On the plane to New York I was surprised for my birthday with a stay at the Casablanca hotel, got to say I was very happy as the Edison hotel, which I thought we'd booked, did not sound good at all. From the outside you don't know what to expect but when we walked in we were VERY impressed, the... more

Stayed here June 14 and 15th.The Casablanca was a great little hotel in the middle of times square.The staff was great and answered all questions.Ricks cafe was a great place to unwind or start your day.The only drawback for us was we had a room at the front of the hotel and the street noise kept us up both nights... more

Exellent central location - right near times square! Walking distance to 5th Avenue - and Subway to downtown.... Chaps at the front desk couldn't be more helpful - and Ricks cafe includes breakfast and drinks and nibbles is just a brilliant place to hang outside of your room.....free internet also in Ricks cafe. more

We booked the Casablanca based on the reviews on here and the fact that it's in a central location for sight-seeing. I have to say that we had a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend it to first timers in NYC. It's literally a couple of steps away from the centre of Times Square - an unbelievable location in... more

Stayed here for 3 nights end of May and couldn't have made a better choice. Lovely well kept rooms,reception staff excellent when helping you ie subways, diections etc.Great breakfasts, 24 hour refreshments and the complimentary wine 5 - 8 pm is a winner. When we return to NY we'll stay here. more

After reviewing many hotels in NYC for a recent "girlfriends vacation" without the hubbies, we settled upon the Casablanca mostly due to the reviews on this web site. We were torn between this property and the Holiday Inn Express in Midtown Manhattan. The deal breaker was the afternoon 5-8 p.m. wine & cheese reception each day. I can tell you... more

The Casablanca Hotel is indeed a gem near Times Square - well-trained, courteous staff met us at our cab, checked us in early, and saw us to one of the small doubles (with an entry hall, bedroom and bath, all well-equipped). We paid $269 and this included a good continental breakfast (cereals, pastries, fresh fruit, juice), an excellent coffee machine... more

We stayed here for 6 nights and thought it the perfect base for exploring New York. Located right next to Times Square it is well placed for the point at which many subway lines intersect, and several other sights are within walking distance (e.g. Rockefeller Centre, Empire State Building, Trump Tower, departure pier for Circle Line cruises). The CitySights and... more

an excellent hotel although our bedroom was a bit on the small side but the bed was very comfortable. It would have been even better if there was a bar there, although the cheese and wine each evening helped to make up for that disappointment - it made for a very relaxing start to each evening. All of the staff... more
