Location. Across the Lincoln Center and near Colombo’s Circle.

Isabel, Dominican Republic

I’m so particular with water pressure lol and the shower was amazing! I’ve stayed in 5 start hotels in NYC and never get a good shower like that! Room was small but clean. Was the perfect location for where we were going. Nice rooftop, bar and lounge areas.

Sabrina, United States of America

Location was key. Good value for money. Staff helpful. Recommend it. Helpful little things, too, like umbrella in room. Restaurant closed so no room service. Plenty of towels. It was clean--no bugs of any kind.

David, United States of America

Only the location. In a good safe place. Next to Lincoln square. Very disorganized, gross, the staff are terrible and don’t know what they are doing when it comes to working with booking.com

Madeline, United States of America

the service was great and doormen were wonderful. the bed was comfy

Sheri, United States of America

I liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. I liked the hotel's location and surroundings. I liked the amenities (wifi, rooftop bar). I liked the helpful amenities in the room (toiletries, blow dryer). I liked that the room had an umbrella, a refrigerator, a nice television.

Marie, United States of America

The Empire was real "Old New York"; beautiful period building, wonderful staff and great location!

Robin, United States of America

Love the location and the staff was extremely friendly. We arrived early and staff was more than happy to see if a room was available and, if not, store our luggage in a safe location.

Staff were quite nonchalant. Rooms were a little tired and needed a freshen up.
Fabulous location to explore Central Park, museums and for Lincoln Centre. Out of the hustle and bustle but only a quick metro ride away to city centre. Great roof top bar.

I didnt like how the spa wasnt open or the roof top pool ! I was expecting there to be room service and for the money I paid I thought the gym would be a bit more equipt fitness is huge these days ! When I come away I dont want to be looking for a gym to go to me personally I'd rather the hotel have a up to date one ! Would have been pretty cool if there was a place set up in the hotel for site suggestions or restaurant without having to Google stuff urself sounds lazy but if there was a table there with places you have to see and eat would have been great !
Staff were very helpful and friendly with a great location loved how clean the bathroom was and the bed was very comfortable I liked how the staff suggested what places to eat for breakfast putting in the extra effort going the extra mile ! Was greatly appreciated
