Great hotel in a great location

The hotel was extremely clean, staff were friendly and helpful and the location couldnt be beat. Lots of great restaurants around, access to Central Park, shops, bank machine, pharmacy. Really great neighbourhood as base for holiday as it was laid back with less bustle but easy to get to sites...

Lovely old style hotel

Loved the old world style and furnishings of this hotel. Our room was large with a very comfortable bed. Shower was huge. Air conditioning unit in the room was noisier than we were used to. We had a great view from our room. We were a stones throw from the tube station. Lots of great places to eat within a short walking distance. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly.

Great staff and great location

The entire staff was excellent at every interaction. The location is a short walk from the subway and Central Park. Our only issues were with the mattresses and the electrical outlets. The mattresses caused aches, and the outlets were very loose, making it difficult to keep anything plugged in, especially phone or watch charging blocks.

Tip top service

From the gentleman opening the doors, to the front desk staff to housekeeping- the Lucerne staff are warm, welcoming and professional. Incredibly comfortable bags and attentive service keeps me coming back and recommending them to anyone visiting the city.

Needs update.

The hotel needs current chargers for tech, a microwave and a small fridge for the price. Even Best Western has this. And the elevators are slow and need updating for the price.

Fantastic stay

My family and I had a great stay here! Fantastic location in the Upper West Side, which we decided was the best neighborhood in the city, especially with it's close location to Central Park. Everyone at this hotel was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. If I'm back in New York, I will happily stay here again.
