This hotel is an excellent alternative to staying at a major chain. Having been recently remodeled, the rooms are nicely appointed and well kept. Do not think however, that the rates are going to be much less than other major chains or other nicer boutique hotels. To their credit however, the rates in all of NYC have gone up substantially... more

As a New York resident, I was suspect about staying in a New York hotel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hotel Giraffe was the perfect option after getting engaged. The room was spacious, clean and beautiful, we were given a bottle of prosecco after we noted our engagement and, because we arrived so late, we were "upgraded by necessity" into a suite.... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Giraffe for 6 nights sightseeing and shopping at the end of May 2008. It was our first visit to New York and we chose the hotel after reading the reviews in Trip Advisor. Location: The hotel is centrally located in Midtown near a subway station, close to the Flatiron building and not... more

I really wanted to love this hotel. It is across the street from the office that I came here to visit on my business trip and in a great part of town. The reviews from past travelers sounded wonderful. And the hotel itself is very nice...extremely clean, very decent sized rooms that are tastefully decorated. Good sized bathrooms with marble... more

Check in is easy, and the staff will take care of your needs. The hotel includes the basics - a nice, small lobby with... more

We stayed here due to a discount for a friends wedding, and after staying at 4-5 other hotels on previous trips I have to say, I'll never stay any where else. The rooms are a good size and well equipped, the breakfast was perfect, and the wine and cheese a great way to start the evening. Roof Bar was also... more

This was our 3rd visit to the Giraffe. You can count on good service, clean moderately sized rooms with some upgrades, a daily continental breakfast and a daily wine and cheese reception in the large main lobby area (except Sunday). You are a two minute walk to a subway station on the green line so you can be in upper... more

This was the fourth time staying at the Giraffe and it continues to be wonderful. The rooms are very comfortable and nicely appointed with great amenities - flat screens, ipod docking stations, cable, etc. The staff is always courteous and very helpful. We absolutely love the breakfast that is included with the room - fabulous bagels, pastries, cereal, fresh fruit,... more
