It is easy to find a 5-star hotel that meets expectations. But, sometimes circumstances don't allow us to stay in luxury hotels! For reasons of cost (it was graduation week in NY, and hotel rates had doubled an tripled - no joke), and location, our TripAdvisor research took us to Astor on the Park. Yes, we did have a view...

The room was small but clean. The furnishings were outdated and worn, the shade over the window was in shambles, walls were scuffed, carpet was worn but clean. The bathroom had been updated fairly recently and was nice. The view was of other windows. But we were looking for a cheap place to stay so I would have to say... More

This hotel is a little run down, but clean with helpful, friendly staff. Some of the electrical outlets in our room were so loose that it was hard getting a plug to stay in and the TV reception was terrible, but as far as a place to lay our heads, it suited the purpose. We had a room facing the... More

Nice quiet location right on Central Park, great proximity to Upper West Side, Harlem and Columbia campus. My room was basic but clean, modern bathroom, comfortable bed. Front desk staff helpful and courteous. Don't book this is you're looking for sleek luxury, but if you're looking for a good value for Manhattan, it's hard to beat.

We stayed in this hotel last week (week ending 22/04) for 5 nights. After reading the reviews about the size of rooms we booked a twin bedroom which i would recommend because these rooms looked a lot bigger. We found the staff friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. The room were very clean and comfortable. It's in a... More

This is a hard one for me. We stayed 2 nights here last week. The room was fine and clean so it worked for us but I'm a bit concerned about the electric system. Our TV wouldn't work so someone came up to try to fix which ended up just re-plugging into another outlet as the one it was plugged... More

Let me start out by saying that if we had stayed in the first room we were given, this hotel would have been rated zero stars. A very strange room with torn carpets and an odd concrete balcony strewn with garbage and cigarette butts. The balcony had concrete walls with oval cutouts that provided a very limited view of the...

We stayed at the Astor for 6 nights at the beginning of April 2012. We expected the rooms to be small since it is New York so that wasn't a problem. We got room 207, a room facing the park which sounded great. However, the windows were filthy and one of them had toilet paper dangling from it. This was... More

As soon as we walked in to the Astor we knew it was not ging to be good.Our twin room was so small and very basic.There was no where to sit apart from the bed and the beds were so close together that one had to put there feet up while the other got past.The room was dark because we... More
