The Warwick New York garners praise for its cleanliness, with numerous travelers commending the housekeeping staff for pristine conditions. Guests have called out the hotel's central location as a highlight, offering easy access to NYC's parks and attractions. However, some guests experience disturbances from loud air conditioners and street noise.
The service receives mixed reviews, oscillating between friendly professionalism and slow responses. Visitors appreciate the amenities but note minor drawbacks like small elevators and additional charges that, along with other unexpected fees, lead to a diminished sense of value.

We've stayed at the Warwick a few times around Christmas. Here are the pros and cons of this hotel.
Pros: Great location, centrally located, near theaters, restaurants, Central Park, Rock Center; courteous housekeeping staff; clean and quiet; very roomy suites; efficient valet service.Â
Cons: The shower drains poorly. After a quick shower there was at least four inches of standing water. There was no soap in our bathroom, just shower gel. When rooms aren't ready ahead of the 3 pm check in, the staff tries to 'upsell': saying they'll make the room ready sooner for an additional $100. Last year, you could get checked in when the room was ready, which could be as early as 1 or 2 pm. Making everyone wait until 3 pm results in much crowding the lobby, which is small, with not much seating. At 3 pm, everyone rushes to the desk and there's a long line. Seems that this could be managed better. Also, they charge $2 per bag to hold your bags if the room's not ready. We've never seen that at other hotels we've stayed in.
So while we like the location and convenience of the hotel, and the cons aren't terrible, they do affect one's perception of the hotel as being welcoming and high-quality.

The location is excellent, the accommodation is comfortable, soft sheets, very good mattress, the rooms are of different sizes according to your needs, we went as a family and had different accommodations, the staff were always attentive. We arrived before check-in time and to leave our bags in the reserved room, we paid a small fee per bag. We've been to the hotel other times and really liked it.

The Warwick Hotel is in a great location to walk to all of NYC's hot spots - Times Square, the 9/11 Memorial, the Financial District, Rockefeller Plaza, Brooklyn Bridge, etc. The hotel is beautiful and holds so much history!! The staff was amazing and the room was very clean and so pretty!! We stayed in a Premier One Bedroom Suite with a City View and two double beds and we had a rollaway bed added. The room was so spacious and we even saw a movie filmed right outside our window. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the NYC area!

The atmosphere and staff were very stuffy, cold and unfriendly. A lightbulb was out in my bathroom. I alerted the front desk 3 times and it wasn't until the next day. I went to the restaurant for breakfast. There were only about 3 groups of people sitting in there, so the restaurant was mostly empty. The host greeted me but said she would be right back. She proceeded to go to 2 of the tables and pour water for them before coming back to get me. When she did, she walked me halfway into the dining room and then told me I could choose to sit anywhere I wanted. Couldn't she have done that from the beginning, rather than making me stand there and wait? She handed me the menu. I selected what I wanted, closed my menu, and put it down on the table, clearly signaling I was ready to order. Several waiters walked right past me, ignoring me. Finally, one stopped and asked if I'd been helped. I said, "Not yet," and he took my order. My food came and no one ever checked back to see if I needed anything else. When I checked out, the doorman looked right at me through the revolving doors, watched me struggle to carry my suitcase up the stairs, and never offered to help. I will mention that I am a Black woman. You decide for yourself whether that had anything to do with the way I was treated. The only person who was genuinely nice to me was the man cleaning the 14th floor where I was staying (who was Black). He should be commended. I will never stay at this hotel again.

I liked the Warwick hotel based on its location, especially during the holiday season but probably will choose another hotel next trip to the city. This is because they charge you for everything. $2 per bag to store your luggage while we waited for our room to be ready(we were only a half hour early). Another $2 per luggage to hold our luggage for a couple extra hours after we checked out. They have no gift shop so you need to run down the block to get any snacks or essentials. Also, I asked for a bottle of water and the front desk explained they didn’t have any but why not have a water station then? The bathroom was very outdated and could use some tlc. The bed was comfortable and the room was average size. After all the additional fees, taxes and valet, I’m not sure it’s worth $600 a night.

