For the last couple of years I have used TripAdvisor totally when booking accomodation. This trip was no exception. The Affinia Dumont had brilliant reviews and it was even BETTER than I could have expected. This hotel is an absolute must. Its just totally fantastic. We arrived after a very long delayed flight and 2.5 hour customs check and was greeted by friendly smiling staff. Our room was on the 2nd from top floor with the most amazing views over New York. The room was really large with 2 double beds and a kitchenette. We'd booked online directly and got a good rate. This was my 2nd visit to New York, first time I stayed in Tribecca which I thought was good but having been here, would def. go back time and time again and tell others to do so. Very very clean, towels changed daily and beds made/changed. Staff couldn't be more helpful. Location was fab. Near to the subway and walkable distance to all sights. There were genuinely NO problems encountered at all. Wouldn't consider any other hotel in New York. Simply fab. :) The hotel had a spa which admittedly we didnt' get to use as it was such a short trip, but had a quick look and it did look lovely. Maybe next time. Close

I travelled to New York with my Mum in early November. It was her first visit, my 7th. This hotel is by far the best I have stayed in, in New York. The hotel is tall 30 odd floors and not particularly attractive from the outside and don't expect the usual lounges, restaurants, large reception areas of most other hotels, but you really don't need them as the accommodation and the friendliness and helpfulness of the the staff more than compensate. The hotel is in the Murray Hill area, a really nice neighbourhood and only three blocks from the Empire State, also close to a Metro stop which goes up and downtown, The rooms by New York standards are huge! Ours had a bathroom, small kitchen, but with full size fridge and cooker, plus microwave and a room with two of the most comfortable double beds complete with pillow menu. The Barking Dog restaurant which is attached and recommended by the hotel is fantastic for breakfast. I must also commend the concierge - David - who got us Radio City Music Hall Xmas Extravaganza tickets so last minute it was untrue! Right from the welcome from the bright and sunny receptionists to the courteous and helpful doorman, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough, We were even asked if we'd like to be on floor 32 for the view or lower down. We ended up on 14, but I understand the view is spectacular. 14 was a good floor, because its actually high enough up to miss the New York traffic noise, but not too daunting for someone who is not too keen on heights! If you are looking for comfort at great value this is the place. Close

We stayed here for 11 days on our 4th trip to NY. Upon arrival we asked for a room in some high floor with a view, but we were told 12th floor is enough (whatfor? germans? a 30+ couple?). anyway. the rooms are spacy, real spacy. the furniture was a litte worn out , but the bed comfy. roomservice was quite good, fresh towels (even we didnt request) every day. the neighborhood is none you have to be afraid of. about 5min from the next metro. good breakfast facilities around (try timesquare bagels on 33th). overall a bit disappointed with the staff, but would consider staying again, althoug $270 a night isn´t that cheap...

We stayed at the Affinia Dumont for 5 nights. We booked a Junior suite and were very suprised by the spaciousness of the room. The staff are all very friendly, the service was very good. There are some lovely restaurants and bars nearby. The hotel offer a shuttle service back to the airport which may be worth considering as prices have recently risen ($76 from/to Newark airport in a taxi), where the shuttle service is $23 pp. I would defnitely stay here again.
