Location was fantastic, staff very friendly and welcoming.

Alexander, United States of America

Perfect location close to MET and Central Park south..

Susanne, Germany

Luis at the front desk is very professional and accommodating. He upgraded to a JR. Suite.

Mary, United States of America

Great location. Beautiful lobby. Friendly helpful staff.

Kenneth, United States of America

Excellent facility in a fabulous location at an unbeatable price. 3rd time I've stayed there this summer and I will be back. The beautiful roof garden and lounge is an excellent bonus. The restaurant on the corner is very good and the drugstore and Starbucks on the other side of the building puts everything within easy walking distance. Cabs are readily available.

M, United States of America

Excellent location, central, close to subway and Central Park, many good restaurants just over the road. Room was fine, small but functional (family of 4, 2 double beds) Facilities clearly dated but refurbished, shower and aircon both old, but worked fine, beds were comfortable.

Michael, United Kingdom

It was central to the Lincoln Center for performing arts and the person I went to see. It was easy to get around and close to Central Park.

Caroline, United States of America

The bed or pillows were fine. The staff was very good. The location was excellent.

George, United States of America

The Empire Hotel is a wonderful hotel in a great location! The view from the rooftop is spectacular!!

Michelle, United States of America

Nice staff, great location, small but nice sweemingpool. Gym- not that good.
