We had an exceptional stay at Hotel Giraffe. I made a mistake with my booking and the staff helped me get a different room. the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and clean. the continental breakfast was nice and the location was convenient to all parts of the city. we would absolutely stay here again. my teens said this was their favorite location in nyc as we could walk uptown, midtown, and to soho.

I used to stay in this hotel years ago when my daughter studied in NYU. It is always comfortable, clean and in a convenient location near the subways. Now I visit NY 2-3 times a year and stay at a Marriott. Hotel Giraffe is still a comfortable place to stay in but just needs some TLC. The room we stayed in is quite outdated but clean.

We had a lovely stay here - the staff go out of their way to offer assistance and there is a collegial vibe even amongst guests… one of the perks of a boutique hotel. 24/7 food & drinks in the lobby was extremely convenient and much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back.

Would stay again.
Liked the hotel very much, and would stay again. We loved having the tea and coffee bar available. Didn't feel as though the windows kept the noise out well, but hey it's New York. Great location. Even though we had a "do not disturb" sign out, a cleaning person entered our room. I had one concern where a door man seemed to be riding a cleaning gentleman. I could be wrong, but he seemed to be bullying the man cleaning the floors and tables. It made me very uncomfortable. The man was speaking in another language, so I'm hoping that I misread the vibe.

The Hotel is close to transportation, easy access to different sights, and the staff is professional and helpful. The breakfast is convenient and the setting in the lobby is friendly. I did not like that there was a refrigerator that was for storage and not a cooling refrig. I was told it was only to store something that does not need refrigeration. The hallway rugs are outdated and need replacement. The room had new rugs and were spacious. Loved my stay-hazzle free stay. Thank you. I will visit again.
