"Expensive but you have to expect that in New York"

We only stayed one night in this hotel and were generally happy with the double room. It was quite big and, even though the decor suggested otherwise, the shower and bathroom facilities were modern and very good. You'd expect more for your money elsewhere but it's right in the centre of New York, just off 5th Avenue, so you're basically paying for the location. Plus, it's very close to several metro stops, which is handy.

"Fair enough!"

It's good place to stay. I slept in a 6 people room and everybody is, as usual, so quiet and respectful.

"Hostel or Hotel 1st timer"

This place was not what I'd expected...never shared rooms with unknown people but the experience was not all that bad,unusual for me but an experience nonetheless not bad. T he location and price was perfect for New York City. I would not mind booking there again.

Cons: My reservation was for 1 bed in a 4 beds bedroom with a bathroom. i was put in a 8 beds bedroom without price deduction. the bathroom wasn't cleaned for my whole stay (5 nights).

"First time staying at the gershwin"

Pros: First time staying at the gershwin. great value for the money. was upgraded to double beds instead of twins. staff very nice. the room was large and bathroom very accessible. overall great choice.
Cons: Hotel location was not as central, but i knew that. a little slow in giving our luggage to bellman, since we could not check in upon arrival. hot water in shower is a little slow, but eventually comes on.

"Really quirky and cute hotel, clean room, good location, and staff very..."

Pros: Really quirky and cute hotel, clean room, good location, and staff very nice. maybe a bar in the lobby wouldn't go amiss!!!!
Cons: The bed was pretty uncomfortable. also, when we booked back in november, you quoted us a low price for parking. we weren't told at that time that the service was changing and the cost would go up to 40 dollars. we should have either been informed of this information before hand, or the original price we were quoted should have been honored when we arrived as we booked before the new service was in place. apart from those things, the stay was very nice!

"We stayed in a spacious, characterful 'superior double' suite - very clean..."

Pros: We stayed in a spacious, characterful 'superior double' suite - very clean with good facilities incl. en-suite bathroom, tv, comfy armchairs and in-room safe. although the hotel is perhaps less luxurious than some higher-star hotels, the staff was much more friendly and accommodating, and the same faces staffed reception throughout our stay. funky artwork and a relaxed feel made it a great stay - we spent a lot more time chilling out in the room than we would on a normal sightseeing trip because it was so pleasant.
Cons: No

Gershwin Hotel New York can be found in the city centre, in Manhattan’s vibrant flatiron district, between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue. The Empire State Building and the shops at Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, the Chelsea art galleries and Penn Station are just a short stroll from the hotel. Several metro stations can be found nearby to take you to the rest of the city.

The city’s most creative artists come to life in the Gershwin Hotel, as becomes apparent at the moment of entering the lobby in Pop Art style, complemented by a specimen Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup that’s signed by the great artist himself. The experience can continue in the on-site art gallery or in The Living Room, a performance area where music, comedy and theatre is presented regularly. Gershwin Hotel New York furthermore offers a rooftop that’s ideal for sunbathing, as well as multinational staff that will gladly assist you.

Spread out over 13 floors, the rooms feature private bathrooms and various functional amenities. There are also basic dormitories with less facilities and a shared bathroom. The walls of the rooms are adorned with pop art.
