    i think there was something wrong with the showers. the water was boiling hot. at the coldest setting the water came out steaming, it was unbearable to take a shower... very uncomfortable. the sink also had the same issues we couldn't even wash our hands my hands were so red after washing them it was seriously so hot. I love warm showers, but it was seriously unbearable

    the location is great! the hotel its self is really nice. Ive been to New York 4 separate times (we always stay at some type of hilton) this hotel had the comfiest beds!!

    No welcome cookie or information about complimentary snacks at check-in

    No information was provided at check-in about complimentary evening snacks or drink (found out much later, and it was too late to benefit from as I stayed for one night only).. No welcome cookie provided as mentioned by other guests. Check-in was cold. As a first-time guest at the hotel, I didn't feel welcomed by reception staff. Their hospitality skills could do with improvement.

    The location was excellent. The rooftop bar has a view of the Empire State Building. The room was small but comfortable. No complimentary bottled water is provided in the room. Toiletries are (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion) provided.

    Cleaning was inconsistent. Some days there was no cleaning at all and floors are definitely not hoovered daily. We had a struggle with the quilt cover, first time see to flat sheets covering the quilt in stead of proper cover 😄

    The hotel is located on the middle of most of the activities. Really close to Penn Station, it never took more than 4 stops to get were we needed to go. Many places around to eat. If you staying at this hotel you must go and try best bagels, 5 minutes away and don’t be scared of the queue it moves really quickly. Resection team was amazing and really helpful!

    Nothing about the hotel itself, however outside of the hotel were a lot of people just hanging around, if I were to go back again I would probably stay in downtown Manhattan away from the crowds.

    The bed was super comfortable, the location for access to main tourist areas and transit to the airport was good. The staff at reception were helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the facilities were pretty good.

    The room we were given was tiny. Barely any room for our suitcases. Everything was a tight squeeze

    8th Avenue can get a little rough at night but overall it was a handy place to be for getting around the whole city

    The only slight criticism I had was our room was nearing on too small for our travels. But I say this mindful that space doesn't come naturally to New York so it's not a complaint as such. I just think that we struggled to 'unpack' with the space and wardrobe space available for our 7 day stay in NY, we could have done with more hangers in the wardrobe, a bigger wardrobe, space under the bed even would have helped for tucking our suitcases out of the way instead of blocking our path to one side of the room. But it's a small thing in comparison and we did love our stay!

    My partner and I took a trip of a lifetime to the US, and our first trip was NY where we stayed at the Hilton. We had a comfortable stay, it was clean, location was incredible for everything, access to the subway was fab.

    The reception was not the friendliest. The windows were quoted dirty and one couldn’t enjoy the view, but what to expect that high up.

    Clean, bright and comfortable. As always amazed by the cookie drawer.

    The only teeeeny thing to flag was that the bed duvet (inside the cover) appeared patchy so these may need updating (unless its the stuffing and not stains)

    We loved the convenience of the facilities and the rooftop bar at night!

    Room was a little cramped for two people plus luggage but hey this is NYC, we didn't spend enough time on the room for this to become a major issue for us.

    Welcoming and friendly staff made checking in and out very easy, they also gave us each a warm cookie each on arrival which were heavenly. Security deposit taken for the room on check-in which was refunded to my card in full within minutes of checking out. Facilities were clean and well maintained, the view from my room was gorgeous.
