Intimate, European-style boutique hotel in the Theater District
This intimate, European-style hotel is a contrast to its surrounding neighborhoods -- the showy and loud Theater District and Times Square. Where Midtown Manhattan is big and loud, the Mayfair New York Hotel is cozy and understated. Amenities include a business center and around-the-clock concierge service. Special touches such as fresh flowers in the rooms are unexpected in a property of this size.
Highlights
  • Around-the-clock concierge service
  • Next to the Eugene O'Neill Theater
  • Near theaters, Times Square entertainment and shopping
Location

The hotel puts guests steps away from Broadway shows. The Mayfair New York Hotel is adjacent to the Eugene O'Neill Theater and a block from the Gershwin Theater. Carnegie Hall, Central Park and Rockefeller Center are a short walk. The nearest subway station is one block away.

Rooms

Unwind in European-style rooms that feature toile wallpaper, custom-designed mahogany furniture and fine linens. Some rooms have marble bathrooms. Rooms are equipped with hairdryers, ironing boards and complimentary wall safes. Rooms with a computer and printers are available upon request.

Features

Famed Theater District and Times Square restaurants are near the hotel. Ellen's Stardust Diner on Broadway is open all day and features classics like meatloaf and chicken potpie and a singing waitstaff. Gallagher's Steakhouse serves classic New York steakhouse specialties include dry-aged steak and lobster for lunch and dinner. Visit Bobby Flay's Bar Americain for star chef power.

Not for people with claustrophobia!

When my mom just entered the room, she started screaming that she would rather sleep in the lobby. The room was so ridiculously small, almost like in a submarine. Obviously, if you have claustrophobia it is not recommended.

Renewal of 49th Street

I well remember the urban decay during the Koch/Trump years,(though I do have a soft spot for the Mayor)when homelessness proliferated and the filth took over that area. The Mayfair is BACK -yes, rooms are TEENY,the heating/cooling is old, there isn't wifi, but there IS a sense of history,of ghosts of theatre visitors past and a gentility that comes with a building that has LIVED...The staff were warm and caring, the building was CLEAN...Will go there again!

Great Stay

Hotel was great and so was the staff. Only issue was the Budget Parking that they recommended, price I was given was not the price I was charged. Parking garage attends were rude. I was quoted a price of $25.00 for 24 hours and was charged $40.00 when I was parked there for less then 18 hours. Other then that the stay was great!

Visit to NY at Mayfair

We were greeted curbside and unloaded, but the front desk staff was not as welcoming as they should be. It is an old hotel, so my expectations weren't high. The room was average clean, but smaller than expected. We were there to help with the Sandy Relief effort and basically needed to shower and sleep. The bath was small with little area to work with. We would stay there again because of the location and the cost.

just a place close to Times Square

The hotel is cheaper than other ones, and so you should not expect anything! I had previously stayed at another hotel in the same area before, and it was only 20-30$ more but much better in all aspects. Pros: 5 minutes to Times square Cons: Tiny room, very bad mattress, not very polite staff at front desk.

Only Location

Hotel's location is perfect, room is ordinary but really small. You can't get sleep, if air conditioner is open, they really need to fix it.

Unbeatable price, excellent location

The hotel has an excellent location, just a couple of blocks away from the Times Square and you pay for what you get or probably more. Clean, staff´s really friendly and helpful and you won´t get something better for that price. The only negative point ius that the bedrooms are really small.
