My boyfriend and I stayed at 6 Columbus for four nights at the beginning of April and had a fantastic stay. Now I'm considering it for a trip in the fall with my sisters. When we got to the hotel, we were greeted at the taxi cab's door by the very friendly doormen. I have to commend the hotel on the doormen they have working for them...what fantastic and friendly personalities they all have! Our room wasn't ready upon arrival, so the manager gave us complementary drinks at the Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar - a great little bar to frequent before dinner or when you come back from a long day of shopping (get the grapefruit cocktail listed on the menu!). This simple gesture was a great indication of the stay we were going to have. Once we got up to our room on the 7th Floor, we were surprised at how cozy and lovely it was. The room was small (I believe we booked a Queen Superior), but that is normal in New York, and neither of us were bothered by it. There were cute little touches all about the room - magazine racks with up-to-date publications in them, like Time Out New York, a vase with a real flower on the nightstand, an i-pod dock, under-the-bed storage. The bed was lovely, and very comfortable. Every night we slept very well. The bathroom was a good size with a deep tub, so no showers overflowed onto the floor. There was a window/shelf in the shower to place your toiletries. The toiletries - by Fresh - that the hotel supplied were fantastic. The towels we so fluffy! OH! And the best part of the bathroom - the heated floor in front of the shower area! It was fantastic in the morning to step onto a heated floor and I even found myself standing on it after our long days of walking. My only "issue" with the room is that after we both showered, the room itself got rather humid and muggy. The location of the hotel was fantastic. There was a subway stop right across the street where we could get downtown very quickly. One of the nicest things was being able to get up, grab a coffee at Bouchon Bakery across the street, and take a morning walk in Central Park. I had reservations about staying uptown, but ended up being very pleased with our location because I liked having the access to the Park, the Upper East Side, and being able to get downtown to Soho so quickly and easily. As I said up above, I am already considering 6 Columbus for a trip in the fall and would recommend it highly! From the staff to the comfy towels and bed to the fantastic location, I could not have picked a better place to stay!

Absolutely loved this place. Will definately stay there again. Service was excellent. Linen, towels, bath rob....flat screen TV just like at home. Staff are very friendly and very cooperative. Had a blast

I booked this hotel for two nights, but left shortly after arriving. The "King Superior" room is the tiniest NY hotel room I have ever (almost) stayed in. It is uncomfortably small, to the point of claustrophobia. There is a floating desk against one wall, but no chair to sit in - nor even would one fit between the desk and foot of the bed. The bathroom is basic and, although renovated, is crowded and equally uncomfortable.

We just got back from a long weekend in New York and a wonderful stay at 6 Columbus. Firest let me say that the concierge Rocks! Raquel and Eric were amazing at setting up a series of events for my partner's birthday celebration. Everything was perfection. The room at 6 Columbus was very large for New York. We booked a Studio Suite which had a balcony almost as big as the room. Everything about 6 Columbus is very cool. The room lighting/linens furniture and bathroom are all top notch. Blue Ribbon Sushi was fatastic too! I would highly recommend this boutique hotel for anyone who likes a little "edgy swank" in the hotels.

We spent 13 nights at this fantastic hotel. Originally booked a deluxe King at an excellent rate on Perfect Escapes but found a great deal for a suite on Tablet Hotels web page although we stayed in a Studio King on our first night. Long story but handled very well by the hotel & we loved that room too. It was huge with a balcony & enormous bathroom & good view of a corner of Central Park but we decided to move to the suite. We were given the choice & it was a hard choice actually! But the rooms of the suite were very quiet, beautifully appointed with clever design features & gave us plenty of space for a long stay & overlooked 58th St & the Time Warner Center with a glimpse of Central Park as well, & exactly as portrayed on the hotel's web site. Nadia kept it in great shape for us during our stay & it was lovely to see her smiling face every day. The delightful Julian welcomed us on arrival after our long flight from Australia, charming Caeser showed us to our room & greeted us by name every time we saw him again. As did everyone at this gem of a hotel including Ciaron & Stan who run a fabulous bar & helped make our stay so fantastic, along with Richard & all the staff at the marvellous Blue Ribbon Sushi restaurant where we ate several times. Terrific menu, sublime food & decor & most reasonably priced. Getting around NYC was as easy as. Great subway across the road literally seconds away but anytime we needed a taxi Anthony & Parry were always on hand & must be two of the most affable doormen in town....aside from the others working at this hotel. Room service swift & not at all expensive for a hotel of this stature & location and neither was the well stocked mini bar. Free internet & breakfast downstairs in the mornings...which we never got to eat! Too many laughs at night in the bar! This was my 6th time in NYC. Have stayed in a variety of hotel types but wanted to try somewhere new. Doubt that I would ever stay anywhere else again unless rates go through the roof which they might well do. Then again I would probably pay them as we had such a magnificent time. An easy walk to theaters, Whole Foods across the street for a quick bite, Chemist & Starbucks next door & anything else you might need close by. We are kinda fussy travellers but appreciate service par excellence & a hotel that turns out to be what it portrays to be. No wonder we can't help but be blown away by this wonderful stay at 6 Columbus. Spend the extra for a suite, studio or deluxe room & have a ball! We feel indebted to everyone associated with this hotel & wish them continuing success

