Salisbury Hotel - New York 40.76462, -73.97782

Hotel Salisbury is located only a couple of blocks from Central Park and an easy walk to Times Square. The hotel is nothing fancy but clean and well kept. There is no doorman but it isn't necessary. You can easily pull up in front of the hotel to unload and check in before parking your car at the garage a few blocks away. There were closer parking garages but the prices were not listed and the hotel had a half price agreement with this garage which was definitely worth the few blocks walk. The upgrade from two double beds to a suite was "a pleasant surprise." There was plenty of room. The large living room had a 3 person sofa, several arm chairs, a desk, and large flat screen tv. There was a dining room/kitchen area with a full size table, 4 chairs, beer fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and a small sink. This was perfect for reheating leftovers from the numerous restaurants in the area. The bedroom was two double beds with firm mattresses and two large dressers plus another flat screen tv. The bathroom was small but adequate, well maintained, and very clean. As for customer service, the staff were more than prompt and genuinely wanted to help. When we couldn't figure out how to work the tv, a technician was immediately dispatched and arrived with in a minute of our asking for help. We also asked for more towels and within 3 mins, housekeeping had arrived at the door with the number we requested. Angelo's Pizza located next door is fantastic! The food is generous, delicious, and the prices are good for a family budget. The service is typical for NY. A bodega serving breakfast sandwiches, desserts, coffee, and other food items is located two doors down from the hotel and was also very good and affordable.

We stored our bags while we went to a show when we got back from the show we checked into our room and our bags where delivered right away. Our room was great it was huge, very clean, huge closets, 2 flat screen TVs, it was more like an apartment than a hotel room. The hotel staff was very friendly they Nick even offered us an umbrella when we where heading out in the rain.

Would definitely stay here again, you can't get a better bargain in the city. We were upgraded to a suite without asking. Suite was extremely spacious - kitchenette area with a table, large sitting area with a couch, table and chairs, large flat screen tv. The bedroom was large, king bed, two chairs, dresser & large flat screen tv. Bathroom was very spacious as well and very clean, everything sparkled. The room had 3 large closets and windows that opened and two air conditioners. It's an older building, dated decor and no amenities, but again, the best bargain around by far!!! I would skip the continental breakfast though. Great location, 2 blocks from Central Park, across from Carnegie Hall and a short walk to Columbus Circle. Extremely pleased, would highly recommend and would stay there again.

I stayed at the Salisbury for leisure my first time in New York. The staff was helpful when I needed assistance regarding a tour. I reserved a king bed but opted for a room with two double beds when I checked in to get the pantry which incluces a small refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. This a very handy amenity which I used. The location is great! Two blocks from central park, 1 1/2 block from 5th ave. shopping, Carnegie hall is up the block. Many sights are within walking distance of the hotel. I was able to buy tour tickets at the hotel desk and getting to the tour pick up was very easy. There are 24 hour pharmacy and a small market within walking distance of the hotel. The only thing I found that bugged me slightly was there was a piece of floss on the carpet that was not mine and a walnut piece by my bed. I would surely stay at the hotel again. The room size was the size of a room I would get here in california which I think was large for NYC.

This Hotel was an excellent value in an unbeatable location. The rooms were clean and well serviced. The rooms were comfortable, not busy, but stately and sterile. The hotel staff was extremely courteous and professional. For a midtown hotel room, the room was spacious. It had two huge closets with plenty of storage room. The streets were quiet at night and the beds were firm, but very comfortable. The rooms were older, this was evident mostly in the appearance of the bathroom. The bathroom was a little outdated but clean. My only complaint was with the varying water pressure in the shower and the shower curtain design causing the shower curtain to fall into a quarter of the shower space. (The curtain rod needs to curve out away from the shower/tub. It's silly but I don't like taking a shower with a wet shower curtain rubbing against me the entire shower). I also was bothered by room noise from nearby guests in the early and late nights. But, for the money, cleanliness, and location, I would recommend this hotel and look forward to visiting again.

Great location. Close to Central Park, subways and major attractions. Public areas could use some updating but lobby was pleasant and nicely decorated for Christmas. Some minor problems with the heat but rooms were big, clean and included refrigerator, microwave and LCD TV. Good value for the price.

