Loved the location and proximity to the park. Not many hotels within this price range that can accommodate multiple children while on vacation. We always choose this hotel or another located on the UWS.

Excellent location. Seconds to subway 81st & bus stop. Perfect for getting up EARLY for free Shakespeare in the Park tickets & exploring Central Park. Farmers market & Grand Bazaar NYC Sunday morning. Lots of restaurants on Amsterdam & Broadway. I will stay again.

For me it was a great location. I joined family to attend graduations at Columbia Univ. and lots of sightseeing, theater, etc. Hotel is close to different subway routes, a half a block from Central Park, across the street from the Natural History Museum and I had a room with a view of NYC skyline. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The restaurant connected with the hotel was very good. My family and I ate there twice and had drinks in the bar once. The bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean, had cotton swabs and balls. Lighting in bathroom was excellent. Starbucks was close by to get tea lattes and oatmeal.

The location is very close to Central Park, which we intended to go with our 14 month old son. It's also next to a Metro station. The bed was very comfortable and the size of the room is quite large. The room was very clean and the lobby is cozy

Bed comfortable, decor beautiful, suite furniture comfortable and lovely, staff very helpful and pleasant and location fabulous. We enjoy the museums and Central Park. We visited The American Natural History Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Julius Caesar Shakespeare in the Park - all within walking distance. We were on the 8th floor and could see Central Park from our windows. The Planetarium within the Natural History Museum could be seen from our windows. Calle Ocho restaurant is attached to the hotel and has excellent food, good music and efficient, courteous wait staff. We had a very enjoyable few days. We always stay at the Excelsior Hotel when we visit NYC.

Location is excellent, 5 min walk to Central Park, near lively Amsterdam Ave, 35 min walk to Times Sq. We had a suite on the 12th floor overlooking the park, staff polite, nice Cuban restaurant in the premises. Bed was comfortable. All in all, considering location, very good value for money.
