The service at the New Yorker almost outshines the renovations done to the hotel. The pleasantness of our trip began with the person helping us with our reservation over the phone and continued throughout our stay. My wife and I were graciously welcomed at the front desk by Mohammed, who was may be the nicest man in NYC.

Parking: We parked in a garage on 35th street, between 8th and 9th Ave, and received a discount rate because we were staying at the New Yorker.

Rooms: Compared to other hotels outside of NYC, the rooms are tiny, but for the amount of time one stays in the room, the room size is n/a. The rooms and the rest of the hotel has been renovated, so the rooms house new beds and furniture. The bathrooms were always fine. Get a room with a window; ours looked uptown and had a nice breeze.

Location is perfect. Near MSG, theaters, Chelsea

We stayed in the New Yorker from the 29th june - 3rd July 2009.
It was roughly 30 minutes from JFK airport and situated in the heart of all the main attractions (pratically walking distance to everything - depending if you prefer to walk than get taxi's everywhere)
When we got out of the taxi a bell boy carried our cases to the reception desk, where we were greeted by extremely helpful and polite staff.
We even got an upgarde to a city view room, as it was my husbands birthday. We were on the 24th floor and had an amazing view from both windows (madison square garden from one and the empire state building from the other)
The rooms were not particualry huge but lets be fair, who goes to NY to spend all day in the room. It had all the amenities you need in a hotel room: comfortable bed, bathroom, hair dryer in the bathroom, tv, ironing board + iron. It also had free wifi, which came in very handy as we could send and receive emails keeping those huge roaming mobile phone bills down.
Each night we came back to our room after spending very long days in NYC, the cleaning staff had come in and re-made the bed and provided clean fresh towels. We ate in the ticktock diner for breakfast, all i can say is YUMMY and very good value for money.
Checking out was a breeze too, and the bell boy whistled us a taxi to take us back to the airport. Overall we had an amazing stay in NY made even better by this fantastic hotel.

We have just returned from a week in NY staying at The New Yorker hotel. Our room was superb and very large for the 3 of us. It was cleaned daily and we found it a very nice room to return to after a busy and tiring day. The beds were very comfortable too. The staff were always nice to us anytime we spoke to them. The loaction is great. Its very central for all the shops and attractions as well as public transport ie. subways and buses. I would have no problem in recommending this hotel and will definately return there.

My partner and i stayed at this hotel for four days in that time the staff were very welcoming, and ok like others yes the room was a little small, but i enjoyed that, view from the window not so good, but for the price i paid it was well worth it, i would highly recommend this hotel to my friends, and what a brilliant location right in the hart of the city, with every thing you could want, and if not within walking distance, from me this hotel gets 9/10. i will be back to stay there again, thank you The New Yorker Hotel, and the staff at the hotel thank you.
