St. Giles New York: The Tuscany & The Court Hotels

used hotel tonight to get a room in this hotel. We had such a good stay, only stayed for one night but would definitely go again and it was our favorite place that we stayed in during our trip.

Just OK, nice size room, a few blocks from Grand Central. No onsite restaurant and bar attached is not part of hotel. Expects more for the price and reputation of brand. Equal with a Hyatt or Marriott. Would not stay again.

Excellent hotel and the only downside is the outside noise. This is expected in NYC, but I recommend you bring ear phones if you don’t want to hear traffic, honking, outside noise all night long.
Very clean, spacious rooms. Great restaurant downstairs, nice staff, just a great, affordable place in a PERFECT location. Murray Hill is seriously my favorite NY neighborhood. Will stay here again without a thought!

All that glitter ain’t gold!!! Let me start by saying that this is my first EVER Unilocal post, and for it to be a negative post means it’s SERIOUS!!! I stayed at this hotel for just a night from yesterday ³⁄₂₅ until today ³⁄₂₆ and I must say that the place is very beautiful rooms seem homely and kept and the service people all seem very nice. BE WARY THOUGH I stayed in room 1600 in a beautiful deluxe suite only to wake up with several bite marks under my arm as well as a swollen lip and bitten up right hand, oh and also stained sheets… I’ve posted pics so you’ll see what I’m talking about. I called the front desk and the «MANAGER» came up to the room to take a look at the room I was in he said he’ll have someone follow up with me and never did. I then checked out and called a little later after getting home and once again the same «manager» said «oh they never came to the room? I’m gonna send them an email and have them call you» it’s now 9:19pm same day as checkout and never received a call. What kind of f-​ing service or empathy and care is that for a guest? and the sanitary issues with what seems to be a «luxe» hotel!!! Extremely pissed BE VERY CAREFUL FOLKS.

a getaway with the hubby is always fabulous when we are in NYC! This gem in Murray Hill is so chic. The lobby to the right has a place where you can sit and have drinks. further down the stairs there is a restaurant that looks busy.
The elevators are slow but I won’t hold it against this lovely hotel.
the rooms are gorgeous with the red chairs and massive baths.
This location is in the middle of everything–

This is our third or fourth time here. It’s in a convenient location. Service was helpful and polite. Room was clean and we had a great view. Ask for a room in the newly renovated rooms. So much nicer! We stayed for fan expo so got a convention rate. Would stay again.

I booked The Tuscany through the Hotel Tonight app. It was a great deal compared to all of the other hotels I considered.
The Tuscany is located in a very convenient location just a couple of blocks south of Grand Central. It’s a pretty perfect starting point for an NYC trip. We were also located super close to the Chrysler building and the UN.
The lobby is very small but beautifully decorated. The design scheme continues to the hotel rooms, which are stylish and VERY spacious. I think our room was around 350 square feet, which is much larger than the rooms at other hotels that I considered booking. And the bathroom was HUGE, with the most blissful rainfall shower. I really miss that shower.
The fitness facility is also very large, with several treadmills, bikes and ellipticals, as well as a punching bag, speed bag, free weights, weight machines and more. Such a relief!
Since this is a tiny boutique hotel, it doesn’t have tons of additional amenities. But since you’re in the middle of a major city, you can find great dining options just outside the door.
I’d consider booking this place again!

Checked in this past weekend November 21^st. Used the Hotel Tonight app and paid $ 198 all in. Check-​in went perfectly and after some nice banter with the woman checking us in we were upgraded to a beautiful corner room. The room itself was huge by NYC standards. No odors, and extremely clean. The huge bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in.
We did have a drink in the Asian themed bar area that leads to a restaurant. Talked briefly with the bartender who was friendly enough.
In short, (kind of) we would absolutely stay there again.

Booked a one night stay here through their site. Upon checking in, received a free room upgrade, which was awesome. The room was huge for a Manhattan hotel room for the price. Nothing was wrong with the room as I have seen previous comments about the conditions. Everything was perfect. The front desk even called to make sure we liked the room and to check if we needed anything else.

