It's okay.

The room is clean. Good location. Water temperature in the bathroom works funny; it' started extremely hot, but dropped to normal when you let the water run for like 10 minutes. The roof top bar didn't match my expectation. I will recommend going to a bar near Time Square rather than hanging out among so many business people.

girls week away

We were really pleased with the view of the empire state building from our room. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. The location was excellent as we were only 3 streets away from the empire, which was very useful when out and about for getting your bearings. We did lots of sightseeing and shopping, plus we went on a couple of organised trips. We would definitely return and stay at the Strand again

Everyone was very helpful and nice. Greeted everytime. I did not like that there was no coffee maker in the room (had to ask for one) , no microwave, or refrigerator we could use. THey had very expensive drinks and snacks available in the room, however, not worth the price. THe location was great.

Fabulous Find

Excellent service all-around from the staff of The Strand. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left our Wed - Sun stay, we felt welcomed and treated as guests by the front desk, concierge, and restaurant staff. The hotel was cute, convenient, and CLEAN. The rooftop is great for after dinner drinks, with a great view of the Empire State Building.

I Love This Hotel

No, wait! This is my own personal hotel and I should only really share this with friends! Staff was wonderful, our room was very nice and we had a delightful stay. There was construction ongoing outside and next door that might hamper some enjoyment and if there were noisy neighbors, one might have a difficult time. The only downside was that our TV changer and telephone did not work. We ended up unplugging the TV to turn it off and using speaker phone to call the front desk.

Boutique chic hotel in heart of midtown

This hotel's location is a great jumping off point to Time Square and 5th/6th Avenue Shopping. It's on a side street, so it was quiet as far as the big city goes. The decor was art deco and very comfortable. I know its an older building and only has 2 elevators, but, I did it find it annoying that it would bypass the Lobby floor as it went from the LL or SC to the rooms above.

The Strand New York

The hotel staff was kind and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although a little small which is normal in New York. My only real complaint is that it did not have a restaurant so you could not get room service. They served a continental breakfast from 7:00 am to 10:00 am. I am an early riser and this was a problem for me because I had to wait to get a cup of coffee. I could have waited to eat but I want coffee when I wake up and would rather be able to stay in the comfort of my room without having to get dressed to go downstairs. I told the check out staff about my concern when leaving the hotel on the final day. That is when they told me that they would have delivered a coffee maker to my room on request. HOWEVR, the hotel did not have a book stating this option and it was not posted anywhere. I only had two printed pieces of paper on the dresser. I had no idea this was an option and that would have made a big difference to me.

Sightseeing tip: Long walk from hotel

Take the double decker bus tours. You have three loops and each one has a tour guide who gives you history on the areas you tour. It was amazing and you got to see so much. I never would have been able to see that much of New York without the bus tour. You can get on and off the bus throughout the tour whenever you want to explore.
