Wolcott Hotel New York New York NY. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Date of Stay: May, 2009

Location great for all the sights. Hotel poor, rooms small and not too clean. Bedding smelt of moth balls and the room was dark and most unwelcoming. For most of my stay I did not feel personally clean even though clean towels were left each morning. Lacked shelving and cupboard space in both bathroom and room itself. T/v stations poor No tea or coffee making facilities in room but cakes and coffee served each morning! A drink is required after a hard days sight seeing as well as first thing in the morning! For Internet access you had to PAY!!! Air conditioning was noisy and I would hate to be in the room during the hottest months of the year, it would be unbearable. The whole hotel is in urgent need of refurbishment and a general clean. Lift areas were bright and cheerful, unlike the dull and dingy rooms. Staff very helpful and friendly - best thing about hotel really. If we had known what the hotel was like we definitely would not have booked. Different conflicting reports made our decision final, they all appeared good. Where they had been staying we do not know. Sorry Wolcott but you are going to have to brighten the place up quite a bit. It is not a really cheap hotel, and with the comings and goings it would be the person or company who owns it wants to make facilities and decor bottom of their priority list, money making seems to be the thing.

The location is convenient, rooms were clean - bathroom spotless - pleasantly surprised actually, because the cost was reasonable.

staff was very friendly and helpful and it supplied muffins Coffee and Tea every morning for Breakfast. The location was very good because it was in walking distance from the pen station, and central to downtown.

Before staying at the Wolcott, I read a very mixed bag of reviews, some mentioning bed bugs and broken showers. Our stay was uneventful. The air conditioning worked fine, the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a little small, but nothing we couldn't handle. The elevator was super slow, but that didn't particularly faze me. Great location, though, you can see the Empire State Building right in front of the front door of the hotel. There was a lot nearby, including Penn Station and Macy's. It's a great central location. I think that this hotel is written off a lot, and most of the people staying there are European, obviously they know where it's at. I would definitely stay here again.

Great rooms. Locations next to perfect. Loved the coffee and muffins. Would definitely book the Wolcott again.

Lovely OLD hotel with beautiful entrance foyer, Small room even though it was a junior suite with 2 rooms. Not really suitable for 3 people but did the job. Concierge needed some lessons in English and a lot more local knowledge, couldn't get show tickets which we were able to get for ourselves easilly. Dedn't know where to findcertain resteraunts even though a couple were in the same block or within a couple of blocks. Rooms were terribly hot even when it was freezing outside we had to have windows open wide. Water disappeared from the taps when showering for minutes at a time. No facilities for tea or coffee making in the hotel although they did have complimentary tea, coffee, muffins, in the foyer each morning. Way overpriced for what it was but the location wasn't too bad.

The hotel is in an excellant location. The value is very good and the you can request the one of rooms that is of great value. There are only 4 or 5 of these value rooms in the entire hotel so you must contact the hotel directly for them to check availablity. The only draw back is that you have to share a bathroom with one other guest, however you do have a sink in your room. Very good location and the service. The hotel has a lot of history and exceptional decor. Be sure to vist Ayza the Cafe'/Wine bar across the street. Food and service is GREAT! Tell the owner that Jason from Michigan sent you. Make sure to walk outside at night and look directly up at the Empire State Building. Great photo shots at night and day! Enjoy New York City!

as a weekend hotel this is good for the price. No luxury but what you need for a weekend hotel. We had room in to the backyard which was quiet. Empire state is just around the corner and the Time Square is only 15-20 minutes walk so it is very central. We actually walked to the 5th avenue to central park in about 30 minutes. The fitness room is not big but there is some basic equiement available.

Perfectly positioned hotel for the tourist. Old hotel with a modern feel, and well maintained. Highly recommended for the price paid. Staff faultless. This will be our first choice when revisiting New York.

A century old lobby that conveys the feeling of old New York....and its near almost everything. Low rates, nice staff.

The room facing the backstreet is much quiet than the room facing 31st street. Ask the front dest give you the room in back. The free breakfast was great. The rooms are not sound insulation.

An older hotel but great location. Don't expect luxury, but surpassed many tourist hotels in other countries, and the staff were courteous - a seeming rarity. Coffee and muffins in the foyer for breakfast may not suit those who like a full breakfast, but was great. Had a lower level room looking out to the well, so little light, but hey, not in Manhattento sit in a hotel room. Would recommend.

We couldn't believe how much we paid for the worst room in the city! It was so small we couldn't leave any of our luggage open at all. We had enough room to walk around the bed and that was all! We could change channels on the TV without a remote! It was unbelievable! We had to cross a stairwell to get to our room and the smells were awful. The staff was horrible too. They weren't friendly at all!

Hotel and location great for us. We had a girl friends get-a-way - there to tour and tried to get in to see "The view" and also had an audition at ABC studio for "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". For New York City - the price wasn't bad and the location of our Hotel worked out great for us.

We chose this hotel based on location, price, and space. We had a Junior Suite with two seperate rooms plus bath that provided ample room for three, including a queen and a day bed with trundle that could have easily slept four. And the price was less than anywhere else for two fulls. Every one of the staff spoke good english and all provided excellent service. Transportation is plentiful with bus service on 5th Ave and Broadway both going South, and 6th Ave going North. The water pressure was also very good. There is an in-room safe available at no cost as well as baggage lockers in the lobby for $1.00. A very comfortable stay and the best value I was able to find in Manhattan.

This hotel is awesome! Old world charm and quaint rooms, this place is somewhere you want to return to over and over. The Wolcott is clean and very nice. Centrally located and close to everything. The staff was awesome. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I even left a brand new digital camera in my room and did not realize til I got home. I called the hotel and the housekeeper found it and turned it in. They FedEx'd it to me no problem. Such honesty was refreshing. The continental breakfast in the morning was a very nice extra. I can't believe how reasonable the price was to stay here. I will definitely stay here every time I go to New York City in the future and will recommend them to everyone I know!!! A+++

Our days were spent sightseeing and touring. The hotel room was perfect for a nice shower and a quiet restful sleep and fresh coffee and muffins in the morning. Good value for the price and a very convenient location for walking to and from the many "got to see N.Y sights" and famous shops.

This hotel served our purpose - very close to Broadway and other downtown areas accessible. The room was for 3 individuals, so 3 single beds. One area with one bed allowed a little extra privacy. The bathroom was tiny with a minute hand basin. Do not stay here if you want luxury, but for proximity and reasonable cost, very good.

I would have recommended this hotel until the last day of our stay when we awoke to plumming problems (the cold tap produced hot water making a shower impossible due to the scalding hot water). We were left with no option but to check out in the humid NY Indian summer unbathed. When we mentioned it at the front desk they gave us the run around. Then this creep who claimed to be the owner of the building came up from behind us and tried to intimidate us to no avail. He said WE should have asked for another room. The rest of the staff was very accomodating but don't make waves lest you encounter this jerk.

Great european style hotel in perfect midtown location. We had the mini suite with trundle day/twin beds so my kids did not have to share and a nice queen for my husband and I. Bathroom was decent sized and water pressure was very good. Morning muffins and coffee got our days off to a great start. Would definitely stay there again!
