Hotel Giraffe was a great base for our one week stay in the city, it is a perfect location for both uptown and downtown. And there is a subway station only 2 blocks away (5 mins walk max) When booking I asked for a high floor and this was granted, I would recommend trying to get a high room in... more

This hotel deserves all the rave reviews it's received to date! We booked on the strength of the Trip Advisor reviews and they were spot on. Almost afraid to rave about it myself as I want to go back and not have it booked up. An amazing gem in a fairly central location - quiet but only a few blocks... more

My husband and I looked forward to a weekend at Hotel Giraffe. From all prior reviews, I was looking forward to staying at this hotel. Upon arrival, I was a bit disappointed that we were not about to check into our room at 2PM. We were instructed that check in was at 3. We cannot say that the friendliness of... more

I have stayed in many hotels in NYC and this one is by far my favorite. The room sizes are surprisingly large, with double sinks in the bathroom. The amenities in the lobby--breakfast, 24/7 coffee, wine/ cheese in the evening with live piano music are nice. There are lots of good restaurants close by and the neighborhood is terrific. If... more

We knew when we arrived at the hotel that our room would most likely not be ready, rather than politely explaining that the room was not ready, they curtly informed us that check in time is 3 pm. That pretty much sums up the rest of the staffs attitude. Our room was on the 3rd floor facing Park Avenue, at... more

We stayed for a week and found the hotel accomadation spacious and very clean. Prices were equivalent to other hotels in the district and unusually Breakfast was included. Quiet at night and therefore getting sleep wasn't a problem either. Within walking distance of the Empire state, Flatiron and Macy's and there's a Metro station at the end of the block.... more

Hotel Giraffe proved to be an oasis in the NYC desert of overpriced, over-rated, cookie-cutter hotels and cut-rate fleabags. We spent three nights and couldn't find a thing to complain about. Doormen, desk staff, housekeeping staff were on the ball, courteous, attentive and actually seemed to enjoy what they were doing. King-bed room was spacious, well-appointed, clean and comfortable. Location... more

Was on a college tour trip with my daughter from Vermont to Philadelphia. This was the best hotel we stayed at, recommended both by my sister-in-law (an ex-New Yorker) and my New York friend. Loved our room. Staff super friendly without the "hotel trained overboard fake friendliness". The best yet was the lobby where breakfast was served. Just about all... more

I purposely chose this hotel because it received such a high rating among NYC hotels on this website but was sorely disappointed. I expected more, especially for the price ($300+ for a single room). The hotel is certainly nice, clean, but fairly small. The room was also very small. I was offered a larger room for $70 or so more... more
