Voco The Franklin New York, An Ihg Hotel

“Friendliest place in NY”

The rooms are small (average for NYC) but they were updated and clean. What stands out for me is the staff. They were the nicest people. There is even a little coffee bar, snack stand and water on tap (fizzy and still). My daughter lives around the corner but the location is great for anyone. Safe … more

Safe neighborhood near Central Park and Museum Mile! I will be back

“Great location and charming older building”

This is my 2nd stay here. The location is excellent and there aren't too many hotels in this area. It is a converted NYC brownstone so yes the rooms are small, yes the elevator is old. But this is NYC and most hotels are older and have smaller rooms. I find the room comfortable and functional. … more

This is my 2nd stay here. The location is excellent and there aren't too many hotels in this area. It is a converted NYC brownstone so yes the rooms are small, yes the elevator is old. But this is NYC and most hotels are older and have smaller rooms. I find the room comfortable and functional. I would not recommend for families but for singles or couples it is perfect. For this location, the price and size of the rooms is to be expected. The employees are outstanding and I feel safe and comfortable here. There is coffee made to order in the lobby and a small marker with snacks and drinks. You are 20 minute walk from Mt. Sinai Hospital, Guggenheim and Central Park. There is a whole foods market 500 feet away and restaurants everywhere. I would absolutely recommend staying here if it meets your needs. (sizes of rooms and amenities are listed on website).

“Petite Size Room with Cozy Beds + Great Location in UES”

The first time we went to Paris (in our early 20s), we stayed in a hotel very similar in size to Voco the Franklin.

The first time we went to Paris (in our early 20s), we stayed in a hotel very similar in size to Voco the Franklin. Though we didn't exactly anticipate how small the room would be this time, we got used to it pretty quickly and in fact brought us back to "Europe" for a brief moment. I picked this hotel because it's in the neighborhood we've always wanted to check out, not as tourists but potential residents in the future — and our stay here did not disappoint us. We really liked what we saw and would highly recommend staying here if you want a chill weekend getaway in NYC where you can access to residential neighborhood and spend some quality time at the museums :) Ps. FYI I wouldn't recommend staying in this hotel if you have infants/small kids. The standard room is small, the bathroom is tiny, and the elevator...I'm not even sure if it'd fit a stroller (plus you gotta walk up a couple stairs up to enter the hotel).
