Hotel Wolcott - New York

Great location and big rooms, would stay there again.

Bedrooms old fashion air conditionned very noisy breakfast in a hall !!!!

It's an excellent deal in NY City, close to Empire State Building. For 3, a couple and a teenager, it was perfect.

New York city 'blew us away'. Hotel in ideal location - easy access to everything, either on foot or by subway - which we used extensively. Reception staff, while polite and efficient, could smile a little more - like those that attended to our room. Room clean and comfortable but small - not for the claustrophobic. Ask for a no-smoking room - I believe they're bigger. Old and jaded in appearance though it is, we felt it provided adequate comfort for our stay and, given its location, was good value for money.

Great deal. Excellent location. The room was just what we needed for the weekend. I totally recommend this hotel if you're looking for a place to sleep after a day of sight seeing. No unnecessary stuff, clean and a little coffee/tea and muffin for breakfast. It's perfect if you're more interested in the city than in the hotel.

Great deal.Great !!!!

At our arrival, the room was not clean. We had to show to the recepcionist the problems (in the bathroom). We moved to another room. Anyway the cleanlyness was not as expected in this rated Hotel.

Since the hotel was built in 1904, it was a bit creaky and sometimes the hot water wasn't so hot but overall our stay was great. Rooms were larger than usual and clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Location was wonderful. For the price, it couldn't have been better. We would definitely recommend to others and would stay there again.

We had another couple with us. Their room was quite spacious on the 11th floor street side. Ours was quite small on the 2nd floor. I would not stay in that size of room again but the rooms on the front were very nice. Stay again...yes...

Would definitely return to Wolcott. Incomparably good for those traveling on a budget. Handy location (and quiet considering its central location), spotless rooms, comfy bed.

Hotel room was quite large by typical NYC standards and was serviceable, though pretty rough around the edges. No feeling of being a valued customer, though I also wasn't in any way poorly treated. I would stay here again only if absolutely necessary.

We had a really pleasant stay at the Wolcott hotel. Location is great, very close to Empire state buillding, times square and 5th avenue. I would most definetly stay there again when i visit NY.

It was an excellent buy since it was an introductory rate for the initial opening. The only complaint is the water pressure was weak in the shower.

The room was pretty much thought it would be. Nothing spectacular, but you get what you pay for. However, the staff and check-in were really nice. The desk guy gave us his personal umbrella when it was raining. That was really beyond what he could have done.

People off desk is unfriendly, the room very nice. And the position is perfect.

Good Location but bad breakfest.

Spacious rooms, convenient location to travel within Manhattan, subway 1-2 blocks away.

Hôtel très bien placé entre Broadway Ave et la 5ème AVe, mais vieillot et bruyant. Les chambres sont spacieuses, mais auraient besoin d'être rénovées ainsi que la salle de bain. Le petit déjeuner n'est composé que de muffins, dans un coin du hall et manque de variété.

They never clear the bathroom the air conditioner is very loudly

The hall is lovely and old style, but not suitable at all for breakfast. A few seats and no place for dishes and glasses while having breakfast. Air conditioning too noisy.

Unica nota eccellente dell'hotel è la sua ubicazione centralissima. Del resto, (a parte la modesta colazione inclusa, cosa che in quasi tutti gli hotel di new york e esclusa dal prezzo) è tutto mediocre: accoglienza quasi inesistente, stanze piccole,maleodoranti e rumorose (causa condizionatori mal funzionanti). Anche il prezzo è modesto ma la prossima volta che tornerò a NY cercherò di meglio. Qualche dollaro in più vale la pena spenderlo.

The room was very big and the bed was good, but there was always bad smell in the air inside the room. the breakfast was poor (only not very good muffins, coffee and tea) and we had it in the reception. the first day I found hair in the bath tube... too expensive maybe but the location was great, we could see empire state building from the window. gentle staff in the reception

One of the best bargains in NY city and ideal if you do not expect too much. Interesting location just 2 blocks from Empire State Building, close to Herald Sq subways. Neigbourhood is garment district rather lowdown but in 10 min walk you are in Madison sq. Eccellente rapporto qual prezzo ma non aspettarsi troppo. Buona location neppure troppo turistica.

4 days in NYC, this hotel has a great location, two block from Penn Station, 5th Avenue just around corner, and Macy's Store two block north (my sister really likes it). Breakfast area is very small -just several sitting on sides of hall , breakfast is simple but tasty -muffins with coffee or tea. Room was realatively small but nice.

Location is perfect. The rooms were clean enough, a very large room but a little bathroom but the whole hotel needs renovation. It is really old, carpets smell. The staff in the reception was not very welcoming. The breakfast was very poor especially if you don't like muffins.

Hotel staff are not very friendly or may be all New Yorkers are the same? Location of hotel is convenient though about 5 minutes walk to nearest subway and Empire State Building.

