- massimo (8/5): - Posizione Colazione, poca qualità e varietà. Bagno della camera con la tenda doccia 😱
- Rose (10/5): perfect week - perfect location, tea and coffee with pastries on tap, breakfast. bedrooms are very comfortable nothing really
- Paweł (9/5): - Very friendly service. Great location. Close to the metro station, which takes you anywhere, and many places are within walking distance. Water/tea/coffee available 24/7.
- Amos (9/5): - מיקום החדר נעים מיטה זוגית קטנה
- Kristian (9/5): -
- Brack (10/5): -
- Sylvie (9/5): Localisation centrale et l'accueil font que nous y retournerons lors de notre prochain séjour. - L'emplacement de cet hôtel est très bien. Nous avons pu faire beaucoup de visites et d'activités à pied. Le personnel est sympathique et le petit déjeuner un plus même s'il varie peu dans une semaine. La possibilité d'un check out un peu plus tardif que dans d'autres hôtels est également un point positif supplémentaire. L'insonorisation, surtout extérieure, spécifiquement à cause de travaux du bâtiment en face de notre chambre qui démarraient dans la nuit.
- Gena (10/5): -
- Mullins (10/5): Terrific hotel stay - The rooms were modern and very clean. Being able to open the window was key - I want to breathe fresh air and hear the sounds of the city. You don’t feel like you are confined in a closed box. But the window was double paned so it was quiet when closed. The staff was always welcoming and friendly. The breakfast is light but has options so you can begin your day. The location is great, in walking distance of restaurants and a pretty park. Nothing. We had a great time.

- Jeff (10/5): Really nice hotel - reasonable value for New York - We had a 1 bedroom suite which was great as there was a bed in sitting area separate from bedroom- unique in New York and perfect traveling with a teenager
- Simona (7/5): -
- Jacques (10/5): Emplacement incroyable. Chambres très confortables. - L’emplacement est exceptionnel. Les chambres sont particulièrement confortables et le personnel extra. Rien
- Debbie (10/5): - Location and breakfast Bathroom door had glass... no privacy
- Sarah (9/5): - Amazing gem of a hotel. Great staff, very clean, lovely continental breakfast and afternoon tea/cake, super location. Excellent value for a central New York hotel.
- Celine (8/5): -
- Guillermo (1/5): Very sad to see a almost sold out place everytime soo outdated. - Very outdated Very old and outdated hallway very dark no fridge in room
- Kathy (10/5): Fun, clean, beautiful rooms, great staff and loved my cappuccino too! - Beautiful room with a small balcony that was so quaint. Every morning there was a nice breakfast and the coffee machine that had wonderful cappuccino! Staff was friendly and helpful with everything. Nothing about the hotel we did not like.
- Jacques (10/5): Magique - L’emplacement est tout simplement exceptionnel! Les chambres sont spacieuses et le service très bon. Le concept du petit déjeuner est simple mais très pratique et bon. Rien
- Caterina (8/5): -
- Octavie (8/5): Super séjour en famille ! - L’emplacement était parfait pour une visite de NY en 4 jours Les chambres étaient très confortables et le personnel attentionné Le petit déjeuner était un peu léger en terme de choix et ne changeait jamais d’un jour à l’autre
- Astrid (9/5): -
- Jeanine (9/5): -
- grahame (9/5): Great - What I expected. Lovely staff
- Claudia (10/5): Delightful but too short - boutique hotel...loved the vibe and staff. My new go to downtown. I usually stay at Indigo. LOVED the walk out terrace nothing
- Raymond (8/5): - The hotel size (73 rooms), and the foyer felt peaceful and unhurried. The room was pleasant and quiet. We loved the decor and style - mid century Viennese. We felt the quality of the breakfast could have been better, although the coffee was good.
- Stephanie (9/5): Comfortable room and delicious breakfast in a prime location. - Comfortable and very clean room in a great location. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Doesn't make sense to have to wait for an elevator to go downstairs to the bathroom from the lobby.
- Charisse (9/5): - The room was very comfortable. I got some really good sleep! The staff was so nice and helpful. The hotel is in a great location and it was nice to have a balcony.
- Kent (9/5): A good hotel for a good price as far as nyc goes. - Good location. Nice staff. We had cockroach in our room.
