Where to stay in Midtown West
Midtown West hotels & accommodations

Perfect location for Central Park & Time Square , walking distance to both, right in midtown Manhattan, near all the Broadway shows in the theatre district, the staff were friendly , I got upgraded from a metropolitan suit to a junior suit on the 24th floor, the room was clean and recently updated, great shower, enough room for two or even three people in the room, the...

I would highly recommend the Watson Hotel in NYC, midtown west. We were within walking distance to subway stations and Central park. We traveled around the city via subway to all our points of interest which were in close proximity. The hotel was clean and comfortable with excellent service from all the staff and the concierge was very knowledgeable, friendly and patie...

10+days in Midtown so my daughter could attend a dance Convention @ Sheraton, only 4 minutes to walk there, straight down 7th. I paid $600 less here than their rate, basically needed that for food all week. Staff, especially the bellman were SO helpful, we were always greeted upon entering this beautiful lobby, 3 elevators running & never waited long. Not So at Sherat...

Found Park Central Hotel as the hidden gem of New York. It's central location, nearby Central Park and in the heart of Midtown is very convenient. The hotel is super clean, beautifully decorated from the lobby up to the room. And what I like most with the hotel is they provided the rooms and public area, in lobby, with advance technology that is very convenient for tra...

Stylish, Close to the park and Trump Towers on fifth Avenue . Very convenient to spending time in the lower east and west of the sides without taking the subway or a very cheap taxi ride. It was not convenient for the subway to and from Penn station ---plan on a bit of walking better to take Texie

the bf and i decided to stay an extra night in nyc so we decided to book through through . the staff at sheraton had a difficult time finding our booking at first, as we had booked the previous night and it wasn't showing up in the system. location is key! this hotel literally sits on top of the b,d, and e train. 5th avenue's infamous high-end shopping street is just...

Tick all boxes for a family traveling with two toddlers. Located in the quiet part of Midtown which makes it the ideal hotel to unwind and rest after a long day of sightseeing. We felt very safe even at night, it is a stone throw away from Central Park, many eateries/cafes and shopping places. There is also a 24/7 grocery store around the corner. The bed and pillows ar...

This is a go-to hotel for me when looking for value in NYC. Manhattan hotel prices can be insane, not to mention that many of the hotels are in touristy areas with less character. The Skyline is right in Hell's Kitchen and is almost always reasonable in cost. It's quiet, the staff is professional and efficient, and the area is a little less crazy than midtown, Times...

Exception to the rule here. Only issues we had - Fire alarm went off at 1am on our first night and 3 floors evacuated (thankfully not ours but one floor off) and again at 11pm the second night (false alarm). We had a night cap at the bar and the waiter (table service) seemed he’d rather be anywhere else. Took my wife’s order but presumably didn’t think I needed or want...

We came to New York for the weekend to see some broadway shows. We found the location to be convenient for shopping and the shows. The staff were really excellent, friendly not phony people. The room was as expected, spacious, clean and well appointed. The Park Hyatt met or exceeded our expectations.

The Staff and Manager Roxy always provide the best customer service in NY...… I don't even think about choosing any of the hundreds of hotel in the City. When I arrive at the hotel everything is taken care of no worries about accommodation or where to dine. Roxy and crew make sure we have the best stay at the Cachet Boutique Hotel.... The Hotel has a European look and...

Great and convenient location in midtown walking distance to Broadway shows, Central Park, etc. Lots of dining options around the area from fast food, mid-price to Michelin star dining. I find the hotel a bit expensive though (considering additional facilities fee) for what it is. Don't expect much from the rooms it is just simple and a bit dark but good size. Compare...

Been to NYC a few times, by far the best hotel I've stayed in, albeit the great deal I get. Close to Central Park and Theatre District of Broadway which is where most of my activities were based on, good restaurants all around and the room was great! Best bed I've slept in a hotel for awhile!! Definitely recommended!

I really had a most enjoyable stay at Hilton Garden Inn. The location of this hotel is so very convenient. Not only is it just a couple of minutes walk down to Times Square, it's also near other locations such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa). Watching broadway musicals and plays have never been so convenient. The hotel rooms were spacious and clean. There's a microw...

There is a lot of hyperbole in the description of this hotel on the property's website. Admittedly, the location is excellent - very near almost anything a visitor to NYC wants to see and very convenient to public transportation. The staff was friendly and the hotel was very clean. We reserved two rooms- one for my husband and I and another for our son and his girlfr...

The staff at the ameritania really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We had a few issues during our stay (leaving a phone in a taxi, change of flight) and they really couldn't have done more to make us feel at ease. The location was perfect really central to everything. The rooms are a little on the small side but what can you expect for midtow...

This was my 2nd time staying here with my bf and I left the hotel the same way I left the first time which was WOW! WOW! WOW! The rooms are fabulous, the staff is amazing and the lounge upstairs...forget about it! The manager was super nice and accommodated us. Staying there the 3rd time for sure

I'm afraid my review will make this hostel so popular that it will be impossible to book. What's not to like? The location is fantastic. The rooms were larger than the average hostel, and we had our own bathroom. All for under $200 in the theater district. Unheard of. The front desk staff was very friendly. It was a little difficult to find someone to help us st...

While the rooms could do with a make over, the staff at this hotel were excellent and very friendly. Discounted the room I had didn't have one usb point, not even in the alarm clock. Wallpaper was a little tatty too and when the window blind broke, I thought I'd picked the wrong hotel, but maid organised the blind fixing, and bed was comfortable and shower good too. Th...

I travelled with an 18 year old for her birthday trip to NYC All staff were efficient and pleasant at all times . The concierge was exceptional, a very positive and helpful lady with a cheerful demeanour and a can do attitude which really impressed us . We were given a corner room with a great view of the city, lots of helpful advice and we felt very well attended b...

Great location for our purposes but costly. Not enough lifts and one temperamental. Chaos especially around breakfast area when lift not working. Other guests said this was not an isolated occurrence. Be sure to aske for a room above 5th floor and at front as noisy fans to rear. However good breakfast and nice rooms. Need to supply own bottled water or pay for theirs...

Pros: Best location for first time tourist who wants to explore famous landmarks. Walking distance to many attractions and nyc famous locations. It will save you transportation cost and time to stay in the middle of midtown new york. Walking distance to central park, time square, MoMA, 5th Ave, tour bus pick up point, broadway, radio city. If in the walking mood, you c...

I LOVE AGODA! i was a little worried after i booked with agoda bc i read some bad reviews but i verified my reservation directly with the hotel and sure enough, agoda was not only valid but got me a CRAZY low rate that none of the other sites were able to do. i took a nyc-eloise-style trip with my 2 daughters and stayed at the plaza for 5 nights and 6 days. servic...

The Magnuson was a very good solution to our challenge of how to affordably stay in a central Manhattan location for a whirlwind 4 day visit.

Had a good time at this hotel. I would, in fact, pick this over the Midtown Hilton, which is a much older property two blocks down.
