Nothing is there to like at all.. poor management ... bad staff specially that lady extemely pathatic to even talk to. bad room condition. very very dirty.

Ashii, United Arab Emirates

Close to subway close to a good and nice diner cheap

Sophia, Australia

The position was excellent for my purposes: very close to the 96th St. subway station where both lines 1 and 2 stop, which get me to Lincoln Center and Penn Station, my principal destinations. The room was provided with plenty of electric sockets and with a ceiling fan.

Bonnie, Italy

Friendly and helpfull staff members. Very good acces to subway stations.

Joyceay, Netherlands

Great location, right beside a subway stop. Has what you need - decent place to sleep, clean bathroom.

Sonali, Canada

- The staff were nice to us. - the cleaning was done. It does smell like chemicals but at least they are cleaning.

Cha, Netherlands

- Excellent staff and customer service. - Fantastic and convenient location in the heart of the Upper West Side, located just one block from the 96th Street subway, with local and express trains downtown. - Room was spacious and bathroom(s), whilst shared, were kept clean throughout.

Asher, United Kingdom

Very good location. Close to central park, subway. Many places to eat

Magda, Poland

They agreed to change the room that we were given when we asked. The first room we got was half the size of the second room... which looked more like the one in the website photos. By the way we paid for a room with a private bathroom, which are the pricest in the place!

Vijp, Peru

It was pretty clean and the mattresses were comfortable, it was ok.

It is not super clean, small rooms (we had to upgrade to a larger one as we phisically didn't fit in our originally booked room), generally the building and facilities are very old.

“Convenient location but overpriced”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
The room was quite large but offered practically no amenities. There wasn't even a chair, the only place to sit being on the bed. In the bathroom there were a couple small bars of soap, but the shower stall didn't have any shelf whatsoever on which to place shower accessories. I was there for 3 nights, but housekeeping was done only once during my stay, and even then the trash was not taken out. Considering the high price--more than I usually pay to stay in Manhattan--and the low value, I would be unlikely to book at the Royal Park Hotel again.
The position was excellent for my purposes: very close to the 96th St. subway station where both lines 1 and 2 stop, which get me to Lincoln Center and Penn Station, my principal destinations. The room was provided with plenty of electric sockets and with a ceiling fan.

- The issue with this hotel isn't the staff, they were always nice to us. Also for a shared bathroom, the cleaning was done, it's the customers who aren't respectfull. - unfortunately we had a room next to the door of the hallway with stupid people slamming it all night long, yelling in the hallway, pipes noise all night, bed not comfortable at all. The rooms are pretty small but it's a hostel don't expect a suit, it was fine enough for 2 people. We booked 3 nights only stayed 2 and changed hotel because of the noise all night long from other occupants.

This is not a hotel, it's only a hostel. Booked a double bedroom with a shared bathroom - turned out to be a small room that fit 2 double beds and the bathroom was shared with the entire floor. Not suitable for families with kids. Found cockroaches in the room.

- A lot of commotion and noise from the cleaning staff and other guests, including groups every morning. - There was no wardrobe in my room, but I was given hangers and a chair, and made do with these. - More/better selection of toiletries for the bathroom, plus a bath mat/towels for the bathroom floor would be a plus.

Bedbugs. Got biten in my whole left arm. This was in the 2nd room we had, the larger one! I also didn't like that the first room we got was so tiny and uncomfortable. The price was way too high for such a room. It was a good thing I complained but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Both rooms we slept in were really noisy. You can hear when people upstairs use the shower or the toilet :/