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Tracy (7/5): - The pillows and bed were very comfortable. The room was a decent size room, especially for NYC! I liked the balcony and the doors that opened for fresh air. The location was perfect for what I had planned...loved that Madison Square park was so close! The AC didn't work that well, so my room was a little warm. And there was no fridge, I asked for one but was unable to get one. Always nice to have a fridge to cool drinks and if you have leftovers etc...Also, a little dark in the room, could use some more lighting.
- George (6/5): - Clean quiet and great location Bathrooms are tired halls where freezing cold soaps where impossible to pump out. Lighting is terrible . Low wattage bulbs and 8 lamps you had to turn on or remember how they where turned on. The desk doesn’t have 1 modern plug in or switch.
- Orit (10/5): -
- Petra (8/5): -
- W9289PLdawnw (10/5): Great stay - Great hotel! The room was very clean. The hotel staff are amazing. The breakfast was delicious. Very close to many sights, restaurants and shops. I plan to stay here everytime I visit NY. Highly recommend.
- Stefano (8/5): Tutto sommato un ottima soluzione per brevi soggiorni. - Struttura pulita e ben tenuta, personale cordiale, buona la posizione vicina a più linee della metropolitana, molto apprezzabile la possibilità di avere snack, caffè e frutta h24. Attenzione alla colazione inclusa nel prezzo: è solo continentale e non c’è la possibilità di avere uova nemmeno se le chiedete. Nelle camere non c’è il frigobar e i bagni sono piuttosto piccoli.
- Nigel (9/5): Really great - looking forward to returning. - A return visit and as good as before so will come again in the future. Location excellent for all parts of Manhattan and the subway, buses (and walkable to most parts of the central zone). Nice spacious suite and staff available but unobtrusive. Lifts a bit slow/busy in peak times , they really need a service lift but appreciate adding one retrospectively nigh on impossible in an established building. Its not too far from a major hospital so sometimes in the night a few ambulances with sirens wailing pass by but not a major issue if the windows closed, and you're in Manhattan anyway so not going to be countryside quiet anyway.

- Elena (10/5): Volveremos!! - La habitación muy cómoda, espaciosa y silenciosa. Cama enorme y súper confortable. En el comedor de la entrada siempre hay algo de fruta, café, barritas, dulces, agua…la verdad que se agradece, te hace sentir como en casa. Desayuno rico y continuamente reponiendo lo necesario. Las chicas del desayuno muy agradables y hablan español. El hotel está muy bien situado en medio de todo pero en zona tranquila. El desayuno es siempre igual: bagels, huevos duros, fruta, croissant, bebidas y dulces. Quizás podrían ofrecer más variedad de platos calientes.
- Paolo (10/5): - Snack e frutta disponibili tutto il giorno. Colazione. Posizione.
- Kimmo (9/5): - The location of the hotel is very nice. Friendly staff! Coming from a Nordic country the breakfast did not meet our standards. However, a bagel and a cup of coffee is better than nothing.
- 848terrif (10/5): Excellent. Highly recommend - This hotel is a hidden gem! It's perfectly located between downtown (Statue of Liberty, et al) and Uptown (Central Park, Natural History). The rooms are spacious and housekeeping is diligent and thorough. We had a king suite so DS could sleep on the sofa bed. It was already prepared for him when we arrived! Such a nice touch. They have blackout shades which are essential in Manhattan. The hotel provides a more than adequate continental breakfast, including coffee/ tea and snacks to provision you until lunch. The dining area is in the main lobby so you get to visit with the other guests, if you like. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had unlimited water too. The Hotel arranged transport to and from LaGuardia which was a load off our shoulders. We highly recommend and would definitely stay at the Hotel Giraffe again. Enjoy your Manhattan adventure!
- David (9/5): great - big room, great location and comfortable beds. The whole day snacks and coffee and hot water are great a little noisy
- William (10/5): Staff is helpful and courteous. Rooms are quiet and clean. - Good location. Breakfast and snacks included.
- shildon (10/5): The Best Place To Stay - We are repeat guests and will keep coming back. Everything about this hotel makes it a great place to stay. Great rooms, great breakfast, and great service. We got a great rate by booking directly and taking advantage of an on-line sale.
- Boris (8/5): -
- Françoise (8/5): Super séjour ! - L’emplacement et le côté familial de l’hôtel.
- Delphine (10/5): Séjour parfait à New York ! - Le personnel et l’emplacement de l’hôtel !
