The Hotel Elysee

We had a wonderful experience. Staff was polite, room was comfortable, fabulous location. The bar/ restaurant attached The Monkey bar is probably one of the best I have ever been too. Atmosphere abd food was fabulous!!! Furnishing are outdated but rooms are clean, comfortable and cannot bear the location. We will definitely return!!!!

This hotel looked great on the website but the in person reality was disappointing. The bathroom was tiny with old fixtures - a pedestal sink that had no room for toiletries. Carpet was a bit dated - maybe needed a serious cleaning. On the positive side, they had a very nice lounge where you can get breakfast, coffee and all day snacks. And the staff was very helpful and friendly.

This is an older hotel, but the service and location make it a great place to stay. We had a small room, but it was comfortable, and always clean. The staff couldn't have been nicer. They have a library/lounge that added to the ambiance and convenience, with coffee, latte's, expresso's, pastries, fruit and beverages. It made our mornings and late afternoons a relaxing place to unwind from the day or simply read the newspapers provided. They also had a computer available to print out boarding passes etc. Everything was close by to the hotel- we walked to our Broadway play (in the 50's), the MOMA, and restaurants. The Monkey Bar there, has a great restaurant with atmosphere, wonderful food and service (pricey but worth it). We stayed 4 nights and our total bill, with all taxes, resort fees was $1600- a great price for what we had, and we would definitely return.

Our best family trip to NYC. Hotel Elysee is convenient but not on a loud street. ||We had a room with a terrace which was amazing. ||We had dinner at the Monkey Bar last night which everyone loved. ||The second floor is a great addition. Coffee and snacks were a great change from busy NYC

We enjoyed a two night stay at this old building in Midtown East. It was a good location for seeing a show, or walking to museums. We got Room 44, which did not have any view to speak of, but what it lacked there, it made up for in quietness. We felt a world away from others in the room. The appointments themselves could use some updating: our mattress was very soft, and much of the furniture looked worn. The $25 fee attached to the room allows you access to the Club Room where there are sodas, waters, and snacks at all hours. This was very convenient, as was the continental breakfast (hard-boiled eggs, yogurts and pastries).

This hotel was gorgeous and the quality/service was incredible! My wife and I came to NYC for a family celebration and spent our weekend here. The rooms were spacious and the beds were quite comfy. All staff members we interacted with were friendly and helpful. They provided us with delicious restaurant recommendations (highly recommend the Monkey Bar attached to the hotel if you can get a reservation) and set up reservations for when we arrived. They were also more than accommodating with our arrival and departure schedules when plans shifted around some. I should also note that the whole hotel is furnished with beautiful French antiques and florals which really add to the charm of the experience. The location of the hotel was also wonderful. So many shops! There are also lots of delicious restaurants only a few blocks away, and if you are up for a little longer walk, you can easily get to Time Square and Broadway The hotel also offers a complementary breakfast which later turns into a snack/coffee/tea room. We found the breakfast was more than substantial with yogurts, pastries, and some other options. It was great when we were in a hurry one morning, but also great when we were having a relaxing morning with tea/coffee before heading out for brunch. It was an amazing weekend and I will absolutely be coming back next time I am in NYC.

The club lounge and the staff there are the best part of this hotel in addition to the location. After a lengthy airport commute, it's great to be able to grab water and snacks as well as to do so throughout the day. I love that the selection is always refreshed and that newspapers were available. The manager at the front desk was brusque and the doorpeople did not always mind the door. In addition, the hotel would not consider nor would they provide any further discount or comps for my travel to my travel agent. The carpet and most of the furniture in the room were beyond worn and in need of an update. It is well located in terms of central park, Moma and the theatre district. It's charming, but definitely in need of an update.

Great location for a few days exploring NYC. |Aussies on holiday - this hotel was comfortable, friendly (without being overbearing) and walking distance to everything we wanted to see. |Can recommend the nearby Bluestone Cafe for a decent coffee too!
