    This hotel was excellent! The customer service is friendly, accommodating, and quick. The rooms are spacious and quiet. The beds are cozy and the bathrooms have toilet seats that are warm! Lol if thats something you are looking for! They have a rooftop bar, a Japanese restaurant, a cafe where you can get breakfast, and a store to buy chocolate. It’s located by Grand Central Station with so many things to do near by! I definitely recommend this hotel and will be visiting again!

    Have stayed here twice in the past 2 years and both times have been exactly what I want out of a NY hotel. The service is prompt and decently friendly, nothing over the top but efficient. The rooms are well appointed with nice features like a tub and bidets on the toilets. Beds arent the softest, but they definitely are totally fine after a long city day. Best part to me is the midtown location mixed with amazing soundproofing and other quiet guests. They also have a great rooftop bar with amazing views on warmer months

    Im looking into booking this hotel. Reviews sound great and it has just the vibe Im looking for—however, there were 666 reviews, and Im just here to bump it—in case I stay.

    The Hotel Kitano is excellent but what makes it so excellent is the people who work there! Amazing service, very polite and friendly staff! Many many thanks to Mrs Miki Sal. for being so kind and helpful! The location is perfect (100 meters from Fifth Avenue) and Park Avenue is always great! I highly recommend this hotel! Very friendly, safe and high quality in everything! Definitely we will be back!!

    This is the best hotel in NY, little bit old but near to the station, 7-11 and even there is halal food nearby. This hotel also have bidet wich is the most important things for asian.Their service are great and lovely

    Came for the Christmas lights. The hotel was close enough to everything we wanted to do, but far enough from the melee to relax. The rooftop bar had incredible views. The entire establishment was extremely clean, and I would definitely recommend staying here.

  • Review 7 (2024-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    I loved this hotel! I was looking for a spacious room to accommodate three adults. I decided on the Deluxe Room with two double beds (Premier). The room was as pictured. There was a floor length mirror by the door. There was another near floor length mirror outside of the bathroom. We had lots of windows to enjoy the NYC views. The rooftop balcony provided a great skyline view. The only con is there is no refrigerator or microwave in the room. Ive never stayed in a hotel with no refrigerator so I didnt notice that that wasnt included in the amenities. I did inquire about a microwave prior to my stay and was told I could rent a microwave for a small daily fee which I was happy to hear. Staff was very kind and helpful! Id recommend this hotel to anyone!

  • Review 8 (2023-02-10 - Rating: 4)

    Hotel was really nice and cleanly. Front desk staff very pleasant/friendly. Only downside is restaurant and jazz club are temporarily closed at the moment so breakfast only available via room service and no dinner (unless you do small plates at rooftop bar - which I unfortunately didnt get the chance to check out.) I would stay here again if I knew everything was open and operational.

  • Review 9 (2023-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    Beginning to be a bit dated. Surprised that they still charge for WiFi, with a 4 device limit, and have a mini fridge full of stuff with sensors to detect use. I thought those went out 10 years ago. But the toilet seat is heated, and it is a really short walk to Grand Central. It tends to be quieter, though this time we were on a lower floor, so not so much. Restaurant is currently closed, and the bar is closed.

  • Review 10 (2023-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    Miss Yuko, Miss Etsuko and Fahad from the front desk were simply amazing. The hotel, restaurant, rooftop bar and room service was impeccable. Great location on Park Ave. Thank you for making our Xmas magical!!

  • Review 11 (2022-01-18 - Rating: 4)

    Overall a pleasant stay for NYE. Very quiet upon arrival and difficult to judge value but no complaints. Room was a good size and bathroom too. Check in guy was a bit miserable but check out team were nice. Leaving with a shot amid Saki at 11am! 👍🏼 the terrace bar was an awesome find too. Amazing views of ESB (first pic from my room!). And not forgetting the crazy Japanese toilet that washes everything…Would have happily stayed for longer.

