Bryant Park Hotel

This hotel is mostly great in its convenient location, the famous Bryant Park and New York Public Library are just across from the road (if you are a Sex & City fan you know Carrie and Big had their wedding there lol), walking distance to time square and empire building, not to mention you also have Blue Bottle (nice popular world coffee brand), Zacker's (bagel restaurant), OLE & Le Petit Quo (2 very lovely light green dining offer brunch for jet-lag travelers), Citi Bank (ATM), CVS, Target etc super nearby; I would recommend for sure if you are coming to NYC first time like me - cuz you are gonna head to both uptown and down of Manhattan for lots must-check spots, all the way from the MET to Wall Street - or West Village to East as well, so a cozy, clean, convenient and fine hotel with tasteful decor, nice bed & metro/bus station just downstairs in mid town like this is exactly what you ll need. The employees are friendly and efficient, room has fully-supplied mini bar and fridge, comfy slippers and bath robes, molt brown products and heater in bathroom, no coffee machine/kettle but has free coffee/hot tea & muffin at lobby every morning from 7am - 10am; the hotel itself got 2 restaurants i recall, though not providing all-round breakfast yet you have too many other options outside. Do not miss the Winter Village market in Bryant Park - special winter food booth and exclusive souvenirs, enjoy the vibes and explore this fun neighborhood!

The location was excellent, both for travel to/from JFK airport (Long Island Rail Road) coming into Grand Central station and the subway for exploring Manhattan. Also the hotel very close to Times Square and Broadway shows, and plenty of restaurant options around. Whilst the room wasn't large, it was more than adequate for our stay and didn't feel cramped, and had a large bathroom (with both bath and shower). Bed was very comfortable, and room had large TV. Wardrobe space was limited, but adequate for a 4 night stay. Overall we'd stay again, and would recommend to anyone coming to NY for the first time.

Our stay was fabulous. The front desk staff was warm and friendly, answered our questions expertly and efficiently, and even upgraded our room at no extra cost (thank you!). We were given a room directly across from the fitness center, but we didn't hear a thing from the gym, and since we weren't on the street side, the room was very quiet. It was also huge, beautifully decorated, and very well-appointed, with lovely toiletries, a comfy bed, and great lighting. The location was perfect--we could easily walk to the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and a show near Times Square, without being right in the madness of those areas. Bryant Park was fun to explore, and the street the hotel is on has excellent bakeries. I will gladly stay at this hotel again!

+ A great central location and good amenities at the hotel. + The room was big, nice and clean. + Staff were very welcoming and helpful. + It was also nice to have free tea, coffee and muffins in the lobby every morning. + The guest access to 24/7 gym was a bonus.

The room was extremely comfortable, spacious, and nicely appointed. The staff was exceptional-friendly, helpful, professional, and vet accommodating. The location is ideal. We enjoyed looking out over Bryant Park! We also enjoyed drinks at Celon, and dinner and breakfast at Koi. A Wonderful Stay all around!
