Of course, being in NYC, the room was smaller than I would have liked.

For us, the location was perfect -- safe, near many good restaurants and other places we wanted to visit. We love the history of the Algonquin, and even though the hotel has been renovated, they have tried to maintain its importance in New York's literary history.

Rooms were small. Not much that can be done, I’m sure. Loved the $45/day credit although didn’t really get to use it and it pales in comparison to cost of a Merlot glass of wine ($24 per glass).

Tha atmosphere is very nice. Breakfast is delicious. The hotel stand out for showing the history of the place, with a classy modern touch. Best of all is the staff, so kind and friendly, special thanks to Jimmy.

Everything about our experience was wonderful. The staff consistently provided impeccable service throughout our stay. Others things we loved are the food, decor and historic elements of the architecture. Our room was clean and very comfortable.

Location and the friendliness

Would have liked to have seen a coffee machine in the room as there is no room service. I left early morning and no coffee was available in the lobby as the macine was broken and the urn would not be filled until after I left. Unfortunately when I got home I noticed on the hotel invoice that I was charged for two nights rather than the one night I stayed. A clerical error I’m sure but still it’s rather inconvenient having to follow up on such a matter.

The history of course. I found the atmosphere to be very warm and cosy.

Did not sleep it was so loud outside. I would’ve appreciated some ear plugs.

I didn’t like that there was no in room dining, the prices for breakfast were outrageous (even for NYC standards. I also thought the room was a bit cramped and while we had a window, it faced a brick wall so there was very little natural light

I liked the history of the hotel. It was clean and beautiful.

We didn’t like the $30 a day debit added to our bill which had to be used as a credit in the hotel - bar or breakfast.

We liked the beautiful lobby with the coffee station, the decor of the hotel and much of the staff were fantastic! Of course we also loved the house cat.

I was very disappointed with the room. It was very small, for the price paid.

The breakfast was fine. The food good. Service excellent. The bar was also very good and welcoming.

We had nice experience at the bar, with light dinner and drinks, but when we ordered a drink after diner and went to sit at a table… we we told no…. “ it’s a different income stream” you can not bring a drink from the bar and sit here;” so we moved to a different area, and were told the same thing, so we moved to the front of the hotel, the noisiest area (we wanted to avoid), but there, we were told they understood our predicament and invited us to sit. After finishing our glass of wine, we got in the elevator to go to our room. Another couple on the elevator had drinks in their hands, and said to us… we were told to rake them to our rooms , this is an idea I think you should work on need to be improved.

convenience to theatre and Grand Central Sration. And small, nice, hotel

The seats/chairs in the dining area. Far too low to eat in comfort

The hotels history. Where its located. Great bar and good food

The website advertises two restaurants which is untrue. There is one long lobby with a bar in the center. It’s basically a lobby with comfortable seating where you can drink and eat. The website also promotes robes (there was one for two people), a library (finally found it on the second floor, but no books or newspapers), 24 hr coffee but the machine broke three times while we were there for nine nights. Also, the king room had the smallest bathroom we have ever had in a hotel. There was about 3 feet maximum of floor space and the corner shower is pathetic for normal sized people so not sure how large people can close the shower door. Water poured out on the floor so we used all the towels everyday! No place to put your personal things. The small bathroom is ok for few nights but not for a long stay.

The location and overall atmosphere were excellent. Loved the resident cat and the Blue Bar. The food and drinks were very good but expensive.

We had some issues with the heating system. But the staff always addressed our needs in a timely manner. Included coming to our room at 2:30 am when the hot air would not turn off and it was it 90 degreees in the room. This issue was rectified within ten minutes of our call to the front dest.

The staff was amazing. Everyone was very friendly and attentive to our requests and questions. The front desk staff were great.

Food prices are twice what they should be. Should have glasses in rooms rather than paper cups. Air conditioning too cold.

Rooms. Ambience. Location. Amenities. Complimentary Espresso at any time. Coziness, personality, and quietness of rooms. Congenial staff. General quality of food. Complimentary bottles of water. Robes. Ability to control room temperature. Food/Beveridge credit for destination fee.

The rooms were dark.

The location was excellent quiet yet very close to Grand central, Bryant Park and Times Square. Edward on the front desk was amazing and was able to arrange 3 separate rooms for our family all on the same floor. It was very quiet for such a central location.