  • Review 13 (2023-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    Great location in central Manhattan. Rooms are slightly dated in style but very clean and comfortable. If I return to Manhattan, this hotel would be my first choice. Definitely recommend.

  • Review 14 (2021-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Outstanding staff here. Service was really great in every way— checking in, at the bar, everywhere. Rooms were quiet and comfortable and absolutely spotless. The rooftop bar should be jammed — a hidden gem in the city. I cannot recommend it more highly.

  • Review 15 (2017-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    I stayed at the Kitano Hotel for 3 Nights. Its really close to Times Square which was a good thing since we wanted to see what the excitement was about. The room I reserved was the Superior King room. I requested to have a window view and was happy that I got it. I got there before the check in time, 3PM and requested to be checked in early. We were able to check in early since the cleaning had been done as told by the front desk receptionist. The Staff was really friendly. 5/5 Customer service. The Room was really clean as well! My girlfriend had a bad night the night before we were supposed to check out. I gave the front desk a call and the manager gave us an extra hour to check out w/ no fee. This helped us so much and I was really grateful for this, so I decided to write a review. Overall we both enjoyed this stay. We both give it a 5/5 and will visit back if we were to come back for our own little vacation.

    We had a great time at the Kitano!The hotel is in a great midtown location, a few blocks from grand central station and Bryant park.The hotel staff were gracious to check us in early on our arrival and also gave us extra time the day we checked out.It is a Japanese run hotel, so the fancy Japanese style toilet is in the room.Hotel is clean and included all of the amenities one would expect from a 4 star hotel.Also worth noting is the sound. We heard very little from our neighbors, the elevators or the plumbing.We will definitely look to book the Kitano hotel for our next visit to New York.

  • Review 17 (2021-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel for 2 nights for my birthday. The hotel lobby and room were very clean. The front desk staff and bellhop were very friendly and helpful. Every time we saw a staff member in the hallway or passed through the lobby, they would acknowledge us and say hello!The bed was very comfortable with great views of the city! The bathroom was extremely nice as well. Unfortunately, two of their restaurants were closed due to COVID but we ordered room service breakfast the day we left and were super impressed! Everything was delicious. The valet parking was easy. We thought the price was $55 per night but it turned out to be $65, not a big deal. Ice machines were not accessible also due to COVID but you were able to call the front desk and they brought a bucket of ice. All staff wore masks and hand sanitizer was readily available. No complaints! We would definitely stay here again!

  • Review 18 (2024-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    There for 2 nights in an upgraded excellent corner room. The hotel has beautiful decor and is spotlessly clean. The hotel has an excellent location at Park Ave. and 38th. Friendly, efficient staff. Fantastic views from the rooftop lounge. The only negative was the misleading statement on the convenience fee perks. It provided a $20 per day credit for breakfast and says that you can roll over the breakfast credit to the next day. We had breakfast after our second night and expected to be credited $40. When I questioned this charge, I was told something like the credit was for the day you arrived. Very confusing. Also, the only choice for breakfast was a very limited buffet at $40 per person. No ala carte menu. If you wanted anything other than scrambled eggs, you were out of luck. With tax and the service charge the bill was $99 less the $20 credit. Probably one reason why we were the only people having breakfast. Hotel is 5 star. Breakfast is 1 star.

    Had an amazing stay in NY at The Kitano! Location of this beautifully appointed hotel is great! Close to Grand Central Terminal and easy to get toRockefeller Center, Times Square and Bryant Park. The hotel is very clean with spacious rooms and a botique type feel. Hidden secret are the warm toilet seats and towel racks which are a special touch. We will definitely be returning to The Kitano for next years stay and already looking forward to it!

  • Review 20 (2022-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect location. Front desk extremely helpful. Rooftop lounge but closed around 12a so we went out for drinks. Security was present which was nice. Housekeepers were the best! We will definitely stay here again.