Dear Gia M, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your recent stay at the Warwick. We're glad to hear that you appreciated the hotel’s location, especially during the festive holiday season. It’s also great to know that you found the bed comfortable—a good night’s sleep is so important while traveling. We’re sorry to hear, however, that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. Additional charges like the luggage storage fees and the absence of amenities like a gift shop or a water station can understandably feel frustrating, especially when they impact the overall value of your stay. We do constantly review our policies to make sure they align to benefit our guests. We hope to see you back in the near future. Regards,

Stayed at the Warwick for 6 nights with my partner & 2 children aged 13 & 10. We had read the reviews before booking so joined the Warwick journeys program & booked directly with the hotel as the rate was quite a bit cheaper than on other booking sites. Being members also meant that we didn’t pay any resort fees and got free WiFi (essential with 2 kids!!). The hotel was in an ideal location for us, 12 minute walk to Times Square, only a few blocks from Central Park & only a few minutes from the subway. We booked a premier city view room which looked out onto 6th Ave, 2 queen sized beds & the room was spacious & clean. Had a hairdryer, safe, coffee machine, iron & ironing board, walk in wardrobe, fridge. The air con kept the room lovely & cool. It was cleaned every day. The lifts could be slow but it didn’t bother us. The staff on reception were friendly, and we were able to leave our bags after check out for only $2 per bag. All in all a great stay. We’ll definitely recommend the hotel & will stay again when we come back to New York!

I had high hopes for this hotel. It is a great location and conveniently located near my New York offices. My corporate travel service offered me quite a few hotel options to choose from, but I chose the Warwick after being told they could fulfill my request for a room on a high floor. When I arrived at the hotel, I was told the only available rooms were on the fourth and fifth floors. I asked to speak to a manager who was apparently not available. After waiting more than 10 minutes at the front desk, only to be told there were no other options, they finally said they could give me a room on the 27th floor, but a suite for $200 more a night (a room that would most likely remain empty). I was pressed for time so I had to take it hoping to eventually speak with the manager and work it out…if not a room change perhaps a discounted rate on the suite. I was never contacted by the manager and was told by the hotel that they could do nothing to rectify the situation. It’s evident that customer satisfaction isn’t really a priority. As others have said, it is an older hotel and rooms are dated and that’s fine but it’s a problem when you think you’re charging your computer all day and realize the outlets don’t work and your battery is dead. I wish I could say that this was a better experience as I was hoping to return for my future business travels but sadly, this was not the case.

I’ll be sure to address your concerns with our staff to ensure better communication and responsiveness in the future.

The Warwick provided a very comfortable room in a great location. The hotel is close to a lot of the main attractions of New York, roughly a 10 minute stroll from Central Park, Rockerfeller Center, Times Square and Radio City. The hotel is close to many subway entrances to provide fast and efficient transport around New York, including to and from JFK. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel does offer luggage storage after check-out for $2 per item and umbrellas for guest use if required. There are taxis located just outside the hotel and can be arranged by the doorman with no prior booking required. The room was quite small, but the bed was very comfortable. There was an iron, storage safe, hairdryer, toiletries and a coffee machine provided within the room. One really useful feature of the room, for overseas travellers in particular is an alarm clock beside the bed that include two USB facilities for charging as well as two sockets. The bathroom is a little dated, at least in this room. Minor, if anything, but some sockets within the room were loose on the wall making one socket unusable and the others a little awkward. There were sockets that were also fine so this didn't cause any major issue. Overall, an excellent stay!

I travelled to New York from Australia for my Birthday. I mentioned this to the Cabin Crew on Qantas, who presented me with a bottle of Champagne to drink on my Birthday in 2 days time. Upon arriving at The Warwick I asked if there was a fridge in the room for my Champagne. The Receptionist explained, No, there wasn't a fridge, but I could hire a small Bar fridge from them. On relaying the Qantas Birthday present story to him, he waved the fee as a Birthday gesture from the hotel. The hotel is historic, elegant, comfortable & in the most fabulous location. Times Square, Central Park, 42nd Street, 5th Avenue are all minutes away. The Randolph Bar off the Lobby is elegant & full of Business Execs relaxing after work. My room was large & looked onto 6th Avenue, for people watching. After a day out on my Birthday I returned to find a plate of ( delicious ) cookies & a hand written Birthday card from the Management. All staff were lovely & the service throughout, excellent. Concierge even got me front row Balcony seats for a show, later in the week. For movie buffs, the incredibly elegant actor Carey Grant, used to live at the Warwick during his heyday. I can't wait for my next visit to N.Y & The Warwick!! Xx

The hotel itself is lovely, service is another matter. We arrived from Australia at 8am after flying for 24 hours. We were extremely tired and no one could get into their rooms until 3pm, apparently no rooms are ready until 3pm even though checkout for previous guests is 11am.
We had 7 hours to kill, we were so exhausted after travelling that around 2.45pm I had had enough waiting, I said I was ready to collapse on the floor by the counter if we didn’t get our room, all of a sudden our room was ready! the foyer and mezzanine upstairs was full of people with only seating for 10 in mezzanine and the same in the foyer. It is ridiculous that a hotel runs this way, all of a sudden there is a mad rush at 3pm with everyone wanting to get their rooms. There should be a water cooler there for guests to get a drink while waiting, it was a very hot day.
We asked 3 times for an extra pillow are there are only 3 on a king sized bed but they were not forthcoming. Perhaps they need more staff to get rooms ready earlier.
