The Algonquin was charming and elegant. My husband and I stayed for a weekend get away for his 50th birthday. We will be staying there again.

the Algonquin is just plain, flat out, a great place to stay in nyc.

casual elegance, gracious service, good location,nostalgic history,(incl. a fully self-esteeemed resident house cat) make it hard to beat.

yes, the rooms are smallish, but very well thought out and nicely appointed.

if you want to spend time lounging in your room, ...

Location, location, location. Close to Times Square and Fifth Avenue shopping. Rooms are always clean, if a bit small. The suites are generous but more expensive, obviously. If you have any appreciation for New York and American literary and theatrical tradition, just sitting in the Round Table Room and ordering a Manhattan is worth the effort. I ...

My family and I found this hotel to be centrally located in NYC with clean rooms, and very comfortable beds. The front desk women were a bit snobby and even rude at times.

This is a phenomenal hotel with a lot of literary history to enrich the experience. The food in the Oak Room was incredible. The resident cat made this an even more wonderful experience for a cat lover. The room was a suite with a sleeper sofa and a queen-sized bed. We had great service and felt like we were living in luxury. We had coffee ...

The hotel rooms were clean, kinda small and quaint. The beds were soft and the down comforters was a nice touch. I loved the location because its only a few blocks away from Time Square so its not in the hustle and bustle. The staff there was a big help to answer all our questions of where to eat, go, and transportation. The Doorman was very ...

The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them.

WE LOVED BEING GREETED BY THE FAMOUS ALGONQUIN CAT AND ENJOYED HAVING DRINKS IN TEH BEAUTIFUL FOYER OF THE OLD HOTEL. THE ROOMS WERE TINY BUT VERY CLEAN. we WOULD DEFINITELY RETURN BECAUSE OF THE GREAT LOCATION NEAR ROCKEFELLOW CENTER AND TIMES AQUARE.
