I have long wanted to stay at the Algonquin due to its history. We stayed just one night on a weekend trip to the city for a couple of Broadway shows. The hotel was just as I had imagined. They are quite proud of the literary history of its Round Table group, and this shows from the detail in their... more

We stayed from 5th November to 9th November for shopping/site seeing and Bruce Springsteen concert at MSG. We had been to NY before - this stay was truely memorable. Such an amazingly comfortable and friendly hotel. Beds - so comfortable - bliss - as mentioned in other reviews. Lovely hot showers. Relaxing room space. NYC is noisey, you expect it... more

After reading some of the reviews before my trip; I must say I was a little nervous. Well, the hotel exceeded my expectations! The historic elegance and charm is absolutely wonderful. Matida (the resident cat) greeted us upon arrival (she is so cute, fluffy and has a little attitude - which is just fine. We arrived before regular check-in time... more

My teenage daughter and I went for a long weekend trip to NYC and stayed at the Algonquin. I had heard that it was very historic and quaint. The room/bathroom was spotlessly clean, while it was small, however we were not in the room all that much , The concierge, Daniel, was very helpful in recommending a nice restaurant for... more

I stayed at the Algonquin for 4 days in October 2009. I thought the hotel was very charming, reasonably priced for NYC, and we received excellent customer service. The beds, bedding and pillows were perfect! I slept like a baby. I thought the room was quiet and while small, not unusually small for NYC. It was perfectly acceptable. The location... more

We just got back from another stay at The Algonquin in NYC, our favorite hotel. I never thought of it as haunted but treasure its’ storied history. However on our ride up the elevator during this stay a woman (a bit freaky but not a ghost) asked us “are you feeling anything on your side of the hotel?” My first... more

I wouldn't pay full price for this hotel, but it was all we needed for a weekend trip to the city: great location, good service, clean rooms. The hotel had a old New York feel and caters to older people. The rooms are small but tidy and well maintained. You could do worse, just don't expect a hip scene. more

First impressions of the hotel are of a bygone elegance with a feeling of a private members club. The lobby has art deco character with big-apple charm and was invariably lively, with all-comers revelling in the history and ambience of the hotel. Staff are friendly and attentive, but their availability was rather erratic with sometimes as many as 5 or... more

I got an amazing deal($100) with Priceline for this hotel, I got lucky! I stayed here for one night and it was a good experience. The only downside of it was that my bath tub got clogged while I was showering. The weird thing is that it must have been for a while because my hair doesn't really fal out.... more
