The Hilton New York is twice listed on Yelp, so I am posting my review under both listings.
Unlike many a yelper, my recent Saturday night at the Hilton New York was splendid. (I may have benefitted from all the negative reviews... I wonder if they led to the great rate I got on my room and the hotel exceeded my low-expectations.)
The exterior of the Hilton and its lobby are outdated, but the hotel accomodated my early check-in and I was pleasantly surprised by my room on the 22nd floor (for which I paid $150 on Priceline). It was one of the largest rooms I have had in NYC (I visit at least once a year). My view wasn't fabulous, but compared to the brick wall I looked out at at my last NYC hotel, it was nice, sunny and the windows were broad. The couch and king bed were comfortable and the automatic footlights under the end tables and modern air conditioning were nice touches. I used the auto check-out on the cordless phone in the room and found the concierge extremely helpful.
My only complaint was that the bar downstairs closed really early (1:30AM) and the wine wasn't great.
As another reviewer noted, Hilton's toiletries are cheap and there aren't a lot of extras (no cushy bathrobes and slippers, etc.), so I don't know if I would agree with Priceline that it is a 4-star hotel. Therefore, I might give it a low rating if I paid $500/night, like some reviewers.
However, the concierge, my room and the location were all above average. Also, the Hilton has kiosks whereby you can check-in to your flight out of town. It seems very service-oriented in this regard.
In conclusion, if you can get a 3-star hotel rate at this Hilton ($200 plus or minus $50) when it isn't overbooked, then I think you will be happier than the reviewers who paid too much to stay at this hotel when it is really busy. Therefore, my 4-star rating reflects the value I received for the price I paid ($150/night). If I cost me more, I would rate it less.

Eh, ...
So the lobby is really nice. The room is decorated in a classy elegant way... but oh my god was it small! Fit the queen size bed, and a arm chair to the right and then the mini bathroom. The window view over looked over building roof tops, nothing special. Therefore we paid a ridiculous price for nothing. The room was clean and all but well not worth the amount of money we spent to stay at the "Hilton".. though I must say I loved the bar and restaurant located in this hotel. Great appletini's at the bar, nice atmosphere ( just don't eat the peanuts mix left on the table) lol... The restaurant had great food, again pricey yet good and a cozy atmosphere there.
The wait for Valet to bring our car back so we could leave the hotel was ridicullllllous! Over an hour, maybe close to 2? It was around Christmas time maybe that is why but still... where the hell was my car parked to take that long, china town NYC?
Overall a nice, clean hotel. Its a Hilton Hotel in NYC, so prepare to be raped for your money. ;)

this place is really pricey. Stayed here for $460/night plus all those misc fees and tax puts you at over $500. No flat panel tv, and wifi is $17
The place has a weak bar and super slow elevator when there's a convention. The better points are you're in the heart of it all, 4short blocks from the park, Times square, and everything else with a fast moving taxi line.
This was for Ad Tech, so all expensed. I would never recommend this for personal travel. If you need to save you can always get a huge chicken and beef plate from the street carts for $6.
For being their flagship hotel, it's really a disappointment. I stay there often but only because I'm on the company dime, Hilton lets me double dip on points (hotel + miles vs. one or the other) and it's close to the office.
The service is terrible, they really could care less about your comfort. I've had several bad experiences. One time there was construction that started at 4am. When I called the front desk, they brushed me off.
Don't send out your laundry! I was missing several pieces of clothing when I got my clothes back. The only upside was that I also got a new Victoria Secrets bra! Hahaha!!! If I was the one that lost it, I'd be piiiiissed!
They also have a pretty shoddy breakfast for Gold/Diamond members. It used to be that you could go down to the buffet, no more. They're feeling the cutbacks too it seems. Now it's just cold continental stuff that's just ok.
Oh and who the hell charges anymore for internet?!!! Hilton NY apparently...harumph!!! For how much they charge for their rooms, it's the least they can do.

Did a long weekend back in May. I've stayed here before and had a nice experience, which is why I returned. What a mistake! While the location of this property is good for midtown Manhattan hopping and close to the Broadway district, the rates were good and that's where the positive ends. Folks, you get what you pay for. Rooms are OK, but couldn't control the thermostat to make the room cool enough for my liking. Bed was so-so. Same with bathroom. Stopped at the bar in the lobby several times for drinks. Let's just say that the ladies of the evening seem to like the bar scene here as much as anyone. Lots of skeevy looking people, men and women, lots of pick ups and definitely not the place to sit back and tilt back a few. Restaurants were a complete rip off, even for NYC. $90.00 for 2 people at the buffet breakfast??? Cold, overcooked and unappealing food - talk about feeling ripped off!I Me thinks this is our last visit to the NYC Hilton.
None of my colleagues had a good experience at this hotel. It is in a good location but that is about it. It is definitely NOT worth the price and the service that we received - both for the hotel rooms and the conference room.

Cool location, nice lobby, courteous staff. But ridiculous price. I know we are in NY, but come on, I paid almost 500 for a regular (2 double beds) room.
Also, the cleaning service needs to step it up here. Upon checking in I saw that my bathroom wastebasket hadn't been emptied and there were huge chunks of peeled nail polish on the carpet next to the easy chair. YUCK.
sucked. for what you pay I expect a tv that works. better windows to block out the noise. and better bath ammenities. blah!