    I love this place. The staff, especially the night manager, were professional, friendly and courteous.The clean, up-to-date rooms are complimented by the bathrooms which feature marble walls, counters and showers. Overall a great place to stay if youre in New York City.

    Thank you for your kindness with our stay! The most genuine service and beautiful hotel. Will be returning.

  • Review 23 (2018-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    The Kitano hotel is a very nice Japanese-style hotel. They have a restaurant built in, so you dont have to go far to get something to eat. They also have a jazz lounge if you just wanna relax and enjoy some music. The rooms are nice, and the bathrooms have bidets (in case thats important). Overall the hotel is very nice!

  • Review 24 (2013-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Had a wonderful experience here. We only stayed overnight, but the staff was beyond friendly and the rooms were very clean. The jazz brunch was also very nice and a great way to start off a Sunday. Theres lots to do in the area as well. All and all, it was a great experience!

  • Review 25 (2019-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    What a lovely hotel! The staff at the Kitano is incredibly nice and helpful and made both the check-in and check-out process very easy. The room was very quiet and clean, and the location is just a short walk to Grand Central Station. The hotel also has the Jazz at Kitano which had delicious drinks and cocktails and a wonderful live jazz show.

  • Review 26 (2018-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great stay at The Kitano - a perfect, central location, very walkable to many landmarks and activities, and very safe neighbourhood. The hotel and room itself are really nicely maintained, with comfortable beds and bedding, and surprisingly very little road noise (we were on the 12th floor). The water pressure was fantastic! We also loved the nightly jazz at the restaurant! Photo is the view from our 12th floor room.

  • Review 27 (2023-02-09 - Rating: 4)

    I enjoyed my stay here. The corner suite with a view of the chrysler building was spectacular; the lobby and mezzanie level were tastefully curated. I just wish their restaurant and jazz bar were open..

  • Review 28 (2022-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    Elegant. Clean. Luxury appointments. Service wonderful. Location fantastic and close to Grand Central. Resto fab. And bonus, an excellent jazz bar directly from the 60s. Cocktails and jazz artists who should be famous. Must.

  • Review 29 (2022-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    My Fiancee surprised me with romantic weekend in the city. The Kitano hotel was a amazing. Staff was attentive and really friendly. Classy and attentive to detail is how I would describe my experience.

  • Review 30 (2017-11-14 - Rating: 4)

    Great location. Nice low key vibe. A little dated. Soft mattress. Bidet toilet combo. Marble bathroom and nicely appointed bedroom. 4 short blocks from Grand Central. Half a block from classic Rossinis Italian restaurant.

  • Review 31 (2020-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    We love staying at this hotel!Its sedate, clean, well maintained, and the staff, from the doormen, to the folks at the front desk, and in the dining area, are all extraordinarily friendly and helpful.The location is great as well...its on Park Avenue and 38th Street, 4 blocks from Grand Central Station, a pleasant 10 minute walk to Times Square and the theater district, and a lovely stroll up 5th Avenue.So, youre close to a lot of the action of NY, but when youve had enough and want to unwind, youll find sanctuary at The Kitano. Like I said at the outset, we LOVE it!

  • Review 35 (2014-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Last week, a dozen family members gathered in NYC from California, Washington DC and Ohio for the sad occasion of a funeral. We were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected upgrade to a suite which allowed us the opportunity to congregate and reminisce, which would have otherwise been difficult or impossible. The hotel was exquisite, the staff hospitable, and the location perfect for our needs. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Kitano New York for making a difficult week pleasant and memorable.

    My husband just spent 2 night at the Prince Kitano New York. I booked the room for him via their website and could not be more pleased with the experience. The room was very large, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also very nice with a heated toilet seat. Everyone working at the hotel was extremely helpful and went the extra mile to make sure my husbands stay was a pleasant one. He can not wait to return to the Prince Kitano New York.

