Good hotel in a great location
Good hotel, great central location for midtown sights (Empire State Building, Rockefellar, Times Square), shopping on 5th Avenue and surrounding areas and entertainment (near Broadway), but not ideal if you would like to be near bars or restaurants that real New Yorkers go to (ie East Village/ Lower East side). However, if you are happy to take a taxi downtown to these places, then the Hotel Wolcott is a good choice. The rooms could do with some updating/modernising, but overall they were clean and comfortable. The free coffee and muffins at breakfast is a real bonus!

My daughter Paige's 21st birthday treat
We arrived at the hotel and staff was very polite and welcoming, upgraded me and my daughter for free as she was 21 with a view of the Empire State from our room... Room was very clean with all that we needed.. Hotel lobby was amazing and we loved the stairs.. I have been to New York twice before and this was the best hotel I've stayed in... And will definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family... Amazing stay and an amazing time as was close to all attractions.. Loved it....

Good buy in good location
The Wolcott is an old hotel but it is well maintained, with bright attractive halls and rooms. Mostly just the basics for amenities but more than adequate for my needs. Unfortunately there are no coffee makers in the rooms but complimentary coffee and muffins are provided in the lobby from 6:30AM-10:30AM daily and there are fast food outlets just steps away. From the many languages heard in passing the Wolcott seems to be popular with international tourists. Though not luxurious it is comfortable and gives excellent value for a midtown Manhattan property. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

Just around the corner from Manhattan's Korea Town (32nd St.) with its numerous Korean restaurants. Many fast food chains are nearby on 5th and there are other dining options availabe in the Flatiron District.

Having visited NY many many times, I decided to try a different hotel this time. The Wolcott both met and exceeded my expectations, with the friendly staff, free morning refreshment in lobby, a clean comfortable room (although this was a bit too hot for comfort). Woulddefinitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.

Short drive from hotel
Use Taxis instead of subway, you get there quicker, see NY and is much more comfortable way to travel

winter weekend
Room was much smaller than expected, listed as a suite with sofa bed- that turned out to be a trundle. Bathroom old and shower didn't work well - no cold water from shower head and tub drained very slowly. TV's old with poor reception. Very high price for WIFI use

Budget-friendly but missing key perks
Staff were nice and liked they offer coffee and muffins each morning. You cannot beat this location - it is perfect and allows you to walk everywhere. My disappointments were that the room was out of date and felt musty and old, there were crumbs in one corner of the room. Also didn't like that wifi is an extra charge when so many hotels in the same neighborhood offer for free. Surprised that upon checkout they don't keep your bags free of charge but instead you have to pay for a locker - first time I've ever seen this in any hotel. My room also faced inside so no nice view or natural light. Won't go back because I like my perks and for the same price I can get a much cleaner room with a nice city view.
