    There are restaurants in the hotel:
    Sofia's Restaurant
    The Supper Club
    The Rum House
    Café Edison

    And Restaurant Row is only a block away.

    • An older, but renovated hotel right slap in the middle of Times Square. Maybe 200 yards from the TKTS booth. Small rooms, but comfortable. Ask for extra pillows. Can't beat the price. Very friendly staff. Great restaurant for breakfast .... prices cheaper than home. Excellent bar.

    Absolutely gorgeous lobby. Really. Beautiful art deco area for gathering.

    • We stayed here on are first and so far only trip to New York. The location is perfect, just a few feet from Time Square. There is a great little bar on the first floor with windows looking out to the street. We planned our after dinner drink at the window so we could watch Al Pachino exit the stage door across the street. We spent the extra money and booked a mini-suite and I believe it was well worth the money. The room was actually two separate rooms, a living room with a sofa sleeper, closet, recliner chair, TV, coffee table, and end table. The bedroom was about the same size and separated by a door. The bed was king size, two end tables, TV, and closet. Bathrooms are small but clean and with plenty of hot water. The entire room was probably about 350 square feet. We were on the 14th floor toward the back and the view was fine. The cost was a lot less than what I expected to pay for a place in Time Square, in 2003 we paid $180 per night, I think they are up to $200 now. But the hotel is great, staff is friendly and there is no better location. TIP: Around 10:00 – 11:00 am hang out around the half price ticket booth just down the street from the hotel watch for somebody with a clipboard and watching the crowd. Then just hang around looking like a tourist. These are the guys who give away the canceled TV show tickets for that afternoon. We were offered tickets to the David Letterman show at 3:00 PM that afternoon, but it was the day we were leaving so we had to turn him down. I had watched the guy for a few minutes and he was sizing up the crowd before he approached us and made the offer.

    • I stayed at the Edison when I visited New York City when I was a University student, so at the time I was not too picky on my surroundings and how I slept. In hind sight, the place was kinda crappy. The hotel room was ok, and the location is great, but the nightclub in the basement, even thought I was many floors up, kept me up all night long. Which was ok, since I did plan on getting as little sleep as possible in New York City....who the hell wants to sleep when there's soooooo much to do!!!

    Great Location in a relatively safe neighbourhood close to all the action.

    Comfy lounge of hotel
    by RAINBOWWINGS
    A great hotel in a great location, just 200mts from Times Square and Broadway. Built in 1931 in the Art Deco style of Radio City Music Hall, theres a good buzzy feel to this place. A huge Reception area but all the staff seemed pretty friendly, when Id been warned not to expect too many smiles from the New Yorkers. It was perfect for our 5 days in the city and altho there was snow everywhere, this had been stacked at the side of the roads and the pavements were easy walking. Comfy rooms but somewhat small, and nice lounge areas, all added to a great experience for our first time visit. The only downside was that the rooms in January were sooooooo hot and you couldnt turn the heating down!

    Breakfast was fab in their Edison Cafe. Pink booths and excellent service were a great novelty to us Brits and the breakfast of pancakes,sausage, bacon, eggs was to die for. Try a cocktail in the Rum House Bar in the hotel...good West Indian decor adds to the buzzy atmosphere.

    • I was here about 15 yrs ago, so I'm not sure how it has changed, for better or worse. It wasn't really my choice of places to stay, but I met up with some friends who were there on a package from Switzerland. It was probably rated about 1.5-2 *'s then. Actually, I've stayed in some chain hotels that weren't much better. As I recall my room was huge, and it was clean. Definitely an older NYC hotel. The location was terrific for walking around.
    I can't put down a price because I don't remember what I paid... and it was 15 yrs ago anyway.

    The most interesting feature of the hotel was that the telephones out-calling feature was turned off for rooms booked under my Swiss friends' travel package. They had been trying to phone back home, but couldn't get their phone to work - I think it was for long distance purposes. It wasn't until I tried to help them that we found out the situation, and I think they ended up calling out from my room. There had been a language problem for the hotel operator to explain it to my friends who couldn't comprehend the accent as well as the English! :-D

    • The Edison is just steps from Times Square and the Theater District. The Hotel staff is friendly and helpful.
    The rooms are a reasonable size but the bedding was a bit flat. We had to order a few extra pillows that came right away, but it would be nice if there were already extras in our room. The air conditioning was good. The bathroom was old but clean. No hairdryer here you have to call for it. You need to call for an iron if you want one too. Who wants to spend this much time on the phone? All right I can live with this, but when I found that ice was available only by phone and at a small price I had to say 'aw come on!'
    The Hotel overnight stay was nice and quiet. Hotel security is good, a nice place for we older, family folk.

    No pool, no particular views, but the hotel itself is artsy built in the style of Radio City Music Hall. The main attraction is location and price. You can walk to the Broadway shows and use the money you save to purchase extra tickets.

    • This was the first time that I had stayed anywhere other than that Comfort Inn Manhattan, and boy was I impressed! It's relatively cheap compared to other hotels downtown, and the location is amazing! Situation next door to the swanky W Hotel, your are mere steps from Times Square as soon as you walk out the door; and there is a Starbucks acrossed the street, what more could you ask for!

    I didn't deal much with the staff, but as far as I know they were pretty amiable. At night there is a guy that monitors the elevators and you have to show your key card to gain access to the rooms... a nice security feature.

    I would totally recommend this hotel, if not for the location alone!

    The rooms were much better than I have been told. We had a room with 2 double beds that was quite spacious! The shower had great pressure, but it was a little difficult to control the temperature at times.

    • The Edison Hotel has an excellent staff that is very helpful. The best thing about this hotel is it's location on 47th Street right in the heart of Time Square and the Theatre District. I stay at this hotel whenever I am in New York for pleasure. You won't go wrong.

    Location, Location, Location. - Do I need to say it again. Location, Location, Location. Subway close by. The heart of Time Square and the Theatre District. Also a great restruant for Breakfast.

    • Hotel Edison is a beautiful art deco style hotel that is less than 1 block off of Times Square - so close and yet so far! The hotel is beautifully decorated with entrances on both 47th & 46th Street. Rooms are cozy but don't seem cramped with plenty of amenities - big beds, nice linens. Less modern than some but very comfortable. Windows/view can be non-existant but who wants the noise and lights? Bar in lobby is great - sometimes performers from the local broadway theaters come over after hours to enjoy some impromptu singing. Location is the key, though, with Central Park only a few blocks away, the theaters in the back yard and Times Square out the front door. Check online prices for a deal.