- Cheri (9/5): Nice hotel, rooms were a great size and staff very friendly and accommodating. - Conveniently located for where we needed to be. I actually liked everything.
- Jenny (10/5): - Fantastiskt bra med frukost och övriga snacks som var tillgängliga hela dagen.
- Andry (10/5): -
- Stefanie (7/5): Expensive for the quality of the rooms, very old and scarce amenities. - Location and maintenance staff The room was old. Shower head broken, balcony door broken, TV not plugged in, zero amenities to make a comfortable stay (coffee/tea in room, lotion, hand soap, refrigerator, slippers, etc). When we called for help, the solution was a smaller room on a lower floor. For NYC off season, the price I paid for this room was a terrible value.
- Anna-Karin (8/5): - Bra frukost och toppenläge! Mycket nöjd.
- Marco Andrea (9/5): - La chambre Le lobby Pas assez de mets salés au petit déjeuner.
- Brooke (10/5): -
- Susan (8/5): Great stay and would recommend this hotel. - Great staff in this little hotel. Loved the room as it was spacious with a large bathroom. Great floor to ceiling window. The bonus was the 24hr tea and coffee and snacks available and the continental breakfast. There was construction directly opposite which was very noisy at the time.
- 293JamesP (10/5): Excellent, very comfortable hotel - Larger rooms than average for NYC. Good continental breakfast. Convenient to shops et al in this part of NYC. (Only problem - one elevator out for repairs, but hopefully quickly fixed.

- Lucy (10/5): Real relaxation at a great price in Manhattan. - It’s pretty, tucked into an area of bustle with eateries, pharmacies, shops, and parks. Near the subway, 20 minutes by cab from off broadway plays. I love this place, especially the balcony outside the sliding glass door of our room. What I’d change is the piped in music in their lovely roof garden. It’s a bit overdone, but I prefer jazz to Strauss. That’s just me.
- Rosso (9/5): -
- Ewan (10/5): - Great location for mid and downtown. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Subway stations also very close to the hotel. Continental breakfast was good. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. Room was a good size. Nice little balcony. Genuine, lovely hotel and happy to recommend.
- U2460JYpeterw (10/5): Go ahead! Stick your neck out at Giraffe! - My wife and I (in our 70's) spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in a Queen room with balcony. The location is not a hugely busy area of Manhattan, like nearPenn Station, but it is steps from the #6 subway, the main north-south line on the east side. Korea Town and its wonderful barbecue restaurants are minutes away, and if that's not your thing there is every kind of restaurant and pub you could ever want nearby. The good stuff: - The room was spotlessly clean upon our arrival and the daily service was excellent. - Room size was generous, certainly generous by NYC standards, and nicely decorated. - The bathroom had excellent counter space and a bath tub, which is sort of unusual these days. Great for my wife, who prefers a bath. Great hot water and pressure. - The balcony was a bonus aesthetically as well as practically. Our room did not have a refrigerator, so we were able to keep food and drinks. So nice to be able to open a door (briefly in winter!) as well as enjoy the light! - Fabulous bathrobes!! - Medium firm mattress. Very comfortable for us. - The $25 resort fee pays for itself. The breakfast offering is great. Real bagels, authentic pastries, Real Latte, Espresso, warm eggs. And, presided over by a genuinely nice person who wants you to have a nice day. The 24 hour snacks are good quality cookies, fruit and pastries. - Ok...I have a soft spot for the breakfast lady, but all of the staff were professional and warm in the discharge of their duties. We felt like they had pride in their hotel and hospitality. The not good stuff: - This space is blank. In summary: There are a zillion hotels in NYC. There are plenty of hotels you'd be happy staying in, and you may be confused about which one you will stay in. The Giraffe works for us. We would stay at the Giraffe again, and again, and again.

- Elizabeth (9/5): Hotel Giraffe is a lovely small hotel with a charming old-fashioned feel. - Hotel Giraffe is a lovely small hotel with a charming old-fashioned feel. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The continental breakfast was quite good. The location is a little noisy because it is right on Park Avenue.
