Wolcott Hotel

enjoyed our stay,hotel very clean,comfortable,staff very helpful,hotel very quiet which is grand if that's what your looking for. no bar or restaurant but complimentary tea coffee and muffins

we have stayed at this hotel 2-3 times per year over last 12 years. could not imagine a better location or value for money. Staff very helpful and knowledgible. Also coffee and muffins in morning to set you off before lunch!

The hotel is as advertised, a 3 star hotel. The staff was very nice. No hotel bar or restuarant but very close to both. Great location as it was easy to get around the city. Good value for the money.

The location, its grand lobby, and helpful staff are the best parts about the Wolcott. I think it had good enough value, but I doubt I'll stay there again. The problem was the room: the radiators, while charming, clanked; the shower had scalding water I couldn't control, so I resorted to taking a bath; and the TV was not HD. I know this last part sounds stupid, but I the blurry images were a drag.

I will stay there again. I would like a room a bit larger, but it was adequate. The staff helpful. The room and bath clean . I was there during the blizzard but able to catch cabs as needed. I would have liked a small coffee shop in the Hotel. The coffee and cupcakes on Sat. AM was very nice. I don't know if that is served everyday.

Spent 4 days in the city...great midtown location for exploring the whole city. Beautiful building with great lobby area. My room was at the back of the hotel so poor view from window. Bed was reasonably comfortable...only negative would be noisy central heating & shower was poor. For a short trip though I couldn't recommend this highly enough. Staff were friendly & helpful.

The location and room are really all you want but the breakfast is a little on the lousy side. I love american breakfast but only coffee and muffin is not what I would expect.

very close to everything. could not be in better location..From JFK airtrain and subway to hotel 1hour45mns price $7.50 Great value..Bus back $30..Great time and staff very good........

Clean comfy hotel in great location. Staff very helpful. Older hotel was downside but charm of building and staff made up for it.

I think anybody who would voice criticism about this hotel would be sadly lacking. If you want five star standard, then be prepared to pay five star rates. The hotel claims to be a 2 to 3 star and that is the standard it has set. In fact, in my opinion it is a 4 star standard. The foyer is impressive with old fashioned carpet complimenting the magnificent ceiling. The bedroom is small, but adequate. The bathroom is small, but again adequate. The bath is for bathing, not luxuriating in, in other words it is too small to lie within. The room is not sparkling clean, but is certainly acceptably clean. Travelling on my own, I felt safe in the hotel and the surrounding area. In fact I walked from Grand Central to the hotel at 11pm. on a Friday night. The two lifts are located directly beside reception, which gave me the feeling that nobody would have access to the lifts without being noticed. This helped me to feel secure. There are muffins and coffee/tea served in the foyer in the morning, for which there is no charge, so I certainly hope that nobody would have the nerve to be critical about any aspect of this service. There are two lifts, both are small, there is no dining room, the bedroom and bathroom are not big, but if you choose to stay in an inexpensive hotel, then you get inexpensive standards. I have stayed in other hotels in New York, one being THE LONDON HOTEL. Superb hotel with superbly high rates. You get what you pay for, please remember that. All in all, the Wolcott was superb value for New York and I most definitely would recommend it to anybody that isn't picky and silly about where they stay..
