Vurderinger Hotell Surrey *****

The Surrey Hotel is more of a residential hotel for elderly New Yorkers. The rooms are big but tired. There is no bar, breakfast facility or a "working" lobby.

Expensive, but worth it because of the location. Staff was extremely courteous and knowledgable. Saved me money on parking and they had no problem hailing a cab for us.

We always try to stay in the Surrey for the following reasons:

1. Location - close to Central Park and the East Side Historic District where we have family friends.

2. Staff - about the most positive, helpful, friendly staff around ... and this is anywhere, not just New York City.

3. Price ... Rates are high for anywhere else, but very good value in New York. Room furnishings are a bit run down but no more so than you would find at home. And the rooms are huge, with kitchenettes that can really help cut the food bill of a visitor.

I have found the Surrey hotel a true gem, because of its location. The hotel is old but very clean and the service is very good. I fully recommend this hotel.

Wonderful location very close to Central Park, our room was great, the staff were top class, I would book here again, a real find.

The decor was very dated but overall it was a great value and an even better location. The room was large and comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at The Surrey; it was the perfect place for our trip. I would highly recommend it as a family-stay hotel. First, we were impressed by how huge the room was: My husband and I lived in New York for several years, and none of our apartments even approached the size of my renovated suite - a large living area, with a full-size dining table, sleeper sofa, two chairs, coffee table, and television armoire plus lots of room to roam;a tiny kitchenette with microwave, toaster, and refrigerator well-stocked with dishes and glassware for four; a large bedroom with king-size bed, full-size dresser, and more than one wing chair for seating; a reasonably-sized bath and shower, nothing spectacular, but clean and not too tiny, with ample towels, a medicine cabinet, and a blow-drier; and, the incredible plus - two walk-in closets that would be large by any standards,with lots of hanging space, shelf space, a small safe with key lock, and shoe shelves. I was there on a mother-daughter trip with my 5-year-old daughter, so the enormous suite was a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of New York. I've stayed in lots of hotels in New York, and the room was literally three to four times the size of any I've had before (usually for much more money). While it's not a high-fashion, sleek room, the pieces were comfortable and attractive, and it's a nice home-away-from home feeling. Room service at night is provided by Cafe Bouloud, Daniel Bouloud's more casual outpost; we didn't get to take advantage of it, but the menu looked divine!

The staff, to a person, was very, very friendly and anxious to please. They greeted us warmly each day and offered help in multiple ways. The room was always perfectly tidy - we enjoyed both regular clean-up and turn-down service. We had to leave in the midst of the St. Patrick's Day parade, and the doorman managed to find us a cab to the airport in spite of 5th Avenue being closed to all traffic (ot

The room size is very good. I would recommend the hotel for long stay. Good value for the money.

Vlak bij Metro en makkelijk vanaf JFK te bereiken (Air train to Jamaica, Metro naar WTC,overstappen op 51de straat in 6 uptown, uitstappen op 77ste street) Supermarkt in de buurt op 10 minuten lopen, naast de metro halte. In combinatie met keuken daardoor erg voordelig.