The location is fabulous! Easy walk to metro (especially the E coming in from JFK), 2 blocks to Central Park, literally across the street from the Russian Tea Room and Carnegie Hall. In addition, great rooms and service for the price paid. I can't think of a better hotel for location, service and price. Will definitely stay here again when I go to NYC! I arrived earlier than expected and was immediately shown to my room. The bellman told me I had a suite as he opened the door for me - I thought they had made a mistake, but he said no. (I felt like I was impersonating someone as I was not expecting all this for the very reasonable rate I paid!) The bellman told me the hotel used to be apartments, hence the room set up: kitchette, sitting area, seperate sleeping area with two beds, a small bathroom and 4 closets. The suite was very charming with a vintage feel.

This hotel lives up to all of it's good reviews that you will read. We just stayed overnight, but the room was big, closet was big, bathroom was very clean, extra sink outside of bathroom with microwave and coffee maker, and safe in the closet. All of the staff was very helpful. Very reasonably priced!!

We chose the Salisbury based on the reviews left on this site. New York is an expensive place to stay and if your planning on sight seeing you won't spend much time in your room anyway! Its not the most up to date hotel but the room was large, clean and comfortable. Area is a good base for sight seeing and the breakfast is good value. The whole stay was great value for money and I would stay here again.

I've stayed here a number of times and will again. Its a typical NY hotel, somewhat older and a bit tired but frankly more than adequate at a fair price. Unless you're high maintenance, you should be fine here.

The hotel is a little dated, but very nice for the money.

The water in the shower could not remain hot. It ran from cold to hot the entire shower.

The staff satisfied everything I could have asked of them. They were knowledgeable about the surrounding location and were available to answer any questions I had. The room was clean, comfortable, and the location was superb. I could not have asked much more of a NYC Hotel.

The Salisbury hotel was a fantastic deal and very close to all the theatres and Central Park. The amount we paid and the quality we recieved was above and beyond what we expected. We were with a group of people and had a chance to see their rooms at other hotels and were shocked to see that they had a very small room and paid well above what we paid.

This is an old property that has seen its days of glory pass. But the staff is friendly, the location near Carnegie Hall great, any you cant beat the price.

The room we stayed in, was spacious a junior suite in some hotel.The living room area has a sofa bed which was used by my son at no added cost, other hotel would have allowed a folding bed as extra with additional fee.

The hotel is in a great location - only 2 blocks from Fifth Ave. We were able to walk to most places including the theaters, and there was a subway station a few blocks away where we could jump on the subway to our destination. The staff was very nice and answered all our questions concerning the area. Several restaurants are close by. Even though it is an older hotel, our room was comfortable, clean and spacious. We would definitely stay there again.

Because of the relatively cheap rate--I thought that I would bring my roach spray, sani wipes and bed bug spray (which I bring to every hotel anyway). I read the online reviews about the hotel being older and had some reservations. When I arrived (on my birthday--which had been a very difficult day up until that point), the hotel gave me a surprising upgrade to a suite on one of the upper floors. I found the lobby quaint and very homey--a nice change from the cold, impersonal other lobbies of the larger hotels. The age of the hotel was more charming than anything because I liked the baseboards, wooden doors and crown molding and ceiling detail. The continental breakfast was reasonably priced and quite adequate. Additionally, the small staff was friendly enough except for one person. I thought the hotel was in an excellent location and a great bargain for the money. I would definitely recommend this hotel based upon my experience there.

This is a great location if you are going to see any Broadway Shows. We were able to walk to both of ours shows, walk to Times Square, it's one block from Central Park, near a Metro stop, and the room we had was huge. I'm going to look for this hotel the next time I take a trip to NYC. It was a great experience. Only downside is No Free Wifi and my room had a view of the Alley.

Great location, friendly staff, nice sized rooms, and surprisingly quiet for mid-town.

We couldn't believe our luck finding a hotel 1 block from Central Park for such a low price, and decided that we'd be satisfied with it if it had a bed and a bathroom. Imagine our surprise to walk into a 2-room suite that could have slept 6 people! The hotel was older but very clean and with some modern amenities such as flat-screen tvs in both rooms. My only complaint was the noise - we were on the 7th floor and the noise from the street didn't quiet down until after 5am making it difficult for me to sleep after a night out on the town, but my boyfriend slept like a rock (go figure!). We will definitely stay here again if we get this deal again.

