Archer Hotel

Amazing location, great service, comfy and pleasant stay

The only word I can use to describe this hotel is “meh”…. It’s definitely NOT 4 star. The rooms are below average, pretty much like the service. When I checked in, they told me that one of my rooms amenities was ‘under bed storage’. When I got into the room, which was about as big as a broom closet, I could see why that was considered an ‘amenity’. On check in, i was put into a room with two single beds, and when i asked if they had any others available, they said they were full - which seemed unlikely, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Four really crappy nights sleep, at almost $400 a night. The bathroom was tight, but fine - at least it was clean, I’ll give them that - but the bottle of shower gel on the wall of the shower was empty, and didn’t get refilled (luckily I had my own). The elevators took for ever too. On check out, I had asked to switch the payment method, but of course their card reader didn’t work, so they offered to take my card into the basement (no joke!) where someone would randomly punch in the numbers into a machine that only existed in Ty managers office for some reason… I said no, because I’m not comfortable with someone disappearing with my credit card where can’t see what they’re doing. Their card reader wasn’t working when I checked in either, so that took about 20 minutes longer than it should have done - I’m not sure how they were able to get me checked in without taking my card away then, which just made it seem even more sketchy when they offered to do it on check out. The people there are nice enough and friendly, but didn’t go out of their way to offer to help. If you stay here, expect the minimum. If you get more you might be pleasantly surprised. But, first impressions are everything, and mine was overwhelmingly underwhelming, so I won’t be going back. Do not recommend.

Convenient, central location made getting around town a breeze. Staff was kind and friendly, room was small but well designed and comfortable. The whole building felt very chic and was clearly well maintained. We loved being able to see the Empire State Building from our room every night! We did not brave the rooftop bar this go-round since it was so frigid, but it’s on the agenda for our next visit! Would 100% stay again.

This property is in a great location. Close enough to enjoy all that NYC has to offer but far enough that the noise of the city is minimal. It is very clean and my son and I felt very safe. The staff is kind and attentive. We will be staying here again!

The Archer is such a wonderful hotel! Its in a perfect central location for first time travellers to the city, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are quite small, (typical of NYC) but who really spends much time in their room when you are in NYC anyway!!! The highlight of this hotel is its proximity to the Empire State building. We had 2 adjoining rooms for our family of 5 with views of the Empire State, but the real highlight for us was the view from the rooftop bar of the hotel. This is truly spectacular. The service and attention provided by staff from the front desk, to housekeeping and rooftop bar was exceptional! We absolutely loved our stay here and would certainly return.
