Very very basic hotel with absolutely no amenities, no ice machine, no coffee pot, refrigerator is old and doesn’t work very well, no microwave, elevators are old, dirty carpet in the floors and not well maintained, stains on carpet next to bed, Mirror in bathroom held on wall with mailing tape, no glasses or cups provided in rooms, no soda or snack machines, no bar, no restaurant. Many nicer hotels in area for the same price. Will not return!

The staff was very nice and helpful, they even upgraded our room upon check in. The hotel is pretty clean, however it could use a little updating, as the decor in the rooms were dated and the carpets/couch were stained. Overall we enjoyed our stay, it was in a convenient location and the price wasn't too bad for the location.

Spooky, entering the lobby of The Royalton was a ghost town. Before Covid the Royalton was the place to be seen. Today, the room was totally outdated and the stains on the carpet made me a little nervous. The staff appeared to be on the same frequency, low energy and scripted. Let's not forget there were no cable channels available, just local stations.

DONT EVER GO THERE. It’s a complete rip off!! Paying more than 500 usd per night for a room at a hotel that has not touched its interior for more than 30 years, do not even serve a cup of coffee, have a waterglass in the room, have zero sound isolation (like you are literally standing on the street) is a joke!! The hotel looks like it is closed down for business. Sharing its name with another hotel seems to be the scam they use to attract their new guests. I doubt anyone ever comes back - until maybe 30 years after - hoping/expecting the place to have been through a refurbishment and serious upgrade.

I stayed at at the Royalton for a work trip, so the location to my office was the biggest pro. Aside from that the staff were very friendly and helpful, I would give them 5 stars. This property is very tired and is in desperate need of an update. The rooms did not feel clean, I found a wad of hair in my shower and woke up with a clogged head every morning due to the HVAC. I would stay somewhere else if you can. The lobby is beautiful but nothing is open, they have the facilities for a bar and restaurant but have neither functioning.

Do not book at this hotel. While the location is great, there are other hotels close by that are updated, occupied by a food and bev vendor, and do give “Homicide New York” vibes. This place was creepy and needs to be remodeled terribly. I don’t understand how it’s still operating. The pictures look nothing like the actual hotel. The Royalton is not very royal.

Staff was nice but I was very disappointed overall. No fridge or even a glass in the room. No artwork on the walls and very bland. I found the room quite depressing to be honest. The room was huge but it reminded me of a therapist’s office. On the positive, the bed was very comfortable.
There was a leak in the ceiling - not just a drip but a gush. Someone must have left the water running on in the room above me. I had to switch out rooms. Needless to say I will not be staying at this location again. I’ve stayed at the Royalton on park many times but this hotel shares only the name itself.

This hotel is well located, but it is dated, not well kept, our room was extremely small, the shower has sparkling mirrors, the desk was shaby, the mattress had no support. At night, extremely loud noises from malfunctioning equipment outside the window made it very difficult to sleep. We called the front desk, and eventually they solved the problem. This was a bad experience, not worth the price except for location.

Did not use the pool or the gym so I can’t speak to the conditions. The property has a charming, elegant feel upon first entering. The front desk staff was very courteous. After that it goes downhill. The first room I was assigned was dismal. There were massive stains on the sofa, a tear in the window treatments, cracks in the bathtub, and the dresser was falling apart. I was given another room that was only slightly better. Had I the mental energy to cancel the entire stay, fight for a refund and find a more appropriate property I would have. The bed was comfortable and clean. The property advertised a bar. There was no bar. Very little sign of life besides the hotel staff. The elevator doors were concerning. It was merely a place to sleep. A trusted friend recommended this place and was very disappointed to hear about the decline of the property.

I had a great experience at the Royalton Hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, always willing to assist whenever needed. The location is excellent, it’s within walking distance to Times Square, which makes exploring the area very convenient.

The room is very good, clean, and comfortable. The bed deserves a special mention because it’s genuinely comfortable, which is something that can be hard to find in many hotels. The bathroom is also very good and well maintained.

Another positive point is that I didn’t have any issues with extra charges, which unfortunately happens in some hotels. The elevator also worked perfectly during my entire stay, which is great since that can sometimes be a problem in other places.

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on a future trip.

Room was not a great as expected, used tissue was left from previous guest behind curtain was not cleaned before we arrived.
Bathroom was ok shower does not drain water properly. You had to be very careful turning the bathroom sink knobs when turning on water because if you don’t your whole bathroom will be covered with water due to the pressure and design of the sink. We had a few incidents turning the knob wrong way and had water all over the floor within seconds. Bed was comfortable. There is a mini fridge in the room but takes a while before cooling down water or anything you place in the fridge.
