Uptown Hotel Reviews

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 :)

I stayed 4 nights at days Hotel. The room i was giving I thought was fine it was a huge double room with my own bathroom. The door was one of my worries as it didn't really look like it was very secure even though it had like two locks. As each time someone left it went in & out. Then some of the other doors had really bad creaks. Then the aircon was super loud and smelt funny so I tried not too turn it on much! Then what really bugged me was the heat coming on it was way too hot and i wasn't able to turn it off. The room was clean the bed was comfy. It got cleaned everyday and topped up with more of everything. The WORST part was being at the very back of the hotel and WIFI wouldn't work so for that reason I wouldn't stay there again as I use my laptop alot. Then you had people out on the hall sitting on chairs trying to get signal so it seems like thats a major problem. Location was perfect if you like to walk or take the subway across the street. Also they never vacumed once while i was there the halls were very dirty and visable to the eye.

Stayed in this hotel for four nights last week - the hotel is situated in a quiet street off Broadway on 94th Street - the building is old therefore the hotel is not very modern however what it lacks in that area it makes up for in quiet, clean, reasonable, safe and excellent helpful staff. We found also that every day the staff cleaned the room and the corridors from top to bottom - every time we came back to the hotel if they were not cleaning the doors they were vacumming the lobby. Whilst there are no facilities for bar, or eating, it really is not necessary as right next door there is a deli which you can get drinks, and 2 excellent diners within walking distance and we also had dinner in Carmines on 90th street one night after extensive shopping !!! The hotel also has internet access, and a gym if you are so inclined - I would highly recommend this hotel for the convenience of Uptown close to Central Park West and a short cab ride to 5th Avenue and other areas.

Just back from a short stay at the Wolcott Hotel.Excellent value. The hotel was spotless,good sized bedroom and bathroom. Our room was at the back of the Hotel, no noise whatsoever. There were no delays or queues when checking in or out. There was a transportation desk with a receptionist present to organise airport transport. We used the service booked in advance, round trip 42dollars,excellent service also. The hotel was very convenient for Herald Square (macys) Broadway, and Port Authority. Staff were helpful when approached,and there was an excellent storage area, with good sized lockers for luggage once you checked out, this cost less than a dollar. Would highly recommend this Hotel for a short shopping trip. There was no bar or restaurant in the Hotel which did not matter to us.There were excellent restaurants and bars adjacent.

Despite certain doubts that I might have had regarding this hotel from comments on other web sites I can only report favourably. We were originally given a twin bedded small rooom having requested a double and within 10 minutes were upgraded to a much superior larger room. Position is excellent as very near 2 subway statiosn and with subway pass $25 for whole week an absolute steal!. Away from the hustle and bustle of hotels Downtown and a lot quieter. Breakfast is served in he library and continental $16.50 full American $ 19.00 (a no brainer which one to take?) and very nicely presented. However, with so many diners literally 1/2 blocks away in either Amsterdam or Columbus you cna easily eat for $ 10 per head. With the exception of the front reception staff who were a bit surly every one else was very pleasant and I would heartily ecommend this hotel- only 1 caveat - air conditioning system in romm is rather antiquated and very noisy. Hotel is showing its age and could do with a good lick of paint but beds very comfortable and with quite location and position a very good value for money property.
