I've just returned from a 5 night stay at this hotel and after reading the reviews I was pleasantly surprised. First of all the location. Some might say that it's a bit out of the way as it's situated overlooking the top left hand corner of Central Park. However it's a 3 min walk to the subway and buses regularly... more

Why do people expect so much when they know they only paid peanuts! I travelled to New York with my son back in April , and like a lot of people I had a budget . Eventually I found the Astor. (readers remember its a budget hotel you get exactly what you pay for !) We arrived about 11.00am ,... more

This place is fine. Not really near any amenities but only 3 blks. from subway. Modern, functional and clean. Absolutely OK! more

A friend and I stayed at this hotel in mid-May. The room was small but functional. We got clean sheets & towels everyday. We did not have a view on the park but that was okey. Reading the reviews about the noise at night got me a bit worried but we did not have any problems. No noise whatsoever. Staff... more

The hotel is situated right opposite Central Park. For a fabulous introduction to NYC we walked the length of the park and into the city. If the hotel had been closer we'd have missed half the park, it's so big. Within a 3 minute walk you can jump on the Subway for a 10 minute ride to Times Square, or... more

Our room was small but functional: I’d say the size is on par with what you’d expect with a basic European pension. The room, the bedding, and the... more

I stayed at this hotel which at the time was listed as 3 star, I would say it is probably a 1 or 2 star. Although it was clean, that's pretty much all I could say for it. The noisy pipes kept me up ALL night, I seriously have not slept so badly in all my life and I live... more

Having booked the hotel on the spur of the moment I was a little concerned by some of the critical reviews that I read. I am pleased to say that my concern was unnecessary and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.Firstly the staff were very friendly,helpfuland professional even when faced with my dopey questions all of which were answered quickly. The... more

my husband booked this trip to new york as a surprise for me and i must admit after reading the reviews on the hotel i was not looking forward to it at all. However, on the day we arrived it was very hot, the arrogant taxi driver who had picked us up from the airport had dropped us two blocks... more
