Great location! Historic hotel with great stories and staff. Monkey Bar not to be missed.

This hotel is special. This hotel is unique.

Great character

Classic style

Excellent location and nice facilities. There is a lounge that provides free snacks and drinks.

Unique property with lovely rooms and club room stocked with complimentary food and drinks

Hotel looks good but is old. You can smell a very old scent in the room and in the hallway. And there are not many outlets to plug things in, especially by the bed. If you want to use the refrigerator, you should ask to bring it. The refrigerator in the room does not work and it is dirty. But the hotel is located in the shopping area and near central park.

It had an old world elegance that was beautiful

Very surprising stay at a traditional iconic hotel. Comfortable and convenient with lots of pleasant and helpful service. Would recommend and stay again!

Comfy warm friendly excellent staff who went out of their way to accomodate. Outstanding value

Felt as if you were staying in someone's house.

The Elysée is an old hotel that hasn't kept itself up enough to be charming. I had to have lights on to see around the room during daytime. To me it was depressing. The only good part was the staff, they were very welcoming. But I wouldn't recommend it or stay there again

Well situated lovely Hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful, the open- to - all- guests - Club Room is outstanding.... Snacks and Beverages 24/7, very distinguished atmosphere with classical music in the background. We loved that little piece of the "Old-World" and its flair. No complaints.

Great hotel especially with the food options on the 2nd floor. Spacious rooms and friendly staff.

Subtly high end. Room was swank and beautiful. Breakfast room was great way to start the day with super cappuccino machine. Real deal! And The Monkey Bar restaurant in the hotel is not to be missed. A historic place that oozed stories of famed diners and great service and delicious food. Pricey yet worth every penny

This is my second time staying here. What a lovely, relaxing, convenient place to stay. Walking distance from Grand Central Station. Great price. I will continue to stay at this hotel when I need to get away!

Property is dated and in desperate need of renovations. Poor continental breakfast as it contained mostly sugary pastries. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will seek another hotel next time.

The service was excellent. It is an older hotel, but the ambience is very cozy and the people/employees are very friendly and warm. Location was also great.

Love this charming hotel. 2nd flour lounge is key. Rooms graciously appointed. Love the location.

I travel to nyc often and have stayed all over, but I think I've finally found my home away from home. This hotel is an absolute gem. The executive lounge was the perfect place to start and get work done between meetings for the week I was there. It is stocked with freshly grinded expresso, coffee, fantastic chips and cliff / granola bars, fruit, water, sift drinks, and more all day. At breakfast, add in a very large assortment of pasteries, yogurt, and more. The attendents are amazing. A 24-hour doorman is always there to welcome you (George is beyond amazing), the rooms are super special with fresh flowers and real paintings.There is plentyy of room and it is super swank in the best of ways. Everything is spotless and well cared for. I had an armoire that was probably 100 years old in my room, and it was in superb shape. Yes, character ages, but I simply love most everything about the hotel too. Super quiet even right next to the elevator yet central to everything you could want. More than 5 stars.

Incredible spacious rooms and the legendary monkey bar downstairs, flawless service majes this my go to nyc hotel !

spacious rooms, great location

As always it was very good. Great location and very nice staff. The breakfast rooms on the 2nd floor are excellent

Hotel Elysee is a great place. Problem was that the HVAC in the room did not work, so I had a warm and uncomfortable night

Lovely staff, nice decor, 24 hour snacks and continental breakfast included in charming library.

Clean and comfortable, this hotel is a charming respite. Stayed here for business and pleasure and have always found the service to be exceptional.

The whole hotel looks tired, classy but needs a facelift.

Comfortable, familiar classic Manhattan hotel with legendary Monkey Bar. Staff was exceptional helpful and attentive plus public areas with longe on second floor was great for relaxing, meeting friends and providing snacks all day. Some areas looked a little tired and could do with a refresh. Bathroom was small but adequate for our needs.

Hotel Elysee is located in a very central location in midtown east - nearby offices, shopping, museums and is in the perfect spot. The hotel also has a great restaurant/bar called the Monkey Bar. The breakfast is also complimentary and pretty good. However, the rooms and hallways need a serious upgrade and feel pretty old and worn out.

Love the decor. Excellent experience.

An old hotel located in the center of midtown Manhattan with the turn of the last century vibe. I was a bit unhappy when first finding out my room was just an inch away from the elevator! But all the uneasiness immediately faded away once I entered the room which has an interesting structure and interior design making it devoid of any potential outside noise. Having a cozy club room on the second floor for all guests was a big plus. One drawback for being an old hotel, though, is it has no central air con and the air conditioner on the window is quite loud!
