It is so like a European hotel, and it has so many lovely things in its lobby. The price is good, and the hotel is central, and I was so pleased.

After arriving in New York we stayed in a wonderful hotel in Brooklyn, then cruised on the Queen Mary2. We were very dis-appointed with the hotel on the whole. The room was clean and ok if you are younger but not for us, the pictures on the web site are deceiving which was a pity so you get what you pay for.

This was not our first visit to NY, so we pretty much knew where to go. The Walcott was an excellent experience, and not because of it's low rate. The hotel was newly renovated. The front desk personnel were courteous and available. Our room was clean, and house keeping was excellent. There was also a free breakfast of muffins and coffee, unheard of in other hotels. The location was excellent, right on 5th avenue. Only about fifty yards to either side of the entrance were several Indian,Japanese, Pakistani restaurants with really delicious food at very cheap prices. All in all, I will definitely stay here again!

We just returned from our annual family pre-holiday trip to NYC. We make the trip from DC to see the beautifully dressed window on 5th Ave, skate in Central Park, take in a Broadway show and just enjoy the holiday sparkle of the Big Apple. We know that the city is both crowded and expensive, we really always expect both. However, what we didn't expect is that our hotel room would be so HOT in the middle of December that we would sleep all night with the windows open and the AC running. We mentioned the heat to the front desk and they sent up someone on three different occasions (they tried) only to make matters worst... because that is when the clanging started. Now the AC did drowned out some of the clanging on the second night, but needless to say, we spent two very uncomfortable nights in a very mediocre hotel. The lobby is pretty and the water pressure in the shower was good. But the staff wasn't very helpful or friendly. I had only read good reviews of this hotel, but was sadden by our experience. We will not go back!

We stayed in room 2211 at the Wolcott Hotel between 14 -21 Dec 2005. We arrived late at night and received a warm welcome from the receptionist who was very helpful in directing us to some fabulous local restaurants during our stay. The room was warm, well appointed and clean. We had a walk in style wardrobe with a safe, extra pillows, a large TV (not that you watch much TV in a fab city like NY) and the shower was powerful with loads of hot water which is exactly what you need when its -2 outside !!! Each day the bed linen was changed as were the bath towels.
The complementary breakfast in the lobby each morning from 06:30 was a real bonus; coming from the UK the time difference really throws you out, you end up waking up really early so it was lovely to have something available in the hotel at that time in the morning. They serve gorgeous fresh muffins (loads of different varieties) and good coffee my husband and I would take it in turns to run down stairs with the tray and take breakfast back to the room each morning.
The hotel is three minutes walk form the empire state building, right on 5th Ave and has lots of great restaurants, delis and bars near by.
The only down sides (if you really want to be picky) are that the lifts was very slow - but then you only use them a couple of times a day
the hand basin in the bathroom was hysterically small but then again what else do you do in a basin apart from clean your teeth ?? And the corridors are a little bare and dark but then you dont go to New York to study the hotel corridors?? Dont let these things put you off as all in all this is a great hotel in a great location for a reasonable price (which in NY is a real find).

This was our first trip to New York and we stayed for one week on the Wolcott Hotel. The staff were professional but not overly friendly. We were dissapointed with the room. Although not dirty, everything seemed old and worn, a big contrast to hotels we have stayed at in other countries (even cheap ones). The hotel is superbly situated, most major attractions are close by with good transport links to attractions further away. Altogether, the hotel was average for the price, no restaurant but plenty to eat everywere. A good place if you don't plan to stay there all the time.

Manhattan hotels are expensive, and for the price anywhere else, this would have been a rip-off, but the Hotel Walcott was all right, I suppose. It's obviously seen better days. The foyer was tres beaux arts with its gilded columns and plaster moulding, but the hotel room was poky and hadn't seen any decorating or renovation for some 20 years. The front staff were a bit surly as well. The best thing about the Wolcott was its location: in the shadow of the Empire State Building, a 15 minute walk from Penn Station, and another 20 minutes or so to Times Square.

People in the hotel were helpful. Room was clean with a walk in wardrobe. We did have to keep curtains closed as the view from window was of the other rooms thus it was dark in the room. Free coffee with muffins were offered every morning (very nice) Hotel close to ameneties. Only a block way from the empire state building. A hotel for people on a budget, I would go again.

The location of Hotel Wolcott is perfect for discovering the variety of things N.Y. has to offer the traveler. I stayed there twice and it provides good value in an expensive city. We were pleased with the standard of the rooms and the little tourist information in the lobby. As we are not accustomed to eating cake for breakfast it would be nice with some plane rolls or something to go with the coffee, but anyway - I recommend this hotel to everyone I know who is going to New York. I been there twice with teen years in between and I find the comfort of the hotel reliable and living up to my expectations. And that's good value when you invest quite a lot of money to go across the Atlantic on a dream trip. You want to know that the hotel is clean, comfortable and a nice base for your adventures. I'd love to go back to N.Y. and the hotel Wolcott!
