rasroxo3367 from Brazil stayed here on 29th July 2007
It would be a good idea to spray the hostel or something. There were tons of cockroaches all around the room.. climbing our luggage, the walls, etc.. it was not comfortable to try to kill them everyday. Everything else was pretty good! Congratulations to the breakfast!

Nivethika from Australia stayed here on 26th July 2007
the staff were unavailable most of the time, some didnt even speak english which is inappropriate when running a hostel. it is completely overpriced for the lack of facilities it offers. the only good thing about this hostel was the breakfast. thoroughly disappointed. cockroaches everywhere.

vegas4112 from Sweden stayed here on 08th July 2007
It was nice, though the triple beds had a very bad mattress below, but we got some sleep finally. I wouldnt recommend this if you're allerigc cause there seemed to be some mold in the roof of our room. Otherwise it was nice, the cockroaches was friendly.. no really there was none, just a small bug in the room.. :)   Read Owner Comments

Tomas from Czech Republic stayed here on 20th June 2007
Great location, friendly personnel. Slightly flaken off, mold in bathroom, but very clean otherwise.

Monique from Belgium stayed here on 24th June 2007
I missed the contact with other people and the reason is that there is no place where you can meet the others. In the evening when you come home you are oblied to stay in your room.

ren_2001 from England stayed here on 15th June 2007
This is a lovely hostel, however for those travelling on their own and wanting to meet fellow travellers to go out with and party in NYC, then this isn't the place to come. The common area (i.e. kitchen) is small, and a number of the rooms are occupied by families and long term residents, so the traveller atmosphere is lost.

No alarm clock so I used my cell phone. Room was clean but shared bathroom wasn't too clean, I don't think the shower was cleaned while I was there. I was there for 2 nights, 3 days :S     Matthew from Australia stayed here on 14th May 2007 A bar would be good but otherwise fine. Stay here!

littleprince1977 from USA stayed here on 17th May 2007
For a single traveller (shared bath 149.00usd) to NYC there are much better (cheaper) options...YMCA WestSide. Wireless internet only works in the lobby (not in rm. 707) The room is the size of a large walk-in closet...but I didn't complain since I was only there two nights but I don't recommend and I wouldn't stay here again. But location is only 1/2 block from Time Sq. area and 1/2 blk to two different subway stations. So you step out the door and you are in the middle of things which is good. Clean but very threadbare with poor renovation for the cheaper rooms...Mostly quiet.    

Cynthia from USA stayed here on 01st May 2007
I stayed for 2 night there...gotta say... I guess that for that price in NY ..it's ok but still don't expect much as the single room I stayed in was really small, ugly and the TV didn't work. Anyways, I didn 't have time to complain or think about it as location was great and I only used it to sleep a few hours.    


singostarr3882 from Ireland stayed here on 01st May 2007
The room was tiny, but that seems to be the style in New York.. It was clean, location was magic & the staff were friendly..    

jeremy_hhh from Singapore stayed here on 10th March 2007
the room was really really tiny for the price, but i guess being on the theater district location makes up for it

marquis_joan4051 from England stayed here on 29th July 2007
We really couldn't fault The Wolcott. A truly perfect position to be, right in the middle of whichever part of Manhatten we wanted to access.It's no frills,but everything you might need. We found it very comfortable.The price is very good. Staff were helpful, coffee/tea and muffin for breakfast........ everything we wanted for a very pleasant few days away.    

vesnazajc4346 from Slovenia stayed here on 29th July 2007
I will NEVER book through Hostelworld again, as u r the only page that charges 10% deposit and mislead customers that this is deposit for the accomodation instead as money paid directly to u. And believe me that i will tell it to everyone i know. Vesna    

lxsaldivia2442 from Chile stayed here on 12th June 2007
First I will like to comment here our experience with Hostelworld, as this is the first opportunity to write to "somebody". When we wanted to recornfirm our hotel reservations, done a month before, the day before of our arrival, the answer from the hotel was they have not received them and they were sold out for the next day, so we should contact Hostelworld in order to receive a solution. The res.nbr. corresponds to Hostelworld and not Wolcott Hotel. We could not find any number or customer service in the web page that we can ask, so we call again the hotel and finally they made us a new reservation. Upon our arrival they say that the reservation request arrived that morning, VERY STRESSFUL. The hotel was OK according with our expectations. Our only comment can be we had a noisy first night, with door slams, loud voices, etc. But after we change room and floor, everyting was OK. The hallway of the 8th floor had a very bad smell, seems like somebody cooks in one of the rooms.    

Paul from England stayed here on 13th May 2007

Paul from England stayed here on 26th May 2007

The location is excellent. 5 minute walk to Penn Station. The hotel appeared really clean.Our room was perfect, no problems with anything. Staff were excellent. Would stay there again and would recommend this hotel to a friend.    

gmurraycavanagh913 from Ireland stayed here on 22nd March 2007
Really great location and the most reasonably priced hotel by far. I would most definitely reccommend the Wolcott!

Benboo from USA stayed here on 07th May 2007
I have to say I was quite perturbed when I was told upon arrival that I would actually be staying six blocks away in another building. This is false advertisement, I picked this hostel solely because of its location within the theatre district.    

sparkyabroad20006990 from South Africa stayed here on 07th May 2007
never got cleaned in thge 4 days i was there, moved after i had paid for a taxi to take me up town. If i´d known in adance i could have walked. BUt that worked to my advantage in the end. No staff to be seen to ask questions and the bathroom was dirty.
