Beautiful hotel, clean, and great location with perfect access to subways. We had a room for my husband and me, and a room for our 3 teenage kids and it suited our needs perfectly. Was there for a HYROX race and the room was comfortable and nice and I was well rested for the races.

Our room on the 34th floor was quiet and clean. Within walking distance of multiple sites and next door to Grand Central Station. Hotel was very accommodating with early and late check out requests. All I had to do was text to get late check out. They hold your luggage too for only $4. Highly recommend.

I have stayed at this property previously and have not had major issues until my most recent stay. I arrived to check into the Hyatt Grand Central for one night after my flight was delayed at 2am. After waiting to be seen by the concierge when there was nobody else waiting to check in, the rude concierge ASSIGNED ME A ROOM AT 2am OCCUPIED BY SOMEONE ELSE. As a solo female traveler, this was obviously incredibly unsafe to myself and whoever was assigned the room. There was no other available rooms at the hotel allegedly and the manager kept me waiting 40 minutes for one to be available. I asked for a refund immediately but the manager insisted they would check other properties in the area. I was offered a free buffet, which was obviously insufficient for putting me in such a dangerous and inconvenient situation. Hotel management was ineffective and unhelpful as was everyone who I encountered during this unfortunate stay. When I finally got a room, the electrical panel on the light switch was broken and I was unable to turn off the main light for the room. Because it was already 3am and the hotel was clearly unacquaintely staffed nor briefed on customer safety protocol, I did not trust that this would be fixed in a safe or efficient manner. I ended up having to sleep with the bright lights on all night (photo at 3am attached) I have not heard from management or staff once since this egregious breach in security and am shocked at how little this property cares about the safety or service for their customers.

Never again! Currently staying here and it’s only day 1 of 4. Staff said they’ll text us when room is ready, they never did. Staff treat you like you’re staying for free. The room is so small!

Never again! Currently staying here and it’s only day 1 of 4. Staff said they’ll text us when room is ready, they never did. Staff treat you like you’re staying for free. The room is so small! Paid extra for a city view and if you stand at the window on your tippy toes, head against the glass, at angle, you’ll get a tiny slice of “city view” being the street. The bathroom in the room is so old! The toilet was gross to even use. The shower missing a drain plug. They didn’t even leave a complementary bottle of water in the room! I’ve never stayed in a hotel that doesn’t leave a bottle or 2 Yet they charge a daily resort fee, for what? NEVER EVER AGAIN!! People talk about location being great, it’s nyc!! No matter where you stay the location is great. Read less

My repeat stay in this hotel. Fantastic location in central Manhattan next to Grand Central Station entrance. Very helpful reception staff. Both the times I have stayed in a suite this time in a corner suite. Both the times I have found the suite prices almost like standard or deluxe rooms of other hotels in the vicinity. Rooms are very spacious . Seperate living and bed room. Bathrooms could have been a little bigger . Rooms beds are comfortable Air-conditioning very efficient. Service is very quick and efficient. You have a shop in the lobby level which sells water , some food itmes , snacks etc. Hotel breakfast is buffet type and good spread . Lot of lifts . Waiting time is less. Concierge does not deliver your luggage to room. This facility I think the hotel can add in future. Ample taxis always outside your hotel . Ample food choice around. Will definitely stay again.
