Nicely renovated, great staff and great lounge area.
Room was very tight for space and no closet.

Hotel was nice, renovated building with a great staff. The room was very nicely appointed with the bed, fixtures and amenities.

Really nice staff and the bed was extremely comfy.
Nothing.

The Franklin NYC is a cozy little hotel. This was our first trip to The Big Apple, we're actually from Iceland, and when we travel to this wonderful city again we're going to stay at The Franklin again and again. ...read more

Extraordinarily friendly and helpful staff.
The tiniest room I've ever stayed in!

You could tell from the conversation at the free continental breakfast that everyone staying at the Franklin shared the sense that this place is a gem. The rooms are tiny, but they are very nicely appointed and the staff is exceptionally courteous. ...read more

Intimacy of the space, food, and staff was perfect.
Hotel public spaces were way too small. Seats only 6 comfortably.

Staff, food, location and room were great - better than expected. Public space was ridiculously small. A lot of waiting and a lot of patience to get into the room get food then stand in the hall to eat. ...read more

Service. The people in the hotel made extreme efforts to help us out and make our stay fantastic.
Breakfast seemed to be a bit hectic. Could use some more hands on Sunday morning.

The Franklin Hotel was spectacular. The location was terrific (right across from the express subway), the internet access was helpful, the staff was personable (like we had known them our whole lives), and the rooms were surprisingly clean and fresh. We loved our stay. Truly loved it. ...read more

Very comfortable bed including the pillow and bedding. The angora and merino throw was sublime.
The bathroom was so tiny that my shoulders touched the wall on both sides while using the sink.

We were treated very well by the staff at The Franklin. The location was convenient and the breakfast was first class. While the room and bathroom especially were tiny, my only real complaint was that the air conditioner was quite noisy. Overall we were quite comfortable. ...read more

The staff was outstanding and the room was unbelievably clean.
The bathroom was very small.

We loved our stay. We were within walking distance of Central Park and very close to the subway. Getting around town was quite easy from our hotel. We enjoyed the lovely breakfast where we met other hotel guests and had a wonderful time. While the room and bathroom were quite small, they were very clean and neat. Our overall stay was more like being in a bed and breakfast than a busy New York hotel. It was lovely. ...read more

Staff terrific, European continental breakfast great, rooms attractive and well appointed.
Rooms very small, much smaller than expected for the price.

The Franklin is well situated to enjoy and stay in NY upper east side. Attractively decorated, very nice staff and lovely breakfast. Be prepared to live lovely, though tight.

The staff is very accommodating, always smiling and always willing to help.
Very narrow breakfast/wine and cheese room was a bit cramped.

The hotel is nice, but the staff is excellent! They made the experience everything it was. I was in a large room which was fine for New York, but would not have wanted anything smaller. The hotel was clean and the wine and cheese offering in the evening was a nice touch and quite enjoyable. The hotel is located around the corner from the 86th Street subway station which proved to be highly convenient. Also, top museums and Central Park are less than 5 minute's walk. There is plenty of quality dining nearby. I would stay there again in a New York minute! ...read more

Great free happy hour.
Weird elevator.

Great location for the museum lover easy to reach from major stations. Nice European wine reception and breakfast. Great value for money.
