“Unique”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

A pretty unique, or at least different hotel by Marriott Standards, in a very central location in mid town Manhattan. Walking distance to times square, madison av and 5th av, but not on a super busy street itself which is nice. Recently redecorated by Marriott and now marketed as an Autograph Collection hotel. Its certainly no ordinary Marriott hotel, this is boutique style, good small cozy restaurant, trendy and cool bar and very personal well decorated rooms with a very engaging service.

General standard of the hotel - very good to excellent
Standard of the rooms - excellent (although quite small rooms)
Lobby - small but cozy and good for meeting colleagues / friends
Restaurant - small, cozy, good food and good service
Gym - excellent
Service - very good to excellent (especially the servicing of the rooms was top notch. Seems they have a separate lady taking care of each floor)

So, in conclusion, I would absolutely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a smaller, boutique style, high end hotel in midtown. Probably more a hotel for a weekend away with your partner or for business (at least the rooms I have seen are probably not for a trip with the kids). This hotel is in direct competition with The Chatwal (Starwood) which is also nearby.

“very nice boutique hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

The Algnquin is well located - Times Square in 3 minutes; Rockefeller Center and Radio City Musical Hall within 5 minutes. The rooms are small and there are not great views from the room, but we were away from the crowds on Broadway while still being close enough. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We stayed there over Thanksgiving week and even though they were very busy, they always took time for our questions. There is a perfectly fine diner right next store for a very reasonable and good breakfast.

“Charming boutique hotel in great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Stayed in a suite with hubby & kids which was roomy. The decor was a mix of hip, contemporary & old world charm. The location was fantastic - within walking distance to Times Square & Rockefeller center. We were surprised at how quiet it was, considering the hotel is bordered by streets. Only downside to the room is no view, probably due to its lack of height. Room service value was ok - have had better at other NYC hotels.

We had a terrific short getaway in NYC to which the Algonquin definitely contributed!

“Great historic hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

The Algonquin Hotel is a wonderful, historic hotel close to everything but very quiet.

My daughter (age 19) & I stayed for a weekend (2nights) of Broadway shows. Being very familiar with Manhattan, we did not want to stay in Times Square -- too crowded, too noisy! We chose the Algonquin for its reputation and location -- on 44th Street about two blocks from Times Square, but in another world crowd and noise-wise.

Yes, the rooms are small, but that adds to the hotel's charm. It IS an historic hotel, built in 1902 -- rooms were much smaller then. We were really only there to sleep and shower and breakfast.

Our room and bathroom were spotless and the room service quick and courteous.

We would definitely stay at the Algonqun again and recommend it wholeheartedly!
