My stay at the Waldorf Astoria was absolutely good, with beautiful rooms and stellar service that made my experience nice. However, the carpet in the room showed signs of age, and there was a slight damp smell in the wardrobe area. Overall, it was a fantastic experience filled with luxurious touches and classic elegance. 🌟🎉

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria was filled with mixed emotions. The hotel is undergoing upgrades, which seems timely, as it was starting to feel a bit aged inside. However, the beautiful architecture and friendly service brought a certain charm that made me feel at home. I really appreciated the location in midtown, though I did face some issues that dampened my experience overall.

I recently stayed at the Waldorf Astoria New York and while the service was perfect with a good old-world charm, I found the hotel itself was quite tired and in need of updates. The room was spacious, but the décor felt worn, and I was disappointed with the lack of included amenities like breakfast and Wi-Fi. Overall, it's a beautifully historic hotel, but my stay was underwhelming due to its outdated facilities and some service hiccups.

Rooms

6.0

My room was large with separate areas for the bathroom and kitchenette, but it definitely showed signs of aging. The fixtures felt outdated and the bathroom was cramped without any modern conveniences.

Service

7.0

While I found the hotel staff polite and attentive, I did experience some issues, like room service delivering cold coffee and housekeeping not returning to clean my room as promised. It's inconsistent given the high expectations.

Location

9.0

The Waldorf is located in an excellent area of midtown, close to a lot of great sites and restaurants, making it convenient for exploring the city. But be cautious if you arrive at Park Avenue, as there's no elevator access from there.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was not included in my rate, and at $46 per person, I was surprised. I expected more inclusivity from a luxury hotel. I was also unhappy with the coffee situation; I expected fresher options.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offers various facilities like room service and laundry, but I found them to be inconsistent in quality and reliability during my stay. Some essentials like coffee machines should really be standard in higher-end accommodations.

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria was a mix of elegance and nostalgia, though I did encounter a few bumps along the way. The beautiful lobby and rich history were impressive, but some aspects of the service and the room left me wanting more. Overall, the prime location and the charming touch of the hotel made it a unique experience, even if it felt a bit worn around the edges.
