It was excellent – Posted Feb 15, 2007

45 year old male with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

We loved the Waldorf Astoria, we stayed there for four days in February, 2007.

Check-in was instant. Our two children were offered crayons and coloring books, and without asking, we were given a significant room upgrade. The rooms were clean, spacious, old fashioned in a very endearing way, with plenty of towels, big beds, postcards, chairs etc.

Breakfast was excellent, though busy, and the pancakes we had, large, with generous and extra maple syrup. The buffet was good, too. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The hotel enjoys an excellent location, and had a real art deco feel about it. The main areas are superbly historic, and a joy to walk through.

We were sad to leave this historic hotel. And again, check out was fast and easy.

Would we stay there again? Definitely.

Not enough people working the front desk at 2:15pm on a Monday. Otherwise, great service from housekeeping to room service. Good food! Had a suite which was nice. Bathroom could use some work...paint was peeling in multiple places. The bed was...

It's a decent value – Posted Jan 29, 2007

40 year old male with a luxury budget, traveling for business

The Waldorf is a beautiful hotel, but the rooms are just OK.

The location is very convenient and the prices, though pretty high, are actually a decent value compared to other high-end NY city hotels.

The lobby is beautiful and it is really fun to stay in such a historic landmark, but it isn't the luxurious destination it must've been 50 years ago.

Trading on its reputation – Posted Jan 28, 2007

44 year old male with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and I was expecting "the Waldorf experience": Gershwin, the Russian Tea Room, Guys & Dolls, notice the trend, all are closed.

Not to say the Waldorf should be closed, but it is in desperate need of a renovation. We did have a terrific view of the Chrysler building and a huge room, we just wish it hadn't felt so dated.

Okay

Great maid service. Rooms too small and outdated for the money. We got there late due to flight delays and believe our rooms had been given away. Ended up in a small smoking room that smelled bad. Believe we got downgraded even though we had...
