Hotels near St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral

"We had a great experience at the Empire Hotel. A beautiful hotel with lots of amenities. Very clean and quiet. Wonderful staff. I’ll definitely stay there again! "

"Arrived while multiple huge conferences were going on. The front doors were closed for entry and exit the entire time we were there and the elevators rarely worked due to the amount of people using them. Had to walk up and down the stairs to the 15th floor multiple times. "

"Great location! Very quaint hotel with a historic-feel. "

"This is a safe, cost-friendly option for the Upper West Side. We took the Park and Ride from Secaucus to Penn Station and then the 1 train to 96th Street to come out near the entrance. Really easy. This is a no-frills kind of place. The room was clean, as was the bathroom. Fixtures looked like they were straight out of the Ikea catalog. TV worked fine. We were not in NYC to spend much time at the hotel. Central Park is a hop, skip, and a jump away. Plenty of places to eat and grab a slice. We felt safe the whole time we were there. Parking is off site and getting the rate requires you to check in with the staff at the hotel first (we decided on the park and ride into the city, anyway, so it was a moot point for us). Advertised as 3:00 check-in, but we got there after about noon. Our room was not ready, but they did take our bags. We went out and grabbed lunch nearby, came back and we were in our room before 1:00. We wanted to see the Guggenheim and the Met and they were just opposite us on the other side of Central Park. Enjoyed the walk. Would definitely stay there again. "

"The breakfast vouchers were great, the hotel was very clean, it was perfectly located, and it felt very safe."

"The rooms aren’t carpeted and when we walked in there were some obvious blobs of food stains on the flooring, feeling like they hadn’t been mopped well between stays. No amenities like coffee, Netflix, etc. and shower/bath was old and cracked and didn’t drain well. Great location, comfy beds, house keeping came daily while we were out and restocked towels, made beds. Walk next door to grand centrals food court rather than get hotel breakfast. "

"Our trip was an amazing experience thanks to Catherine in the reception counter. Her dedication, attention to details and advise made our trip a wonderful one. Catherine is a great addition to the staff of the Hotel and someone others should emulate."

"The sleep pods are nice and provide a comfortable sleep environment. The bathrooms are clean and the showers as well. Nice place to stay on a budget in NYC. There is plenty of places near by to get food. And it’s right off Central Park which is convenient. The Subway is only a short walk and easy to get to. "

"Clean comfortable and staff was amazing "
