Park 79 - New York

Haben das Hotel nochmals relativ kurzfristig umgebucht, weil wir beim ersten Hotel nicht auf die Lage geachtet hatten. Die Lage des Hotels ist spitze, waren direkt am Central Park, U-Bahn Station schnell zu erreichen, spitze! Hatten kostenloses Wireless Internet, was für uns sehr wichtig war (Routenplanung für unsere folgende Reise, usw.) Es ist kein Frühstück dabei, haben uns dann irgendwo etwas zu essen gekauft. Kaffe/Tee konnte man sich in der Lobby holen. Ist eine tolle Lage für Sightseeingtouren weil man überall schnell hinkommt. Die Klimaanlage war viel, viel, viel zu laut, das Zimmer sehr klein und es gab kein wirkliches Fenster. Sonst war das Zimmer sehr sauber, Bad war auch wirklich sehr klein, aber für eine Sightseeingtour passt es, vor allem vom Preis her!

Preisleistung stimmt nicht. Türen kaputt. Als wir dort waren wurde gerade der Gang gestrichen.

Das Hotel befindet sich in einer super Lage, in einem ruhigeren Teil der 79th Street. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber sauber. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Bad auf dem Flur, was absolut okay war. Das Bad war immer frei und sauber. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt hatten wir einen überaus positiven Gesamteindruck. Wenn man eine einfache, und für New York noch bezahlbare Unterkunft sucht, kann ich das Park 79 nur empfehlen.

super Lage, ruhig, gute Matratzen, Bad extrem klein, Räume wenig für längeren Aufenthalt geeignet (kein Stuhl, kein Tisch)

Zimmer war recht klein, aber sauber. Von den zwei Bädern auf dem Gang war immer eines frei, benutzbar und sauber (und das im August). Einziger kritikpunkt: die Klimaanlage auf dem Zimmer hat die temeraturen kaum mehr geschafft und war laut. Leider waren die Bäder nicht klimatisiert.

Wie schon andere Besucher schrieben: Das Bad ist winzig. Weitere Mängel: Die Zierleisten am Boden sind zum Teil angestoßen und haben Wasserflecken, die Verarbeitung im Bad ist unsauber. Also keine Premiumqualität. Aber der Service ist sehr gut, das Personal nett und die Lage top.

This is a budget hotel in NYC. Concerns: No lobby to speak of. Tired building. Small room, tight for a couple, bed against the wall so you have to get out of bed at the foot of the bed (or climb over your mate), blank walls in our room, a loud window air conditioner, a dark, small bathroom and worst, the room had a disagreeable odor, perhaps from a prior smoker (not allowed) or a cleaning agent. Positives: A good, responsive staff, a flat screen TV, little amenities in the room and bath, a good shower, a comfortable bed and quality towels. Best: The location for the price. So would we recommend this hotel? Only to some people. This hotel is not for everyone. To those who want this great locale but also want their comforts, I'd say there are better choices.

This was my first trip to New York City. I am a college student that needed a nice trip to go on alone for spring break. I knew that, being a "creature of comfort", I needed a hotel that didn't have an excess of amenities that would keep me inside each day for longer than necessary. However, it still needed to be very comfortable to return to after a long day of walking around. Park 79 gave me just what I needed: a standard, cozy room (maybe a tad "small" to some people) with a very comfortable bed, and a nice, clean bathroom. I have a "thing" about bathrooms that aren't mine, so it was just what I needed. There were options to choose a room with a shared bathroom on the floor, but I just booked a room with a private one, and was not disappointed. I also enjoyed the free Wi-Fi Internet access. The staff was always friendly and willing to help with advice on where I needed to go while in NYC. I was always greeted, going out and coming in, with a smile or a "hello" (which I surprisingly don't get, everywhere I stay). What I loved most about the hotel was the location! Being less than a block away from Central Park made for enjoyable, scenic early morning walks to get the mind and body in sync. There were also a few subway stations nearby, which basically made all of Manhattan (Midtown, Times Square, etc) accessible within minutes by train. I'm a quiet person, so I appreciated being close to all the sights and sounds, without being right in the middle of them all the time. I ended up just wondering around by foot most of my trip, but still kept a subway metro card handy with a few bucks on it, when needed. I am already anticipating a return to NYC soon, and Park 79 is on my short list of hotels where I will consider staying. Again, not the most ideal hotel for larger families (4+), but great for single travelers or couples needing a nice and affordable place to stay.

Very small bedroom and bathroom. Shower slow to run hot water. All that said, good value for money in a good location. Air Con and Flat screen TV were good. Bed comfortable. You get what you pay for - this is good value. Your expectations need to match the price you pay.

I could to connect wireless internet only several miniutes inside the room with closing door.

I went to the hotel alone, and as a guy I think it was definately a great place to stay. I stayed in a room with a community bathroom, but it didn't matter much, no one was in them when I need to use it. Also, there are two on the floor. I love the location of the hotel and that is the main reason I stay there, and the cost is one of the best in the city.

