Top Historic Downtown Hotel Reviews

New York Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. Great restaurants and bar in hotel. "

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly and helpful staff, Rum house was fabulous, other restaurant options on premises really good too! Great location in walking proximity to many key attractions but also tucked away from the hustle and bustle if looking for some quiet downtime. Rooms and bathrooms are smaller than what we were use too but I feel like most of NY hotels are. "

DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel’s location is very good! There is a pharmacy near it and there are lots of good restaurants around. And it’s also very quiet in the area it’s just that there are only three elevators that serve the whole 44(?)-storey building so it’s quite slow at some time going up and down. Also the rooms don’t have much soundproofing but nevertheless, the stay was good and will still definitely choose to stay here again."
