Great spot!
Great little boutique hotel in Hell’s Kitchen! Very close to the theaters and lots of great food. The staff was excellent and the hotel was very clean. Continental breakfast was good. One thing to know is that they have two different buildings and if you end up in the second building, there are three floors and no elevator but otherwise this day was great.

The location is the best; it is a 5-minute walk to Times Square and there are a lot of restaurants on the street.
The breakfast is very good with a good choise (the croissants come from a close-by bakery).
The receptionist is very friendly.
I recommend this hotel.

Mindblowing customer service
I was blown away by the kindness and helpfulness of the hotel staff. We got a message right after booking asking if we were ok with stairs, and we were. Our room was on the 3rd floor and we appreciated having this expectation ahead of time. We arrived early and they held the bags for us. When we checked in, bags were in our room! When we checked out, we just left the bags in the room and they held them for the rest of the day. The room was very clean and cozy. Decent amount of room for NY. Beds were a bit hard and shower was somewhat of a challenge trying to get temperature right. No hot breakfast, but what they did have (free) was of great quality. They helped us get our bags to the car as its challenging to park on the street.
I would absolutely stay again any time I am in NY, best service I have seen even considering I travelled a lot in midwest.
Also just an 8 min walk to Times Square and lots of restaurants around.

Convenient stay.
We had a nice stay at Hotel Scherman. Employees were nice and helpful. Hotel is located very close to Times Square but nice that it’s a few blocks over that we weren’t in the center of it all the whole time. Added bonus from the hotel was that they held our luggage the day we got in until our room was ready and they held our luggage at checkout until we were ready to go. We stayed on the side that didn’t have an elevator so we had to truck it up and down the steps to our room. Beds could have been a little more comfy but overall was a great experience and we would stay there again.

Hotel Scherman, newly renovated.
Hotel Scherman is an amazing, small hotel near Times Square. From the moment you walk in until checkout, the staff is courteous, friendly, and helpful. Erik went above and beyond to assure our stay was the best. Whether it was offering us hotel umbrellas to use or answering questions the service from all staff exceeded expectations. The room was spacious and spotless with all amenities. My inly personal issue was the mattress was too firm. I recommend Hotel Scherman to anyone wanting a personal touch. I'll be back.

Great small hotel in popular location
Lovely small hotel that is clean, quiet, comfortable in popular location. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and feel recently redone. Although the area is busy, near Times Sq and theaters, our room was absolutely quiet.

Lovely little hotel - ideal location
Lovely little hotel - very small and not necessarily what I was expecting but rooms were of a good size, service was really good and bar next door was great with fab food!
We had a few issues with our safe not working in room but hotel were great at coming straight to room to fix it.
The only downside was ordering a cab for our return flight to JFK via the hotel. We were told that we could pay using card. The cab driver was 15mins late & then advised using google translate that he only accepted cash. This meant we had to get out of the cab and flag down a yellow cab. This was the only negative for us with the hotel, given they said it’s a taxi firm that they use regularly. Otherwise, lovely hotel in a superb location!

100% Recommend.
We loved our stay at Hotel Scherman. Great service from all the friendly staff, super comfy and accommodating room and a fantastic location just on the edge of Times Square. The Tavern next door was also great. Totally recommend. The roof terrace would be a huge advantage in the hotter months too.
