Hotel Scherman, hotel in New York (New York)

Hotel Scherman is a boutique hotel in midtown Manhattan. All rooms feature pillow-top mattresses and guests will have access to daily newspapers and housekeeping services A continental breakfast is...

We loved staying at the Hotel Sherman; this historic, boutique hotel knows its charm, and does everything right! To begin with, the location is ideal when visiting NYC for theater and good food! This block of W. 46th, between 8th and 9th Avenue, is in the heart of "Restaurant Row," close enough to Times Square to please younger family members, but just removed enough for a good night's sleep. An unexpected highlight for us: discovering a true NYC gem, Swing 46, right across the street! Additionally, one is near the best of the Hell's Kitchen area, (Can one get enough of Amy's Bread, the Amish Market, or Empanada Mama??) while Rockefeller Center is an easy short walk away as well. I have stayed in several different hotels in Manhattan over the years, and Hotel Sherman exceeded our expectations for location, indulgent comfort, excellent hospitality, and amenities. Private rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, our beds were incredibly comfortable, our 4th floor view was fabulous, and we appreciated our access to the rooftop terrace and even having breakfast under an open sky view - yes, in January! I imagine a stay at the Hotel Sherman in warmer months would be even more enjoyable. Worth adding: the pubic spaces are gorgeous as well - I highly recommend having a drink at its bar, The Backstage Tavern. Perhaps the best comment is saved for last: warm and generous hospitality can make or break a hotel experience, and the staff - everyone we met - was absolutely lovely, attentive, and gracious. We will definitely return!

    Lovely boutique hotel in a great location for sightseeing and generally having good accessibility to all neighbourhoods we wanted to visit via Grand Central. Comfortable rooms given the location. The lounge was a great space to spend time in given the rooms were small, the tea, coffee and snacks and quiet space was a great additional space to be able to use. Friendly and helpful staff as well and good housekeeping.

    Great location, close to 50th street train station and Time Square!! Excellent facilities and services from reception staff 👍 Quiet room is the best!! Not many hostels care about the quality sleep of the guests but Nap York does care and I fully support their policies to keep up with the hostel quality. Highly recommended!! 🌟

    Leo House is a charming old fashioned New York City style guesthouse. Situated in a good neighborhood only 50 meter from a blue line metro station (23rd street). Quiet at night and the guesthouse provides a fine continental breakfast and outdated but clean rooms. Staff is friendly and helpful. We liked it. Good spot to discover the city center. My choice for next time!