Front desk receptionist was horrible. He did not have any manors and was not helpful in providing explanations or solves to problems.

I travel weekly for work all over the world. So many places to choose in NYC… the Tuscany is awesome. clean, comfy, friendly staff, free wifi, best beds ever (Weston plush style), and amazing location. A quick walk to sooo much! And food all around you. Very convenient. I will stay again.

The things that made this hotel and room strange: The shower curtain didn’t close completely so the bathroom floor got drenched. They didn’t leave complimentary slippers and robes in the room even though it was advertised. Some of the lights in the room didn’t work.
Things I liked: Good location within walking distance to cafes, restaurants and Grant Park. Nice décor in the lobby and rooms. Friendly staff. Comfy bed. The room was large!
We spent $ 300 on this room and had a dirty window on a low floor so we thought it was a bit over priced since we didn’t have a balcony or any great visuals.
This isn’t a bad place to stay but we will likely try a different hotel next time.

Great service, great management by Daniel, Mike, and Diana. Rooms were very nice and clean. We were upgraded to a room with a view of Empire State. Close to Grand Central, Times Square, UN and many great restaurants.

Got the room through Hotel Tonight app for $ 175 after tax.
Location: 3 blocks away from GCS, subway station & busses. Keep in mind not all stations in NYC have elevators.
Staff/​service: (1) I’m a light sleeper, so I requested a quiet room away from the noise and elevator when I checked in. About 20 min after I got into my room, Nakia called to check on me and see if my room 1605 was to my liking. A very nice touch! (2) I didn’t see any coffee maker in my room, so I inquired about the coffee service in the morning. 5 minutes later, a housekeeping staff dropped off a coffee maker plus some ground coffee. Had I ordered a carafe of coffee from room service, it’d have been easily 5 bucks.
Room: generous size by NYC standard. Huge bed. Big bright bathroom. There’s a minibar in all rooms.
Gym: Good size
Misc: My room was quiet. Lots of lights in the morning and afternoon.
P. s.I had stayed at another boutique hotel near Bryant Park a few days later. While the other one had more character, at slightly higher price point, this one was much quieter and I got better sleep! If that’s an important factor for you, stay here.

Stayed here w/​my wife and three kids which is a ways a risky endeavor on Hotels Tonight deal. Fortunately, the hotel was perfect, huge room w/​two comfy queen beds, nice staff and solid location near Grand Central and a few good restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Got a great last minute deal and upgraded at check in, however room was a little run down and worn. Several of the lamps were partially broken and the carpet was stained. Love the no smoking policy, but unfortunately not adhered to in hall near our room. Otherwise good location, nice bar and restaurant attached and free wifi.

We had a wonderful stay at the Tuscany last week. We have stayed in many hotels in the city, and this one is by far the best of the lot. It’s all newly renovated and very beautiful. The entrance area is welcoming and clean, and the elevator has a really cool wall in it. This may sound stupid. Maybe I’m just easily amused by small things. But it was really pretty.
The room itself was perfect — spacious, clean, and comfortable. Everything was very luxe. Lovely oversized chairs, a huge cozy bed, a sitting area, a gorgeous bathroom. Even the toiletries were great!
The location was perfect for us, because we were bouncing back and forth between the lower east side and the more popular area around Rockefeller Center. It is so convenient to Grand Central, and there are some fabulous restaurants in the area as well.
The only reason I am giving this four stars instead of five is the service — I emailed concierge a couple of weeks in advance asking if they’d be able to do anything special for my daughter, because this trip was her gift from Santa. I just asked if they could do something simple like leave a note in the room telling her to enjoy her stay or something. They responded eagerly and said they’d love to do something for her. When we got there, the person at the desk had no idea what I was talking about, but asked the name of the person I spoke with. I gave her his name and she said she’d get it taken care of before my daughter went up to the room. But alas, nothing was ever done. I mean, it’s fine if you don’t want to do something special; I get it. But don’t tell me you will and then not do it. That kind of bummed me out.
We got a great price on this place through
, which I had never used before but found very easy. We’d certainly stay again.

