Pros:

The location was the best, and so was the staff. The service at the oriental is exceptional.

Cons:

Guests have to take two different elevators to reach their room. The first one takes you to the lobby on floor # 35. The second elevator, located in another part of the building, will take you from the lobby to the room. This can take a while if there are many guests using the elevators.

Don’t go there
Cons:

I arrived at 3:30 PM for check-in, and they told me I had to wait 4 hours because all the rooms were sold out. This is the first time this has ever happened to me.

The staff were very unfriendly, as if you were going to a free place, and the manager was also terrible.

This was my first and last time at this hotel, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

5 star experience all around
Pros:

This was an amazing hotel to stay in for my work trip. I wish I got to enjoy the hotel longer! I want to specifically call out 3 individuals:

Dustin at the front desk was such a joy! We had a hiccup with the first room I was staying in, and he was efficient in making it right, and helping me move to a new room seamlessly. Just a very kind and hospitable person all around.

John at the restaurant was the best breakfast server. He has such an infectious, positive energy, and made my breakfast experience one to remember. He is such a gem to the MO experience and I want him to be recognized!

Lastly Alex in security - left my kindle behind in one of the rooms. He promptly handled finding my item, was super gracious on the phone, and handled overnighting my kindle back to me for my next trip coming up this weekend.

This hotel has spectacular rooms, comfy beds, chic interior, phenomenal food in the lounge, beautiful views of the river and Central Park, and lovely people. I hope I get to stay again soon!!!

Wonderful!
Pros:

Our experience at the Mandarin Oriental was simply exceptional from beginning to end. The hotel delivers exactly what one expects from a property of the highest standard — and goes beyond.

The room was spacious and extremely comfortable, with impeccable cleanliness and a stunning view — simply WOW — which made our stay even more special. Everything was very quiet, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully detailed.

The location is excellent, convenient for getting around the city and close to the subway, yet at the same time peaceful, which makes all the difference when resting after a busy day.

The true highlight, without a doubt, is the team: everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, always ready to help and make us feel genuinely welcome. The care shown to me, my wife, and our daughter was especially meaningful, and the attention to every detail was truly memorable, making the celebration of a special occasion even more exceptional. I would like to especially highlight the pre-arrival contact by Victoria Vizcaino and the wonderfully positive and personalized surprises, thoughtfully arranged so that we could fully enjoy our celebration and so our daughter could also have fun during our stay. We loved it.

It was an unforgettable stay that exceeded our expectations. We will certainly return and highly recommend the Mandarin Oriental without any hesitation.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about.

Christmas Came Early
Pros:

I booked Mandarin Oriental Manhattan through the Fine Hotels program at American Express, which came with many perks (e.g., noon check in, 4pm late check out, $100 hotel credit, upgraded room, breakfast for two). My daughter checked in and she was welcomed by name with an upgraded, Hudson River view, high floor room, jasmine tea and fruit. The breakfast for two (up to $90) was a great way to start the day. The dining room has incredible views and wide selection of healthy, savory and healthy breakfast options. The nightly turn down service with slippers, mats and treats by our bed made us feel extra special. High end amenities from the Shops at Columbus Circle (Diptyque lotion, chocolates by La Maison du Chocolat Paris). Spacious shower, double sinks, tub overlooking Hudson (with bath salts), and plush robes added to the five star experience. The Christmas decorations including letters to Santa and afternoon hot chocolate bar made our trip even more "sweet." We appreciated being able to get a snack at nearby Whole Foods Market or banana pudding at Magnolia. A five story Nordstrom is across the street too. We walked to Broadway, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza, and of course Central Park (which is across the street). Last but not least, they were offering a special - third night free, which made this hotel a little more affordable, especially right before Christmas and New Year's. This hotel stay was definitely an early Christmas present for my two daughters and me!

Kein Vergleich zu anderen Mandarin Oriental in San Francisco, Hongkong, Singapore und dem weltbesten Hotel Mandarin Orie
Pros:

Die zentrale Lage am Columbus Circle und Central Park

Cons:

Die Lage des Zimmers hat nur ein begrenzten Blick auf den Hudson River- anders als das bei der Buchung verkündet wurde.
Die Zimmerausstattung (4102) ist überaltert, keine separate Toilette.
Es gibt keinen allgemeinen Aufenthaltsraum außer 12 Sitzgelegenheiten im Rezeptionsbereich!
Die absolute Unverschämtheit war das Silvestermenue:
1000 $/ pro Person zusätzlich Weinbegleitung (wenn gewünscht) für 250 $/Person.
Dazu wurden 18% (!) Service automatisch addiert, so dass sich die Gesamtkosten für 2 Personen auf 2 500 $ beliefen inkl. 1 Flasche Wasser, da wir keinen Alkohol trinken!!!
Es ist durchaus normal und akzeptabel, 18 … 25% Service zu zahlen.
Das tun wir gerne, aber bei einem solch hohen Preis von 1000 $/Person ist das nicht angemessen.
Außerdem möchten wir das selbst entscheiden.

Great but just short of a true 5 star experience
Pros:

I stayed here for a weekend getaway after all the holiday tourists were gone and NYC took a breather.

The hotel is becoming a bit outdated with wear and tear in the furnishings and in the room. Because this is an expensive five star hotel, this should not be the case. The in-room dining was, while expectedly expensive, subpar. The main restaurant was very underwhelming for a 5 star hotel and more resembled a lobby lounge (the restaurant is appropriately named the MO Lounge). The toiletries and bedding however were top notch. The only reason for paying such a high price here compared to other five star hotels in NYC is the view. We had an amazing view of Central Park which makes you want to gaze out the window 24 hours/day. We could have paid 1/2 the price at Loews Regency Hotel (which is the same level of luxury) but wouldn't of had this view. If you don't care for the view, stay at the Loews and save a few hundred dollars.

Its also convenient to have a bunch of restaurants and a Whole Foods in the lobby of the building which allows you to go downstairs and get whatever fruit, beverages or snacks you want to have in your room.

I am not sure I would stay here again and would actually give MO a 4.5 star rating.

Great time.
Pros:

We stayed at the MO and had a good time. Service was truly exceptional. As some state, the rooms are a tad outdated but not overstretched. We had a great view from our room too. Location made it easy to pop in and out of Central Park, walk to 5th ave, broadway etc.
Our only gripe was breakfast seemed to be scattered and thats where the service fell short. Seems like the quality of service is so high everywhere else but F&B downstairs not quite hitting the mark with quality of food or the service in restaurants.

I think we would definitely stay here again but, will consider other similar quality hotels first.

A truly remarkable stay
Pros:

I had a two-night urban getaway and it was wonderful. The location was convenient. The room was spacious, clean and thoughtfully designed with Marvelous views.
What truly stood out was the genuineness and attentiveness of the team. From Check in with Dream, to the Lounge experience with Mark, Martin, Nathaniel and Richard, every interaction was warm and welcoming. The Bar experience with Aya and Shakill was a Highlight- from the creative drinks to the thoughtful recommendations and the welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, it was a memorable stay defined by care, professionalism, and authentic warmth. Thank you to the Mandarin Oriental NY team for making my visit so special.

Lovely, and had the most wonderful time!
Pros:

It is a beautiful hotel and an excellent location. We walked everywhere and took the subway when needed. Many restaurants and Nordstroms plus a mall all right at the hotel. It was safe, beautiful, and the room large and comfy. No complaints, and the views were incredible over Central Park.

Cons:

Nothing - wish it was now quite so expensive.
