Tight room, great location.

First, the good! Bed was very comfortable, room decor was nice, internet worked well, and the front desk staff were extremely helpful. The location across from Lincoln Center is fantastic—great food and entertainment nearby. The lobby is a lovely place to meet or read, and the rooftop bar is wonderful (the pool is tiny and has very few lounge chairs, so don’t expect much there). Now, the not-so-good… The hallway was so dark it made me uncomfortable. My room was about the size of a walk-in closet—no dresser, no suitcase stand, no room for a chair at the desk. I, literally, lived out of my suitcase on the narrow wall-desk. I can’t imagine two people staying in there comfortably. At check-in, I was given a room with a broken air conditioner (in August!). Maintenance took one look at the ancient unit and said the front desk would call me. Clearly, they knew it was broken—so why assign it? I was moved to a similar room that had working A/C but no safe (in NYC!). When I asked, they offered to send up a portable safe, which, at least, made me laugh. Bottom line: There’s a lot to like here—friendly staff, great location, comfortable bed—but the room size and a few odd issues made it hard to fully enjoy my stay. I’m not sure I could do another trip in such a tiny space.

You can't beat the location, right across from Lincoln Center. The hotel has a pleasant rooftop bar and lounge. The beds were fine. The closet was a decent size. But our room was in desperate need of renovation -- it looked as if it had not been redecorated since the 80s. It was humid even with the AC on. The bathroom was so tight it should have had a pocket door; you had to shut the door all the way to use the loo, and then the bathroom became unbearably hot. One of the two windows had a shade which could not be raised. The air conditioner was positioned behind the curtains, so it was impossible to cool the room with the curtains drawn at night. However, the staff was very professional; when we lost AC, someone came quickly to repair it.

I’ve stayed at The Empire before and will again! The location is perfect and the rooftop pool and bar/restaurant with views is a quiet perfect spot. I wish the pool was open later and that it was accessible by elevator without going thru the restaurant. Just my own small preferences: 10/10 !

Good hotel

It is an older hotel. Our room was upgraded but the air conditioner didn’t get below 70 degrees in the room. The lobby area was great and we were given bottled waters any time we asked for free. The pool is very tiny and only opened from 11am to 7pm.

A roof over your head in a nice central location.

The hotel has excellent location right next to central park. But, really, it's just a room with a toilet. Nothing else. There is no coffee making facilities or anything else, so compared to what you find in many other places, it's just a really expensive, nicely located room with a bathroom in NY. The rooftop is very expensive and the pool really small. No breakfast included, no coffe in the room, all the conveniences that you find in most other hotels. Only the reception area is really classy and staff are very friendly. There are good breakfast and coffee options in the neighborhood, but this hotel should not kid itself into thinking it's more than it is. A roof over your head in a nice central location.