We chose to stay in Six Columbus because of the great location and reviews found here at TripAdvisor. I would recc. this hotel to those looking to explore the city and indulge themselves at a boutique hotel. The hotel was very clean and the staff was quite helpful and courteous. The location is top notch directly across from the shops at Columbus Circle which houses a Whole Foods which is perfect for a tasty and inexpensive breakfast. Next door to the hotel is Starbucks, a bit further you will find a Duane Reade and Dunkin Donuts. You will find Central Park 2 minutes away and Times Square is a quick 12-15 minute walk from the hotel. Many subways are literally found right outside the front door of the hotel. We had a weak wireless internet signal that was not protected, minimal noise from inside or outside the hotel, newspaper each morning and the best mini-bar and snacks I've ever seen. Our room was a good size - Queen superior and loads of space for all of our luggage. The few downsides we noticed were: The heater did not heat up the room (I wanted 82 and it would only reach 69). I had to sleep with a hoodie on for two nights to keep warm. We notified the front desk twice and upon check out we were told it was a problem within the entire hotel and they were working on it. Very strange that the cleaning staff NEVER left the right amount of towels - not even when we checked in. First day no hand towels, then no face towels, then again no hand towels. Very strange, but housekeeping quickly bought up the towels when requested. Lastly, we could not get a seat in the bar or dining area on the two nights we tried. Yes, we could have called ahead, but as a guest at any other hotel I've stayed in this has never been a cause for concern. Even with the few downsides, I'd stay here again.

Found this hotel mostly by reviews on this website and others, and due to the fact that it had a really nice daily rate compared to other, trendy hotels in NYC. I have lived in NYC but not visited much (and usually stayed with friends and family when I did) and therefore have very little to compare this to with regards to other Manhattan hotels. Overall my wife and I really liked the hotel. The room was very nice, clean, and with a comfortable bed and a nice TV. It was also very small with a view of an airshaft and a tub made for a Hobbit. Having lived in a small place in Manhattan myself this did not bother me much, but I can see someone not used to such cosy quarters having trouble with it. Only other problems were that they kept having laundry delivery problems resulting in not having washcloths for two days... Also give you the Post (the Post??) and the Wall Street Journal is in the lobby; are they also in the Rupert Murdoch empire? To be fair they did offer to send someone out to get me the Times, but it wasn't worth having to tip the same price as the paper. The location is great with easy access to A,C,B,D,1,2,3 trains, Central Park, Midtown, and UWS and the Village. I was really impressed with the bar at Blue Ribbon Sushi (bartenders were awesome) and the food was good. Unfortunately the sushi was inferior to the fried chicken which was great. Go for the alcohol. Overall it was a nice week and a nice hotel. Would definitely stay there again if for no other reason than it is a nice place in a good location.

We stayed at the hotel because we had reservations for dinner at Per Se. The location can't be beat - it was across the street from the Time Warner Center. The employees were very courteous. There is a Duane Reade (or Rite Aide or similar drugstore) right next door in case you need something the hotel doesn't provide. When we checked in they said they were upgrading us to a King Deluxe, but the bed was not a king. Not a problem since the room was not too small. We were too exhausted to complain. Bathroom is decent with heated floors (but only half the floor was heated, by the sink but not in front of toilet or shower/bath). Fresh bath products. Turndown service at night. Inner rooms look out onto rooftop or shaft area. Loud AC unit from nearby buildings may keep you up at night if you are a light sleeper. Subway stop across the street. Whole Food Market in the TW Center has a great food court for a snack to go. Right next to Central Park.

i cant belive this is a 4 star hotel!! yes the service was very nice and helpful but the room was just silly, i would say maybe 90sf!! i did not know that you could have a 4 star hotel with a full bed(two adults cant sleep comfortable on a full bed!!) no chair! no storage space (had too keep cloths in our luggage and store it on the one small window sill over looking a ally) the bath room was so small you had to step out just to dry yourself and there was not even a place to put your soap or shampoo!! very thin walls also, hard to sleep when every time sombody gets off the elivator or opens there room door it is so loud it wakes you up!! maybe it was that i booked on priceline and they put us in the worst room in the hotel!! but looking on the web site and the regular prices that they charge it is way way overpriced!! $400-1200 a night for a glorified closet!!! i dont think so!!

