The Algonquin is a busy hotel with a small lobby - this isn't a criticism, just an observation. We were pleased with the hotel, staff, and services available.

Beautiful lobby and hotel, great service, but never had so much street noise in a hotel room before, even in NYC. I was only on the 2nd floor though. I'd stay again, but request upper floor and/or not facing the main street.

A couple years ago, my daughter and I visited NYC and stayed at the Algonquin Hotel. We really enjoyed our accommodations. This summer, my husband and I returned to the same hotel, so I could share the experience with him. He enjoyed the proximity to Times Square, the theatre district, and excellent restaurants. Our room was clean and we loved having  free Internet access and use of the gym. The restaurant downstairs is very good, too, and we were treated like royalty. Now my older daughter wants to visit NYC. It looks like I'll be coming back to the Algonquin.

Not as great service in lounge and bar but everyone else is better than best. The rooms are small but I like that. I have a terrible allergy to dust and the rooms have NO dust magnets and are the cleanest I have seen anywhere. Bathrooms a little discolored but only because of fabulous original tile etc. They are immaculate. Overpriced unless you get  coupons or deals but they are readily available. You end up spending less anyway. Free wifi. Marriott rewards points and inexpensive places to run into for meals if you want. I hope I never have to stay anywhere else. Fab hotel!

This hotel lives up to its legendary past. The rooms are extremely comfotable though small. The carefully scaled furniture makes the room seeme plenty big. The bed was amazingly comfortable, the room spotless and surpisingly quiet for NY. The staff in general are wonderful and so helpful. I did find that the Round Table bar could use some training.  A gimlet made with fresh lime juice was three times made with Rose's lime juice - although I was chagred for the higher priced drink. on the last instance, the manager caught it and had it remade. This blip aside, it was a great stay in a most convenient location.

I was so shocked to see how in 5 years it had become such a mediocre hotel. The room and bar are overpriced .Waiters have no clue what they are doing, spill drinks or bring you the wrong ones. You ask for a Martini with a twist and you are served a dirty martini. I remember the cocktail napkins with Dorothy Parker quotes, now reduced to plain paper  napkins, the magnetic key holders which told the story of the hotel now also replaced by common ones. The hotel is now just a shell which justifies prices which are out of proportion with the service offered. Only Mathilda has kept her regal appearance. The rest is on its way to a Motel 6 status.

Room not ready when promised, and when we could check in, they downgraded us to a smaller bed without telling us. when we asked to move to what we reserved, we were told that room wasn't ready and it was on the second floor -- could they comp us breakfast instead? we agreed, but when we picked up the comp coupons, they were for a continental breakfast  that is about 60% sugar. Love the history and ambience, but we won't be going back.

The hotel is lovely. The location is good if you have business in mid-town. The staff were friendly. The problem with the hotel.com room was that it faced a very busy street and my husband didn't sleep all night. The lobby bar is very expensive. The desk-staff definitely made us feel that we were discount guests. The room was well appointed, clean and  comfortable. The bellman was very welcoming and gave a history of this historic hotel.

What a magical time at the Algonquin! Cozy, clean, peaceful....wish I was there right now! Mike, a waitstaff member, was the frosting on the cake with his outstanding service and flair for presentation!

The hotel is excellent (location and cleanliness) but the front service people left a bit to be desired. They stood around and chatted while we opened our own doors and carried our own bags. The front clerk at the desk was less than helpful and friendly.
