The air conditioners were filthy and rattled constantly-the bathroom floors were disgusting and had no fans available for air circulation. Cleaning staff were lovely ladies doing their... More

Had a triple room, the beds were comfy and the location of the hotel was perfect. The bathroom was small but had a nice shower. Breakfast was a nice touch with muffins and coffee. The hotel was a Ten minute walk to Maidson Square Garden, close to the Empire State Building and even closer to some nice restaurants.

The location was good. The coffee and muffins in the morning was just right. Relaxed atmosphere in the lobby. Good and quiet sleep. Free Internet for check-in to return flight. Subway station 34St-Herald Sq. very close.

Amazing hotel - very good location, nice and not too small room. Clean, friendly and helpful services! I would give 5, but the only thing I didn't like, it was noisy at night, in december 2010 it was much more quiet over there! The muffins for breakfast were very good and tasty!.

We had a junior suite at the Wolcott -- sitting room with separate bedroom. Room had been refurbished so it was pleasant and clean. Bathroom with tub was modern with black and white tile. And the room was very quiet. The location was excellent -- we walked to the hotel from Penn Station -- and explored Koreatown restaurants a block... More

My four sisters and I, accompanied by another lady, spent five days at the Wolcott during April 2012. We were extremely happy with the cleanliness of rooms as well as the friendliness of the staff. The price was very affordable for the wonderful location.

Hotels in New York are more pricey than in the UK so be prepared to pay more for less but unfortunately there are no ways around this. The Walcott is a basic hotel with slightly dated rooms but they are clean and well kept. The lobby area is simply stunning and this is where you get coffee and muffins every... More