My wife and I stayed at 6 Columbus for a Sat night in March 2008. The hotel looks like its brand new. Its a smaller building on 58th and 8th Ave, but right off of the famous Columbus circle and on the corner of Central Park so the location is quite central to midtown and upper west side. The stylings are quite modern and the staff were very attentive. We were upgraded from a pod room to a queen size bed for free which was great. That said, the hotel is a very small building, and the rooms are a little smaller than average, but two people don't really need more space than that. What matters is that the hotel is clean and brand spanking new. I would definitely recommend this hotel to couples with no children, but probably ONLY at the right price. I've heard the hotel rates average around $300 and up, but I got a greal deal on perfectescapes.com for $145 for a pod room. These may not last long as the hotel gains more and more popularity.

I have stayed at the 6 Columbus 2 months ago and decided to book again this hotel because I had liked my experience there. I also booked this time through quikbook, which is the way to get the best rates. I had given it a 4 star last time because I had trouble sleeping 2 of the 4 nights. There were rowdy boys next door and even if I called the front desk, the manager could not get them to quiet down. This time was totally different. I did not hear anything even if I was near the elevator. There are not many rooms per floor so there is less chance of people walking by your room. I booked the queen room this time because there were no pod rooms available but when you are alone, one or the other will do just fine. The staff is simply the best. I arrived at 9:30 in the morning and was given a room right away. Almost all the doormen recognized me and welcomed me back warmly. They treat everyone the same and that is the biggest compliment I can pay them. They don't cater to only the trendy clientele, they cater to everyone..even if you are not a 20something model:) The staff in the restaurant is the same. The manager Quint and the barmen, especially Keith, treat you warmly and I was even offered a nightcap when I stopped by in the evening before heading to my room. It is a great plus for the hotel because you feel like lingering there even if you are on your own. They take great care of you. I would love finding something to complain about because then I could write to the manager and hope for complimentary nights in return, but I can't find anything negative to say about this hotel. I just fear that I will not be able to afford it much longer when their prices will surely go up. d

If you a regular vistor to nyc you'll know that hotels are very expensive and you probably use craigslist to sublet. well that's what i normally do - but i found a really good rate on the hotel's website - 145 dollars for the standard room per night. now it is small - but where it lacks size it makes up for other things. the location is perfect - i walked everywhere - even in the snow. it's right by the subway - and if you take the train to the airport - that's just 2 dollars and 45 minutes on the express train... it's right next to my favourite store - wholefoods - so i was in their everyday. and then right by the park and near all the shops on fifth avenue. the staff are very young - and trendy - but very helpful. the room was very nice - clean and excellent minibar. there was a complimentary copy of the new york times everyday - and that's the only way to get news outside the states - unless of course you watch cnn!!!1 the bathroom was cool - heated floors - and fresh brand cosmetics - watch the shower - very hot - but lovely then you can wrap up warm in the cosy bathrobe. all in all for 145 bucks a night it was great - i would definitely go again - but if i stayed longer or with someone else i would go for a bigger room. oh yes the bed was lovely - too

Did a last minute trip to NYC with my girlfriend and was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in a "Pod" room which was quite small but very clean and well appointed. The bathroom was a normal size. The entire hotel has been redone is very chic. The hotel bar is small but cool. And, you are right across the street from the Time Warner mall/building....and right by the park. We got a great rate of $125/night from www.quikbook.com and couldn't pass it up. I would highly recommend this property. If you require space, do not stay in the Pod room. We didn't plan on staying in our room very much, so it met our needs.

I was very pleased with my one night stay at 6 Columbus. They had a minor computer glitch which caused a brief delay in my check-in (no more than 5 minutes), and they upgraded me to a "deluxe" room to make up for that. The staff were very friendly and made a point to address me and other guests by name (even the bellmen). The room was small but very comfortable, and the bathroom amenities by Fresh were a nice touch. At the $199 rate I got on ---.com, it was a good deal and I would definitely stay there again.

Had a great stay at 6 Columbus in January! I found the staff to be very nice and attentive. The decor is fabulous in the lobby...It's got a very young, hip vibe. (Also had great food in the restaurant--Blue ribbon.) The rooms are small w/ no view (at least for us), but that's what I expect in New York...But, all of the elements in the room were nice...great linens, a flat screen TV, fresh products in the bathroom. My only complaint might be that we were close to the elevator and I heard it in the morning. Overall, great experience. So nice that I'm sure I won't be able to afford it when the hotel is completely finished!