The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the Empire State building and 15 minutes from Time Square. A+ for cleanliness and location! Your best choice for the price!

O'Reilly's Pub is a friendly no frills Irish pub just one block west on 31st. There is real good price to quality sushi and seafood buffet on 32nd between 5th Ave and Madison. And maybe the best selling point for the Wolcott: located right between de subway crossing at Herald Sq and the 33rd station of the 6 NYC is as nearby as can be!

L'albergo ha soddisfatto in pieno le nostre aspettative: camera a tre letti pulita, spaziosa, silenziosa; personale discreto; ottima posizione, ottimo rapporto qualità'/prezzo. Un po' spartana la prima colazione e la struttura è un po' datata (moquette da "rinfrescare" e impianti dell'aria condizionata rumorosi). Nel complesso comunque da consigliare a chi privilegia pulizia e posizione centrale.

À savoir : les chambres donnant sur la petite cour intérieure sont peu lumineuses mais très calmes, ce qui est un luxe vu l'emplacement de l'hôtel (entre Broadway et la 5ème, à 2 rues de l'Empire State Building). Petit commerce en bas de l'hôtel très pratique pour acheter de l'eau (eau très mauvaise au robinet...), des timbres et diverses petites choses. Petit déjeuner offert (rare dans les hotels de NYC) : café, thé, lait et muffins. Répétitif mais très appréciable ! Il faut juste trouver une petite place le matin pour s'installer car tout cela est servi dans le hall (pas de salle spéciale petit déj). Enfin, à l'entrée, une personne en permanence pour renseigner sur les musées, les attractions et toutes sortes de services... Une bonne adresse... mais environ 200 euros la nuit... en 10 mn à pieds, nous sommes à Times Square, en 3 mn à l'empire state... Le métro est tout près également...

THe Wolcott is my favourite hotel in NYC. Location is perfect, rooms are large and quiet. Rates are very cheap in spite of all other hotels in the area. I'll be back there again.

J'ai occupé une chambre pour trois personnes du 6 au 11 avril 2009.Pour une première visite à New York je trouve que cet hôtel offre beaucoup d'avantages:l'emplacement, le rapport prix prestations proposées.A noter la prestation petit déjeuner (café, thé, muffins) comprise dans le prix,dans le hall d'accueil d'un charme désuet qui fait oublier le manque de places assises au moment le plus fréquenté.

GREAT LOCATION!!! We were two people and we got a very big room with twin beds. Beds were a little small. Quiet clean. Nice breakfast (tea, coffee and muffins) in the lobby. Some employees speak fluent Spanish. Fifht Av., Times Square, 42th. St., Flatiron District by foot. Hotel needs deep reform, but good quality according to prices. WOULD RETURN

I don't like thie area and the room is too old.

A mostly friendly, extremely well situated hotel. Rooms are spacious, though bathroom was small and the shower-flow somewhat variable. Would recommend as a good place to stay in NYC

Bathroom very small, no tablet to place comb, razor, etc.

This was my third stay at this hotel.Location is perfect. Rooms ample amd warm. Noisy central heating did disturb our sleep though.

Although this hotel was ideally sited for our visit to New York,being close to all the sights and shops it did not represent value for money.Our bedroom was extremely cold with draughts blowing in through poorly fitted or insulated windows.We were finally moved to a warmer room after the secod evening when the hotels boiler man had a word with management at 1.30am!The bathrooms were tiny,also chilly and had seen better days.I would not recommend this hotel and will not be staying there when I next visit New York.

Excellent location only 10 mins walk to Madison Square Gardens and Empire State Building,only downside was that our room was overlooking the main entrance and road and was very noisy.

Best qulity for the prize paid. We are a middle aged couple and we spend the days outside the hotel.

Good hotel, optimal position near underground station, poor breakfast, a very large room but a little bathroom

Poor breakfast and served in the hall, amazing location on 5th Ave., room was very clean, bathroom very small but normal in Manhattan, employees too cold but I'm italian, so I think is normal in Big Apple.

Close to Penn station (convenient for train takers like us!) and fairly easy access to lots of other parts of the city. Not super close to Times Square (approx. 35 mins walking, longer when the streets are very full) but quieter than that area which we appreciated. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go and only took one subway train (from the Statten Island Ferry Terminal). The hotel had a lovely lobby and the muffins for breakfast in the morning were good. The staff at the front desk did leave something to be desired, as none of them were friendly, nor did they smile at any point. The cleaning team were better. In general: nice hotel, good location, could have been a lower price but then it is NY!

Hotel with great problem of plumbing (hot water only at taps or shower unavailable or no water at all)

Safety: I miss anything about safety on your questionaire. We looked into a fireexit hallway and there were items stalled in that space. To our opinion this should never be used as a storage place. Very dangerous in case of an emergency.