  • Review 43 (2018-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    I love the Kitano. It’s not just their convenient location (less than a five minutes walk to the Grand Central, maybe even less to the Keens Steakhouse, and less than 10 minutes to the Whole Foods Bryant Park), their great jazz bar on their first floor, the incredible view of Park Ave from the rooms, or very decent authentic Japanese restaurant called Hakubai, but it’s their ambience that makes me feel like at home, and that’s what stands out about this hotel. Place is boutique enough that it’s usually quiet at the lobby (speaking of their lobby, while not sure if it’s an annual event, I remember couple years ago, for the New Year celebration, there were tons of sake casks at the lobby and from morning they were offering cups!)It’s a smaller hotel if to compare to major brands such as Hilton / Sheraton in Midtown, and there is no gym inside, though they offer a voucher to nearby gym. But hey, you are in the middle of New York City, chowing down over working out sounds like what needs to be done, right?? Keens Steakhouse, 2nd Ave deli (less than a 10 mins walk), Pizza places in the Soho area (take Uber),,, New York City offers a lot. The Kitano serves breakfast with Japanese menu, as well, including Japanese rice (probably Japanese rice from California), pickled veggies (what we call tsukemono) to pair with the rice, grilled salted salmon, and the Japanese tea, along with the traditional American style things such as bacons, sausages, and eggs.While Kitano is the only Japanese hotel that I am aware of in the city, the customers are usually mixed, and definitely not predominantly the Japanese only kind. You will see Americans to Europeans to,,, the Japanese.

    Very nice hotel, staff are lovely and make you feel welcome. If there’s any problems, they sort it immediately. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the toilets and bidets are great. Location is perfect and can’t hear any street noise from the room, so can have a perfect night’s sleep. However for the price I think that Wi-Fi should be included, and having fridges in the rooms and access to ice in the hotel would make the experience even better!

    Stayed here for two nights with a friend and LOVED it! The location is beautifully situated (quiet and away from the touristy parts of the city, but close to subways), the people working here are incredibly kind and helpful, and the rooms are exquisite (very comfortable beds!) I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. I am surprised by guests posting reviews here complaining that the restaurants in the hotel are closed because there are SO MANY wonderful places a block or 2 away from the hotel (Tartinery and Maman are 2 great breakfast options...) will definitely be back to stay again at The Kitano!

    We loved the Murray’s Hill area and this Hotel had a quiet air of tranquility for our stay. Friendly staff . They only opened the rooftop cocktail bar one evening which was special . Advise you to take your own teas and coffee supplies though for the room. The added bonus was the nearby NYC gym with great facilities for hotel guests.

    I have been to the Kitano twice and it is a stellar hotel. I love that it is footsteps away from Grand Central Station and that it is a short walk from various shops at Fifth Avenue. The best part about the Kitano is the graciousness and kind nature of the employees- especially Brian and Zack. One bit of feedback is that there should be more pillows in the bed. I also love that the property is clean and safe! I look forward to returning to the Kitano in the future!

    The Kitano blew us away! We booked the hotel for two key requirements - location (central to locations we intended to explore) and king bed (few hotels in NYC offer a king bed). We arrived to exceptionally pleasant and helpful Bellman and Front Desk staff and a nicely decorated lobby for the Christmas season. Check-in was a breeze, and we were informed of the Roof at 66 at that time (more on that later). Headed up to our room, where we found a spacious (by NYC standards) king bedroom. The bathroom amenities included a towel warming rack and bidet with heated seat! Service the entire stay was outstanding - we realized we needed an extra robe and an iron and board, which were sent up promptly!Its a smaller hotel, which resulted in the place being mostly quiet - which is nice after a day exploring the city and you just want rest. But if you arent ready to sleep just yet, visit the Roof at 66! Theyve turned the penthouse floor into an intimate bar space with balconies on two sides with excellent skyline views. Excellent bartenders and good drink selections. Theres also a bar menu - we had the potstickers the first night and they were quite good. One of the bartenders even took a quick minute to step onto the patio to take our photo with the Empire State Building in the background.They were in a phased re-opening at the time of our visit, so the Japanese restaurant on-site, as well as the Jazz bar, were not operating, but hopefully will be on our return trip at some point in the future. The Roof at 66 is also currently closed Sundays and Mondays at this time.We were thrilled with our stay, and thank the wonderful staff for their hospitality! We hope to return soon.

