Great room for the money

Knowing what I know about NYC hotel rooms, I was expecting a very small room with no view or even no window. I was pleasently surprised that it was a nice sized room with all the normal ammenities. We even had a big window with a view and I didn't pay extra to get it. A couple of times we called to get another blanket & pillows and they promptly got them to us. The front desk was curtious. The bell men were quick to respond to our requests. The only negitive thing I can say is that the bathrooms were very small and old. There was no fan to circulate the air and it had this hot pipe (I guess you could call it) right by the sink that emitted this heat and made it too hot to be in at times but we dealt with it. I would stay again because the location was GREAT for the price of the room!

Needs Improvement

Perfect location but furniture in room needs updating; doors prevented more than one person to view the TV and that was achieved by sitting on the bed; water came directly out of one shower faucet instead of straight down like the rest. Pleasant lobby and only charged 50 cents per bag to hold for the day.

Excellent Location, Pleasant Stay!

I wasn't sure what to expect from The Edison Hotel, based on the mixed reviews here. But wanting an affordable hotel in the Times Square area, I decided to take a chance. I was very pleasantly surprised. Let me first state that "old" does not mean "dirty". This is an older hotel featuring older furniture and decor. But our room was spacious and exceptionally clean. Beds were amazingly comfortable. Staff was VERY friendly and helpful. And if you want to be in the heart of Times Square, this is the place to be. The Edison is a charming hotel with much history. It's convenient to everything. We had a delicious breakfast in the Edison Cafe. I was extremely pleased with The Edison Hotel and will most definitely stay there again.

Location is great

The location was perfect. But you get what you pay for. There were no light switches in the rooms. The Bathroom needs to be updated terribly!!! Besides that, it was okay. If you need a place to sleep and dont care about the bells and whistles you get from other hotels then stay there.

The Edison Hotel

Very well situated near Times Square-- staff was efficient and polite and service was very good. Condition of the hotel was slightly run down--furnishings and paint somewhat old. Along with a good location went a lot of outside street noise--pretty loud until 12 midnight

Edison Hotel

I like the location of this Hotel. It's an old building, but is taken care of. Rooms are small but I didn't go to NYC to spend time in the room. On Times Square in the Theatre District. The tub wasn't as clean as I would have liked. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

If all you need is to be near Time Square & sleep

This was perfect for my brief stay in NYC. The hotel was conveniently located. The room was small, but we didn't care cause we only needed it to sleep.

Great value for its location

The Edison may be the best-located hotel in New York City for the price, directly adjacent to Times Square. It's not fancy, but has a nice lived-in feel and was more than adequate for my needs, traveling alone and staying for a long weekend.
