Loved the location of hotel and convenience of several subway stations. Room was great and with a balcony. All the staff and management were wonderful, very helpful and kind. We travel to NY several times a year and have always like trying out new hotels, but liked the Giraffe so much we plan on making it our hotel choice for future trips.

Hotel Giraffe was a great find and was perfect for my family's stay in New York. We stayed in a 1 bed suite with sofabed. The room was great - very clean and spacious Having the continental breakfast option was such a boon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at Audace adjacent to the hotel and had a meal that we'll be raving about for a long time! Delicious! I'd highly recommend this propery and will definitely stay at it again on any future visits to New York.
