“I would stay there again.”
Very happy with Hotel and location.
“Not impressed”
Clean hotel with a convenient access to many NYC attractions but will not recommend to others and will not go back myself since the service was bad. Unfriendly front desk and constant drilling and hammering sound could be heard in my room at past mid night and around 7am. This is not what you would expect from a good priced hotel like this one. Complained but nothing happened and no one ever came back to me. It just makes me so sad when something like this happens....
“Convenient location near Central Station”
We were only in NYC for 38 hours and only had time to sleep at the hotel; however, the time we spent there was delightful. Wonderful, comfortable bed and bedding, large, lush towels, excellent room service and friendly desk and wait staff. We highly recommend the hotel and would most definitely stay there again.
“Good Value // Changes Coming (?)”
Staff advised that the Starwood Group purchased the hotel and would be upgrading and improving facility. Mentioned that it would be rebranded as a "W" Hotel. Building and rooms are okay, but you could tell there has been some deferred maintenance. Place looks tired. Service was great; tub didn't drain and the engineer arrived ten minutes after I called. Location is convenient on 42nd Street to Theater District, access to subway, etc. Price we found on Expedia was great.
“Good option”
...
“I will stay here again!!”
I stayed at the Helmsley Labor day weekend 3 night, great location, staff was very helpful
“Great Midtowne Hotel”
This is our 4th time staying at the Helmsley. I would definately recommend it. The staff is always helpful and courteous.
“Thank you Expedia and The Helmsley - One of my best hotel experiences and affordable!!!!”
The Helmsley was wonderful - the room looked out on 42nd Street with a view of the Chrysler Building! It was clean. comfortable (great bed) and in a perfect location. We walked to Grand Central to catch the subway, to Times Square and to/from Broadway. It's a very safe location (walked to The Helmsley after the play). I would highly recommend staying at The Helmsley for a couple or with a family! I gone on many trips to NYC, and The Helmsley was my best hotel experience!
“Not So Impressive”
I was expecting more from this Helmsley hotel, though there was nothing substantially wrong with it. The lobby was very small and the person who checked me in seemed confused about my reservation. It is convenient to Grand Central and there were two good places for breakfast across the street. Twice the person that cleaned my room rehung my used bath towel. It was a busy place and the doorman did open the door for guests. New York Times were stacked by the elevators two of the four mornings I was there.
“Very Impressed”
I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in May and it was a great experience. The hotel room was very comfortable and large for a NYC hotel. The hotel was spotlessly clean and was in a good location very close to Grand Central Station. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will return.
