Wonderful stay in the middle of Times Square
Pros:

Beautifully appointed, clean, updated decor. Very comfortable room in the middle of Times Square. Surprisingly quiet to street noise, but our room was near the elevator and could hear the elevator ding.

Cons:

Paid for a city view, which we had, but didn’t realize there would scaffolding outside our window.

Definitely, the next time I go to New York, I’ll stay at this hotel again.
Pros:

My experience at this five-star hotel was simply impeccable. From the very beginning, I felt extremely comfortable. The facilities were spotless, and the atmosphere conveyed a sense of order and calm. The location is unbeatable: just steps from Times Square and close to New York’s main attractions, with quick access to trains and transportation. The staff was attentive, professional, and always willing to help. All in all, a first-class stay that exceeded my expectations.

Cons:

Everything was perfect! I have nothing bad to say!

Ahhh THE Knickerbocker!!!
Pros:

I visit NYC often for Broadway shows and the Knickerbocker has become my favorite hotel to stay. On this visit Tony greeted, served and took the absolute best care of my stay! The "21" rooms - if you know you know! They also have one of the best steakhouses on the planet as in Charlie Parmer! Also steps away from the Time Square clock and ball drop with a spectacular view from their iconic rooftop lounge! Then on the other side is the fabulous Bryant Park! In need of the perfect hotel stay in NYC - look no further than the Knickerbocker located on 42nd street between Time Sq and 6th Ave!

Thanks Paolo S. for your service !
Pros:

The best customer service I’ve experienced. Paola S. was so friendly and helpful. She made the experience better through giving us the best deal on the spot to upgrade our room. She was just very pleasant to work with.

Highly recommended!
Pros:

We had an amazing experience! Our family had never stayed in Times Square before, but it was outstanding. It is quiet enough, but in the middle of everything. Every morning we had excellent service provided to us by Gania at breakfast, she was so attentive and kind.
