The hype
Guests love the location and the rooftop pool views, but the rooms feel worn and the elevators are a test of patience.
Royalton Park Avenue
$230-450 / нощ
Запазете го, ако You want a rooftop pool scene in NoMad and don't mind sacrificing some sleep for the 'see-and-be-seen' vibe.
Защо хората я обичат
- Heated indoor/outdoor rooftop pool open year-round (a Manhattan unicorn)
- Location is dead-center NoMad, walkable to everything from Eataly to the Empire State Building
- The Ivy Room and rooftop bar draw a genuine local crowd, not just tourists
Бързо резюме: A former 'it' hotel that's still riding the coattails of its Gansevoort glory days, with a killer rooftop but tired rooms that desperately need a refresh.
Преглеждано от @_briiiana: I stayed here for a weekend getaway and the rooftop pool completely stole the show. Waking up to that Empire State Building view made me feel like a total VIP. It’s the perfect spot if you want that trendy NYC energy without the chaos.

Reality check
The 'Superior' rooms are shockingly small compared to the wide-angle website photos, and you might find peeling wallpaper or missed cleaning spots.
- You prioritize a year-round heated pool over a quiet night's sleep
- You want to be in the middle of the NoMad restaurant scene
- You're traveling with a dog (very pet-friendly, though for a fee)
Чистота и поддръжка
6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests rave, others find dust bunnies and missed items from previous guests.
- Bathroom hygiene: Concerning reports of black mold in grout and tubs that need a good scrub.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure. Peeling wallpaper, chipped furniture, and loud AC units are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally decent, 400-thread count Egyptian cotton, but watch for wear and tear.
- Odors & scents: Usually fine, though some hallways can smell musty or like old cleaning products.

Преди да резервирате
Добре е да знаете
- The rooftop pool is for guests only, but the deck opens to the public/parties, so it gets crowded.
- Elevators are notoriously slow; factor in an extra 5-10 minutes if you're on a schedule.
- Coffee and tea are complimentary in the lobby from 6-7 AM only (blink and you miss it).
Какво да пакувате
- Earplugs (non-negotiable for light sleepers)
- Swimsuit (year-round heated pool is the main draw)
- Patience for the elevators
Джинийче за стаята
Топ избори
- Grand Deluxe King (actually spacious, unlike the 'Superior' closets)
- Park Avenue Suite (corner views and Juliet balconies make it feel like a real apartment)
Стаи за избягване
- Superior Rooms (cramped, often dark, and feel like a downgrade)
- Rooms near the elevators (noise bleed is real)
- Top floor rooms directly under the pool deck (unless you like sleeping inside a subwoofer)

“I'd love a quiet room away from the elevators and not directly below the rooftop bar. If possible, a room with a Juliet balcony facing 29th Street rather than Park Avenue for less street noise.”

Ask for a room with a Juliet balcony; even if you can't step out, the floor-to-ceiling air is a game changer.
- ✨
The 'facility fee' includes Citi Bike passes—ask the front desk for them or you're wasting money.
- ✨
The lobby fireplace is a legitimate vibe for a drink if the rooftop is too chaotic.
5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The 'Superior' rooms are so small you might trip over your suitcase.
💡Housekeeping can be hit-or-miss; check behind the couch (one guest found a stranger's jacket and underwear there).
💡The shower pressure in some rooms is described as 'less than energizing'.
💡You can hear your neighbors in the hallway due to thin doors.
💡The 'Alice in Wonderland' lobby decor is fun but feels a bit like 2010 called and wants its furniture back.
