Mayfair New York Hotel

My 12 year old daughter and I loved this hotel! The staff can’t be beat. The location is perfect and for a NY hotel the rooms are surprisingly roomy with comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. We will definitely be back.

I really liked this hotel. The location was fantastic, staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Yes, the room was small and it could use some upgrading, but it was a very cozy place and a great value. We picked it because we booked at the last minute the weekend before Christmas and it was one of the least expensive, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I would definitely stay there again.

Given the price and location, this place is a good deal.
The rooms have weird wall paper that gave me bad dreams but overall I was very impressed with my the place. I would recommend that management try to alleviate the strange smell…
Would definitely recommend this place (like I said– given price and location)!

I loved the old vintage look and spirit of this hotel! I needed a very last minute reservation in the city… I’m talking night before reservations for a Friday-​Monday night stay. I couldn’t have a found a more perfect hotel in the near center of the city at a last minute price of about $ 550 total for 3 nights. That’s unheard of in NYC! My room was clean and the perfect size for me. I will definitely stay there again next time I’m in the city!

Perfect, perfect, perfect location, reasonably priced and, they let me check-​in at 7am. Rooms are super small, but that was fine with me because so am I. My only complaint: because it was so cold out, the heat was on full blast. I had to turn it down and open the window for fresh air.
Will definitely stay here again when I travel solo.

Perfect location!!! Great staff!!! Everything you need for a simple room. Not fancy or roomy but it was warm, comfortable and bathroom shower was awesome. I was pleasantly surprised at the conditions of the hotel for the great low price. I would come back for sure. It’s right next to Book of Mormon show and across from a chapel. Right in the heart of the city where your a walk away from everything.

Well, it did the job we needed it to do.
My friend had stayed here a year prior and properly prepared me for what to expect so nothing upset me. We chose this hotel based on location [very close to the heart of Times Square, right next door to Book of Mormon] and because it was the cheapest in this area. Now let me just say that «cheapest» isn’t what I consider cheap in the Midwest, but hey, this is NYC, we were able to afford it and you pay a premium for location.
Pros: Friendly staff, decently comfy bed, felt safe, usable bathroom [nothing weird], super great location
Cons: Crazy weird wallpaper, small rooms, no ice/​water/​vending machines anywhere we saw so we were hitting up Starbucks a lot for water.
The good thing is, I didn’t go to NYC to hang out in our hotel and this place was very convenient. Worth it if you are looking for a place to just crash in the city.

Preiswert und super Lage direkt am Times Square!
Das Zimmer ist zwar sehr klein, aber ideal für eine Städtereise.
Das Badezimmer war dafür wirklich sehr geräumig. Außer der extremen Hitze im Zimmer kann ich nichts besonders negatives sagen. Kein Luxus, aber wie schon erwähnt ideal für deine Städtereise in New York City.

Mayfair New York Hotel is housed in an early 20^th Century building that was converted into a hospitality center in 1995, according to the concierge. From across 49^th Street it looks to be from the Golden Age with all its gingerbread details, but inside it feels older, like a grand dame who has seen better days. Faded glory.
But, that is the charm of Mayfair. It is past its prime, but still proud and standing tall.
The rooms are Manhattan Small, and sometimes you must step out into the hall to turn around. But, I was in a King Room (605), and loved the space. A little dusty, but with an air of quietude and comfort. The large bed was very comfy. The built-​in cabinets were more than adequate to hold the little I was carrying. My room had double windows, modern on the outside, wood framed on the inside. Nice touch. More importantly, the bathroom was in good shape with lots of hot water and pressure.
WARNING — Turn the cold water on first in the sink to avoid scalding. The hot water is dangerous! The shower did not seem to have that problem.
Yet, Mayfair is far from perfect. It is too old to be cleaned well, and the dusty places are apparent. If you have mold issues, it might not be the safest place to stay. The windows (if you have any in your room) are filthy. It is impossible to see the streets well. The free internet works poorly from my experience, and I was required to use my phone for most access.
Still, the staff is friendly, multi-​lingual and helpful. I was able to drop off my bags both before and after my stay so I could spend more time in the City without hassle. The Italian restaurant and bar are lovely and a nice place for your late dinner or nightcap. The price is very good for its Theater District location, especially if you use a discount travel site to book. I got in for well under $ 200 per.
Would I stay at Mayfair again? If Broadway was my primary purpose for being in the City, I would. Otherwise, I tend to prefer a bit quieter setting farther west in Hell’s Kitchen, or south in Chelsea, Soho or even Chinatown.

This is a budget hotel (one step shy of a boutique hotel) which is right in the middle of the theater district. The rooms are nice but not roomy. The bed was very comfortable (king), the TV was a nice Samsung hdtv, the shower was nice and hot and the double windows and curtains kept most of the street noise out, and the AC (nice remote!) pumped out nice cold air in late May.
I don’t have anything negative to say but I would add that this is truly a budget hotel so you need to be realistic in your expectations. I read some of the negative reviews and I would say that is why they are negative; they expected the Marriott or Hilton for half the price; don’t be unrealistic in your expectations!
The price is great!!! You also get a discount at the parking garage down the street ($ 35/​day).
The staff is wonderful and was extremely helpful on our recent visit.
We love this place after our first stay (May 2015) and will be back. We love NY and try to go when possible and have stayed in uptown areas near Central Park for twice the rate. While those locales do have nicer rooms and are fancier they don’t justify their high costs to us since we would rather spend the money on shows or dinner. All we do in our room is sleep and shower.
