Overall Ratings & Reviews The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection

Excellent

We were upgraded to the Dorothy Palmer suite, whilst in some aspects it required updating and could do with a fridge in the room, overall a good hotel. The food and drinks were extremely expensive and the food repetitive. I was disheartened that the bar shut at 10pm on a few days so after a show we could not relax in the bar to finish the evening off. Annoyingly to us they put a 18% gratuity onto the bill and also a space for additional gratuity, it took away the how happy with the service element, as the service on most days was extremely poor, think it was because we did not add an extra gratuity, personalty I thought a basic beer in a small glass was 10 dollars plus tax and then 18% gratuity was excessive as it made a simple small beer very expensive compared to outside bars/restaurants. Overall a good hotel in a good area close to times square, but overall expensive for what you got, the receptionist when leaving said as we did not use the daily credit they had added it to our account no benefit for us but guess it was for them.

Lovely old hotel with great staff and interesting features. Desk staff were really helpful with check in and booking restaurants. Food is available over long periods of time and offers variety and quality but is fairly expensive. Our king room was expensive but large and well decorated, although the bathroom was very cramped and the shower leaked badly. The springs in the bed squeaked loudly and the mattress was overdue for replacement. We enjoyed the references to the wit of Dorothy Parker and the round table. Overall an enjoyable stay but overpriced.

This historic hotel was on our list of famous places to stay. The staff is amenable and helpful. The food and drinks are delicious. But we were disappointed that the famous Blue Bar had been modernized. Instead of warm and inviting,it is icy and cold. Only the bartender was the same.

Historic and beautiful hotel

The Algonquin has been my favorite hotel in the city for almost 50 years. It has changed to keep up with the times. I miss man of the old charming features, the lobby recalling the days of glory with the Round Table, the waiters in tuxes, the laid back decor. The new Algonquin is still very special. it is very pleasant. The house kitty Matilda is sadly gone, but Hamlet has replaced her. He is a little shy, but makes the rounds of his place. The rooms are a little small but very comfortable. Wonderful place to stay in the city.

Friendly staff and Hamlet

Great location to all the uptown areas you might want to visit . Very helpful with concerns . Terrific service in the lounge and restaurant . Cute and quaint .

Wonderful place to stay.

Liked ambience of lobby. Bathrooms small with poor water pressure, air conditioner stopped working on our 2nd night, coffee machine in lobby was not working and breakfast at hotel charged $8 if purchased with food.

The majority of the staff was oof and inattentive. The rooms were far more worn than the Propert photos.

Hotel room very small. Condition of furniture in room poor. Bench chair in room torn/shredded. Not expecting that.

Proximity to time square. Wish they had a fridge in room

This was a very nice hotel. I would stay here again.

The Algonquin is a classic, elegant and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely

This is a great old hotel. The amenities are up to date though, and the rooms are very comfortable. Unfortunately, our heat wasn’t working. We reported that in the morning as we were checking out and they immediately gave us rewards points as a consolation, and said they would address it right away. We had drinks in the bar area and, while expensive (it is NYC, after all), they were great and service was wonderful. This hotel is also perfectly located for enjoying Broadway and the theaters. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful service, wonderful attention by a first-rate staff.

Great location and charming.

Fabulous old style hotel with an impressive pedigree. Great music in the bar and the best avocado toast breakfast I’ve had.

Beautiful historic hotel. Staff were so friendly. Room was well appointed. Every thing within walking distance. Wonderful.
