We recently tired to stay at this hotel and despite a confirmed reservation they sold our room. We had even arrived at noon to be told that check in was 3, leave our luggage and then come back - which we did at 5:30. We were then told that there was no room, given another hotel "who knew that we... More

“Hugely overpriced for the quality offered”

First, the positive side of the Park 79 Hotel: location. On W79th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam, very near the Museum of Natural History, this hotel is very conveniently located on the Upper West Side. You can walk to Lincoln Center, to cinema complexes, through Central Park, the subway is only two blocks away etc. etc. Some staff are genial... More

Old style boutique hotel, more like smaller European hotels, but room decent size.No frill except flat screen tv, hbo and wifi included. Bathroom was new and clean but very tiny. There was a column in the middle of room in front of tub/ shower. If you have difficulty with movement would be hard to get in and out of.good location... More

“Off the Beaten Tourist Path”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Love this little boutique hotel on the Upper West Side. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square, I would recommend the Park 79 Hotel. Just steps from The Museum of Natural History and Central Park and just a block away from several subway stations.

“Great value for a clean hotel on the UWS”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

Let me start by saying I didn't spend much time in my room. After all, NYC is about being on the go, not holing-up in a room. I have friends in that 'hood, so we relaxed at theirs and went out on the town. The room was REALLY small and the bathroom was reminiscent of an airplane lavatory (in size).... More

Close to the subway we needed for visiting family, and to the restaurants and museum we wanted to visit. A little pricey for the older accommodations, but elegant, and what a location! The doorman helped us snag a parking spot on the street the first night and said he'd look after it through the night. Parked a couple blocks up... More

Thank you, dear family from Scotland, For your very positive review. We are delighted that your New York City family holiday was so successful. Guests often keep paper or vinyl plates to use in the microwave. We have so small an elevator--as you know--that we must keep some services to a minimum, and not have to move even more supplies...