Surprised by excellence of this hotel; welcoming staff, nice atmosphere (good music everywhere), lovely design and heavenly beds. We've booked the hotel directly and did get a good deal for a hotel of this category. Location was good because of many metro-connections, nice area with many locations for breakfast (Pain Quotidien etc). We were very happy to have been staying in this upmarket area instead of Times Square and other midtown locations

First off, TripAdvisor needs to immediately correct this hotel's one-star rating as well as its average "$802 per night" rate. Both are skewed on criteria to which I am not aware. I am a former native New Yorker, and I've stayed (both before and following my move) in a variety of the city's best hotels ... as well as a few of its worst. Including this one in its previous incarnation, where I had the displeasure of seeing mice periodically pop their heads through holes in the pink shag carpet. (I only wish I was kidding.) Thankfully shag and mice have long since dispersed. I received a rate of $145/night -- for a queen room, not one of the now-infamous "pods" -- via booking directly through their own Web site. Even considering the nosedive NYC hotel rates take in January and February, that's a total steal. That said, my room was nonetheless very small, and I banged my shins on that infernal platform bed on multiple occasions. I also had some issues with my A/C-heat system, which is the only reason I'm not giving this place five stars. The location next to the Columbus Circle subway stop makes it a perfect juncture for reaching most areas of the city via subway, and although it's too cold to appreciate it this time of year, I'm sure its location practically next door to Central Park will prove a major bonus as well. Blue Ribbon, for those of you unfamiliar with the city, is one of its best "minichains" (with only 4-5 total), and the 6 Columbus location is its first uptown. I ate there and was highly, highly impressed: it's some of the best sushi in a city filled with formidable sushi restaurants, including the infamous Masa across the street. Sadly, it looks like management is already onto the fact that they priced the rooms too low: their winter rates are already up 50% (to $215/night for this upcoming weekend - on their site, not Quikbook).

While the staff was very friendly and service oriented, this was one of the most ridiculous of the 100+ nights I have spent in a NYC hotel! In my first room (which was so small, I hurt myself when I turned around) the telephone didn't work. After 3 visits from the non-English speaking "facilities guy," the apologetic front desk clerk gave me a new room. While this room was no bigger, at least it didn't look onto the airshaft covered with pigeon droppings. All was well until I returned to my room at 11:00PM and tried to turn on the heat to take the chill off the 60 degree room. No heat. No facilities guy. No other rooms. No luck. While the Sushi restaurant in the lobby is "happening", it was the only kitchen functioning. Breakfast was stale pastries and lukewarm coffee while room service was a 3-ring binder of NYC delivery services. If you are a fasting Liliputian, this is a great place. Otherwise, go down the street or around the corner.

We visited NYC from the UK for a 5 night stay at the end of November/beginning of december and the hotel was excellent put simply! The staff are really friendly and helpful (down to earth friendly not [-] kissing friendly!). They all were polite and we enjoyed chatting to them as we left in the morning and returned later in the day. Concierge was really helpful right down to booking a table at a sushi restaurant for us a few blocks over when we realised the one downstairs was closed on Mondays.... We had a pod room, which did face the building at the back but ultimately it's that or the busy street at the front of the hotel- I know which one I'd prefer (and did!). It was adequate size wise as was the bathroom (heated floor and powerful shower were just the job after being out all day). The bed was massive and possibly the most comfy we've slept in! Flat screen tv was just the ticket as was the ipod stereo on the bedside table. location wise the hotel can't be faulted. We ended up walking most places as nothing was more than a 20 - 30 min walk away really- time square was about 20 mins max, 15 if you didn't have to keep stopping to cross the roads. And if that sounds alot believe me there is more than enough to keep you entertained walking around! Yellow cabs could be got right outside on those occasions we didn't fancy the walk, on our final day we got a yellow cab down to the Staten Island ferry port for about $18 then spent the afternoon walking up to the hotel stopping for coffee and shopping along the way. If you walked it with no stops you'd be looking at 1.5 hours or so. Sushi restaurant and bar are super cool (as the hotel in general really), pastries and coffee in the morning in the bar watching the world go by is a good way to start the morning, and tasty sushi in the evening in relaxed surroundings a good way to end it. The one negative was that the room we had was at the end of a corridor (with two other rooms)- some nights we got a bit of noise (lift door "ding" or a door slam). This was reduced by closing the door that allowed access to the three rooms so all in all not a big issue. We used a generic hotel booking website so got a decent deal. I'd happily recommend this hotel and make a return visit in the future. When we go to London we stay at a hotel called The Hoxton and this hotel is very similar in style, atmosphere and comfort. All round excellent.

It was a busy week in NY and I had trouble finding a room at a good hotel (I'm picky) so I decided to give 6 Columbus a try. The staff is well trained, the doorman asks your name when he takes your bag and then radios inside so that you are greeted by name at the desk. As I came and went from the hotel, I was always addressed by name. I arrived around 1pm and they were able to provide a room then. I had a queen deluxe room. It did face the narrow alley but I would much prefer that to the noise of 58th street. There is no view on 58th, it is a narrow street and looks onto the glass building of the TimeWarner center. The room size is typical of a NY boutique hotel - small but comfortable and well appointed. I'd rather have a smaller nicer room than a large yucky room. (If you want large and yucky, I can give you that list.) Everything is new and clean which is always a plus. There is a small wardrobe instead of a closet so don't overpack but it is adequate. The bathroom is small also (I had one with a tub) but manageable once you figure where to put things. It might be a little cramped for 2 people, depending on how well you like each other! The doors are heavy and do slam loudly so in the morning if you are not an early riser you'll probably hear them. Each room has it's own central ac/heat which is nice and not the norm in New York. Unless it is a new building or completely renovated, you don't have much temperature control in many NY hotels. I like having my room cold at night and toasty in the morning so I appreciate the unit. But I do have to mention that the fan is very loud but it makes for good white noise for sleeping and drowning out slamming doors. The pictures on the hotel's website are accurate. There is a japanese/sushi restaurant in the hotel which was good but when it's not open, you have to go out which isn't really a big deal. But if you like to have room service in the morning, this isn't the hotel for you. There is coffee/tea and pastries in the lobby until 10am but you have to fetch it yourself. I have stayed at/checked out many hotels in the area and this one is probably one of the nicest. The Peninsula and FS are my favorites but taking a step down from those, if this is the area you want to be in, I'd recommend it. Since it's a new hotel without much history, you can email me if you have a specific question.

