The hotel was excellent. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. The front desk was very helpful in anything we needed or wanted. Loved the stay. Would stay here again and again!
This was the best hotel experience I’ve had in New York in a long time. Perfectly located, great vibe. Rooms were very comfortable and the staff was very helpful. Highly recommend this hotel. Ian Schrager knows what he’s doing.
Great stay in a fantastic location! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We really enjoyed our three-night stay at PUBLIC. The hotel has a great atmosphere, with stylish interiors, a lively feel and a fantastic location for exploring New York.
We booked a double room with twin beds, which worked really well for two people travelling together. The room was modern, cleverly designed and made excellent use of the space.
The location is a huge plus, with plenty of restaurants, cafés and shops within walking distance, and easy access to the subway.
Overall, a really enjoyable stay and a great base for a few days in NYC. Would happily stay again!
Great location and great hotel to stay when you want to visit NY and be in the area

Great location - hotel felt run down and trying too hard to be trendy.
Restaurant is closed for the next 2 months, front desk felt like assembly line. No lotion, no water in rooms
Overall very underwhelmed, certainly better value at other hotels
