No title - expert review It’s understandable why so few first-time visitors know what to make of this hotel. After all, the U-shaped driveway is so clogged with Jaguars, BMWs and Range Rovers that visitors often think they’ve arrived at a high-end auto dealership. In fact, the indomitable Queen Leona has made sure... gayot.com

Time for a facelift - user review Stayed at the Helmsley last week on business and the room was just tired. As I rode down on the elevator, I laughed with some other guests at how old the interiors looked. Time to spend some cash and replace the stale bedpreads and draperies at least. The... brooklyn.citysearch.com
A Rip Off - user review The thermostat offered "on" (for boiling hot) and "off" (for merely uncomfortable). The carpet was fairly new, but was not attached to the floor at the baseboards.Showers were intolerable. The water cycled from scalding to ice cold with no touch of the knobs. The laptop connectio... brooklyn.citysearch.com
I´ve seen better - user review After hearing about Leona Helmsley and her hotel empire I had some fairly high expectations for this hotel. I didn't choose to stay there my employer's travel agent did. I had originally chosen the Grand Hyatt but the Helms... epinions.com
The WORST hotel I´ve ever experienced! - user review I stayed here for one week and a half and hated every minute of it. Gave me free Internet, only to find out later their server was down. Concierge was rude and gave dirty looks when asked for help with my luggage, or when I needed help with expecting packages. Room service got my order wrong all 5 t... epinions.com
New York Helmsley - user review Just recently stay there on May 21 24. I had read the reviews prior to my stay and I have to say that the three reviews that I read were very accurate. Upon check in (about 3pm) we were assigned a room. My wife and I are not ... epinions.com
Sleeping With "The Queen of Mean" - user review Leona Helmsley is for sure the queen of mean when they say she runs a tight ship and gets things done to please her. She shouldn't have it any other way either, because a stay at the Helmsley Hotel has always been one of the mo... epinions.com
Not Worth Four Stars - user review We really question how this hotel can merit four stars. Last week we spent four nights there. This is what happened: On arrival, the surly staff ignored us as we tried to check in. After we finally did and went to the room, the door handle fell off in my hand. In the room, the shades were broken; th... epinions.com

Would definately return - user review After reading many good reviews about this hotel I decided to give it a try. We made an excellent choice.

The rooms ... expedia.com
It was probably great in the 80’s - user review But it's still there. The rooms need to be updated. The windows need to be fixed or updated so they close. Bathroom fixtures need to be updated so they don't drip all day/night. The rooms were as clean as possible, but with old furnishings/draperies/coverlets, there is only so much that can be done.... expedia.com
Good enough - user review Clean enough, nice enough staff, good enough location slightly too expensive. The Helmsley is a good enough pseudo upscale hotel with its most endearing quality being its location just 2 blocks from Grand Central station. Great views if you can get a corner room.

Worst hotel ever! - user review Dead bolt did not work at all. Sheets on the bed were too small for the bed and kept bunching up all night.

Eh - user review The staff was very courteous. Check in was a breeze and when I saw that they were tunring off the water from 11PM to 5AM I asked if I could get a bottle of water and immediately got two. The hotel itself is nothing to write home about. I had three pieces of generic hotel art in my room and all three... expedia.com
Reasonable midtown choice - user review This was a reasonable choice for midtown. It was within a comfortable walk to Grand Central Station, Times Square and Bloomingdales.

excellent choice for a hotel - user review This was our third time staying at the New York Helmsley. We love it because it's clean, with good service.
