The Empire Hotel New York

Een absoluut fantastisch en prachtig hotel. De douche was van een ongekend niveau. De waterdruk en temperatuur waren ongelooflijk goed voor een tiende verdieping. Het zwembad op het dak en de overige faciliteiten waren echt uniek.

Heel gewoon. De zogenaamde upgrade hield eigenlijk in dat een standaard tweepersoonskamer werd omgebouwd tot een vreemd afgebakende kamer voor mindervalide gasten, zonder enig uitzicht; het raam keek uit op een rommelig atrium. Afgezien van het logo op het plafond had het bijna niets met Gossip Girl te maken. Gelukkig had ik maar één nacht geboekt als tijdelijke oplossing.

Er was een probleem met de airconditioning en er kwam niemand om het te repareren, ondanks dat we meerdere keren contact met u hadden opgenomen.

Prima check-in. Bedankt George. De slaapkamers kunnen wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken.

The location of the hotel right near the Lincoln Center and Central Park is great. The room is comfortable and the staff are helpful.

The location is absolutely unbeatable—being just steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and the subway made exploring the city so easy. We also loved the atmosphere. The rooftop bar is a gem with a great vibe and beautiful view, good drinks, offering a perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing . Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. If you are tall, it’s better to book a room with a king bed. The hotel’s design is great! There are many restaurants nearby and a Starbucks right downstairs As a fun bonus for TV fans—the hotel is famous for being featured in Gossip Girl (as Chuck Bass's hotel) and the new Dexter: Resurrection series . It was exciting to stay in such an iconic spot!

I had a great stay here. Check in was simple and the staff were nice. The room was nice for what I paid, although lighting not great with only the bathroom lighting and mirror being sufficient to apply make up! Bathroom was small and pokey, having to close the door to access the make up mirror was annoying as no sideboard to store makeup so had to keep going in and out. Room was noisy as could hear neighbours talking, and lots of street noise. Ear plugs helped. Shower tray turned into a paddling pool but reported this and it was fixed. Cleaning staff were very nice and insisted on making up the rooms if they saw me in the hall. Overall, the staff I spoke to during my stay were very good, check in/out process was simple - M was very polite and explained the process, room decor could do with a refresh but wasn’t terrible, main areas look just how they look on Gossip Girl! I was able to leave my case for two hours after check out, this was very helpful. Location was great, one block from Central Park and plenty of supermarkets and food places nearby (love Morton Williams!) and perfect being just opposite the Lincoln centre too, although did not attend any shows here but also looks the same as it looks on Etoile! Overall, a satisfying stay in a great location. I will definitely consider staying here again.

The room was extremely dirty, there were cum stains all over the walls. The wallpaper was peeling off everywhere the beds were extremely hard and cheap. The a/c kept making so much noise that I wasn’t able to get any good sleep. We had no view out the window from the two corner rooms we got with both reservations. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the room because of how ugly both rooms were I think they were 306 and 1006. I will never be staying in this hotel ever again. The pillows were also so flat my neck hurt the whole time I was there. The towels were also dirty causing me to get a really bad rash on my ankles etc. extremely terrible service. For a hotel that rips people off by charging a daily fee this hotel does not live up to the standard of cleanliness and should not charge a fee if they’re not updating their rooms etc. the only picture I have of the room you can definitely see huge stains on the walls and you can see how dirty the floor is and how old the bed looks
