Located in the historic Murray Hill district, this hotel is a calm retreat. Times Square, Grand Central Station and the Empire State Building are all within easy reach on foot. Decorated in a European style, the rooms are comfortable and well equipped, with mini kitchenettes that are great for making yourself something quick to eat. There are also many restaurants a minutes from the hotel. There are great views of the Manhattan skyline from its rooftop garden which is a lovely place to relax, and the Rare Bar & Grill serves some nice food, with the speciality being a twist on the American favourite, the hamburger! The staff are friendly, polite and always helpful - really great! There are good transport links a short walk from the hotel, so all of New York is easily acessible.

Fantastic hotel close to lots of Manhattan tourist attractions. Big bedroom with 2 really comfy queen beds. Clean bathroom and small kitchen both adequate for a short stay. Safe deposit box in room, plus hairdryer and huge TV. Fantastic roof-top views of Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will most certainly return. It felt totally safe, no problems. Thank you for a great stay.
