  • Old World charm.
  • Over priced, stuffy, outdated and the employees.

“Encountered the manager while I was checking in. What an inconsiderate and condescending person. She rudely cut short information that she was providing and engaged a conversation with another employee. No excuse me or pardon me, just turned away to a customer who was paying big bucks! What happened to the customer comes first philosophy? The owners should consider her contribution to the hotel.”

  • Every employee was helpful. Lovely and comfortable.
  • Sunday brunch made the whole lobby situation a disaster.

“Very comfortable and luxurious, a walk to central park and many midtown venues. Many elevators so you never had to wait. Airport shuttles directly to the hotel, saving on cab fare. Concierge staff were extremely helpful, looking up little destinations and helping with directions”

  • The service was outstanding.
  • Starting to look weathered.

“Service was great. Bathrooms were large and well planned. Double beds were small to share. The overall decor is starting to look weathered, but the rooms were very clean.”

  • The room was really nice, although small. Comfy bed.
  • Expensive for the room size but it was nice, quiet.

“Classic NYC experience at the Waldorf Astoria - although it seems to be overrun by Midwesterners in shorts & sandals. The clientele is a little less classy but the lobby looks like a movie set, old Hollywood. Rooms are small but quite nice, great bathrooms & products. We left early but our room seemed to be very quiet.”

  • The Waldorf is a top hotel with outstanding staff and exceeded our expectations.
  • The room service price was extremely inflated.

“The Waldorf was a dream come true. It was absolutely beautiful. They had every service that you could possibly need. It is located in the heart of New York which made it a wonderful choice for a short vacation. The Staff is wonderful, the room service is extremely pricey, but all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.”

  • Old worldly, comfortable, homely.
  • I really miss the piano player in the foyer, it created an amazing ambience which is now very lost.

  • The romantic elegance of the lobby and restaurant areas.
  • No easy access to early morning coffee, or hotel store.

“The Waldorf Astoria is definitely part of the New York experience, and recommended for anyone looking for a weekend getaway. The Peacock Alley restaurant was also excellent.”

  • It had personality. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
  • I can't find anything that I didn't like.

“It was nice to get away and be in a hotel that had uniqueness to it. The staff made us feel welcome ant were available to answer questions, give us directions, and even lent us an umbrella to go out in the rain.”

  • Beautiful hotel, centrally located.
  • I won't tale breakfast from the hotel restaurant. Too expensive for the quality of the food they serve.

“On my arrival, they gave me a terrible dark dingy small room with mould smell. I requested a better room and only then, they provided me a great room in a very high floor. It was a day and night of difference experience. I did this evaluation on the basis of the second beautiful room.”

  • Rooms are quite small.

“This is a beautiful, old and luxurious hotel. The rooms are small, but this is New York, so that it is to be expected. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is one block away from 5th Avenue and very close to Rockefeller Center. I would recommend it to anyone.”

  • The history and grandness.
  • The suite was not up to today's standards for luxury.

“Loved the location. The suite was old and tired. Old style furniture and amenities. Old style TV etc. Should have been much nicer.”
