Quote: Luxury at a relatively affordable price. Staff treated us like royalty. Prewar charm and very quiet -- a rarity in New York City. A half block from Central Park, across the street from the History Museum and wonderful restaurants a short walk away.... Read the full Excelsior Hotel review

Quote: What a surprise! When I made the reservation for our stay all i was looking for was a hotel that was located in a part of the city that was not touristy. The Excelsior was charming with an Old World feeling. The rooms were large and well laid out.... Read the full Excelsior Hotel review

Great Location, Nice Rooms, O.K. Staff

  • February 3, 2011
Quote: The Excelsior's location on the Upper West Side, half a block from Central Park and across the street from the Museum of Natural History, is superb. The subway is also half a block away - making it cheap, fast and, once you learn the system, easy to... Read the full Excelsior Hotel review

Makes me wonder....

Quote: I thought when I booked the room, it would come with two full-size beds as its web site shows. The room had two 'youth beds' that were narrow and somewhat long. That was a disappointment. The shower drain was plugged and the showerhead leaked. The... Read the full Excelsior Hotel review

  • December 5, 2009
Quote: Enjoyed the location overlooking the Natural History Museum and its park and just off Central Park. It's a ride to theatre, but we liked being out of all the midtown hustle. Lovely old hotel, well maintained. Good service from desk staff. Large... Read the full Excelsior Hotel review

A good buy

Quote: This hotel had few frills but was a good choice for a week's stay in New York. The building is old, but my room and bath had been modernized and were quite comfortable. Didn't try the breakfast. Close to good restaurants on Columbus and Amsterdam.... Read the full Excelsior Hotel review
