I rented a room at the Herald Hotel from 2 March to 13 March 2023 and was very happy with the accommodation from the start. The room was spotlessly clean at the start and after every visit from room service, the front desk staff were all lovely, especially Nick, who always gave a highly professional impression as well, and the hotel's location right next to the Herald Place Metro Station in Manhattan was unbeatable for exploring the city. The view from my room on the ninth floor was also simply incredible.
You just have to get used to the omnipresent street noise of New York City, with horns blaring all night long, as the hotel is located on a large and busy intersection - if you have trouble falling asleep, you should do as I did and wear in-ear headphones. Apart from the street noise, there were no disturbing noises in the hotel itself. I can only recommend this hotel to every New York tourist!
