Reviews

Residents are positive about the doormen, views and range of shared spaces. The sharper complaints concern elevator reliability, upkeep and clarity around broker fees, flex-bedroom listings and owner-specific lease terms.

What residents praise

Doormen and staff are a consistent strength

Residents repeatedly describe friendly, attentive staff who handle packages well and arrange repairs quickly.

High-floor views and shared spaces feel distinctive

The roof and sky lounges, tennis court, pool and neighboring fitness options give residents several places to exercise, work and relax.

In-unit conveniences add practical value

Many rental apartments include washer-dryers and dishwashers, with residents also praising sunlight and modern kitchen and bathroom finishes.

What residents complain about

Elevators and amenity upkeep can fall short

Residents report recurring elevator outages and shared spaces that show their age, including fitness and court equipment needing maintenance.

Listing descriptions need close reading

Some renters describe flex layouts marketed under a higher bedroom count and fees that were not clear until a showing, so verify the legal layout and full upfront cost.

Owner-specific leases create uneven experiences

As a condominium rental, repairs, renewals and move-out terms can depend on the apartment owner or broker rather than one central leasing standard.

Amenities

The Atelier is a Hell's Kitchen condo tower with 24-hour doorman and concierge, in-unit Bosch washer/dryers, dishwashers and central air. Residents get a no-fee second-floor gym, a 47th-floor terrace, a rooftop tennis and basketball court, a package room with cold storage, and paid valet garage and basement storage.
