The location across the street from Lincoln Center, was the main reason for our stay. The hotel’s vibe was buzzy and the decor is very interesting. Rooftop bar was fun and the hotel staff, especially housekeeping, was very accommodating. The place needs som cosmetic upkeep, but we would definitely stay at the Empire Hotel again.

A special shout-out to Denis, at the door, and Pasquale, at the desk. Without Denis, I would not have been able to move my son into college - he went WAY above and beyond to help out a struggling mom. In 3 short days I felt he'd become a friend, with huge smiles at greeting us and great advice always. Pasquale recognized the wifi trouble in my room, and that I needed to keep working in the (lovely) lobby, and offered to adjust my bill, which was very thoughtful.

The location of this hotel is EXCELLENT for cultural activities. It’s also easy to get transportation. The room was very small. There was no room to open 2 suitcases. There is a real need for some TLC and repairs. The paint was peeling on the wood door in the bathroom, there was no fan in the bathroom, no coffee maker, shower regulator was broken and hard to get hot water, but there was hot water and a nice rainfall shower head and a hand held too. Overall we had a fine time, since we weren’t staying in too much. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

This Hotel does not know how to deal with Credit Cards. I made a reservation to pay at the check-in, and they made a mistake which caused to my account the blocking of 2,5x the amount due during the week we stayed there, an amount which was released only one week after each billing. To make things worse, one of the Front Desk Attendants was arrogant and told me that "Hotel does not make any mistake", which later was recognized by the Manager as they did, which somehow was not reported to her as soon as happened. It is a good Hotel and it is in a very good place, but the first impression with more than 30 minutes to make the check-in process, and later all the stressing situation due the mistakes did by the Front Desk Team along the week (and in the Check-out as well) make me to do not recommend the hotel to stay again in NYC. Now everything is solved, but my time in NYC could be better if the check-in process was done correctly in the first place.

The Empire Hotel honest review

The hotel was just ok. Very small rooms. We booked the standard queen. Could hardly fit 2 people in there. Felt like we were tripping over each other. The room and halls are very dark. Our shade in our room wouldn't open and i figured out why when i peaked out the window. You were right next to another building and can see right into others windows. Says there was onsite parking which wasn't true, we had to park offsite approx 6 blocks away. When we parked, we had to leave the key with the company. That had me a little worried but ended just fine. The rooftop and pool is only open to 7pm. The rooftop bar was open later but not full open rooftop. Drink prices were crazy expensive. The pool is tiny. Overall not a bad experience just overpriced for what you got. And parking is NOT onsite.

The hotel is in an incredibly great location. Super easy walk to Central Park and the Metropolitan Opera House. My guest had a beautiful room overlooking Dante Park. My room was at the very end of a dark hallway, so dark I could not see the key slot without using the flashlight on my phone. My window overlooked basically a mechanical waste dump surrounded on four sides by walls. I needed a chair in my room so I called the front desk. One was promised but not delivered. The bed was nice and firm, which was heavenly. The hotel suited my purpose and I would stay there again, but definitely NOT in that room, and I would likely not upgrade for a king room. My room was far too small for a king bed, and the refrigerator and armoire were ill placed.

Low price for a reason.

The elevators were completely unreliable a situation that was exacerbated by the many times our key did not work. We would have to wait for the elevators to go back down to the lobby and then back up to the room to try a new key. The lobby had a lovely art deco vibe but the rooms were like the scene of a dark 1950’s noir film. Dated, dark, dingy