Stayed at 6 Columbus for two nights over Marathon weekend. While the address is listed as 6 Columbus Circle, note that the front door is actually on 58th Street, just west of 8th Avenue, so don't go driving around the Circle looking for it. The marquee has a big lit "6" on it, so pretty easy to spot once you know where to look. Excellent work by all the staff during my stay, from the doormen (who managed to get me a cab during post-Marathon chaos) to front desk staff (who actually seemed pleased to welcome you and interested in how your stay was). Smaller lobby, often full in the evenings of people waiting to get into the Blue Ribbon Sushi resto, but very comfortable and stylish. Had reserved through Quikbook and had no problems with the reservation. Wasn't able to get the King I had requested, but got a Queen at a reduced rate instead. Have paid more at the midtown Hilton for less. Not a big deal. Room was quite spacious given that this is an older, refurbished hotel, and in New York. Great LG flat screen, iPod dock/clock radio, mini-bar and easy to work safe. Brilliant bed and linens, although I echo one of the previous reviews about being careful of the platform bed corners! Travelling alone and for a short time, I had no issues with clothes space, although a longer stay with two people might face a challenge. Good sized bathroom with heated floor. Shower with superb pressure, drainage and hot water. Only complaint is that the shower itself is a little narrow, so a couple of funny bones were hit over the course of the weekend. However, a small price to pay for a hot pounding shower that didn't leave you standing in six inches of soapy water by the end. My room was towards the rear of the hotel, so no 58th Street noise, although there was a bit of noise from the ventilation system, whether in my room or in the large vent outside or both, but not a big disturbance. Understand that a bi-level rooftop bar will be opening soon, and that will be a great addition to a very solid hotel. Assuming they keep the quality up after the high of opening (which just happened in October), this will be one to remember for the future.

I stayed at this place with my girlfriend for three nights. After trying to find a place that would suite our needs for this trip for more than a week I finally came upon the 6 on Columbus. We reserved a Pod Room (due to our limited budget) and were completely happy with it. Upon arriving we were greeted by extremely polite staff. Everybody working for the hotel was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was very clean, nicely designed and comfortable for two people who use it as a place to relax after hitting the streets of New York. In the morning we found coffee and a selection of good tasting baked goods in the lobby. The location of perfect. It is in walking distance to everything in midtown Manhattan right on the SW corner of Central Park. A subway station is across the street. There are several shops and restaurants around. We would stay here anytime again.

Take a very old, tired hotel, give it some fancy decor and duvets, put cow hide in the elevators and you've got 6 Columbus. The walls are paper thin, the plumbing is noisy, the doors are only able to close with a slam and the narrow hallways carry echoes and the sound of your neighbors talking. Add to that the view of an airshaft covered in bird droppings and a window splatted with concrete that the owners haven't bothered to have cleaned off and I submit this hotel as the worst night's sleep I've ever had. In the morning I asked to speak to the hotel manager. The guy at the desk named Saye said he was the manger. I asked are you THE manager, again he said yes. I politely told him about my problems and he said he could only apologise but no-one else had complained. Note: the hotel had only been open 3 weeks, so no exactly a great record. I asked for his card and he gave me it along with his title - Assistant Front Desk Manager. Yes, he lied that he was THE manager of the hotel. He refused to accept any responsibility for the quality of the hotel or my visit and simply turned his back on me and walked into the back office. And the cost for all of this? $400 for a 10X12 foot room.

I booked the "pod room" at quikbook for $220 a day. Hotel is tiny and chic. The pod room has a full size bed and almost no furniture at all -- no desk, sofa, etc. That didn't bother me since I was not there for business anyway. Bed is EXTREMELY comfortable. Bathroom's ventilation system doesn't work too well -- like most NYC hotels. Complimentary breakfast (bakery) DELICIOUS. Location is the best -- close to subway, Time Warner Center, Central park, Lincoln center and lots of good restaurants (Jean Georges, Masa and Per Se all within walking distance!!) Very good for people who want to stay away from Time Squares but do not want to miss out the night life and good food...

