Right in Times Square you find this well-designed hotel with comfortable rooms and suites.
Hotel Edison is located in front of the Barrymore Theater, just around the corner from Times Square. This location is truly unbeatable - close to all landmarks and interesting places of New York, walking distance from the Museum of Modern Art and the Rockefeller Center. The subway at 49th Street is 3 minutes away on foot.
The rooms and suites at the hotel are equipped with large flatscreen HDTVs, work desks, iHome clock radios with USB charging ports, irons and ironing boards, and safety deposit boxes. The private bathrooms are equipped with a hairdryer and free toiletries. Higher-class rooms also have private terraces. Some basic commodities such as a freezer, microwave, and coffee maker are lacking in the rooms. Most are small, which is normal, given the standard in New York. There are family rooms for up to 10 people.
Edison Rum House is one of the best hotel bars in New York City. There you can enjoy live jazz music and classy cocktails every day. The other venue at the hotel is the Friedman's with its comfort food (including gluten-free options) during the day and dinner served by singing performers. Every Tuesday and Friday, you can take advantage of the complimentary wine hours in the lobby from 5 to 6 PM - await special surprises!
Breakfast is only grab-and-go and very underwhelming. Moreover, there is little variety between mornings.
The gym is small and slightly dated, but adequate and equipped with many different machines.
Hotel Edison offers a prime location in Times Square and this is its greatest plus. If you can overlook the minor shortfalls here and there, it makes for a great and pleasant hotel right in the heart of the action.