    Went to a company party at the penthouse. Great food, beautiful views, and great service.

  • Review 102 (2021-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    The Kitano is among the nicest hotels in the city. The service is excellent, and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. I do wish the wifi was free, because it feels a little dated to charge for what could easily be added to on to the price of the room. The rooms themselves are very spacious and nicely designed. Hot water kettle is provided, so you can brew your coffee from the local grocery store. The new rooftop bar Roof At 66 Park is a great addition, with awesome drinks and a spectacular view. Lets hope the restaurant and Jazz at Kitano will be happening again very soon. Highly recommended.

    What a wonderful stay! We decided to spent the last few nights of our trip at Kitano after some awful nights at a very loud hotel.Other guests mentioned Kitano was quiet and....they were right! Wonderful rooms, super quiet and spacious, and very friendly and caring staff.

    Super clean and well kept hotel (compared with what you can find in NY at a decent price!). I have been upgraded in a corner room for 2 night and it was fab! But also standard room are very nice. Food also delicious. A little bit of variety in breakfast would be recommended... they dont have gluten free offer, but a part of that Absolutely recommended!

  • Review 106 (2022-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    The hotel is super high class! Super comfortable, service is high level as well! A lot of little things around you what makes your standing in NY absolutely fabulous!Fantastic hotel! In the Kitano hotel’s room you is so quiet! You will never believe it it NY! Rooms looks absolutely new, everything is working, super comfy ropes and slippers. Super comfortable beds, a lot of space in the room. The AC is working quite, and super modern! I had never seen technic like this in US. Like I told before rooms are very specious! For the coffee/tea lovers, the cofee machine is absolutely amazing. Shops, restaurants, Cental Park, Times Square-everything is close by!5 stars!!!And I want to thank Zack, the hotel general manager, who is always so attentional to everyone, and every guest needs!

  • Review 108 (2019-12-09 - Rating: 4)

    The hotel was beautiful and the restaurant was fabulous with the jazz music. The room was spacious and clean but nothing to brag about. It was not practical though. The outlets for phones were not on both sides of the bed. No trash can in the bathroom. Nice heated toilet with cleaning features though. The staff is very nice and polite. Overall this is a very nice hotel but not practical and well appointed from my standpoint.

    My wife and I used to live in NYC and travel back here at least once a year. The Kitano is clean and close enough to the center of the city so that walking distances are doable. The staff is friendly and our room is large enough so that we both have enough room to move around without tripping over each other.

    Its a nice hotel. When you walk in you can definitely feel the old school luxury.We got upgraded to a room with a living room (never used it though) was again old school luxury - lots of marble and darker woods and beige carpets.Problem for me was I feel they need to update the technology in the rooms... Had tiny non HD TV and I feel the rooms were getting tired.Breakfast was included and we had buffet, it wasnt that special and reminded me of a ok level business hotel in Tokyo.Again nice hotel with good service and not a bad location also wasnt overcrowded like some hotels can be, but I think I would stay somewhere else next time... Just didnt feel special.

    Nice boutique hotel, really liked the suite-it had a lot of special amenities u dont find in most hotels ,heated toilet seat w/bodett n dryer, light dimmers, and percolaters in room. My only complaints were that the hotel was not good about getting packages to my room, this was a 5th Avenue shopping trip n I had my bags messengered to hotel, which they lost every single time, I got them but only after going thru an ordeal with front desk multiple times. Great accommodations, just need to work on catering to needs of guests
