Hotel New York

Hotel New York is a distinctive historic property in a former Holland America headquarters, with maritime décor, riverfront character, and a location especially convenient for cruise departures. Guests consistently value the atmosphere, waterfront setting, nearby transport, and walkability. Rooms vary by category and outlook, so the experience can range from spacious and scenic to notably compact. It suits travelers seeking history and atmosphere more than a standardized modern hotel. Many guests describe comfortable beds, attractive rooms, and strong cleanliness, but room size is not uniform. Two stays described very small rooms, including one where there was barely room to open suitcases. Some guests also mentioned maintenance needs, a cold room that did not warm, and difficult stair access. The building’s age contributes to its charm, though travelers wanting contemporary finishes or generous floor space should choose their room carefully. The property offers a restaurant, bar, breakfast buffet, room service, Wi-Fi, luggage storage, bicycle rental, and concierge-style assistance. Breakfast is often praised, but dinner feedback is mixed, with several guests finding restaurant food mediocre, terrible, or inedible. One breakfast request could not be accommodated, and one dinner service involved a prolonged wait without drinks or follow-up. Nearby restaurants provide useful alternatives. The hotel is exceptionally practical for cruise travelers, with the terminal described as an easy walk across the street. Arrival can be less convenient for guests with mobility limitations or heavy luggage because several accounts mention stairs, a steep entrance, or slow vertical access. Parking is available but charged separately, and breakfast, late checkout, cots, and extra beds can also involve additional fees. Check-in begins at 3:00 PM. The waterfront Feijenoord setting offers river views, nearby restaurants, public transport, water taxis, and easy access to the cruise terminal. A construction project has disturbed at least one stay and may affect rooms facing that direction during daytime hours. The hotel is a strong fit for cruise stopovers, history enthusiasts, and travelers who value location and atmosphere. It is less suited to guests needing step-free access, expansive rooms, or consistently strong on-site dining.