Adequate accomodations, great location. Need more hooks and towel racks and the room was too hot requiring the AC on (not very green).

I was surprised at how big the room was for the low price. We thought it was a mistake at first, but it was our room.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Salisbury. It is a great deal for NYC. The rooms are large and you cannot beat the location. Would definitely stay here again!

I loved the area this hotel was in. It was quite and the service was good. I am sure for NYC standards this is a nice hotel, but by Midwest standards it was about a Best Western quality. Bathroom was in need of update badly. But the room was large for NYC had a microwave and a refrigerator and the beds were comfortable but small. The breakfast was satisfactory and a good start for $6. Don't expect hot food though mainly ceral, doughnuts and bagels.

The Hotel is a little old but the room was very nice...and very big. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the upgrade to a suite..that was very nice. I would stay there again!

We stayed Nov 21-28 2009. The hotel decor is out dated. However, other than that it was fantastic. They offer a great breakfast for only $6.00 a person which is a fantastic price in NYC. My sister stayed at Park Central a blk away and even though its newer and has modern decor she did not like it at all. They did not offer the room amenties that the Salisbury offered; such as coffee pot,fridge,pantry sink,microwave & (2) large closets. She wished she had stayed at our hotel. When I visit NYC again I will definitley stay at the Salisbury. I can not understand the star rating it should be higher...

The rooms were roomy and all needs were met. It doesn't have the frills of a Hilton, and we liked it that way. Great location for shows.

It was a nice, comfortable room. The only issue I had was the noise coming out of the air conditioner. Since we were on the second to highest floor the room has rather warm for the time of year, Thanksgiving Day eve. The air conditioner motor sounded like it was train rumbling down the track. Good thing I was tired because it would have been difficult to sleep. Either because the room was to hot or the air consitioner was to loud.

We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. A great little hotel in a terrific location at a very reasonable price. The staff was extremely courteous, friendly and helpful. We'll come back.

This hotel was in a fabulous location and the staff were great. The rooms were huge by NY standards. The place needs a little facelift though -- the lobby could use some new carpeting and paint, but otherwise, the rooms were cleaned and fairly well maintained. I would definetly come stay here again!!

If you don't mind a no frills lobby, this hotel is the best deal around. I can't vouch for the other rooms in the hotel, but the one we stayed in was very clean and unbelievably spacious. We had two bedrooms, two baths, a small dining area and large living room. WOW, what a treat! All within walking distance to Central Park and great restaurants. All of the staff was extremely helpful and courteous as well. I will definitely stay here again during our next trip to NYC.

What a deal...the Hotel is perfectly situated for plays,Opera,Museums and Central Park...how could you go wrong? The staff is friendly and helpful...the rooms large and clean and did I mention the location? A great place at an unbelievable price What a bargin

The Salisbury Hotel was a great location - walking distance to shops, attractions, Central Park. The staff were nice and helpful. Drawbacks - room very musty, smelled like smoke, even though there was a nonsmoking sign. The closet smelled terrible. Elevator did not work for a bit, which meant walking down more than ten flights. Overall, mixed review, but given how expensive hotels are in NY, this was a good deal, I guess.

This is the second time in the past year I have stayed at the Salisbury Hotel through Hotels.com. Both times I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a very comfortable hotel that while a tad "worn" in places, is nonetheless EXTREMELY comfortable, clean, nicely staffed and situated in a vibrant neighborhood. Each time, I was upgraded to a large, well-equipped suite, an amazing value for the price. The only drawback is that rooms on the street side are noisy.....but earplugs can help that. I always look for this hotel on Hotel.com's website when booking a room, and am disappointed when it is not available for the dates I travel.

I loved it.

This is a older hotel but in a good location for walking and discovering museums,Times Square, Central Park etc. Plan to spend some time.

The room is just fine, bed comfy, everything clean. A breakfast voucher is slipped under the door, you go to the 3rd floor and find out it's $6 per person. After scalding my tongue on the first sip of coffee (in a paper cup), I left without eating any of the sugary donuts or bagels, without cream cheese. It's NY, how could there not be cream cheese with the bagels? Otherwise, it was fine.
