Amer1959 United States of America

very comfortable beds , perfect rooftop bar, nice personal

Diana Russia

It was in a great location, the room was spacious & your staff was amazing.

Susana United States of America

Very quiet and well appointed. Comfortable rooms as well. The hotel is bigger than a boutique but smaller than a chain, which was just right.

Patrick United States of America

The staff was respectful and accommodating. Very eager to please. I would stay at the Knickerbocker again without any hesitation. The room was a great size and very clean.

Patti United States of America

Location was terrific. Stylish. The housekeeping team did a great job.

Steve United States of America

Comfortable and clean. Not too soft and not too hard. Liked the pillows

Jaya United States of America

Very nice rooms and hotel, right in top of times square subway, and a block from Bryant park. Easy access to city

Austin United States of America

the room was completely upgraded and automated. i love the remote control blinds, the layout is OUTSTANDING, maximizing the space and still leaving plenty of room to walk around. Control of the lights next to the bed was PERFECT.
