Wolcott Hotel

The staff was very friendly and professional, room very spacious for New York!!! We will definately stay there again, especially with FREE coffee & muffins

The hotel is in a great location. It's only 4 blocks away from the 4,5,6 Subway. And just 2 or 3 away from the Empire State Building. It was a good base ground for doing all those tourist things in New York, becasue it was right in the middle of it all. But the area was never loud. It was very clean, great maid service, and much bigger than I expected it to be. I stayed with two of my friends in a Junior suite (one queen bed and one single bed) and we were very comfortable. Also, the hotel is old and the lobby is beautiful. It's charming. My only complaint is that some of the staff members were a bit rude to us, but it seems like that's New York for you.

Walking into the 1907 Rococo style lobby is an enchanting trip back in time! The host was gracious and informative. We had a junior suite, which served our needs well. It allowed one of us to nap in the bedroom while the other read or watched TV on the sofa bed in the small annex. The bedroom was spacious; the bathroom was compact! In fact, anyone severly overweight would not be able to fit between the sink and the wall to face the mirror over the sink. However, that being said, the modern shower was superb! The hot water came on immediately (we were on the 3rd floor) and the water pressure was strong and steady. The morning coffee and generous and tasty rolls were a nice way to start the day, along with complimentary New York Times to read in the lobby. Since we were close to major Avenues, it was relatively easy to hail a taxi.

Room and facilty were certainly nice enough. We would go back. We did not hang out in our room. So asthetically and functionally the room met our needs. Of course having a refrig in the room could have helped out with keeping food left overs-- but it's absence was not a deal breaker!

The hotel was within 3 blocks of the Empire State building and 4 longer blocks to Penn Station. They have lockers to store your items in prior to and after checking out. This makes for light travel around the city. Clean rooms.

Staff were not really very welcoming or helpful. A smile costs nothing after all. The reception area is beautiful and worth popping in just for a look. We had a junior suite which was ideal for the three of us.The cleaning staff were very friendly and kept the room very tidy and clean, top marks to them. Some nice bars close by.Bit of a,walk to Times Square, so wear low heals. Penn station is only a short distance from the hotel so you can get the train any where and its very cheap. Overall I would stay there again, but please some one get the staff to smile and be more helpful.

This hotel was a bit above average, if a little pricey. Room was small. Enjoyed coffee and muffins in the morning. Concierge very helpful.

The room and hotel were fine. The hotel is quite old and this is reflected in the room, but it was fine and clean.

We always stay in this hotel, although a budget hotel it still provides a great place to stay and looks fabulous you should see the reception area it is beautiful. We find the hotel perfectly situated. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms clean, some of the rooms are a little small.

The hotel was an okay standard, perhaps a little bit tired. It was really clean and tidy and the staff were great. There is free coffee and muffins for breakfast which was a nice touch and unexpected. In terms of location it was great for a first trip- close to all of the sights - empire state building, times square & walk able distance to central park, however not great if you want to find somewhere good to go for a drink in the evening, we usually had to get a cab or the subway over to Greenwich. Overal though a really good value for money.
