Empire Hotel, New York

Hotel was nice and clean although the room with double queen beds was small and bathroom tiny.The hotel had a rooftop bar and sundeck however the unheated pool was more like a splash pool - not as appears on the hotel photo. Friendly staff.

We stayed at Empire Hotel for 2 nights and it was great. The hotel is conveniently located, short walk to Central Park. The pool was fantastic but unfortunately on day two it was closed for maintenance. The room was very clean, as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. The room was a little too dark and lacked natural sunlight. Overall, it was perfect for a couple staying a few nights but if you had a few bags it may be a little tight.

Good location hotel.. Recommend a room not facing the road as can be noisy from traffic if you don't like that sort of thing... Housekeeping was good though didn't always replace flannels or paper cups in rooms. Mini bar in room expensive even bottle water was $8... Hotel close to decent restaurants which we ate almost every night but can be expensive specially as we had steak.. Dont forget to add 15/20% to your final bill for tips they do expect it.. I made sure to send the waitress back and for for minor things to justify the $26 tip otherwise all they did was serve the plate.. Cocktails weren't cheap at hotel lounge bar.. Staff at reception were friendly and helpful as were the staff on the entrance door holding the doors open for us each time.. This hotel had a pool on the top and pool bar.. Quite small pool to note but was an unexpected luxury if you use it especially on a hot day.. Comfy beds but pillows lumpy.. Excellent shower pressure and temperature.. Good location for subway..

Received a $68 charge for minibar usage which was refunded without question. Great location, reasonable quality room a bit peeling wallpaper but otherwise fine as a sleeping place.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Empire Hotel. It was very friendly, clean, with good facilities and as it was my boyfriend's birthday we were treated to a bottle of Prosecco. The hotel is located in a great area for transport, the subway is close, the Lincoln Centre is up the road, as is Central Park... and the pool and bar were nice extras. The only problem we had was that we found the aircon was very loud and the wifi a bit expensive, but we turned off the aircon and went next door to Starbucks! The staff were friendly and the drinks were amazing, although we were so busy sightseeing we didn't eat at our hotel. Overall we enjoyed our stay and our room was very comfortable.
