Royalton New York

"Booked the Royalton for the suite with the soaking tub! Did not disappoint. The staff are friendly and helpful, the location is very central, and the room was very spacious. Would definitely return if I'm in NYC again. Notes: limited amenities (no coffee, no bar, no ice, no glasses). Parking at the hippodrome was cheaper than hotel valet. Elevators are tiny (not a big deal, just a note)."

"Recently stayed at the Royalton during a trip to NYC. Room was clean and spacious and the location of the hotel was amazing! Walking distance to Bryant park, Times Square etc. The doorman in particular was lovely , chatty and very helpful. Like many reviews , I agree that for the nightly price it would be great if the bar downstairs was open and/or more in hotel amenities. However, due to amazing location it’s not difficult to find somewhere for a bite and drink."

"This place has a lot of potential, and from what I have read online about the history of the Royalton, it was once a desired hotel to stay in. It is my understanding that COVID-19 had a large impact on the hotel, and it hasn’t been the same since. The first thing I noticed was that, despite the luxurious feel of the hotel and the appealing aesthetics, the hotel felt a bit dead. We never saw anyone coming and going from the elevators and hardly saw anyone out in the lobby. We joked that we were the hotel’s only guests. It was just so odd that there was so much lobby space and so many places to sit, yet there was no bar service as there was in the past. If you are expecting amenities, this is not the hotel for you. Aside from free bottles of water, you are not provided with breakfast, coffee, a microwave, a washer and dryer to clean clothes, or even a vending machine to purchase drinks. You are simply spending your money to sleep in the provided room near Time Square. That’s it. I will say that the rooms are quite large, which was a nice surprise considering we were staying in New York City, close to Time Square. My partner and I specifically chose a room with a fireplace for a more romantic feel, but sadly found out on our arrival that they were not operational. This information should have been provided to us far in advance to our arrival, and we should have been offered a partial refund for this considering we paid extra for it. Overall, the hotel appears clean and spacious. If you are happy with just water during your stay, this may be the hotel for you. Staying so close to Time Square, I know one should not expect much, but even a vending machine would have made a difference during our stay."

"A nice hotel in midtown. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was quite friendly. Neal the doorman was very helpful. The rooms had a strange decor that made me feel like I was staying in the lair of an 80's action movie villain, which I quite liked. The lobby is very beautiful, too bad the bar isn't open."

"I recently had a very good experience here. The location is incredible. It's near some iconic New York landmarks and super close to many transit options. The interior lobby is beautifully designed, cozy, and warm. We also got a very reasonable rate for a room with a terrace(!!). I highly recommend this hotel if you want to be close to all the action in NYC, while still having a relaxing, quiet stay."
