The New Yorker A Wyndham Hotel

Laura Attick

Overall had a really memorable experience. The location is absolutely perfect, right by Penn Station, which made getting around the city super easy. You’re basically in the heart of Manhattan, which is ideal whether you're sightseeing, shopping, or just exploring. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially the doorman an Italian New Yorker straight out of a movie. As someone visiting from England, it felt a bit surreal in the best way possible. He added a really authentic, almost cinematic vibe to the experience! The hotel itself has loads of character and history, which is part of the charm. You can’t help but think about all the famous people who have stayed there over the years—it definitely adds to the cool factor. That said, the rooms are quite dated and could use a bit of TLC (some new furnishings and a refresh wouldn’t go amiss). They’re clean and functional, but don’t expect modern luxury. In short: amazing location, friendly staff, and a unique, nostalgic atmosphere. If you're into history and classic NYC vibes, it's a great place to stay.

This hotel is truly a gem, offering a time capsule experience that transports you back to the Art Deco era. I absolutely adored this quaint yet luxurious property, especially when appreciating it for what it was and what it has become. I was intrigued to learn that Nikola Tesla had lived here for ten years, prompting me to seek out his room. I was pleasantly surprised to find informative plaques and a gold sign on the door. The hotel itself is vast, and I had no issues with either check-in or check-out. My stay was seamless, and the free ice dispenser in the hallway was a much-appreciated bonus. Outstanding location near Penn and the subway.

Very cool historic hotel 2 blocks from Penn Station and very close to several subway lines. Great bagel shops across the street, and lots of restaurants (from inexpensive but great tacos or pizza to nicer sit-down places) within a few blocks. And a short walk to Times Square and all the theaters. Rooms were very small (at least the regular Queen room) but good use of space, including a nice bathroom, closet, and plenty of drawers. Bed was comfortable, room quiet, and windows open for fresh air. As a bonus, very fast elevators and lots of them. I also appreciated the security, including the need to show a hotel key card to get access to the elevators. There are just a few negatives which I must mention, and which pushes the hotel to 4* instead of 5*. First, they need more staff at the registration desk during busy times, with long waits to check in and check out. And second, charging $5 per bag for bag check is unreasonable, and the first time I've ever paid for bag check (even worse since I end up not tipping due to the bag fee so the workers get screwed). And it is mentioned when booking, but don't miss the $40 per night "resort" fee, which they should just include in the rate and raise the rate $40. Oh, and be sure take 10 minutes to go down to the basement, where they have some cool exhibits on the very interesting history of the hotel.

I stayed at The New Yorker Hotel by Lotte for 3 days, and overall, it was a pleasant stay with a wonderful view from the room window. The hotel’s location is excellent, right next to Penn Station, making it very convenient for transportation, sightseeing, and exploring nearby attractions. However, I would like to share a few points for future guests: The room I was given was quite small compared to expectations. Basic amenities like a coffee machine with complimentary coffee items, bottled water, and a small fridge were not provided in my room, so I recommend double-checking these details when booking through Booking.com or any other platform. There was no lock on the toilet door, which could be improved for better comfort. Apart from these minor issues, my overall experience was good, and I would still recommend this hotel, especially for its prime location, easy access to Penn Station, and beautiful views.

My husband and I stayed at the New Yorker for one night and we really enjoyed it! Mohammed was incredibly helpful and polite at the front desk and even called to check on our satisfaction with the rook once we were up there. The rooms are a modest size, same with the bathroom and shower. Clean sheets on the best and the TV worked just fine. This hotel is just a short walk from Times Square, making it great for a tourist like me!
