Astor On The Park Hotel New York Reviews

4 out of 5

We (2 adults + 1 teenager) stayed at the Astor on the Park for 6 nights. Good location (corner 106th street) just across the road from Centralpark. Delis, Supermarket, Subway and Bus station in walking distance. We've got a quiet and sunny room (501) on the 5th floor towards the back of the building with view on the backyard. Make sure you don't get one of the rooms in the centre of the building. They are very dark due to the windows onto the air shaft !! The size of our room was ok for the three of us and both bathroom and room were clean ! Although a woodfloor would be more hygienic than the fitted carpet. The staff was polite and helpful.

I stayed on the 7th floor for 5 nights in January with my boyfriend. The room was small but that was to be expected as I've previously stayed in New York before in a hotel of a similar standard. The bed was quite small for a double but comfortable enough. There was a tv with decent channels and good storage space. The bathroom was a good size with an impressive shower but we did initially have difficulty in trying to work out how to turn it on - reception sent someone up to show us within 5 minutes though. Location wise, the hotel is at the top end of Central Park and a few mins from the nearest subway where you can get to 5th Avenue / Times Square pretty quickly. Overall, a pleasant, no frills stay but the negative points would be (although no big deal)- there was limited natural light coming into the room, the fan in the bathroom was a little bit too noisy and there was only one lift in the hotel which was extremely slow so have a little patience during busy times! If you are looking for a clean, basic hotel at a very cheap price then this is the place to be :)
