Top Central Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"This place was clean, rooms were comfy, and staff is great. View from the room was trash but everything else made up for it."

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, and the staff was friendly overall. However, one older individual working at the front desk had a bit of an attitude. The rest of the staff was very friendly. The hotel definitely needs some renovations, as it was a bit janky, but we still enjoyed our stay, mainly because of the location."

The Manhattan Club

8/10 Good

"The concierge was very helpful in guiding us by showing us map directions of where we should visit seeing as this was our first visit from Australia"

Park Central Hotel New York

8/10 Good

"None"

New York Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying at the Marriott Marquis Times Square. I love that the hotel is centrally located. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The room was nice and clean. The only complaint I have is the lack of a microwave. My friend and I had lots of leftovers and no way to warm them up. We took advantage of eating at the restaurant Revel & Rye on the premises and it was amazing food (especially the breakfast sandwich). Levain bakery is one of my many stops I love going to when I’m in the city, So I was excited to see that there’s a Levain bakery inside the hotel. I got my cookie fix almost every day. I had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you love being in the center of all the action Times Square has to offer. I will definitely be booking again for my yearly trip to NYC."

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Was a last second options and it was perfect for my needs and accommodation. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay."

Warwick New York

10/10 Excellent
