Historical Traveller Reviews of Kimberly Hotel
wonderful choice!
from ortley
Surprised my husband with a birthday weekend in NY. Chose the kimberly from user reviews and a great deal at hotels. It exceeded expectations - the spaciousness, the balcony, the staff. Some of the perks include passes to NY Health & Racquet club a couple of blocks away with a great pool/sauna/whirlpool. for working off that fabulous breakfast buffet). Several subway lines and the crosstown busses on 49/50 make this very convenient for low cost getting about. If you need a cab, just call down ahead and concierge will arrange it - they were always more than willing to help - for ex. our smoke alarm battery was beeping, maint. was there in less than 5 minutes.
If your looking for space, cleanliness and a smile, (without needing luxe in furnishings) visit the Kimberly...... Couldn't figure out "The Vue" next door - is it a nightclub, bar, restaurant - ??? Doorman/bouncers looked ominous.
Wonderful Stay
from A TripAdvisor Member
We had a wonderful stay at the Kimberley Suites Hotel. Our room was spacious and very clean. It was great to have a bedroom separate from the kids and a kitchen (although we didn't use it). The staff was kind and helpful and the ajoining restraunt had a fabulous buffet breakfast for only $10. We were there for pleasure for only 2 nights but I can certainly see staying here on an extended stay for business (or pleasure, if Manhattan's your thing). The ONLY down fall was that it was very difficult to get a cab in the rain, so leave early if you have a curtain or reservation to make.
Great for families
from rcreid
Stayed 5 days and couldn't have been happier! Rained one full day of our vacation but the spacious living area and kitchen felt more like home watching TV than stuck in a hotel room. The balcony was a great bonus! Bathroom was rather small but the rest of the amenities made up for it. Clean, good price for the area, great location and very friendly staff. Will stay there again.
My Favorite New York Hotel!
from A TripAdvisor Member
I loved this hotel! It is far superior to better known hotels in the area. The value much exceeds the reasonable price. The hotel is quiet (for Manhattan), my suite was very nicely furnished, large and luxurious. The high speed internet connection and laptop-sized room safe were a great advantage. I was quite pleased with everyone I met on the hotel staff. This is a small, boutique hotel (by New York standards), and with a living room and kitchen, I felt that I could "come home" at night more than anywhere else I've ever stayed in New York. There was simply not one negative thing I saw in a four-night stay at this very lovely hotel, and I have only good things to say about it. A rare treasure!
Excellent condo hotel
from A TripAdvisor Member
Well maintained hotel coverted from former condo building.
Understand it was rehabed completed within past 4 years.
Very comfortble, amenities good. All come with small kitchen and dining areas, high speed internet lines, etc. In upper east side of Midtown, one block to east side subway lines. Rates are reasonable for NYC, but get far better prices from hotel websites as hotel just refuses to "deal".
Outstanding
from A TripAdvisor Member
I travel to NYC every six weeks and have found a new home.The Kimberly Hotel is wonderful. The staff is great and always remembers my name. It has a great location and large suites. It is like being at home. I spend about 30 nigths a year in NYC and would not stay anywhere else. Highly recommend.
Loved The Kimberly
from A TripAdvisor Member
We stayed at The Kimberly May 13-16 and from the time we arrived we were treated great. The entire staff was wonderful. Our room (1 bdrm with a terrace) was quite roomy and pleasant (there were 4 of us). We ate at the restaurants outside tables and had a blast with the staff. The food was good. We wished we could have stayed longer and we will go back.
What a great hotel!
from A TripAdvisor Member
Made my first visit to NY 3-18 to 3-21. Had a 2 bedroom suite. It was wonderful! The bathrooms are clean and well stocked with goodies. Had a problem with the heat in one bedroom. Dont really think they fixed it, but opened the window.The suite was very spacious. Even had a doorbell! Nice to have a kitchen. The location is great. On a quiet street, yet close enough to everything you would want to see! The staff was very friendly.The consierge was great! The big plus was the balcony! What fun to sit out on nite in the city that never sleeps! Only had breakfast at George Oneil's. It was very good and almost too pretty to eat! Would surely recomend this hotel to anyone.
Kimberly is great
from RandyandKat
The Kimberly was outstanding. First we flew into Newark and since there were six of us, they clued us in to a Limo Service (Ask for Ralph 718-823-4350 GQ Limo $175 included tax) as it was cheaper than two taxis and didn't have the hassle of a shuttle. The rooms were killer. We had one with two double beds and a pull out couch (Sleeps like any pull out - Not like your bed at home but ok) and another one with a King and a pull out. Full kitchen. Very clean. Decent bathrooms (small but tidy). The living room and dining area were excellent and the best was that they put us across the hall from each other so we just left our doors open and ran back and forth. I think there are only 6-8 rooms on each floor and the people at the front desk and concierge desk were top notch customer service. There is a deli around the corner that will blow your socks off (Azure). On weekdays it has everything you can think of and was outstanding. Concierge also recommended Umbertos in Little Italy which has excellent food and a decent price - There is even a fun karaoke bar around the corner. Have fun in NYC and enjoy the Kimberly - It will not disappoint.
Great location, nice room, fair price
from A TripAdvisor Member
We just returned from 3 nights at the Kimberly. After a slight glitch checking in (there were no rooms with king beds so we had to upgrade to a larger room), we were very happy with our surroundings for the three days. A stone's throw from all we wanted to see - including great shopping on Fifth Avenue, Central Park etc. (and a wonderful mexican restaurant called Mama Mexicano, one street away opposite Pampanos).
Fantastic service. Very helpful staff. Spacious room. Would definitely return again ...
Top Local Tips for New York City
Check out near-by neighborhoods
The staff was great at recommending nearby resturants that were right on with what we wanted to experience as well as guiding us to a grocery. For a little extra treat go have the breakfast buffet at Oscars in the Waldorf Astoria and ask to be seated at Daria's station. She is the most fantastic waitress in NYC!!!
driving
unless you have driven in manhattan before i highly recommend you don't do it. especially during rush hour. I almost had a heart attack! Other than that its very exciting!!