We too stumbled into a last-minute reservation via quikbook ... we figured we would likely end up in one of the least desirable rooms - and we did ... the room was tiny, there is virtually no furniture (other than the bed), and storage space is definitely limited ... on the plus side, the double-bed was extremely comfortable ... having a view of an air ventilation shaft has its positive side: no street noise ... due to a mishap (i won't mention here), we were upgraded mid-visit to a larger room (with furniture!) ... this was a little nicer and had a view of 58th rather than an air shaft ... the front desk staff and doormen were all nice and tried to go out of their way to be friendly and helpful ... the other persons working at the hotel (e.g. support staff) were obviously not counseled in the art of interacting with guests which resulted in some disappointing experiences ... all in all, it was a positive experience ... the location is great and the rooms were pretty good (who goes to NYC to hang out in their hotel room anyway?) .... I would stay there again given the right rate ...

6 Columbus, located just across the street from the AOL Time Warner building, is a great addition to the New York City hotel scene. The Thompson Hotel Group's newest addition delivers a comfortable, residential contemporary experience, with a location that is second to none. This boutique property offers all the comforts of home, with Central Park at your doorstep. Upon my arrival, I was warmly greeted by a staff that was certain to please. I was given a Pod Room, which is the hotel's smallest room category. The room is truly designed for one person, but unlike previous hotel experiences, I wasn't at all bothered by the small size of the room. 6 Columbus has done an excellent job at designing the room in such a way, that you feel cozy and at home. The room was equipped with a Full Size bed with quality linens, a good sized bathroom with a tub/shower combination, a 42" LCD television, and a snack basket with great goodies. I would not recommend this room if you're planning on doing business, or sharing with someone, as there is little room to work or share. My room was located on the back side of the hotel, so there was very little noise or disturbance. If you are traveling with others, I would most definitely suggest booking a queen or larger room category, as they would afford greater space all around. The location is truly unbeatable, as you have all of midtown Manhattan at your disposal, including the ever handy AOL Time Warner Center. The center is literally right across the street from the hotel, and has all the shops you might need including a Whole Foods Market which came in handy for breakfast and lunch. Be certain to look for competitive rates, which may be found on Quickbook.com or approaching the hotel directly. My rate was extremely good, so I found great value in my experience. If I was however faced with paying $500 for a Pod Room, I may have walked away with a different impression. All in all, a fantastic experience, and one which comes with great service, style and location. I would highly recommend 6 Columbus for tourists, business travelers or anyone looking for a quiet low key boutique experience in Mid Town Manhattan.

We enjoyed THE BEST night's sleep EVER in NYC. At one of those times of the year when you think you'll never be able to afford to stay in New York City again, and almost not even get ANY room, we were able to book this hotel at a ridiculous rate only 2X the national debt. On arrival the extremely nice, laid back, and casually attired door men (2) greeted us, ran in and told the front desk staff our names, so we could be "GREETED" and then the very helpful Joelle told us the two nicest things you can hear when checking in: (1) you are getting an upgrade; and (2) your room is ready. This was great, as we were heading to an important biz mtg. The room was darkly lit (only worse in Paris) and one of the design themes is the use of vintage 50's-70's furniture. Ouch! That was me banging my shins on the sharp corner of the king platform bed, ... but Hey, we are Hip!!! The TV was the slightest-bit hung crooked, but so was the art, and who cares, we are HIP! The bathroom was great, even if the tub was more than a bit too narrow and the hooks hanging the shower curtain were sprung so it came off the rod.....but Hip! The water was HOT, the amenities LUXURIOUS, the bed THE MOST COMFORTABLE IN LAST 10 YEARS, absolutely the BEST night's sleep in NYC, totally QUIET, and isn't this what counts. You cannot entertain in your mini-suite (emphasis on MINI), but one can work at the desk while the other luxuriates in sleep in the tiny but adequate Bedroom. The continental breakfast in the lobby is less than that but with Starbucks next door and Whole Foods in Time Warner Center, right across the street, it's not a big deal. Prices are very reasonable most of the year, and at the crazy busy time of our trip 6 Col Circle was in line with the city-wide outrageous rates. We visit Lincoln Center regularly, so we WILL be back. But watch the corners of those platform beds!!!

