The Empire state building is walking distance from the Hotel as are metro railway stations and varied restaurants in all price ranges. In the room the toilet flush did not work properly but it was attended to in very quick time. March was very cold outside in New York and though the room had adequate heating there was no way...

This hotel located in a great position and is very affordable considering you are in the middle of New York. The rooms are great if you have a view and are quite roomy, apart from the bathroom which is so small. The lobby is beautiful and they do offer complimentary muffins in the morning for breakfast. Staff were very nice... More

I stay at The Wolcott sometimes as many as 3 times a year. There are certainly fancier hotels, but I really like The Wolcott. It's a good value, a great location just off Fifth Avenue and a couple of blocks downtown from The Empire State Building. Convenient to the subway, Macy's, 34th Street area shopping. I have found the front... More

I recently stayed at the Wolcott Hotel while I was in town for the Surtex Show. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the hotel. I found my room to be very clean and large (I got an upgrade), the breakfast was very good, but most impressive, the service was excellent. The hotel is... More

It was my second stay at the Hotel Wolcott and my boyfriend and I were very pleased again. We love to grab some Muffins and coffee in the morning in the lobby. The room was very nice and new furnished on an upper floor. I also once stayed in the Belvedere which also nice, but much more expensive. I would... More

We have stayed at this hotel 6 or 7 times over the last few years and we have found it to be a great value. The rooms vary from smallish to two room suites depending on what they have available, some have interesting "character" however they have always been clean and functional. The staff has always been pleasant and helpful... More

My wife and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon. We were given our room only to find it was a smoking room which we don't. The cleaners had tried to cover up the smell with air freshner which didn't work. All the enamel had started to fall away in the bath and it looked terrible. I asked if... More

There was a bathroom with a bath including all standard amenities. Talking about cons, there was a noise from other rooms and a noise of old pipes. There is a great,... More

Was looking for low cost/great location hotel in Manhattan and I got it with the Wolcott. Yes the rooms are small (it's New York, get out of your hotel room and see the city!) and they don't have many amenities but the location is amazing for people that want to be in the heart of the city. I found it... More