Strong smell of cigarettes

Nous avons apprécié la situation centrale dans Manhattan, les chambres plus grandes que dans d'autres hôtels de même catégorie. Le + sympa les muffins café le matin en libre service et la consigne à bagages gratuite. Bon rapport qualité-prix.La chambre pour 3 était très grande (rare à NY!)

On top of the quoted price I was charged local tax state tax & vat. All together addition of 48$. Good location, suitable for accomodations only. It will be my second choice next time.

First time stay at the Wolcott--very good value, clean reasonably spacious room, helpful staff, hotel well-placed for sightseeing.

Relativ kleines, persönliches hotel. personal sehr hilfsbereit. lage super. sehr zufrieden mit dem relativ geräumigen 3-bettzimmer. werden sicher weiterempfehlen!

Hotel Wolcott is a good place to stay when on a budget. It was clean and the employees were very nice and polite. There are no frills! Small elevators and lobby very dated. Continental breakfast consited of muffins that tasted imitation and coffee no juice if you have children. Also the bathroom was so tiny it was unbelievable. Really your knees almost touch the door and the little sink look like something out of pre-school. But....who comes to New York to stay in the room....so overall it was a good place to lay your head. I would stay again.

Located close to 5th avenue and the empire state building, but few interesting restaurants nearby. OK for friends or couple, but I would not recommend it to families. The rooms were clean enough, but the whole hotel needs renovation. Coffee and muffins in the lobby does not serve as a proper breakfast, but this was indicated on the web. The staff in the reception was not very welcoming, but the hotel has a concierge to help with tourist information and all kinds of bookings. This gave the stay a better overall rating in our opinion.

New York is an extremely expensive city and the Wolcott was a welcome "budget" find. It is happily located in Midtown, three blocks from the Empire State Building, a 5 minute walk to Macy's and the closest subway stop is only a few blocks away. We were in a twin room, which was situated on a corner of the building. Our room was three times the size of our friends who were in a double room, which is why I rated the spaciousness as I did. Although the other rooms were small, they were clean, and really, did we go to New York to sit in our rooms?? NOT!! There are free coffee and muffins in the lobby each morning, and if you don't want that, Starbucks is only a couple of blocks away as are a couple of good delis for breakfast. If I am ever in NYC again, I will stay at the Wolcott -- it was perfect and certainly didn't break the bank.

Hotel was really central to everything; was older hotel but clean and comfortable; room was much larger than anticipated although bathroom was very small.

Very central & very good value for money, I liked the old fashioned style of the building and would be very happy to stay there again.

Entire property in need of a face lift. Location is prime. Great place to stay if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room or on the property.

The hall is stunning. Rooms are small, but the position is the best and the price is very ok for the area. The breakfast is not an actual one, though. They have many student groups, so in the morning the hall is a mess and you don't always reach you coffee. Overall however, I would recommend the place

This hotel is excellent for anyone travelling on a budget. Whilst it is a little old-fashioned, it's beautifully decorated, warm and welcoming without being stuffy, and serves much appreciated muffins and coffee/tea in the mornings! The staff are a little hit-and-miss; some know more (and speak more English) than others, but the location is great and you're unlikely to find more for your money elsewhere in Manhattan.

Wolcott is a hotel with an history, it is old in a romantic way and it has potentials to become great in the invairoments but right now it is quite rough. One of our rooms needed a plumber allmost every day. But the staff were helpful and kind, the location good as the price.

Location - one block from Empire State Cleaniless - spotless Temperature - Warm but can be adjusted Breakfast - Coffee, Tea and muffins Staff - Efficient Room - Very clean and comfortable, i asked for a quiet room and was allocated one at the back of the hotel. No view of course but perfect.

The lobby of the hotel is so beautiful. the atmosphare ist great!

In general it was a good stay at the hotel, sauf we were robbed at my dauhters room ( 1116. They were robbed in their room one laptop HP , a cell phone and one i-pod, while we were shopping. Hotel staff and the police were informed but no further action was taken, so we think they won't account for anything.

I was in NYC for vacation for a couple of days. Cold and unpleasant welcoming by the staff. Good location. Nice complementary breakfast

The bathroom was extremely small and we had problems with getting the right temperature in the shower. Because the bath/shower area was so small when you closed the shower curtain it stuck to you and you couldnt move. Other than that the hotel was nice and centrally located.Pity they dont have a restaurant or bar there.

The lobby at the Wolcott is stunning and the service was good. Rooms are rundown, but clean and serviceable. Would recommend this as an inexpensive and accessible hotel, but it is in need of updates. Morning breakfast was a plus. Yes, I have been to New York many, many times.

Great value for the location. Would appreciate additional lighting on 31st Street, but obviously that's not a hotel issue. Great area and extremely easy access to the subway. Staff was very accomodating to all requests. Room was larger than expected. Would recommend.
