“when i first entered my room i was greeted by ratatouille and his gang. for the first 15 minutes i watched as they tidied up my room. When it was time for dinner i checked the hole they went into in the wall and told them to come out. They proceeded to team up and fight the bugs, roaches, bedbugs, water bugs, flees, and maggots. After they rounded up all of these ratatouille went over to the stove and made me a dish of what he calls, “le buge” the only thing in this was the bugs they killed. very nutritious but be cautious with this meal. when i checked in they gave me a cookie without hesitation i ate it but i swear i was seeing things through the night. any tweakers dream hotel.”

“IT SMELLED LIKE CIGARETTES IN THERE! my family went in this hotel, there was a BEAR in the shower, a dead moose on the bed, termites in the sink, and I had a headache after eating their berry blast jungle pops”

“I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels in NYC but this might be the nicest one I’ve stayed in for the price. Staff always was attentive and friendly and even let us check in early with no cost. The room was gorgeous and spotless. The room was very comfortable and had more than enough space for 1. New World Hotel really is the best around!”

“From the moment I arrived, this hotel completely changed my idea of luxury. Every spot I photographed looked even more stunning in real life. The Grand Exterior: That first picture with the marble steps, towering columns, and golden hour glow is completely accurate. The fountain in front and the well-kept gardens make you feel like you’ve stepped into a modern palace. The scale is incredible — it’s massive but still feels warm and welcoming. Lobby & Suite: Entering the lobby felt like being in an architectural magazine. The soaring ceilings, crystal chandelier, gold accents, and floral centerpiece exude pure elegance without being pretentious. The suite offered breathtaking city views, luxurious linens, and a bathroom with a freestanding tub that made me skip my dinner reservations just to relax longer. Outdoor Infinity Pool: The huge pool surrounded by cabanas and mountains became my afternoon workspace. The water was perfect, the chairs were plush, and the sunset views turned the entire deck golden. It felt like having a private resort within the hotel. Indoor Glass Atrium Pool: Perfect for a rainy day. Natural light streamed through the glass ceiling, steam rose from the water, and the marble deck had warm loungers. It felt like a high-end spa combined with a botanical garden. The atmosphere was incredibly calm and realistic — nothing like the typical echoey indoor pool experience. The staff, service, and attention to detail were all impeccable. I’m already planning my next visit just to enjoy that indoor pool at dawn.”

“Loved it, design was a little plain, and it tied to tight around my neck. It was like a business casual, the type you wear on a zoom meeting etc. Not adjustable enough, and can't tie in too many ways.”

“The rooms are small, but for a short trip to NYC the price is worth it. Both the room and the shower were clean. I was hesitant to book because of the negative reviews, but I have no complaints at all. They even allowed me to leave my luggage since I arrived before check-in. Location is great too”
