The Avalon Hotel

“The best hotel in New York, very close—indeed, I could even say directly opposite—the Empire State Building. Nearby there is a wide variety of Korean shops, Japanese restaurants, fast-food places, and all kinds of stores. It is very close to Saks Avenue and also very close to all of New York’s main attractions. It is also very close to Rockefeller Center and very close to Macy’s, for ladies who wish to do some shopping, as there is a very large shopping center. So, it is an extremely well-located hotel; the food is enchanting, absolutely outstanding, and the staff are also outstanding. I felt very good; I would repeat this experience at this hotel

Wonderful experience! Management and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are very nice and inviting considering the size. Come on, how many other hotels do you know of that have two TVs?... In the same room! We had a blast. I did take exception of the elevators as you have to just be patient and wait. Other than that, thumbs up. Thanks everyone.

Room, location and service were great. Comfy beds. The family suite was spacious with great large bathroom. The gym was sufficient. However, breakfast left much to be desired. You had to search hard to find a clean bowl. Not a lot of food options, mediocre fruit and coffee, and only one type of milk. Also, elevators were painfully slow.

The location was fantastic, do close to the Empire State building and all subway stations, making it an extremely convenient location. At night the Korean restaurants around the hotel are a delicious, inviting smell. The rooms and bathrooms are aged but very clean and function perfectly fine. We were delighted by the free hot cocoa/tea/coffee as we had a winter stay and it was chilly outside. We were welcomed each time we entered the lobby by friendly and awesome employees. Overall I would give this hotel an 11/10 stars. Magnificent all around.

At first they gave us a room on the 3rd floor (which I wouldn’t recommend, because being so close to the street, it can sometimes be noisy), and we had some issues with the sofa bed and with the restaurant next to us in which when they were cooking, literally the smell came directly into the room. That’s why we asked, if possible, to be moved to an upper level. One of the managers heard our complaint and very kindly arranged a room at the 12th floor, with an awesome street view and 2 king size beds, a living area, and a bathroom third times the size as the old one. We didn’t pay for breakfast, but I think that in the price there are 2 included, and we were 3. It’s located very central, 2 minutes away from the Empire State Building, very close to the metro station and good restaurants. Ever
