Location and friendly and intimate atmosphere. I like the daily newspapers being available, the coffee etc. in the am is great as is the wine and cheese in the pm. Very much like a European pension. Two things could possibly be improved but be careful of raising prices too much: The tv channels are very limited. No History channel or Masterpiece Theatre. Also, the software on the lobby computer did not have the most up-to-date version of flash installed. Therefore I could not print a boarding pass for JetBlue. It would be good to have a handy electrical plug on the desk or night-table for re-charging mobile phones... that also function as alarm clocks. there are lamps that have a plug in the base. Plugging phones in across the room on the floor is inconvenient.

Staying at the Franklin reminds me of being in a European city. It has an old world feel but modern luxuries. It is located in a great residential neighborhood that does not have alot of hotel options.

I visit New York fairly frequently, and wanted to find a base that was convenient, clean, comfortable - but with a certain style. I was satisfied on all these counts. As I often stay for some time in NY (two weeks this time, but sometimes longer), I was also concerned about the cost - and was considering renting an apartment, before I found the Franklin our your website. This hotel is not for someone who wants lots of space (yes, my room was small, but this is NY after all), room service and in-house dining. I liked the breakfast arrangements, which were extremely informal (not for those who want their full American breakfast), and enjoyed reading the New York Times with my croissant. The hotel is very well situated for Museum Mile - and getting downtown is very fast on the express subway line. I also appreciate the fact that this hotel is in a real neighbourhood - albeit an upscale one - and not near Times Square, etc.

The property was beautifullly appointed. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The breakfast and wine reception is a very nice touch.

Location and quiet street. Heat was broken and room smelled like mildew. They did take $200 off my bill which I appreciated. I didn't think the $12 service charge a day was fair. It said breakfast included, but you end up paying for it. Rooms are very small and hotel is very small.

I was pleasantly surprised with The Franklin Hotel as I picked it somewhat randomly for a business trip into NYC. It was very cozy, quaint, and had a very strong European feel to it. Would definitely stay again.

The room is too small, and the air condition is not so good. Besides these, other things are good.

Convenient location near museums. Very helpful staff obviously trying to do their best for guests. Pleasant dining room for breakfast. Room was very small with nowhere to put a suitcase except a tiny patch of floor. Plumbing or heating always noisy. Electronics (apparently new) did not work and staff didn't know how to work them; they had to bring me an old phone so I could contact the front desk. I feel that the price, though consonant with hotel prices in Manhattan, is a bit high for a hotel of this type.

Great location. Staff very friendly and helpful. The "petit" room definately that, but cozy and comfortable. Continental breakfast quite adequate. We would certainly recommend this hotel.

Staff service and cleanliness. No free TV service at any level. I was disappointed not to have the regular channels available to watch, such as CNN, CBS, NBC, etc.

Ottima pulizia, staff disponibilissimo. Il secondo giorno abbiamo trovato una perdita d'acqua sulla moquette della stanza e ci hanno cambiato stanza non appena se n'e' liberata una piu' grande, senza aumento di prezzo. Nel tardo pomeriggio offrono vino e formaggio, molto carina come cosa. Posizione ottima, proprio vicino alla fermata della metro, in pochissimo tempo si raggiunge Downtown. Se chiedete un consiglio su come raggiungere l'areoporto jfk, cercheranno di farvi acquistare un servizio molto costoso che probabilmente ha una convenzione con loro, e vi sconsiglieranno la metro. Non date loro retta, la metro e' il mezzo piu' economico, e anche sicuro, persino a tarda notte.

Понравились дополнительные услуги, такие как, континентальный завтрак, включенный в стоимость и вечерние закуски с 17 до 18-30. Не понравился шумный оконный кондиционер, не работающий на обогрев, в добавок, маленький номер и ванная далеко не такая, как описана у вас на сайте.

Le personnel de l’hôtel a été très accueillant. La décoration est soignée et on se sent vite "comme chez soi".La chambre était très propre ainsi que la salle de bain .La situation est idéale à deux pas d'une station de métro et à 10 min du met, du Guggenheim et de Central Park. Le petit déjeuner est très bon et le vin et le fromage vers 18 h très sympathiques. Nous retournerions volontiers dans cet hôtel le cas échéant.
