I'm not sure if I want to give this hotel 3 or 4 stars, because I have my doubts about the hotel. When I arrived I was given a horrible room, with a bed that on one side was just a few inches from the window and wall, but could just as well been against the window. It was impossible... More

I only hope you have better luck than I did! The hotel is undergoing a floor by floor renovation. I arrived late at night ( about 9:30 pm) and immediately requested a renovated room, but was informed that they were all occupied. I was put into one of the non-renovated rooms, and it was pretty much similar to myself...tired and... More

Loved our stay at the Edison , the Art Deco theme, clean room, and security, were all a feature.Price was ok as you are in Time Sq. Only draw back is that if you get a room facing the street it is noisy,( we were on the 7th floor ) in the recent renovation double glazed windows would have made... More

Such a convenient location, with a 30 second walk to time square and easy walk to a few different subway lines and most of the sights. The room was well cleaned with ample towels provided. Shower either early morning, very late at night or mid afternoon otherwise you're likely to have a cold one. The WiFi is over priced but... More

We had a queen signature room. It was one of their renovated rooms but extremely small. Bathroom was tiny. Apart from that it was spotlessly clean. Very convenient for Times Square. Lovely Art Deco in lobby. Free wifi not only in lobby but also in rooms which is a bonus.

Dear JWhittet, Thank you for the positive comments regarding the cleanliness, service and location of the hotel. We are glad you chose one of the Signature rooms at the Edison. Though the rooms have been completely renovated, the actual blueprint has not changed drastically. Our hotel was built in 1931 when room sizes were more moderate. However the rooms do... More

I've been to NYC 5 times and have stayed at the Edison for every trip. The first thing you need to understand about this hotel is that it's old. It's an old, 1930's art deco hotel. The rooms are small, the decor is kind of outdated (though the lobby is AWESOME), and the bathrooms in the rooms are pretty terrible.... More

My grandson and I attended the opera on May 4, 2013. Since this was his first trip to New York the Edison was perfect. We had a room that was recently remodeled and really gave him the flavor of the city. My friends and I plan a theater week every year and attend as many plays as we can during... More

My husband and I stayed here May 15th & 16th. We have stayed here many times before. The key is to get a "Signature Room." We had not been pleased on another occasion with the room, so this time had a Signature Room and there didn't seem to be much difference in the price. Room was not large, but very... More
