A great little find. Perfect location. Close enough to all the tourist spots without being in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Rooms clean, yet basic. All you really need when you spend little time in them. Free muffins/coffee a great inclusion if you want to save on a light breakfast. Only negative aspect was the staff member...

I had the job to find myself and some family members a cheap but still decent hotel i New York City. For Easter. As you can imagine, that wasn't easy. Thanks to reviews here on TripAdvisor I finally went for it and booked Wolcott, telling my family they shouldn't expect the hotel to be very good. What struck os first...

This hotel has bed bugs! I tried to bring it to the attention of management in a discreet way but they didn't come to my room when requested. Instead of waiting and missing my train to DC I mentioned it at check out. The staff replied by implying I had lied saying that no one had called reception asking for...

We stayed at The Wolcott in October 2010 for a long weekend. There were 5 of us in total across 2 rooms. The triple room we had was very roomy, the beds large and comfy and although the decor was very dated it was clean and tidy and had all the amenities we needed. No restaurant or bar in this...

Stayed here over the Easter weekend with some friends. I was a bit worried given some of the other reviews on here. We thought it was a good hotel however. Granted it doesn't have a bar or restaurant but this is reflected in the price. We didn't have a great view but then we didn't intend staying in the room...

Following some of the reviews, we were a little apprehensive, but the Wolcott was excellent value. The staff weren't chatty, but were professional, the rooms clean and spacious (for New York!) and the showers worked! Great location, nice muffins and coffee, good value for a lively trip to New York.

Hotel is not as shown on website pictures, rooms are dirty, aircon sometimes doesnt work. I asked my luggage to be left in their secure area after check out. Upon collecting it, I noticed the padlocks were tampered with. I reported this to the receptionist, he was rude & did not listen saying it doesnt happen to their hotel, yeah...

My husband and I stayed here from 4 March - 10 March 2011. The location of this hotel is really what you are paying for. Our room was basic but clean. Not fancy, but realistically we just slept there at night. Some of the reviews we read complained that the room was too small. But we found that it was...

I stayed at the Wolcott for a few nights while travelling home from Europe to Australia. I hadn't been to America before, and while I really enjoyed my time in New York, this hotel lived up to every bad stereotype of the city. The only staff who were pleasant or helpful were the cleaners. The other staff seemed to assume...