- Robert (10/5): -
- Scottishperson (8/5): Quiet hotel - Our stay in the hotel was very comfortable! We had a two bedded room with a very small balcony, which we did not really need. I usually stay on the West side but staying on the East side was much quieter ! Room was lovely, only thing was the bathroom door did not close. Continental breakfast was fine, I did think there may have been some chopped fruit. Only fruit was bananas. We usually had cereal with a croissant and coffee. Breakfast ladies were lovely, knowing exactly what coffee we wanted when we came downstairs. Bath & Body shop two blocks down (I know ladies from the UK would like to know) ! Lots and I mean lots of CVS stores on Park Avenue South ! Subway just two streets up taking you uptown or downtown, gets you to 51st street in less than 10 minutes. I was a bit disappointed as I wrote to the hotel before leaving the UK to let them know I was celebrating my 75th birthday the day I arrived and when I arrived NOTHING ! We went to the Italian restaurant attached separately our first night and the waiter was chatting to us and my friend told them it was my birthday and they came out with a lovely tiramisu with a candle which was lovely and appreciated !
- ljsidkin (10/5): A different Library Hotel... - We normally stay at The Elysee Hotel in NYC but as this was closed for refurbishment , we booked the Giraffe Hotel which is part of the same group. A great decision - welcoming and helpful staff, our Classic King room was comfortable, very clean, large with vast amounts of storage and always at a good temperature. As with the Elysee, we benefitted from the plentiful breakfast and all day snacks and drinks in the lounge.
- Trinity (9/5): Luxurious Stay For Avergage Costs - The property was in a superb location. It felt safe at every time of day/night and it is super near to KTown and even Time Square. I walked everywhere when we stayed here and it was the perfect central location to everywhere. The property itself was clean and the room was phenomenal. We even had a balcony which was a welcome surprise! All the staff were super kind, but there was a gentleman that I saw regularly that was always so nice and we would regularly chat. It was like seeing an old friend and he single-handedly made my time here feel comfortable and welcoming. I believe his name was Chris or Christian (he had glasses and a mustache and would work the night shift a lot, he has a pet cat that we talked about). Overall, I'd definitely stay again. The staff were accommodating, the room was comfortable and spacious, and I loved that they had a beverage/snack station in the lobby 24/7. Very nice touch! I didn't have anything that came up during my time here that I didn't like. The staff was great, accommodating and very polite.
- Laurence (9/5): À refaire une 3 e fois ! Hotel parfait ! - C’est la 2 e que nous y séjournons . Emplacement parfait , personnel au top ! Rien !
- Cathy (10/5): -
- CARLO (9/5): -
- Margaret (9/5): We loved this stylish, welcoming, convenient, and well-run small hotel in a great location. - Comfort, amenities, bath products. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a refrigerator in the room and to have down-free bedding. Loved the location near our friends' place in Gramercy Park. Glad to have valet parking. Next visit we will likely take the train from DC. A very congenial and welcoming hotel. And I loved being able to have tea in the afternoon or once we returned in the evening. Enjoyed the availability of snacks and the comolimentary breakfast, but you need better cereals including ones that don't have so much sugar. How about Cheerios, or Wheaties, or similar. The cereals were loaded with sugar as were the snack bars - all sugar and no protein. I would recommend upgrading the selection and having more "original" oatmeals instead of packets with lots of sugar. Also, in a hotel of your quality, I would use Harney teas or similar. One other quibble: I didn't bring lotion as I was sure you would have it , but there wasn't any in the bathroom.
- Bernhard (10/5): -
- renataditt (10/5): Friendly staff, great location, comfortable hotel! - Super friendly staff, wonderful all-day snacks! Continental breakfast was also great and I loved not having to look for a place to eat everyday. Room was clean and comfortable, location also great. I would go back anytime and I highly recommend it!

- James (10/5): Lovely,staff - The hotel lobby was comfortable, the elevators came quickly, and the room was perfect. I couldn’t find a switch in the bathroom for a fan, so had to open the door to let the steam out. And the breakfast was nice but would’ve been improved with a couple hot options: e.g., eggs, bacon.
- Bryan (9/5): - Great location, within walking distance of lots of attractions and decent restaurants. Very quiet room with good facilities. Very friendly and extremely helpful and polite staff.

- Sylvia (10/5): Excellent! We will return. - The property is conveniently located with spacious rooms and attentive staff. Breakfast is included and there is rooftop space. No complaints!
- Renee (10/5): A relaxing stay in NYC - The staff was welcoming upon our arrival. The room was spacious for New York City, clean, comfortable and quiet. We had an excellent dinner next door at Audace. The checkout time is generous. The breakfast was limited but what they had was good. I had a bagel, hard boiled egg, yogurt and banana. Easy walk from the train station if you don’t have much luggage.
