Avenel Holidays from AU$3,209

Smaller, older building but that is very much NYC. Room was small and a little dated but overall no issues. Rooms were clean and staff was great. Excellent location being basically around the corner from Grand Central Station (connection to everywhere) and 15min walk to Times Square.

Clean room, Shops nearby...

Just in off famed Park Avenue, and a few blocks away from 5th Madison and 5th Avenue (shopping galore), as well as Central Park (easy to walk up to the Central Park Zoo, and if you want to get your steps in, up to the Met), this boutique hotel is a find. Especially as the rooms (we had two queen beds) were much larger than most in NYC at the same price range. While there's no food in the hotel, restaurants and coffee shops abound as soon as you walk out the door. And many rooms have small kitchenettes. The staff is lovely and helpful, the beds are very comfortable, and we would certainly stay again.

Our room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had that perfect mix of classic charm and modern comfort. The bed was unbelievably cozy — we slept so well after long days exploring the city! The attention to detail throughout the hotel really stood out.
