This hotel was recommended to me by a trusted friend. I was travelling with 9 friends and was concerned about their comfort. As it turned out, there was no need for concern: the hotel is centrally located, and we were able to walk to many areas in less than 10 minutes. Cabs are readily available, and the ride to most... more

The Blakely Hotel proved an ideal location for a week of music and art in NYC—easy walks to Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera, and tolerable hikes--taxis when it rained hard--to the Metropolitan, Frick, and Guggenheim museums along 5th Avenue; the Museum of Modern Art was only three blocks away. Entering the hotel, one stepped out of Manhattan’s madding crowd... more

My stay at the Blakely was great!! My friend and I had requested a room with two beds, and when we arrived, we had been upgraded to a suite! Nice, large "living room" and big (by NYC standards) bedroom. Having a kitchenette is really a plus. All our requests were attended to quickly and all the staff were friendly and... more

I stayed at the Blakely Hotel with my husband, parents and brother for my 30th birthday. The Service was fast and friendly. We called down to the front desk a couple of times for miscellaneous things and received them in minutes. The location is great, short walk to Carnegie Deli and Times Square. I love boutique hotels as compared to... more

Recent stay at the Blakely was very pleasant. Service was excellent. The room was well appointed and very comfortable bed and quiet room. The room we were given was very small--smaller room than the W but bed and linens were great. Location was very central to Carnegie Hall and easy walking distance to Times Square and Broadway plays, restaurants as... more

While visiting NYC last month with 5 girlfriends, we decided to stay at the Blakely as it offered suites that would comfortably accomodate the 6 of us in just two rooms. We were not disappointed. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom was modern and had a large shower with spa toiletries. The staff was well... more

We were happy to return after our first stay 2 years ago - but asked for a quieter room, higher up at the front. In the event we more than got it! To cut a long story short, the hotel had forgotten to book a car to meet us at the airport and we took a taxi instead. Francisco, the... more

Was expecting something a bit bigger when we booked a 'suite'. We were a group of 4 friends (1 Australian, 1 English, 2 Americans) staying for a little over a week for going to Broadway and some general sightseeing around the big apple. Couldn't fault the location...so close (within walking distance) to Central Park, 5th avenue, Times Square and a... more

I would tell anyone to stay here. It is so nice and so quite for a New York hotel. The staff is great. The food is great. We loved our stay here. This type of hotel should be the standard not the exception. more
