    Small complaint, it was hard to find due to signage.

    Exceptional location inside Times Square for theatre lovers. Walking distance to each show that I had tickets for, plus on site food that was delicious.

    Not much! Shout out to Daniel, the waiter and all around bar/restaurant guru.

    Bar and restaurant well staffed with a good menu and well served drinks. Bathrooms were handsomely decorated and very efficiently designed. Beds were comfortable. Elevator managed to keep up with guest demand Event room could be rearranged to be more guest-friendly..i.e. a sofa or 2. There is a photo in a promotional piece which shows the space as more a lounge than a bar/event space.

    There’s a $25 breakfast fee added to each of the night stay. We don’t eat breakfast so this was $100 waisted

    The hotel staff is lovely, the room is very clean, excellent bed and all the fixtures. Small in size, but very comfortable. The price is high, but since we wanted to be next to Broadway we decided it was worth it.

    We visited with our 18 year old daughter and unfortunately the sofa bed she slept on was really uncomfortable and hard. When I mentioned to the lovely lady at reception she arranged for a topper or duvet (not sure which) to be added for her to sleep on but sadly it didnt help very much - that is the only reason I took a point off my score as this really is a great place to stay

    Great location, immaculate, stylish rooms, powerful shower with tonnes of hot water, super friendly, helpful staff, would certainly recommend and return

    Not having a Kettle in the bedroom, but Shona the manager did say I could have a kettle but did not bother as we were nearly at the end of our stay.

    The full Irish breakfast was great and filled you up way past lunch time. I ate the risotto with scallops which was excellent. and great value. It was lovely to go down stairs first thing in the morning and bring a pot of tea back to the bedroom. The location was amazing, next to Time Square, which was bustling with people but when you got back to the hotel you could not hear anything from outside. Shona the manager has a wealth of knowledge about New York. The staff were all kind and friendly and the maids were FAB.

    Our room was too small for the size of the bed, the base sticks out too far. The bed was comfortable!

    The location is excellent it’s right there in Times Square, within walking distance to everything. The food is excellent, especially the Irish breakfast!

    The location was in the heart of everything. The staff were very helpful and friendly - we felt like we were welcomed home each evening. We loved the Irish flavor of the hotel. Very homey and quaint. The breakfasts were very good with a good variety. All needs were met quickly and pleasantly. While the rooms were on the small side, they were uniquely decorated, which we like. Not your cookie cutter hotel!

    Too expensive compared to other 4-star hotels. The location is not so worth it. Other neighborhoods are nicer, more lively, and more convenient to visit the whole Manhattan. The staff at the reception were grumpy and hasty. We stayed 6 nights and there was no housekeeping except for making the bed. I would have appreciated cleaning the bathroom at least at half-stay. There is no wardrobe, just a small coat rack.

    Lovely place and decor. Nice food, although quite pricey (6 dollars for a small latte is almost outrageous). The staff at the restaurant is very welcoming (quite the opposite at the reception). Small room but comfortable. Nice toiletries.

    That we had to come home!!!

    This is an exceptional find in such a busy part of Times Square where you can relax away from the bright lights and just reflect on all the fun of the day in the ambience of the hotel bar and the boutique rooms. This was just what we needed after a full on day of sightseeing and walking our socks off! The staff are so attentive ,full of great local knowledge and make you feel so welcome! Dickson gives the best hugs, makes the best drinks! Shona, Demi, Paul and all the team thank you for making this the best trip to New York we will dedicatedly come back!! Thanks Liz and Izzy

    We had a 8mo and we asked for a crib (which we got) but it was pulling a little of cold air through the floor so she had to sleep with us.

    I loved that it was clean, safe, pretty quiet. The staff was very welcoming and diligent in making sure we have best experience. They showed care and extra support throughout our stay.

    The shower hardware literally fell off the wall when I touched it , and I was unable to get water out of it. But we were only 1 night, so I didn’t report it because it really didn’t matter to us, for 1 night. And sink is very slow to drain. Again, literally just there to sleep.

    Staff very friendly and accommodating! Food excellent. Love the garden room setting for breakfast.
