Hotel Edison

Vish TV

Not a review of the hotel itself, but the accessibility of the restrooms. The adjoining Rum House (amazing you should visit) uses the facilities of the Edison. However, when you enter to use the facilities, be prepared for a negative and challenging attitude by the staff, the supreme guardians of the toilets. I get you don’t want randoms walking in, but relax abit, be courteous, and maybe a touch less intense. It’s some toilets, not the Crown Jewels

We visited the Eddison recently with a group of friends along with our 18 month old son. We had booked 3 rooms, we had asked on booking for these to be close to each other, but this was not possible on arrival. Check in was fine, although we had to check in separately even though the rooms were all under one booking. We did know there would be added fees/tax payable on arrival, this was the same for each room, we were told that it mostly covered the breakfast, even thought we had a room with only one adult in it was the same cost as the one with 3, but they only received breakfast vouchers for one person, so we thought this was abit steep seen as though the room with 3 adults was the same cost and had 3 lots of vouchers. The rooms were on the 2nd and 5th floor, they were NOT as pictured on the booking. The rooms were really dark, dated, and pretty rough. We asked for an additional lamp as the lighting was inadequate, and travelling with a baby we needed to be able to see in the rooms. There rooms were 2 bed queen rooms, they were not fancy at all. One night stand between the two beds, a heater that was so loud it was impossible to have on so the room was pretty cold, again travelling with a baby this was difficult as it was a choice between warm or loud. There was just a single lock on the door, no privacy bar/chain. Which made it difficult to relax as the toddler was able to open the door and there were no further security measures we could take. Sockets looked pretty rough, extension cords running around the beds. Housekeeping was adequate. Shower curtain was mouldy. Breakfast was ok, we visited the Friedman and paid the difference to have the breakfast, but then found that we could get the exact same bagel from crave and it was included in the voucher. So that was abit of a con. Location was great. Rooms need investment, very dated, scruffy, dark. A room within our group had cockroaches, luckily this wasn’t spotted until the last day, possibly when they gave in and turned the heating on. Cockroaches on the second floor. Wouldn’t stay here again.

We always feel completely at ease every time we stay here! The team is incredibly welcoming from the moment we step into the lobby. I’m never sure if they genuinely remember us from our previous stay or if they’re just that good at making every guest feel special. Our room was cozy, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Already looking forward to our next visit!

A great place to stay if you want a nice bed /shower & be in the center of theater district & Time Square. I previously stayed near Central Park. The vibe here is very different. I was very surprised how busy & “Vegas” like the area was. It’s changed a lot. So many people. All & all nice staff. Old but clean. Felt safe walking near hotel late at night. Loved the remodeled bathroom. Very nice shower. No tub in our room. Wish the room lightening was different in room. The hotel kept our luggage all day for a cheap price since we couldn’t check in till 3 pm. We stayed out till 11 pm. Our flight left early so we couldn’t enjoy the free breakfast. I booked this hotel an hour before walking in the door. It was booked through a popular Hotel app. I asked for accommodations for 2 adults & 2 kids. The manager surprised us with an upgrade & the room was a suite with 3 large beds on 12th floor. All & all I gambled on this deal & I won big! I can imagine NYE here would be amazing & crazy. :)

Always a great experience when staying at the EDISON! The staff is so welcoming from the minute you walk into the lobby! Even the elevator music is great! The rooms are very quiet, so you have a great night sleep. The bed is very comfortable, and love the personalized note they leave you along with some snacks. Nice touch! It's the little things that show they care! The location is great, and love the convenience of having Starbucks down the block as well as a great pizza place. There's Friedmans deli in the lobby along with a great happening piano bar the Rum House! I'll definitely be back on my next trip to NY!
