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!

Very nice and convenient hotel on Restaurant Row, walkable every where.
Be aware on the first floor , there is a kind of lounge/ restaurant below, music noise quite late until 2 am…
Otherwise, clean, good breakfast, variety of restaurants around.

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.

Look no further! This hotel is the best!
Hotel Scherman was perfect for our family’s first trip to NY. The room was spacious and comfortable. Having a small fridge and microwave was a huge help for our family member with food allergies, the breakfast was lovely, and the roof top deck was beautiful! What a view! All of the staff was very friendly and welcoming and helpful, They graciously held our bags for us when we arrived early and they were waiting for us in the room when we got back from exploring. The location is so convenient and we enjoyed walking to everything. We could not have picked a more perfect hotel and we will be back!

It's worth giving a chance
When we arrived to the hotel, we were doubtful while seeing the weird entrance. But once in the room, we were very happy and comfortable. People at the reception and breakfast were very nice. Room was beautiful and silent...in spite of facing the street. I would happily return.

Spoiled!
WOW! I cannot say enough about my stay at this incredible hotel. I booked this for an overnight with my sisters and we had the two bedroom suite which included a beautiful balcony. Check in was so easy and Jerry was very helpful. I walked into the suite and just kept saying Wow! So very spacious for NYC. We had two separate rooms each with their own bathroom and a lovely sitting room. Breakfast included was very nice. Such a nice quiet space so near all the action but tucked away on such a lovely street.
