Rough Guide
Star
"Sets a new standard for bohemian chic."
Michelin Guide
"In the middle of it all, you can quite literally get anywhere from here, but pull up a chair and stay awhile. It's the real deal, nailing that beatnik sensibility, and it even comes with a past."
Fodor's
"The vibe is unstuffy and down-to-earth, making it a popular hangout for creatives and people who work from wherever they lay their laptop." Full review
Insight Guides
"Combine the old-world charm of 1904 surroundings with a boho-chic vibe and what do you get? Hipster heaven."
DK Eyewitness
"The Ace Hotel channels a youthful rock-n-roll vibe: many of the large rooms come with vintage furniture, full-size refrigerator, and even a turntable and guitar."
Time Out
"Bourgeois hipsters tired of crashing on couches will appreciate the New York outpost of the cool chainlet founded in Seattle by a pair of DJs." Full review
Star Service
"This is certainly not the hippest hotel in Manhattan, but it is one with more grit and authenticity than most." Full review
Gayot
"Designed for all types of travelers, this hip hotel offers guests a choice of Bunk, Double, Queen and King rooms in a variety of price ranges and types."
BlackBook
"Rooms run the spectrum of the dollar-lined rainbow: bunk-up to save money, or 700 square feet of trust-fund-bedhead-esque loft space."

DK Eyewitness

For views of Bryant Park, request rooms in the -02 to -08 series.
Gayot
"A location alone... is enough of a selling point for travelers wishing to be in the center of New York City. But the hotel offers far more appeal than just its address."
BlackBook
"Rooms are gorgeous, spacious, comfortably modern and quiet, many with treetop park views."
Zagat
