Stayed here for three nights for a conference. I didn't get to enjoy the outstanding location very much since the conference agenda was packed but found the property to be top notch. Rooms have small bathrooms you would expect with an older property. The HVAC was also dated since it was unseasonably warm but there was no A/C. Fortunately I... More

I have to admit I had thought the place would be an outdated stuffy old relic but I was wrong. It is not a Hyatt or Sheraton but that isnt the clientelle they are going for. I think if you want a good location and a piece of New York History and really good service - this is the hotel.... More

I have always wanted to stay at the Waldorf ever since I read an article about it in Reader's Digest more than 20 years ago. To say that I was disappointed would be putting it very very mildly. The room that we were in had such a run down feel to. The bathroom fixtures had rust on them. The first... More

If you prefer minimalist, ultra-modern décor then this is probably not the place for you. The Waldorf is all about old world charm – big sweeping chandeliers, lovely art deco/1920s style rooms. The bathrooms aren’t super modern, but bright and airy with high-quality fittings and scrupulously clean. A huge bath tub, if like me you like a good soak. We... More

A grand hotel with a beautiful lobby area and extremly polite and helpful staff. Would like to particularly thank Wayne at check-in who represented the hotel wonderfully. The hotel is ideally located for exploring the city and close to the rockerfeller centre, grand central station and shopping on 5th & Madison. The rooms are a bit on the small side... More

We chose this hotel as it's one of the most famous hotels in New York. The hotel had an impressive foyer with chandeliers and old fashioned elegance. The rooms were large with a super comfy bed. The rooms were not modern and minimalist but classic and chintzy and what you would expect. The Noel has plenty of history and many... More

Just got back from the Waldorf Astoria following a 4 night stay and we could not fault this hotel. I’ve read some previous reviews about the standard of rooms being tired and musty. All I can say is that our room (2516) was fantastic. It was large, spotlessly clean and had an extremely comfortable king size bed with a ‘boudoir’... More

My husband gave me a Winter Spa package at the Waldorf Astoria as a gift for my recent trip to New York. The Waldorf is a classic and there is no modern minimalism here. My room was large and spacious and very comfortable. Room service was a bit of a let down on my first night - I arrived and... More

My husband surprised me for my birthday with a 4 day trip to New York and as a NY lover I had always wanted to stay at the Waldorf, so this was a fabulous gift that I will never forget. We arrived at the hotel to be told we had an upgrade to king suite. The staff at reception were... More
