Outstanding!

After much research, we chose to stay here for our first ever visit to NYC. What a great choice! The staff was incredible and the rooms very nice. Although we started out in a 2nd floor room, they readily moved us to the 31st floor the following day as rooms were vacated. Great location just blocks from Times Square, restaurants and entertainment. We'll stay here on a return visit.

Great hotel, excellent location

Excellent service from staff, nothing was too much trouble. Impressive room size - much bigger than expected. MUCH better than hotel I had previously stayed in in New York. Great location, free wifi, baggage storage, tea/coffee, and many little "extras".

Family celebration

Had a fantastic experience at the Distrikt Hotelwith superb views from our room on the 25th floor. Staff were welcoming and friendly, the welcome cakes were a lovely touch, as were the weather cards and chocolates every night. Very central location, we were able to walk to central park, Times Square and Empire state building very easily. Felt very safe in and out of the hotel and the free Wi Fi was a definite bonus.The only wish would be that the beds were bigger, with 4 adults in one room, king size beds would have been nice!! If we ever get the chance we would definitely stay at the Distrikt again.

A great girly getaway

This hotel was in a great location, a few minutes walk from Time Square. The staff were friendly and very helpful and couldn't do enough for you when you needed help with attractions, places to eat etc. The breakfast at the hotel is good value and very nice food, with continental and a good hearty cooked breakfast. Fried burgers are a must in this hotel, the chef is amazing. Nothing was too much effort for the staff at this hotel, whether it was a taxi or a hotel car to go back to the airport. Rooms were of very good size and cleaned every day on request. The New York Times was delivered outside you door everyday and a weather report for the following day left on your bed.

Wonderful experience

Small hotel, great staff, very nice. Got early in the morning after a red eye and was allowed to my room at 6am! The room was exactly the right size, and seems brand new.

Stylish Boutique Hotel Near Port Authority

Arrived in NYC for an overnight business trip. Check-in seemed to take a little longer than expected - front desk person didn't know how to process bookings from Orbitz. Room was spacious, clean, and well-designed. The bathroom had beautiful fixtures and great toiletry products. Coffee maker was nicer than usual - one of those that makes single serving cups - and had tea options, as well. Staff was nice enough to store my luggage the next day until I headed for the airport. Porter got the wrong bag, so I waited a little longer than expected. All in all, it was a really nice hotel that I would certainly visit again!

not thew greatest

Theater and Ballet. Although convenient, west 40th street has got to be one of the dirtest in all the City.We were not told coffee was available in the am in the lobby. The closet is very small and stuffed with drawers and a safe so much so that two pair of pants barely fit. They need to hang long to get creases out.The service was good but not that much better than other hotels I have stayed in.

Excellent Hotel

The hotel was beautiful, modern decor and very well kept. There is luggage storage if you arrive too early to check in and if you check out and still need luggage storage they are happy to store it for you. Free coffee or hot cider in the lobby. Newspaper at your door every morning. An iphone dock/ alarm clock, free wifi...doesn't get any better than that for the price. The location was also perfect...right next to the port authority terminal/ subway station and very close to times square.