We expected a very small room and weren't sure if we had a private bath from the hotels.com email confirmation. But, the actual receipt assured us that we did, so we went ahead thinking we might have to fight for one. But, they upgraded us to a suite and enjoyed a small but comfortable, room with two rooms. It was very nice. We were very happy with it all. The elevator was tiny.

This boutique hotel is small, but quaint. The location is fantastic. It is smack dab in the Upper West Side with plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping close by. The subway is only a few blocks from here so the locations was PERFECT!!

The location of this hotel is great, right near bus stops, the Subway, Central Park, and the Museums. The rooms are a little small, but that is OK, there is still room! The private bathroom was great, and the shared one was very very clean. We would definitely return, and definitely reccommend this hotel! The staff was also very friendly, and they can store your baggage between check out time and when you leave!

The hotel is located on a quiet street, a short walk from many shops and restaurants. It's far enough off the beaten path that it feels like you're with the locals, but it's close enough to the subway line and the Park that you can easily enjoy the best of the city. I recommend it for a short stay in the city - though maybe not for too long as the room was a bit cramped.

There was a mix up on rooms when we first arrived - we were put in a double room instead of a twin room. It took two nights to sort out but eventually we were in the right room by the 3rd night. The shared bathrooms weren't really a problem as they were always available. More importantly the rooms were clean, towels and sheets changed daily. I was travelling with a laptop, and left money lying around the room on occasions - pleased to report not a dime went missing. Couldn't fault the location of the hotel - only one block from Central Park, and a 20 minute walk to Times Square. There is also a great selection of restaurants and deli's to choose from for breakfast.

Yes, it was small, but it was a great little room. It was at least 50-80 dollars less than other "budget" rooms for the same night, so I was a little nervous about what we were getting into, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff was nice, the room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Again, it was small, so a larger person would not be comforable - the toilet was in a bit of a tight spot and the shower was just a smallish stand up stall, but I was very happy and would stay here again anytime. I had one of the first floor rooms.

Prime Upper West Side location. The room was small, but not claustrophobic, and very clean. The bed was very comfortable, and the sheets and comforter were of high quality. Great neighborhood for tourists: near Central Park, Museum of Natural History, lots of restaurants.

we made reservations 3 months in advance for a double w/ euro shared bath. when we arrived we were told they "upgraded us" to a private bath. the room was cut up and aprox 7ft.x 11ft.with the bed against the wall. the bath was again cut up and the toilet area was 24 inches wide and a person could get on the toilet by backing into it and again walking foreward in order to clean. when you leaned over for the sink you had to open the door behind you for enough roomto bend over... and finally the shower door could only open half way before hitting the sink and therefore you stepped in sideways. addionally it was all done, floor,walls to ceiling, in black charcoal tiles making appear like a small spooky cave. when we asked for a different room the clerk kept repeating "we gave you an upgrade" in a sort of arrogant fashion. the next day we were finally given a room with shared bath and it is all old with the double bed against the wall and no pictues on the walls. old furniture. sort of creepy. i will say the location is great., lots of shops and near metro and aprox the center of central park. felt safe and easy to get around. new york!!!

The hotel has a nice appearance in a nice neighborhood. Rooms are small but adequate. Everything worked and was clean.

My granddaughter and I visited as part of a birthday gift to celebrate her sixth birthday. She had a great time and loved the hotel with the wonderful, mirrored elevator (thought I was in Paris!)and the "cozy" room. Location perfect for restaurants and museums within walking distance. Would return with gal pals, sister and grandkids, but my husband would find the bathroom just a bit too small to turn around in! All in all, a really nice place to spend a couple of days seeing the sights. Quiet, good neighborhood, great value for my money.

When we arrived there was no one to help us with the luggage. Nobody offered. The room was ridiculously small. The heating was too hot. There was one outlet for the lamp, the tv and everything else. When we complained about the heat, they told us to open the window. After wrangling with the management, they finally and begrudginly moved us to another room. I will never stay there again.

Went up to NYC to see a live t.v. show. Needed a reasonably priced place to stay for 2. I found it. The room was small, but it was perfect for what we needed it for. It was clean and the staff was helpful. We needed to stay a bit past checkout time, and they were happy to help us with that. Would stay there again.

The staff at Park 79 provided stellar customer service. They were polite and professional with every interaction and even printed out menus of surrounding restaurants, without a request. The room is cozy and has all the basic amenities. The location is ideal for those who want to venture over to Central Park, which is across the street. Also, Park 79 is within a 5-minute walking distance to subway lines: 1, 2, 3, A, B, C, & D, as well as many restaurants, bars and shops.

We plan to utilize Park 79 henceforth when we visit our son and his family. Clean, upgraded, convenient location, friendly staff, fair price, good coffee in the lobby every morning. Of course, the rooms are small - I calculated 138 square feet, but who cares, you're in your room only to sleep and "play." My only complaint is the doors could be sealed better to help keep hallway voice noise to a minimum.