I thought I was very satisfied with my stay at this place. I stayed for one of my interviews. It is conveniently located on Lexington which makes public transporter and car drivers’ life easy alike.
The room was Manhattan standard (meaning small), but had pretty good amenity. Bed and pillows were pretty comfy. Service a there front was good, too. Will recommend this place to people who visit the city

Stayed at St. Giles — The Court for a few days on a trip to New York with a few friends. It took us a while to find a hotel to stay in that was in a good location, and wasn’t ridiculously expensive, and this hotel did well. I’ve been to New York a few time before so I know in Manhattan hotel prices can be high and space might be limited, but I was okay with that. Four of us split a room with 2 Queen beds (well small Queens, but space is a premium in NYC) and we paid about $ 100/​night/​person. Our room faced the inner courtyard, meaning it was much quieter (well for New York) than a street view room.
Aside from the location, which again was excellent, and the price, which was reasonable. The rooms were a decent size, although the lack of plugins and wall outlets was annoying (although I realize this likely wasn’t an issue when the hotel was being built). There was free wifi, which was great, but it was hard to connect to (took a long time) and would often boot me off when I was online. Probably best to get that upgraded. Also not a complaint, by any means, just a funny observation that the toilet in the bathroom were kind of like the ones you see at a public facility in that there was no porcelain tank. The suction power of the toilet was really strong.
One of the elevators also stopped working on our first day there, but it was working later that day. The staff were helpful in pointing out the service elevator (which was close to our room) in case the elevator went out of order again.
The staff were rather helpful in making recommendations for dinner, helping with directions when need, storing luggage, and making sure we had a taxi when needed (although The Court is right off Lexington so getting a taxi was pretty easy). We had asked for 2 fridges in the room, and when the room only had 1 fridge the staff were quick to put in a spare fridge for us.
The hotel and the entire neighbourhood felt very safe and clean. It is quite busy in midtown, but all things considered this hotel was rather quiet. If I was going to New York I’d definitely consider staying at one of the St. Giles properties again.

Arrived here on Friday around 4:30pm by taxi from JFK (about $ 60 & 30 min ride). I was greeted by 2 doormen who helped me with my luggage. Very attentive gentlemen. There were 2 agents and a concierge ready for me immediately so check-​in was a breeze. I was put in room #503 with a city view (see my pics). The room was contemporary and about 400 sq ft. pretty spacious by New York standards. Some details:
1) King Bed with fresh linens.
2) LCD TV with oversize desk.
3) Oversize dress mirror by the bed.
4) Big & deep closet with dresser.
5) Small lounge chair by the bed.
6) Tivoli Radio /​Alarm.
7) Free internet with good reception.
8) Philosophy bathroom products.
9) Bathtub & Shower with good pressure & hot water.
The location of the hotel is about 2 blocks from Grand Central station. You can actually take the Subway to JFK (7 Train, E Train, then Airtrain). Steps away to some amazing mom & pop restaurants & grocery stores (see my next reviews). Liqour & Wine store is about ½ block but hotel also has a cool bar lounge with daily happy hour.
I didn’t give it 5 stars because there were few things that were overlooked. The walls were thin so I heard my neighbors everytime they turned on the faucet /​shower. woke me up a few times early in AM and while taking a nap :) I guess most NY hotels are built in the same manner. The outlet in my bathroom didn’t work so had to use blow dryer in the bedroom. Good thing that there were an abundance of outlets in bedroom. Housekeeping skipped cleaning my room on the last day of my stay but they do clean room daily. Overall, these were not deal breakers. The hotel is clearly a gem because of the cleanliness, room size, location & excellent service by staff. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends.
