made to feel very welcome. Unlike the big hotels, this hotel provided excellent amenities of considerable value-free wifi, delicious breakfast, a wine and cheese reception... More

We stayed at the Hotel Giraffe from May 14-19, 2012 (five nights). We were a family of nine, there to attend a graduation, so we had several rooms. I can't say enough about the wonderful staff and services. A great breakfast in the morning to get you fortified for your long day of walking New York. An awesome cheese and... More

This hotel ticked every box for us. Friendly, helpful staff. Quiet. Clean. Elegant but chic decor - lots of muted colors, dark wood, granite. (The only thing that didn't make sense was the glass panel on the bathroom door. It's frosted, but still awkward if you bring guests up for a drink. This is not an enormous problem, but something...

We really enjoyed our 10 day stay. the continental breakfast was excellent and the wine and chees during the week was much appreciated. It is quite a small hotel but our suite was quite spacious. The reception staff were helpful as well - though this did vary according to who was on duty.
