Hotel Edison

CB84

Could not fault this hotel from start to finish. I read some bad reviews of the hotel before travelling to New York from the UK, so was a little worried the stay was going to be a nightmare. All the staff were polite and efficient at doing their jobs from front of house to cleaners, bar and restaurant staff to bell boys, nothing was ever a trouble. You do pay room tax upon arrival which is around $45 (£34) per night which I believe is the case for all hotels in the city (I may be wrong) they do hold $100 as a deposit on the room. Yes if you are not expecting this it can come as a shock so do understand people's frustrations with this but it didn't bother me. You get a breakfast voucher per person, per night these can be used for a grab and go breakfast downstairs in Bond 45 (you don't pay any extra for this), this is a multiple choice of either Fruit of Pastry then a choice of either two different hot sandwiches, yogurt or hot pancakes then a drink selection of Fresh Juice, bottled water or tea and coffee, all of the options where pretty decent remember this is a grab and go breakfast, its quick simple but very tasty and does the job its intended to. You could also use the vouchers for the restaurant experience which you pay $6.95 extra, it is a basic menu but food was all good but in my opinion the grab and go was the best option for me personally. The restaurants do have a full breakfast, dinner, lunch menus you can pay to eat, as the puplic can walk in off the street to eat and drink in them. We had two bottles of water in our room every day and were not charged extra for them, each floor in the hotel has filtered water stations and ice dispensers to use, if anyone is worried about being charged for bottled water. Rooms were clean, tidy, beds are firm but me and the wife, every night, both got a decent nights sleep (I don't sleep well at home so says something) We stayed during the blizzard and the city was on lockdown, we received a letter of apologies on the morning of said blizzard explaining there was a staff shortage but didn't really notice, again staff were fantastic at making our stay as comfortable and easy going as possible, credit to all the staff for this. We paid to eat and drink in the restaurant once and Bond 45 a few of times and drinks and food were really good in both. The bar staff in Bond 45 are fantastic the cocktails have got a kick 10/10 for the them. We were travelling in a family party of 3 married couples and we all pretty much had the same opinion in regards to the hotel etc. This hotel was only ever booked as a base, somewhere to get our heads down for exploring the city but it exceeded our expectations. Thank you to all the staff at The Hotel Edison for making our trip to New York that much more comfortable and easy going.

This hotel is great but not perfect. Some of the issues we encountered was the huge delays when checking in. Appreciate it was busy, but they should be prepared for this. Alot of the staff were lovely, but there were a handful who were quite miserable - mainly baggage handler. We also found the hotel itself to be very hot which I know in the winter sounds like a silly complaint, but almost too hot to sleep comfortably which we could not seem to fix with using the AC which was also broken. Also heard a constant dripping noise coming from within the wall, possible pipework, which for the first few nights was pretty annoying With the above being said, it is a solid 4 star rating. Great options for the grab & go breakfasts. The gym was brilliant for a hotel gym. Also found the beds very comfy. Locations wise its perfect. You are ever so slightly out of the loudness and constant traffic of time square and its quite quiet despite what other reviews say, however it takes no more than 3 minutes to walk to the heart of times square. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily come back.

Overall the hotel is pretty decent. The bed isn't nearly as comfortable as I would have hoped. The biggest frustration is that this hotel looks to nickel and dime you to death throughout your entire stay. Sure, the room price isn't bad, but you have to pay for an extra dinner at the hotel. Plus you have to pay if you want breakfast. Plus if you want good Wi-Fi it's an extra $5 a day. And don't forget that if you want the complimentary a bottle of water, it's not complimentary, it's $3. This is why I usually stay at a Marriott, where you get all of these features and you don't have to pay extra for them. While the room was fine, all of these extra charges have inspired me to not stay at a Hilton next time.

Just stayed at the Edison with 10 others to celebrate a birthday and had a 4 day stay. Reception staff in the main are polite as are the security. The location is brilliant, just around from Time Square. Rooms are clean, comfortable but dated and asked for a room change as the room I had was very noisy with air conditioning Units outside. The replacement room was no better. My main gripe was a very rude luggage handler and should be nowhere near dealing with hotel guests. I stood there with my luggage taking my turn to be seen to. Hesaid to me that I need to communicate better. I challenged him and stated its obvious that im waiting for him or another handler to take my cases from me to place in the luggage store. He just became even more rude and very obnoxious. Awful person.

I don't usually write reviews but after reading poor reviews I frlt compelled to do so. We just stayed there (February 2026) and have stayed there a few other times. The location at 47th and Broadway is excellent. Security is excellent, checking room keys to get to elevators and checking for room or luggage key to wait in lobby lounge. Staff are not exuberant but polite, respectful and efficient. They have a job to do. You get vouchers for breakfast, $6.95. Guests recieve vouchers for a $6.95 breakfast. It can get busy so get there a little early. "Yes" the menu is limited to four choices but the food is good and considering that a coffee from Starbucks is $6.00, we have no complaints. We love the greek yogurt with granola. Each time we have stayed there the room and bathroom were immaculate, heat worked, hot water was good, towel size so-so, rug clean, comfortable bed, nice sheets and pillows. "Yes" the rooms and bathrooms are small and there was only one nightable with lamp BUT the hotel was built in 1931!!!! Try a national, chain hotel for larger rooms and bathrooms if size is your priority! We always get a pretty good rate. My only complaint is the $40.00 "facility fee" but Mayor Mamdani is targeting hotel junk fees so it might be eliminated in the future. Even with the "cozy" rooms we will go back.
