Excellent location, clean, quiet
We had fast check in and check out, very clean rooms, safe location near subways, UWS restaurants and Central Park. Our room was on the 12th floor facing Margaret Mead Park behind The Natural History Museum, which had a nice view of the city. I will definitely stay here next time I'm in NYC. We had a twin room, which was small but still bigger than many others I've had in NYC. My only small problem was that the young hotel clerks did not know a lot about how the subway schedule or about NYC in general; otherwise, they were very helpful.

Great location away from the rush
Went for the New York City Triathlon and chose the hotel sight unseen. Original room had a problem with air conditioner. We were 4 people in the room and it was very uncomfortable. Took very long to finally move us to a room which out of the blue showed up. This was the only problem at this hotel. Rooms are very spacious and very clean. Doorman was very helpful with directions and suggestions on where to eat. I would stay here again in a minute.

Excellent Service and Great Hotel
It was great. The doorman helped me find a spot so I did not pay for parking and the hotel let me check in an hour early to get ready for a wedding. The rooms were clean and the location was perfect.

Excelsior Hotel and Area
I booked this hotel based solely on the previous reviews I had read and was not disappointed. A friend and I stayed here not really being familiar with the location and were pleasantly surprised to find it was located directly across the street from the Museum of Natural Science and close to Central Park. The room was small with two twin beds but was clean as was the bathroom. We were only there for one night but found the staff that we interacted with to be polite and helpful. We ate breakfast at EJs as another reviewer had recommended and were not disappointed! Would also recommend eating at Sarabeth's and Nonna's in the neighborhood. Overall we had a great time in NY and would recommend the Excelsior Hotel. We would stay there again in the future.

Short walk from hotel
We were able to park for about 24 hours in the Museum of Natural History's underground parking garage for about $26 - you need to show your parking stub at the time of checkout to get a sticker but it saved us about $12! Well worth it.

Marvelous location for a Family
We were upgraded to a suite for our family of 4 which proved to make the stay in this hotel even better. The hotel is located across from the park that surrounds the Museum of Natural History so this was a wonderful view to take in every day. Left one-half block away is Central Park with a playground at its entrance as well as an easy walk to the MET and the rest of Museum row.

To Starbucks for a variety of coffees to begin our day.Columbus street had some lovely lunch and dinner places not too much for breakfast though except for weekend brunches. Amsterdam street should be explored although we didn't do that regretfully.

Great for all age ranges!
We were upgraded to a 1-bedroom suite which was very helpful with two children and two adults! This is a very kid-friendly neighbourhood; close to Central Park (lots of play areas) and across the street from the Museum of Natural History; subway station is a block away and we walked through the park -- played in Belvadere Castle -- to get to The Met Museum of Art. Never did find a good cheap breakfast place close by; this hotel would be perfect if it had a good, cheap breakfast. Cab rides are under well under $10 from Times Square/MoMA/5th Ave shopping and Lincoln Center is a long but doable walk away. We were walking in this neighbourhood quite late at night and felt very safe. Room was great; quiet with windows closed and air-conditioning worked like a dream (and was programmable!).

First Trip to NYC!
Hotel is in a great location between Central Park West and Columbus. Cental Park was just a block away and is a beautiful park...better than a botanical garden and great waling paths! Location is a wonderful upper westside neighborhood with great restaurants and brownstones. We had a queen bed with an extra sitting area including a pull out couch so was a much bigger space than expected. Bath was small but very clean and quaint with all tile walls and nice touches amd great water pressure in the shower! Room did not have a view but after sightseeing all day did not matter! Staff was efficient but not that friendly...did not make you feel welcome or give you any details about the hotel or the neighborhood. Loved NYC!

This is a good, decent sized hotel.
The hotel is situated directly across the from the Museum of Natural History and you can use their parking. Be sure to get it validated by the hotel. The hotel suited our needs which was a place to lay our heads. We hardly stayed in our room because we were having lots of fun in Manhattan which was a quick subway ride. The subway is nearby. Very convenient. The tour bus was nearby too. Breakfast and lunch was all within 1 block. There is no kitchen in the hotel. I got this hotel for the low price and away from all the city noise.
