although in the center of manhattan, the rooms are very antiquated, and the TV might be considered obsolete by now, and it did not work, I got charged $25 for a movie I never saw. The first junior suite I was given was so dismal I had to change, and even then the improvement was inconsequential. More

Stayed here during April 2011 for five nights. The location is perfect, walking distance to all major attractions. Hotel is clean, staff are friendly and you will struggle to find a hotel that is better value for money. Recommend highly and would stay again with no hesitation. More

Stayed at the Wolcott from 29th Dec 2011 to 2nd Jan 2012. Spacious, clean and friendly front desk staff. (Who needs a concierge anyway.) Perfect location just around the corner from the Empire State Building and ten minute walk to Time Square. Considering we were there for New Year's Eve it was a very quiet room. Very reasonably priced and... More

The Wolcott Hotel is dated and bit rough around the edges, but for the price it is hard to beat. We checked in with no trouble and the room was spacious. The location is right near Madison Square Garden and the Murray Hill area which makes it great. The price is why you stay here. Always a good price for... More

Stayed at the Wolcott a couple of times because it suited our budget and we wouldn’t have gone back if it wasn't clean and in a great location just off 5th Ave. The two lifts are very slow and it appears that once you're room is on a floor above the 6ht floor you have problem with your shower's temperature...

We stayed 12-16 Jan 2012 and we were impressed by hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly when we arrived we were booked into a twin room so called reception and they changed straight away. Had couple of problems with safe in room and again sorted within minutes. Ideal location just round corner from Empire State and the tube station.... More

Pleasant staff, nice clean hotel and comfortable. The location for the hotel is excellent. About 2blocks from Empire state and close to the subway. This hotel is quite old but is comfortable and clean. We had no issues with noise etc. Overall I would recommend if you are looking for a nice, clean hotel that is really accessible. More

This is an ideal spot for tourists on a budget. Conveniently located near some tourists attractions (Empire State Building), shops and a subway about a block or 2 away. Don't expect it to be the most luxurious stay you'll ever have - but it's more than enough for those who will be sightseeing all day in any case, and only... More

We arrived at the wolcott around midnight (we should have been there around 13.30) but due to very high winds flights were delayed and so on and so on, but the staff at the Wolcott were very sympathetic and soon had us in our room. Sad to say with no luggage as our airline lost it but the following day... More