Excellent room, very clean and great rate. All that us, travellers, must know!

This hotel was great! My room was extremely small though, but it was only for one person so who cares? I didn't spend much time in my room. I opted for the private bath and that was small too, but very clean! I did peek into another room and it looked a bit bigger than mine so I'm sure some of the other rooms were probably bigger than mine. The bed was very comfortable and you can't beat the location and the price. Two blocks away from central park and 2 subway lines. This hotel definitely met my needs. There are also great restaurants nearby, including Sarabeth's which is right around the corner on Amsterdam. My only one caution about this hotel is that there is no carpet on the hallway floors so you can hear everyone dragging their suitcases down the hall and that can be kind of annoying. My room was right next to the lobby so I heard all the noise from the lobby and the hallway. My first night was fairly quiet though and I slept great. But my second night I didn't sleep as well because of all the noise. Also, there were always random suitcases sitting outside in the hallway no matter what time I came in. I'm not sure why they were there but it was very strange and looked very sloppy. Other than that it was a great stay. I'd definitely stay there again.

I didn't expect such a nice room for this price and I was surprised. The room is small but very nice and clean and the bedding is very comfortable. I have nothing to complain and I highly recommend this hotel to others.

If you are looking for a nice room to stay in for a trip to NYC, this is definitely a place to consider. Room was a decent size with an extremely comfortable bed with nice sheets and down bedding. Only minor issue was that the bathroom was separated, but it remained pretty clean except for the occasional lack of hand towels to dry your hands after washing (there is a sink in the room, though, so you can wash your hands there). Staff were courteous and helpful with my questions.

it was clean and confy the room was pretty small and we had to go to the hallway to go to the bathroom but overal it was good location wasnt bad it was right behind the museum of natural history the service was very good too the people was very polite

I was shocked by how small the room was. I felt very clostraphobic. Right away I had to call the front desk to ask to get my sheets changed because there was stains and hairs on the sheets. When the ladies came to change the sheets they made me uncomfortable. They kept asking me why I wanted them changed and there were 5 ladies in the room including me and my guest and it was very cramped. It was deffinitly not what I was expecting.

very clean, very friendly, but a small room. But that doesn´t matter, you are in NYC

The staff was welcoming, and the place has a warm feel and an old fashioned charm. The room was cute, though the bed was too hard and the TV reception was very poor. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, and we thoroughly enjoyed the local restaurants, shops, central park, and the Museum of Natural History. Overall a very pleasant stay at a good price.

I phoned the day of our reservation early to reserve a room that was not too hot, nor too cold - and preferably, on a quiet floor. When we arrived, they had no such record of the call. However the staff offered us a choice of two rooms, one they considered an upgrade, and the other, which was likely the one I had hoped for. It was lovely, we slept well, it was quiet and although the room was warm for us, we opened a window.

We really like staying on the upper west side, so this location was excellent. The room was a good value. The room was small, but we expected that and it is not as small as many other NYC hotels in older buildings. It was very well maintained with a modern bathroom and electronically up to date. My only problem was that there was not a single chair in the room, just a bench.

A very quaint, clean hotel with an outstanding friendly staff. They were very accommodating. They allowed us to check in early which was great as I hadn't been asleep for about 36 hours. The location was good, about 2 blocks from the subway straight into Times Square, and across the street from a really nice deli/store. The room was small but comfortable and warm-the weather was very cold. We would definitely stay again!

The room and bathroom are small but as expected for Manhatten. They were clean and well equipped. The metro is only a short walk away and Central Park is also within a 5 min walk.

This hotel is located right next to the Natural History Museum on the upper west side. Also close to the B, C trains. As a former New Yorker I was looking for something close to the subway that was affordable. This met my expectations. The rooms themselves are small but I didn't spend that much time there. If you're coming to New York for the first time and expecting something fancy, don't stay here. If you're looking to do New York on a shoestring budget, this is your place.

Let’s be honest up front, very small room, but who needs a big room when you’re in New York? It fit my wife and me splendidly. Bathroom was very clean and had obviously been redone recently, very nice. Again, it was small but it’s not like we’re hosting a party in their. Do your business, get out and it’s more then enough. Staff was very accommodating and made several wonderful recommendations. We also had an issue with the hair-dryer, called down and there was someone up to fix it with in a minute; very helpful. The location was perfect; right next to the park – across the street from the museum of natural history. Price was a steal for what we were given. Next time I’m not even going to bother looking elsewhere, this was perfect for us.

We have stayed at Park 79 several times and usually stay there if available. The rooms are nothing too fancy,but they give you all you require while in the city, since no one should be in their room for to long with such a great city to discover. The rooms definately vary in size since our last stay we had the smallest of rooms ever. However, the staff was great and the location is fantastic. We plan on returning again & again.
