Top Central Ward Hotel Reviews

Arlo Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"Love everything about this hotel! Helpful attentive staff, great room with cool window bench, lively cocktail bar with fun, friendly experienced bartenders, yummy breakfast with fabulous avocado toast and amazing pancakes, and all this set in a great location!"

Hotel Edison Times Square

8/10 Good

"We stayed on the 7th floor and it was definitely not high enough to escape the street noise that never stopped all night long. We had a double queen room for three of us and the room itself was nice. The bathroom is extremely tiny which made it hard for all three of us to get ready in the morning. Overall the room worked for our stay, but the constant street noise would prevent me from staying there again."

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"Stayed for two nights for a show and a concert at MSG. Took the Amtrak in and location could not have been better- super close to both penn station and MSG. Room was small but had a nice view. Bathroom tiny and dated with more of a public restroom toilet. Was disappointed in the lack of a fridge. We love to get food to eat late night and couldn’t do that. For what they charge, seems a fridge should be included!"
