Lombardy Hotel

Loved the location. The suites were spacious and nice. The location and staff were wonderful. It was a fun hotel to stay at.

Check in was very quick and easy. Staff were very helpful with any queries, before, during and after stay and even extended our check out when our flight was delayed. They happily stored our luggage on our last day too. Housekeeping always kept our bedding and towels refreshed and were respectful of our privacy and possessions. Continental breakfast is included for all customers, which wasn't mentioned in the listing, so that was a nice surprise. It included plenty of options, with cereals, pastries and awesome bagels. We booked a suite with a balcony on the 15th floor. It was well laid out, very spacious and actually had 2 balconies - 1 covered and 1 not, which was fabulous. The location was great for us and given how busy the streets are, the rooms were incredibly well soundproofed. No noise from rooms above or below, either. A 15th floor suite with a balcony (or 2) is an expensive option, so it's worth considering what you want from it. Aside from the space, I really wanted access to fresh air and the surrounding skyscrapers and street views (partial views of the junctions at Lexington and Park Avenues and a Spider-man view of E56th Street below) were ideal for me, as I'm fascinated by the rooftops of lower buildings and the architecture surrounding us. So, the view doesn't extend for miles (barring east along 56th) and some people may not be keen on facing office buildings (including a dental practice). You do have privacy if you're sitting down on the basic patio furniture provided. Not a criticism in any way, but hopefully useful info. Thanks to some outrageously good September weather, we were treated to beautiful starlit skies, and it was great to sit outside the room and watch the moon make its way across the sky. Inside, the huge lounge was extremely comfortable, the kitchen stocked with hob, fridge, microwave etc and the bedroom came with a huge comfortable bed and plenty of storage (including a safe).

The apartment and the location.

Location was great. Staff very friendly.

It is a wonderful place in a nice location. Me and my wife chose the room with a balcony. The view was towards other buildings and jo street view, but the balcony is very big. The room itself had 2 bathrooms and 1 bedroom. 2 tvs, 1 in bedroom other in living room. A walk-in closet in the bedroom, with a king-size bed. 3 heater units that you can use to make it hot or cold. The room was nicely heated when we checked in. Kitchen has a dishwasher, fridge and freezer, oven, coffee machine( not k cup so bring ground coffee.) Overall great experience. With doorman downstairs. Location is very nice also, recommended !!
