This was a lovely old hotel and a remarkably peaceful oasis just off the chaos of Times Square. Great location to walk to Broadway shows and very good subway and Grand Central Station access. To a person, the staff were warm and helpful. We will definitely return. The only bump we ran into was there's no QR code available in the room to facilitate tipping housekeeping staff - they're amazing, so being prepared for that gap is recommended.

“Great stay”

I've stayed at the hotel 4 or 5 times and love it. The location is excellent; especially if your focus is theater. It's convenient to the theaters, subway and many restaurants.

“Amazing Hotel”

Amazing place to stay. Very nice and clean hotel. Staff was professional, very helpful, and fun. I will stay here everytime I go to NYC. The breakfast / snack was nice to use for snacks before or during the day. The staff helped us find amazing restaurants and the best way to get around town.

We are a family of four and choose the Casablanca Hotel, New York due to its additional bedroom with sofa bed, so our two teenage children could have individual beds. The hotel is superbly located a few steps from Times Square but is still quiet. The staff were always polite and friendly and any minor concerns we had were addressed immediately. Unfortunately, the room we were allocated was at the back of the hotel and even though spacious, all the windows were glazed over making it dark with no natural light. We were unable to open the windows. There were fans and air con units in the room, but this did not make up for the lack of fresh air. The bathroom window could be opened slightly and we could see the view was a closed in courtyard full of bins, with each of the four building walls of the quadrant pumping out stale air conditioning. In the morning, one of these units strongly pumped out the smell of bacon, from obviously cooking breakfasts. I dread to think about of rats which were down there with over ten bins and rubbish. The hotel was also very old (worn carpet and decor). We thought before we arrived it would reflect the look of the Casablanca film time but still be fairly new, however this was not so. The lifts were old and the stair case on the upper floors spooky looking with draped curtains and dark wood. The hotel and house keeping were excellent though and the room was very clean. The two double beds were queen size which was disappointing as we expected king size doubles. The breakfast was very basic with no hot food. Only cereal, bagels, croissants and yogurts. In summary, this hotel is old and dark but location wins through if you are happy with a basic choice rather than luxury.