6 Columbus, located just across the street from the AOL Time Warner building, is a great addition to the New York City hotel scene. The Thompson Hotel Group's newest addition delivers a comfortable, residential contemporary experience, with a location that is second to none. This boutique property offers all the comforts of home, with Central Park at your doorstep. Upon my arrival, I was warmly greeted by a staff that was certain to please. I was given a Pod Room, which is the hotel's smallest room category. The room is truly designed for one person, but unlike previous hotel experiences, I wasn't at all bothered by the small size of the room. 6 Columbus has done an excellent job at designing the room in such a way, that you feel cozy and at home. The room was equipped with a Full Size bed with quality linens, a good sized bathroom with a tub/shower combination, a 42" LCD television, and a snack basket with great goodies. I would not recommend this room if you're planning on doing business, or sharing with someone, as there is little room to work or share. My room was located on the back side of the hotel, so there was very little noise or disturbance. If you are traveling with others, I would most definitely suggest booking a queen or larger room category, as they would afford greater space all around. The location is truly unbeatable, as you have all of midtown Manhattan at your disposal, including the ever handy AOL Time Warner Center. The center is literally right across the street from the hotel, and has all the shops you might need including a Whole Foods Market which came in handy for breakfast and lunch. Be certain to look for competitive rates, which may be found on Quickbook.com or approaching the hotel directly. My rate was extremely good, so I found great value in my experience. If I was however faced with paying $500 for a Pod Room, I may have walked away with a different impression. All in all, a fantastic experience, and one which comes with great service, style and location. I would highly recommend 6 Columbus for tourists, business travelers or anyone looking for a quiet low key boutique experience in Mid Town Manhattan.

I got a good rate from Quikbook and decided to risk staying at a new hotel. I was unaware that this was a much hyped hotel until reading some web postings. If I could afford a bigger room, I'd consider coming back there to stay in that area again Positive * room was clean * everything worked well -- front desk had my reservation, room key worked first try. All components worked fine -- lights, sink, toilet, shower, TV, etc. * ipod charger was a nice touch * good location -- but entrance is actually on 58th street Negative * room was tiny -- about 12 ft x 12 ft -- no desk, no chair -- no stand to place the suitcase -- I had to leave it on the floor and ended up tripping on it several times * design elements were lost on me -- fur in the lobby and elevator was described by one employee as "pony fur". * photo over the bed didn't do much for me -- a photograph showing feet wearing high heel shoes sticking up in a car, with an airplane flying overhead * phone rang in the middle of the night -- no one was there * window faced airshaft

I actually booked a room at this hotel as a back up if Priceline didn't work out, but we decided to give it a shot. I am so glad we did! I was traveling to NY for an overnight with a friend. We wanted a good location and something besides your average bland, boring hotel room. You get it here! Six Columbus is located just a block off of Columbus Circle, and is super convenient to restaurants, the subway, Central Park and lots of shopping. My friend and I arrived in the city early after an abrupt change in plans and we stopped by the hotel around noon hoping we could leave our bags. However, they went above and beyond and let us have a room then. The staff was top notch~ everyone from the door men to the front manager, Saye, were helpful, polite and respectful. They repeatedly went out of their way to serve us. The hotel has a very modernist feel to it. It is very much a boutique hotel and what I consider to be one of the things that makes New York so unique. We had a King Superior room and It was smallish, mainly due to the size of the bed. However, it was worth it as the bed was WONDERFUL. And who does anything in a NY hotel room but collapse into bed after a day and night on the town, anyway? The bathroom was great as well with a deep tub, beautiful floor to ceiling tile and bath amenities by Fresh. The absolute only complaint I have about the entire hotel is the placement of the bathroom mirror. I am 5' 3" and I had to stand on my toes to see my nose in the mirror. It is not adjustable and the only other mirror is a full length one in the foyer. This made it difficult to apply makeup. However, I managed! One thing I loved was a small touch~ practically every light in the room, and there are many, has a dimmer. I love that attention to detail. There is a cozy Frette robe and an umbrella in the room available for rainy days. Also, there is a wonderfully stocked mini bar with treats from Dean and Deluca. Also~ GASP~ the prices were reasonable! The Dean and Deluca goodies were actually the same price that they are in the store. Also, there is a fun little extra called a "Shag Bag" and yes, it includes exactly the kind of items you are thinking it does! Plus, Bouchon Bakery does a wonderful continental breakfast in the lobby, and is located right across the street in the Time Warner Building for a little follow-up treat in the evening! So, bottom line is if you want to go to New York and feel like you stayed in a New York hotel, this is your place. You will not feel like you are walking into a Marriott by any stretch! I would definitely visit again.

6 Columbus is billed as a "boutique hotel," but if "boutique" means snooty, that was not the case here. The staff was super friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in at 10 a.m. and upgrading our room!! The hotel just opened, so everything is super new and clean. Lots of pillows, and a big comfy comforter. On the slightly down side, I couldn't manage to get the room cool enough. There is a lovely continental breakfast with good coffee and sweet and savory little pastries. They leave you a brownie on your pillow at night. We got great introductory price ($275 for a Saturday night and $199 for a Sunday night). I'm sure that was an aberration

