Top Midtown Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Grand Central New York

Hyatt Grand Central New York

8/10 Good
"The hotel is attached to Grand Central Station which made it extremely convenient to use public transit. Everything appeared to be clean and the room size wasn’t too small for our family of 4. We stayed 4 nights and appreciated the comfortable beds after a long day of walking around the city. It would be better if the lobby was cozier and the lights were on outside the hotel entrance. Not sure why all the lights were off. The bathroom was tiny and the depth of the sink was shallow so every time I went to wash my face, the water spilled over onto the floor."
