This was my 2nd time in NYC and the previous hotel I stayed at was booked up. Like you probably realise, I was very aware of how hard it is to find a decent priced hotel in Manhattan which is clean & safe. We booked a 3 bed room as this was the only room available for our stay in... more

Came here on honeymoon and as such asked before hand if they had a room with a view of the empire state building which was duly acknowleged and supplied at no extra cost, 9023 I think. (see photo). The room was small (standard for NYC) but offered what was expected for the price, a clean room with double bed, tv,... more

Having previuosly stayed in New York i was not expecting much as standard in New York for hotels seem to be far less than if you stayed anywhere else in the US. But i was pleasantly suprised. The hotel was great, great location, staff friendly and room cleaned daily. The room was basic but clean. We stayed on the 9th... more

Small room with mini-fridge, cable tv and ac. Comfortable bed and bathroom was very clean. No closet, but had wall shelf with some hangers.

Also, plenty of coffee shops and restaurants within two blocks,... more

Very basic hotel and rooms but a fantastic location. If you plan to spend much time in your room dont stay here but you shouldnt stay in your room in NY. Good value for the location. more

I spent weeks and weeks researching a good hotel in New York, as it is so expensive compared to the other cities. I eventually decided on Hotel Grand Union, and was soooo pleased with my choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a luggage lock up where you can leave your luggage until you need it (a... more

This hotel is very well located. Just a few steps from Park Avenue & handy for the Empire State Building & Grand Central Station. All members of staff on reception were pleasant & helpful. The airline lost my luggage en route to New York & hotel staff did what they could to take messages, etc. The room was not huge... more

We stayed at the Hotel Grand Union in april and did a research on tripadvisor before booking. We arrived around 10 pm and was a group of 10 people. Only one person worked at the reception so it took us about one hour to get our rooms. We got a double bed on the fifth floor. The room was large... more
