Augustów Primeval Forest Luxury Vacations

H

The room itself is very clean. Very good staff. Wi-Fi is pretty weak. Has a weird system with the room key. You don’t get a card to enter your room anytime you want, you have to leave your key with reception every time you leave. You have to be a trusting person to be able to do that otherwise take any valuables with you if you can. Showers don’t have hot water. Free Breakfast and they gave me free water. Overall decent experience.

Traveled with a 5 years old, enjoyed the pool. Great service from staff.

Friendly staff. Good location by Grand Central Station, the NY Library, and Bryant Park. The Casablanca Hotel near Times Square is managed by the same company if you prefer that area. Similar price, better breakfast foods, slightly larger rooms I'm told, but Times Square is nightmarish to me.

Beautiful and spacious rooms with great amenities

Where to begin... I knew when I booked that this was a budget-friendly hotel, so I wasn’t expecting luxury. However, my stay was still very underwhelming. The AC either did not work or was so ineffective that I could barely feel it. It was extremely hot and humid, and people on my floor were leaving their hotel doors open because of the heat. There is also no fridge, and you have to request a microwave. Budget-friendly also does not have to mean worn down. There was chipped and peeling paint, and the hotel generally felt poorly maintained. One night, there appeared to be only one employee working across multiple floors. Where was management? I genuinely felt bad for him. He was doing his best and did not deserve to be left handling that workload alone. Please treat your staff better. I also had a hospitality staff member speak to me in an incredibly condescending and unprofessional way, as though I were a child being scolded rather than a paying guest. The elevator is VERY small and does not seem particularly ADA-friendly (good luck if you come with a lot of bags), and deliveries must be picked up in the lobby. Overall, I would not recommend staying here, especially during the summer. I will not be returning. Everyone’s experience may differ, but I want others to know what they may encounter before booking.
