“Incredible staff, hotel, and location”

Sep 14, 2025woode221

I was in New York for a very close friend’s funeral, and Diane (the concierge) went above and beyond during such a hard time. She helped me navigate transportation, offered the chance to refresh even after the funeral and checkout before heading to the airport, and showed such genuine compassion that I felt supported not just as a guest, but as a person-as a human. Her professionalism, kindness, and humanity truly set this hotel apart, and because of her alone, I would return without hesitation. From the first day, she greeted my daughter and me with warmth and remembered our names throughout the trip. I also noticed how she treated others with that same care, always making sure people felt comfortable and considered. The entire staff was wonderful as well: attentive, kind, and professional. The hotel was spotless, and the location couldn’t be better.

“New York New York”

Everything was wonderful. From the moment we walked in we were taken care of. The staff from check in to bell hop to housekeeping were all very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be working there. We especially want to give a shout out to the Concierge desk and staff. We had an unfortunate incident outside the hotel on our second day and they saw what was happening and swept us back inside to handle the situation, we believe their quick action saved what could have been a very bad incident. It's a big city and unsuspecting tourist can easily be taken advantage of. This in no way reflects negatively upon the Knickerbocker. We loved our stay and felt very at "home" while visiting this great city.

“Knickerbocker doesn’t disappoint!”

We enjoyed our stay at the Knickerbocker. The room was large in comparison to most NYC hotels. It’s right in the heart of Times Square but surprisingly quiet. Beds were comfortable and staff is very friendly.
