Thimble Islands Cheap Holidays

Lovely hotel. Would recommend to anyone visiting New York.

I had sent two messages to the hotel to check that I had booked the right room type to see the full view ranging from the Brooklyn Bridge, city skyline and all the way to the Statue of Liberty. It is my fault for not following up for a response because I ended up having to choose between the room they gave me (bridge view only) or partial skyline and statue. I chose the statue view but was disappointed as I paid the amount I did expecting the full view. My mistake, not the hotel’s but if you send a message requiring a response, you may not get one. My advise - FOLLOW UP!!! Also, if you have a camera that is anything other than an iPhone, they will not let you use it on the property (from the outside at least). There is mention of this on their website (if it would occur to you to check for such things) but it merely states that no professional photography is permitted without a contract with the property (it does not however state that a camera cannot be used at all) so I was again disappointed to find that this extends to using a hand held fairly basic camera. Most people use their phones I realize, but this is something to be aware of if you plan to use an actual camera or God forbid any type of zoom lense to capture the amazing view. The elevator keys are temperamental and on one occasion I was trapped in the elevator until someone else entered but the staff I encountered were all really friendly and overall it is a really nice hotel in a great location.

Such a beautiful hotel and perfect location of exploring the city! The Gold Room bar is such a gem. Looking forward to staying here again soon with my family!

Top location, great restaurant and bar, nice clean rooms, friendly guest services. Strongly recommended!

Great breakfast, super clean and organized!

Love the hotel especially the design and decor. Staff is so nice and professional. Room service food is excellent. The only negative is the lack of an in-house gym. Would stay again.

We had a great time at the hotel but unfortunately our room was in a very low floor so we could not appreciate the view.

Me and my significant other have stayed at the Plaza/St. Regis/Ritz Carlton and 5 star hotels all over the planet. This was by far the best service/view/experience/food I’ve ever had. There’s Luxury and then there’s Mandarin Oriental Luxury.

Just what I was looking for: convenient, easy access, clean , the basics with no extra was needed

The valet staff and Pablo, one of the drivers, were the absolute best! They were the most helpful. The check-in staff (two younger females) were less than friendly and seemed to be bothered by the guests no matter who they were. Location was great, rooms were spacious (compared to typical NYC rooms), the lobby is great! Would stay again.

Amazing Property, vibrant part of the city. I would highly recommend..
