    My husband and I had a wonderful experience at The Knickerbocker. It was our first time, but it won’t be our last. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We got upgraded to a suite which was great. Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Despite being near such a busy part of the city, our room was very quiet. The location was perfect for us as we were there to have a nice dinner and see a show. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend staying here!

    Amazing Valentines Day weekend!

    The one thing I didn’t love about the property were the rooms themselves. We couldn’t turn the a/c on and the coldest it would go down to was 65 which it felt much warmer. The rooms had no decorations, very contemporary and minimalistic but almost hospital like. Would love to see a little more personality in the rooms. Very beige and quiet.

    The property was in the best area, right across the street from time square. Around the corner was joes pizza. Right by the subway entrance on 42nd. Staff was incredibly accommodating. Everytime we left we came back to a clean room with clean towels. Room service was fast. I thought I lost my wallet and security was able to check our room when we were out on the town and found it! Room was very clean and quiet, never heard any outside noise. My plane also had several lay overs and they allowed me to stay several hours past checkout! We stayed over Valentine’s Day weekend, and it was an amazing stay! You definitely are paying for the location :)

    No View from our room. We booked two rooms and our view was a wall.

    The location of this hotel is excellent. You are so near Time Square but you would never know because it is so quiet. Good size room and very comfortable beds. The only downside on our trip was that the roof top bar was closed. I will be returning to the Knickerbocker hote on my next visit to New York.

    Cleanliness of aspects of the room. The general room cleanliness was great. However items like the drapes had a lot of dust on them. This shouldn't wait on customers to raise and instead should form part of scheduled deep cleans.

    The staff and the location were exceptional. Right in the heart of Time Square. Was definitly a great location for a first timer to NYC

    Couple of things can be approved - rooms a very spacious yet there is no desk to work on. Many people travel to NYC for work and midtown is where we have meetings so the hotel is perfect work business travelers yet no desk to work on in the room? TV does not have a netflix option (unlike most hotels these days)so its use is limited.

    It is beautifully renovated and comfortable inside. The rooms are super spacious, unusually so for NYC, It is completely quiet which is crazy on Time sq. Breakfast is fantastic as well.

    Puts a reviewer in a quandary because though the stay was fantastic, it markets itself as a 5 star luxury hotel and in many ways it is tired. It is a real shame too that the old historic hotel has been completely replastered and re-fitted, you have no idea you are in such a historic place. That said because of the location the hotel obviously gets HAMMERED by tourists and though being a bit tired as a result, it does all the basics very well and the staff clearly enjoy working there which is a huge plus

    Amazing bed, great staff and services, very comfortable and easy to access, incredibly convenient location

    Room was close to the elevators and you could hear the hydraulics. Needs better soundproofing. Would have loved a Times Square view instead of brick wall but hey.
