10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel. Great location. Welcoming, professional staff. Fun bar!"

Hard Rock Hotel New York - Partner of ALL Accor

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful, modern and clean hotel! Rooms are very well appointed and not too small for NYC. Staff are what make this place amazing, everyone is so accommodating and nice. Room service is a bit expensive for the quality but didn't stop us ordering more. All up we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"So, I will start by saying that previous reviews were 100% correct- Junior is amazing! There was quite a lineup for check-in when I arrived, however, upon being greeted by Junior I suddenly didn't mind the wait! The Hotel was lovely! The entrance/lobby was really nice! It was open, clean and inviting! The bar/lounge area was also quite comfortable! We had a drink from the lounge one night when we came back to the hotel....it was delicious! The man that served us (sorry but I can't remember his name - originally from Bangladesh) was so very nice. We had a great chat, he was very welcoming and made a great cocktail recommendation! The room was very nice. We stayed in a king bed room with a view. It was not huge but certainly big enough. The bathroom door was a slider door and didn't close tight. This was not a big deal for us but might be for some. The furniture and fixtures were all brand new and the room was freshly painted. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we got a very good night's sleep. The housekeeping was also excellent. Our room was cleaned daily and was always done before we got back for an afternoon break. The location of the hotel was great. It is in a very busy area, but we wanted to stay near Times Square so we knew going there that it would be busy! It was a 2-3 minute walk to Times Square, lots of restaurants, liquor stores and Broadway shows. There was also a Walgreens right next door! Would I return? Absolutely!"
