I stayed here one night during market week. The lobby, the bar and the whole atmosphere was great. The room was small but really clean. The bed was very comfortable...they've really maximized the space. My main and only issue is the bathroom. Only a shower which is not that bad but the sink is soooo tiny! Im a 5'3" small frame woman and could barely move my arms when brushing my teeth. I will stay here again but in a room with a larger bathroom.

PS - a million different places to eat around here..try Wine 30, it was amazing!

My partner and I left an Australian summer and stayed here for 14 nights from Dec 26 2012 - Jan 9 2013, during the busy winter New Year period. Upon our very late night arrival Shelley the night manager was the first to greet us, and honestly she should be the face of the hotel!! She made our stay at the King and Grove all the more special and magical. She was always extremely professional, helpful and always greeted you with a smile on a first name basis. She genuinely cared and loves her job. That kind of personalized service you don't get everywhere, let alone in New York. This was my fourth visit to NYC and my partners first. I've only ever stayed in the Theater District and now will definitely come back to this hotel. It is close to everything, and we walked everywhere..to The Freedom tower (Downtown) and also to Central Park (Uptown). The Empire State building is around the corner, the Flatiron Building, Eataly, Madison Square Park two blocks down...great wine bars, 24 hour hairdressers and restaurants just around the corner...I honestly was pleasantly surprised. There are subway entrances close by and Duane Reade around the corner for all your snacks. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable, the bathroom was perfect for a New York hotel and it had the best shower head. The air conditioning worked perfectly for a New York winter and the Crooked Knife bar across the road was a good drinking hole (I highly recommend it). The hotel lobby is very elegant and was always clean. There is free WiFi in the lobby and even though there is no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms, I do know that they will be updating this in 2013. All in all...I have already recommended this hotel to friends and look forward to returning with my partner again...hopefully later this year! To the hotel management...Shelley your night manager should be commended for her exceptional service and representing your hotel with the utmost level of professionalism, knowledge and always with a smile.

We are New Yorkers and had given our apartment to friends from out of town for the holiday week.
We happened upon King and Grove. Booked sight unseen (who cares-one night, right?) When we taxied to the front of the building we were pleased, when we entered the lobby impressed and the room was nice with two sets of windows (and a different view from our own uptown-fun) Very quiet, comfortable-excellent service.
Two thoughts. The sink was tinier than it needed to be for the bathroom-though I guess you need to accomodate big people too..I laughed at myself when rinsing toothpaste - the unexpected dimension made me accidentally spit on the floor twice.
The bar/lobby looks GREAT! I will keep it in mind for when we need a quiet tete a tete. The suggestion here is to dim the chandelier over the large couches. GREAT look and space, but I would never sit there. It looks like interrogation lighting. Beyond that-unflattering! How about candlelight on the table and a dimmer for the chandelier. Generally, really like everything and the other reviews are right. CLOSE to everything. Nice surprise. Thanks!

We stayed for ten nights in New York on our honeymoon and booked the King and Grove hotel based on the good reviews it had received. We stayed in a king room. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean with a modern contemporary feel and was well equipped with a large flat screen telly and on suite bathroom, The bed was really comfortable and the perfect place to retreat after a long day sight seeing. The rest of the hotel had a nice clean and cosy feel to it too and is in a great location.

All the staff were extremely helpful, professional and friendly. Due to the standard of service the hotel provided contributed to a wonderful trip to New York with some great memories.
If we visit New York in the future we would not hesitate in staying there again and would highly recommend to anyone..

Thanks King and Grove...............
