Perfecto

I was more than pleasantly surprised with our stay. We arrived early and needed to have our luggage held before check-in, which was not until 4:00 p.m. We were able to check-in when we arrived at 11:30 a.m. - this was a life saver for us as we all came from different areas. The staff was professional, jovial and courteous. There were muffins and coffee and tea available in the lobby in the mornings. The location is great - walking distance to many areas, near subway, and taxis easy to access. Room was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and just what we needed.

Take Ear Plugs!

The only complaint about this hotel is the noise at night. Lorries, cars, taxis, dust carts, and music until 3am from the bar down the street. Everything else about the hotel was absolutely fine - including the free hot drinks and muffins provided by the hotel each morning. My advice would be to take ear plugs, as the city that never sleeps, tries to make sure that you don't sleep either!

Nothing Extra

Location was great. Close to midtown locations. Bed was high in the middle and sounds from hall were very loud. Door in bedroom was next to the hall and people talking woke us up every morning. Tub surface was peeling. Room was clean, but no extra amenities. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

room was small, but it was new york city!!

it was fabulous, the shower was not so great, it was either freezing or boiling, no real happy medium, but location was fabulous, felt very safe out after dark. ten min walk to times square, for the price, the hotel was exceptionally clean, very nice, a great place to put our heads. would stay again,

Make sure you don't get the handicap accessible room

Without being told ahead of time I was given a room with a handicap accessible bathtub/shower. It was very annoying to have to hold the shower nozzle that sprayed water while I was showering.

From a Mother and daughter, Scotland

We cannot fault our 4 night stay at the Walcott. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was spotless and comfortable. The complementary breakfast was a great bonus as my Mum really benefits from a cup of tea or coffee first thing in the mornings, it was also a surprise as we were not aware before arriving. The hotel was recommended to me by a friend and I will certainly pass on recommendations to others.
