This was an older building converted into a hotel. It's about a two minute walk to the nearest subway station, getting around Manhattan was a breeze. The north entrance into central park is just beyond, leading to several enjoyable walks around the park. The block around the hotel wasn't super busy and felt quiet and laid back. It was very hot when we visited, so a water/ice station would've been nice.

It was a very nice, we stayed for one night and they were nice and friendly!

Not a good experience.. No hot water.. Shared toilet, bathroom.. No drinking water..

I didn’t come to NYC to stay in my room. However, the time I was here I had no problem. It was easy to find. Close to 2 different subway stops/subway lines(within close walking distance). This is a good location close to Central Park. There was a wall unit AC and kept the room nice and cool when it was in the mid 90’s. There was a mini fridge and a microwave for convenience as well.

I loved my stay at Central Park North. My room was very small, but I just needed a roof over my head for a couple of nights. The staff was so unbelievably kind, and made me feel so welcomed. It is in such a great location too.

It was a shared bathroom and there was no indication of that until after I booked it. I was sorely disappointed. However, once I got there I felt better. The bathroom was clean and there usually wasn't someone in there when I needed to use it. The street is super cute and close to a subway entrance, so that was convenient. The room itself was small and a little warm, but it was very nice with amenities like a coffee maker, kettle, hotplate, and anything you might need. Other than the occasional siren or engine revving in the road outside and hard mattress (which I dont particularly mind), it was a very, very nice stay.

Terrific location right near Central Park. Staff was helpful when I needed little things such as a pair of scissors.

Perfect stay!

My stay was decent. My room was clean and convenient. It’s a block away from Central Park and lots of museums and places to shop and eat. The only things I didn’t like were the super squeaky staircases and the bathroom sink and bathtub wouldn’t drain properly, so there were instances where I was simply brushing my teeth and washing my face, and the sink almost ran over. Other than that, the space was accommodating and good for a quick stay in the city if you know you’ll be out and about for much of the time.

The receptionist was extremely rude during our check-in. In my reservation it stated that I booked a double bed room. However, I just had a full side bed. When I was down to the reception to ask for clarification, the receptionist asked me with a rude attitude if I had read what I have booked? I don’t appreciate that type of answer. This type of low skill customer services staff should not be in charge of a hotel check-in duty.

As others have mentioned -- this is a darling historical property, quiet and secure with just enough comforts to be a great value, but the area around the nearest subway station is somewhat fraught.

Quiet, low-key experience with very friendly and accommodating staff!

Average new york

The hotel was not in good condition, nor clean, nor quiet, nor safe. The lock on the room was flimsy and wobbly/loose which was disconcerting in light of the area it was in. I was literally followed by a crackhead on the block walking up to the hotel, and by a different one when I stepped back out. I am also vision-impaired and the hotel was not the least bit accommodating. I ended up not even staying there after seeing the conditions but they refused to refund me, even partially.

The property was clean and neat however, the tiny shared 4th floor shower has something to be desired and it would be nice to have at least a lamp in the room. More important, I did not have any idea that it would be so challenging to check in after the 3-6 o'clock check in time. It took me 8 emails/phone calls to get the instructions for the key code and a late check-in when I asked for them as soon as I booked the hotel. I also had no idea that my room would be on the 4th floor. At 70 years old, it matters where the room is located. Why not put that up front in the description ? I was exhausted from travelling across the continent when I arrived and not ready for 4 steep flights of stairs beginning with the stone stairs to get into the front door.

Great location with proximity to Central Park and calm street in a neighbourhood with beutiful houses and more ’humane’ than south Manhattan

There were 3 of us, and we felt right at home! Everything was clean, staff was extremely friendly and informative. The location is great if you love good food. And it’s super close to Central Park! Would recommend!

Totally dissatisfied

The place fares terrible in terms of amenities they ought to provide. Bring your own water, bath slippers. The towels are old and short.

The front desk was very kind and quickly responded to my questions! Easy to get to and easy to travel to other places.

Close to the subway, good price, but the neighborhood it’s not nice a lot of homeless near the street.

Staff was great, super helpful and accommodating. Don't stay here expecting a Marriott hotel experience. It's an old building with small rooms and a distinctive smell, and you can certainly hear others through the walls. One bathroom on each floor, some nicer than others (the one on my floor was tiny and not the nicest, although the staff do their best to keep it clean at least). Internet provided is decent but pretty slow at night when more people were using it. There's a reason why this is a cheaper option, it's like something between a hostel and a hotel. That said, if you're looking just for a bed to sleep on in a convenient area by Central Park and easily accessible by subway, this is a good option.

Very kind and communicative

Thank you for easy access after hours! Polite front staff.

Great place! Very clean!!

They need to let you know that there is no elevator .i walked up 3 flights of stairs

Easy check in and check out process and surprisingly spacious room! Well stocked kitchen supplies for cooking, coffee, etc. Happy with the clean room and the shared bathrooms were very well maintained, we had no problems

Great value for money, given the competitive prices for NYC. The room was in good condition and the location was superb for our purposes. The only two small downsides were that the mattress was quite hard and the shared shower was perhaps not the cleanest. It’s more of a guesthouse than a boutique hotel, but we would stay here again.

This is a good place to stay if you are visiting on a budget. The room was very clean and spacious and the staff were excellent. We were allowed to check in early and were offered a place to temporarily store our luggage after check out. The bathroom and shower are small and shared with the other guest, however, they were always available during my stay. The surrounding area is relatively quiet but I would still recommend wearing earplugs to sleep since the wooden floors and guests conversations are audible from the room.

Lovely

We really enjoyed our stay at The Central Park North. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel was perfectly located - close enough to everything with a 20 minute metro ride at most. Would definitely stay again next time we visit NYC.

Very friendly staff who always said hello and made sure we were ok. Staff helped us to navigate around the city as the subway system is very confusing if it's your first time around. Cleaning staff are good and will change your towels and bedsheets whenever you want. Room comes with air con, a fridge, coffee machine and drawers. Only downside was a shared bathroom with your entire floor. Hotel is located very close to a Subway (Sandwich shop and underground trains), Supermarket, Take Away, Dunkin Donuts and the northern side of Central Park Overall a very nice place to stay. We would definitely go back there again
