The Empire Hotel

The hotel was in a great location. No more than a 5 minute walk to the nearest station for travel, walking distance to time sq & central park. The rooms had everything we needed but we had 4 people in a room that was the same size as my brother had for 1 person minus a bed. So it was pretty cramped for us. Luckily it was just a place to sleep & wash. The shower was great very powerful. Clean towels provided everyday. WiFi was a nightmare! Didn't work for the first 5 days even sat in reception I was able to connect to the restaurant next door before the hotel itself. Rooftop bar was lovely & staff at every interaction were friendly & helpful. Also bottled water was provided when ever requested. Id definitely stay here again but not as a family of 4 perfect for a couple or singleton

Positive: Location, historic building Negative: No heat in first room. Windows did not close and lock completely. Moved to second room and heat/air unit broke again. Second had no safety lock, chain any any added security.

Snagged a great deal for this place. Really enjoyed our stay. The staff were always nice and helpful. The location was great. The rooftop bar was so much fun. The room showed a bit of its age and could use some minor cosmetic touches, and the mattresses could've been a smidge comfier, but not the end of the world. After a few days, it really felt like home. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location right by the Columbus Circle station. Very walkable and great views of the park. The staff were so friendly. I got here about an hour early and they let me check in. They also upgraded me to a suite which felt very special as this was my first trip away as a new mom! A special thanks to those at the front desk- Pasquale, Ariel, and Keenan for their warm welcome. |Great value for room size and location. Room comes with fridge (not mentioned on the website but I called ahead and are standard in all rooms).

I honestly had a great time during my stay in this hotel! Great music and vibes in the lobby, the rooftop bar is amazing, they also give as many as water bottles you can carry! Haha The rooms were good I just wished the bathroom was bigger but overall good! The staff is the highlight of the hotel! Great staff! Leslie, Audry and Ari were incredible and made me feel like I was in my own home! Thank you guys!! I will definetly come back!!