My husband and I stayed at 6 Columbus the first week it was open for business! The address is 6 Columbus Circle, but the building is actually on 58th street (behind the Columbus Circle Shops). That was a little weird, but don't get me wrong it is still a great location! The front desk had us listed for a queen room, but easily changed us to a king superior when I showed my quikbook confirmation paperwork. We had a room on the 8th floor facing the back with a view of apartment buildings, but I didn't care...I wasn't in New York City to spend time in my room looking out the window. It was a good sized room approximately 200 sq ft...very comfortable king bed...awesome bedding and pillows...flat screen tv...nice bathroom...light blocking curtains. My husband (who has trouble sleeping with noise or light) and I had no problem sleeping late! There was coffee and danish from Bouchon Bakery in the lobby during the morning. The only negative I could say was that there is little storage (very small armoire, one large drawer under the bed, and one small shelf in the bathroom)...and the restaurant and rooftop bar weren't open yet when we were there. I was a bit worried that this hotel might be too pretentious for my taste. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable, yet professional manner of the staff (although some of the hotel guests appeared otherwise). The hotel is in an awesome location with many amenities literally across the street...shops (including Whole Foods), restaurants, bars, subway, Central Park, etc. We stayed for 2 nights (Sat/Sun) and the total with tax was $675...we know that we won't ever see that kind of deal again! 6 Columbus is trendy, yet comfortable!

Stayed at this hotel during its first week open. Rooms are BIG for NYC -- the standard queen is 200 sq. ft, deluxe is 250. The bathroom was large, furnishings modern, very cool vibe. Flat-screen TVs and iHome docks in every room, along with some other cool design features. The lobby isn't much but does make a nod to a 60s-style living room. Blue Ribbon sushi will be the in-house restaurant, which isn't too shabby, but in the meantime a continental breakfast was provided by Bouchon Bakery (also not too shabby). As it was opening week every effort was made by staff to be helpful, polite, etc. They were great. It's definitely a boutique hotel and thus you're not going to find a spa, gym, etc., but as an urban hotel it is really ideal for a weekend or short stay in NY. Price was greatly reduced for opening months...I'd be looking for deals if staying here later as the full-price rates are a bit much. Parking is an additional $45 per 24 hours, which is not terrible for Manhattan. This location, by the way, is ideal...right at the southwest corner of Central Park, opposite the Time-Warner Center and about 20 steps away from a subway station entrance that is a hub to nearly every line in the city. (Note: despite the name/address, the hotel is NOT in Columbus Circle proper...it's slightly off, on W. 58th between 8th and 9th Avenues!) Took 15 mins to get to Yankee Stadium and 15 minutes to get to SoHo via subway....also walkable to lots of attractions (Park, Midtown, etc.). When they get the roof deck open, it will be a fantastic view of the city!

In this area of NYC a hotel with less ambient music and vivid as the neighbours from the Hudson. Breakfast and dinner was a bit disappointing (for Europeans?) but the rooms were fantastic. Spacious, very clean, quiet. To go back!

I decided the visit NYC for a friend's party last minute. 6 columbus was offering a rate of $258 (total!), so i decided to check it out. the hotel is located at the southwest corner of central park, directly across the street from the time warner bldg. 5th ave is within walking distance, as well as other typical NYC attractions. it is very conveniently located. The hotel staff were absolutely charming. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is well designed visually... a sleek and attractive space. My room was a "pod" room. it was quite small, as was expected, but perfectly clean and well designed for its purpose. The bed was very comfy as well. my only critique involves the insulation of the room. I was in room 72, and the wind was quite loud. you could also hear doors opening and closing, etc. I will certainly return to the hotel, but maybe next time i will bring some earplugs. ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at 6 Columbus. The hotel is situated midtown, opposite the Time Warner Centre and within walking distance of Times Square, Central Park and all the important shopping streets. The hotel is small and intimate, the staff are very attentive and the concierge is very helpful. He arranged a fab night out for us and put us on all the guest lists. I was expecting a pokey room given the reviews, but the 'Pod' room really wasn't that small... the room comes with a very comfy bed, designer edibles, ipod docking station, flat screen and the bathroom even has heated flooring( oh and an amazing power shower). The hotel houses a very popular New York sushi restaurant, the food was pretty decent. The hotel is on the same street as the Hudson hotel( pay a visit to the bar) and also the Mo bar at Mandarin Oriental( the view of the city is amazing). All in all, can't fault this hotel. Does everything a hotel should, very comfy, central location and excellent attentive staff. Will be my New York sleeping spot going forward!!!

This hotel was brilliant. On arrival, the doormen asked for our names as we were a party of 6, and took our bags inside. When we were checking in, the manageress came out and asked was it OK that she had upgraded all of our rooms as she had seen it was a girls holiday!! Of course we said yes!! The rooms were spotless and the beds and pillows were the most comfy i can ever remember in any hotel I've stayed in! Each night the room was turned down and towels, toiletries and water was replaced. It was so close to Central Park, and the Time Warner building across the road has some nice shops and i would definitely recommend the Porter House restaurant in there too! We got great rates for this hotel on Quikbook.com and if i am lucky enough to get back to NYC, i'd definitely stay there again!! Well worth a visit!
