Neighbourhood: Midtown
This is the iconic New York that so many visitors imagine before they visit—spectacular skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building, iconic public buildings like Grand Central Terminal and the New York Public Library, and the non-stop hustle and bustle of the city streets. Fifth Avenue is a shopper's heaven where you can find every kind of store imaginable, with fashion brands ranging from the affordable to the ultra-fancy. Visit the Rockefeller Center to experience towering Art Deco grandeur, and foodies will love the busy restaurants that stay open late in Koreatown. After dark, Midtown calms down a bit, but at any time of day or night it still feels 100% New York.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Awful from check-in to departure. The bellman are amazing, the front desk is not. Both our rooms were tiny - we are Platinum and paid full room rate. The hall entrance door hits the bed and the one window looks into dirty brick walks. Tiny, dark and ugly at a high rate. Oh joy.

Beautuful hotel. Great location. Friendly staff with beautiful lobby and bar area. Historical hotel with parking directly across the street. Room we were in was small. Clean throughout. Nice bathroom. Only complaint is both my wife and I woke up with lower back aches. Whenever we travel, the quality of the mattress is important. For us, these mattresses were not good for us. Other than that, loved the hotel.

Great location you can walk to lots of fun things. Staff was very friendly and professional
It’s a touch of old New York from the furnishings to the building. The resident cat Hamlet is precious and loves his pets. Our suite was very comfortable bed was exceptionally comfortable. Bellmen were helpful courteous and friendly. We loved it

The bar at this hotel is historic because literary figures met here for years to have fun and to discuss their projects. We came here for very, very expensive cocktails. But it's a lovely room.

I was considering AirBnB for our Xmas Holidays. But this hotel turned out to be exceptional. With good for money values, we stayed for 5 days and 4 nights here. With kids flying in from Texas while my wife and I flew in from outside, this hotel served as the melting pot for us to unwind after flying over 24 hours from tropics. The hotel provided good space closet to store our luggage and made our stay here quite well. The staff were friendly and seemed ready to help while I didn’t explore other features like dining or laundry.
Everything was within walking distance with some kebab vendors just outside the hotel, with subway stations nearby.

Opened in 1902 and renovated in 2012, the Algonquin has had a long-standing reputation of hosting literary movers and shakers almost from the beginning. Located on 44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, it’s close proximity to the Theater District is no wonder that Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, John Barrymore, Tallulah Bankhead and William Faulkner were all regulars here. We liked our room, the staff were all pleasant and helpful and the price is very fair for New York City. Be sure to look for "Hamlet" the House Cat. The Blue Bar and it’s Al Hirschfeld artwork is a good place to grab a drink and the lobby bar and the Round Table have live music on some evenings. Certain places just have a warm and inviting feel, and the Algonquin is one of those. Check out my photos for more details.

The hotel is beautiful with a lot of charm. Room was comfortable and welcoming. We even got to meet Hamlet, the resident cat. Reason for 4 stars was that drink service in the lobby area was nonexistent - very disappointing.

Great location, and I loved this hotel. The shower was unbelievably tiny, but all in all I loved the room. The lights on the headboard were a great idea but did not work. The outlet in the bathroom wasn’t functional, so I had to overlook some stuff. Still, I would stay here again, but give me a room with a bigger shower so I don’t have to wipe water up off the floor because there is no way I couldn’t keep from getting it wet.

We stayed here for three nights for an anniversary. The staff surprised us with a nice surprise sweet when we returned to our room. The hotel experience here recalls a bygone era when personalized, caring service was a hallmark of many hotels. All staff are friendly and go out of their way to not only do their jobs but also to occasionally go above and beyond. Some feared they would lose their special character when Marriott bought them as part of their Autograph group of hotels. Marriott was wise and let them be the Algonquin rather than another homogenized Marriott unit. It ain't cheap but, at least for us, the staff created a great and special three day experience for us.
