It is a good hotel in a very good location but the heat in the room was unbearable. It seems like it was central heating; we could not regulate it in the room. Even with windows open, it was incredibly hot in the room.

Decent hotel near Lincoln Center.

The Empire Hotel was very good overall. Great location, as we were going to Lincoln Center. Very clean. Room and bathroom were uncomfortably small. Room was too warm and I couldn't turn off the heat. Staff was friendly.

THE HEAT IS ON

My stay, per usual was great. The only minor detail is....I could not find the control for climate and room was very hot. STILL I was OK. (I did not call front desk because of the late hour. I just wanted to sleep). In the big picture, this was ok. Front desk was amazing as always. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT!!

Looks nothing like in the photos. Dirty small room

I was pretty terrified when I walked into the room. It looked nothing like the pictures. It was dark. The curtail was torn and broken so I couldn’t pull it up to get light in. The furniture, carpet and walls were worn out. There were burn mark in the toilet. It was such a small room. The ambiance was reminiscent of a cheap motel. I only booked it for one night but I immediately knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep there so I left.

Bedrooms need major makover

The bedrooms need a major makeover. Sink was almost falling off the wall in the bathroom. Everything looks tatty and old and it’s an old creaky building. Cant understand all the 5* reviews here after staying there. The manager was nice and I like this location in NYC. Wouldn’t stay here again though.

Hotel is at a very nice location. It also has a beautiful lobby but the room facility is dated. The bathroom is so small to the point hard to turn around. The phone is broken so the call to the front desk cannot be heard. Coffee is not in the room nor provided in the lobby.
