The check-in experience was very unfriendly. We were told nothing, and had to find our way to the elevator and our room ... ourselves. The parking fees were very high for NYC per night. We would not recommend this hotel or stay there again. Beds were not comfortable. Outside staff were very friends and helpful. Wish that could have been transfered to inside help.

From the moment I checked in to the moment I left I was satisfied! Everyone was nice, some addressed me by name which is un ... heard of I loved the fact that at night they asked for the key which made me secure knowing that they care for our safety. When I came in and explained that I was late from the airport due to my delayed luggage; they kept my room and informed me first thing next day that my luggage had arrived. Harry's Bar was wonderful and I really felt at home. I will for sure stay there again. THANK YOU EVERYONE AT NY HELMSLEY!!!! Much luv and God Bless.

This was our first family trip to New York City. We are a family of five, but the kids are 21, 23, and 25. Our main objective ... was a ny yankees game and area site seeing. The New York Helmsley Hotel, New York, New York is a great hotel for tourists. It was clean and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. We did not spend much time at the hotel. It is not a resort type stay, but you are in New York City, who stays in their hotel much? It was a few blocks from Grand Central Station were we caught the subway or you could get a taxi right at the hotel. We thought we wanted closer to Times Square, but we were very glad we did not stay in or near times square! We felt very safe in and around The New York Helmsley Hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel and we would stay here again. And it was the best price.

Two 50 something Moms and two 20 something daughters on a long weekend in NYC. Great location, fabulous deli next door for ... early morning coffee and breakfast. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Concierge recommendations were all good - loved DaNico in Little Italy. Room was nothing special, but comfortable enough for four women in two double beds. Needed more hangers and towels, no problem. Delivered promptly. Bar and lobby well appointed and comfortable. Elevators a little slow, but hotel was crowded with European tourists - very interesting people watching. Would return without hesitation and would recommend to family and friends.

You must visit an Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village called Morandy's. It's on 7th and Waverly and in addition to the food being excellent, it has a fun welcoming atmosphere! Reasonably priced too!
