    Great location. Walking to Central Park. Helpful and curious staff. In a world of crazy hotel prices in NYC, this one is priced reasonably. Building is a classic NY old building converted to hotel. Elevators are slow. Next door restaurant NiceMatin is a life saver for breakfast. Overall very good and pleasant start

    A clean and comfortable hotel with an exceptionally pleasant and professional staff - everyone! - and immaculate housekeeping, which is hard to come by these days. The towels are in good condition, the bathroom was clean, no weird smells, and no extra furniture like unwanted side chairs cluttering up the space. I would say I am perhaps more discerning than some, and I was super happy with the cleanliness level and responsive staff. Housekeeping deserves recognition! I requested a blanket for the sofa area by answering a text asking if all was okay, and they brought it up without delay. I did not have to call to track it down. This is an organized place. My recommendation would be to turn on the a/c at the hotel breakfast before 8 a.m. because it is just too hot in the morning, very uncomfortable. The service there was also excellent. My other recommendation would be to leave complimentary water for guests. There was a bottle of Evian with a $6.75 price tag. That looked tacky and out of place. Plus who knows how long that bottle had been sitting there. If you're looking for a spot close to the Met it's about a mile walk through Central Park. We booked a king suite through Orbitz. Shuttle (car) service to LGA was $75, cheaper than Uber. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Hope this is helpful.

    It was clean and comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms were surprisingly large for Manhattan. The only thing that was missing was a refrigerator in the room. It would've been nice for keeping water cold or bringing dessert back after dinner.

  • Barry Jun 2026 · via expedia

    However: it is time to update the flaws in the bathroom, caused by the mirror which needs to be shortened by 18" from the bottom. That improvement would make it possible to raise the sink (and the shelf attached to it) and replace the toilet, which is the main bone of contention. I'm on the short side, and I do not need to see below my waist every time I shave. The toilet seat is a quite a drop - It's like trying to potty train adults. Otherwise, would I recommend the Lucerne to anyone wholeheartedly because of the staff, location and convenience near public transportation.

    This was a wonderful hotel is in a quiet area, yet convenient for subway station restaurants and Central Park. They have a spacious room that was perfect for us with the kids. Hotel staff were delighful and we enjoyed our stay. There is no breakfast but plenty of local options nearby and also fridge and microwave in room with space to have breakfast if you prefer. Elevators are old and slow but otherwise everything was great.

    The Lucerne is well maintained by reliable and courteous staff. My double room provided more than ample space for two travelers, more space than other NYC hotels. The restaurant staff was equally gracious. And the convenient location was quiet but also allowed for easy access to both Central Park and Riverfront Park.

    This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Lucerne. We love the location for access to Central Park and Riverside Drive and so many restaurants and with two train station stations nearby it is easy to get anywhere. We were there for six nights and had a suite which made our stay easy and relaxed. The bed was comfortable, and the bedroom was quite quiet as the door to the hallway was off the living room.The staff is helpful, but unfortunately, the service elevator was not working the whole time we were there so we were sharing the guest elevators. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay

    There are only two elevators (which the staff also use when cleaning, etc.), so you often have to wait for 10-15 minutes for an elevator at busy times of day. My husband has Parkinson’s, but the room we were given had no handicap-accessible features. There was one grab bar in the bath, but it was so low that it was useless to him when he tried to take a shower. The toilet is also so low to the ground that it looks like a child’s toilet. When we checked in, the person at the front desk was unfriendly, unsmiling, and uncaring. The only bright spot was the doormen, who were lovely to us and consistently kind to my husband, helping him up and down the stairs from the hotel to the sidewalk. (That’s right — no ramp at all. The hotel is not ADA-compliant.)

    We have stayed at the Lucerne for years when visiting NYC. We like the location on the west side. We enjoy the restaurant adjoining the hotel . The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. The chairs in the room need to be replaced . The front desk personnel could be more welcoming . No recognition that we have stayed there for over 30 years when on holiday . The bell men are very helpful .

    I had a wonderful stay at The Lucerne Hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the subway, making it very easy to get around New York City. It is also only a few blocks from Central Park, which was perfect for morning walks and enjoying the neighborhood. The room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The Upper West Side is a beautiful and convenient area with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and shops nearby.

    Our room was on the 6th floor. We faced east. Room was with 2 full beds. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, pillows were good. shower was great. AC worked great and cooled room well. Could open windows slightly if you desired. Curtains blocked most light to darken room well. Had a window in bathroom and now vent fan. Opening window didn't help with steam on window at all. Also, with window open the couple inches, if you don't close the shower curtain, people from across the street could see into bathroom if they wanted. Closing shower curtain doesn't allow for steam to be able to escape. Elevator door doesnt open completely and you bump into the 6 inches that sticks out thinking it is still opening more. From outside, it is flush. Therefore, door is larger than fixed side of elevator. Nothing they can do about it but i found it annoying.

    I liked the property. I have stayed at the hotel before and had a great experience. Upon arrival the hotel has two elevators one of which was not working. That evening the second elevator quit working requiring all the guests to take the stairs to their rooms. We had to go six floors many had to go as high as 12 floors. The next day they had one elevator working intermittently and although they worked diligently to try and get the elevator’s working normally the issues continued from Thursday evening through Saturday.

    Location was amazing. We were specifically going to the America Museum of Natural History so this was ideal walking distance. I called and they said they would valet my truck. I get there and I can’t valet my truck. Had to park at a garage over on 83rd. Then the elevators both were not working. One completely out of service and the other being manually operated. I get there are emergencies but having to go down 8 flights of stairs with 2 young kids because after 5 8 minutes they can’t send the elevator up and it’s breakfast time, it wasn’t something I had expected to deal with.

    Location was amazing. We were specifically going to the America Museum of Natural History so this was ideal walking distance. I called and they said they would valet my truck. I get there and I can’t valet my truck. Had to park at a garage over on 83rd. Then the elevators both were not working. One completely out of service and the other being manually operated. I get there are emergencies but having to go down 8 flights of stairs with 2 young kids because after 5 8 minutes they can’t send the elevator up and it’s breakfast time, it wasn’t something I had expected to deal with.

    The room was spacious, clean, well-serviced and great value. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only negative is that the hotel only has 2 elevators, one of which is taken out of service at times during the day for the hotel’s needs, and that causes back-up

    Also a quick walk up the street to go to the Museum of Natural History/ Central Park. (Note:There's an umbrella in the room if you forget yours.) Breakfast place on site, but also a lot of great options nearby. Staff was wonderful with a quick check in. We weren't aware of the fact that the hotel had a partnership with a parking lot a couple of streets away (iPark on 143rd West and 83rd St). We parked at the garage across the street (pricey and tight) and were running late so we didn't move our car. Highly recommend- would stay there again!

However, the a/c was loud, and I had to put in earplugs while sleeping. The electrical outlets to charge phones are not conveniently located (not by bedside). Most important for me is that while there is a cafe machine in the room, there is no kettle to boil water for tea which I need every morning. Hope they could provide a kettle upon request in the future.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Lucerne. We stayed in the King Suite for a week. Everything was updated and very comfortable and HUGE. The living room in the king suite came with a pull out couch, which was great as we had two little kids. There is a door separating the living room and bedroom, which we could not tell from the photos and is so helpful when traveling as a family. The kitchenette is small - just a microwave and minifridge. There are no plates or utensils, but we bought plastic ones and dish soap for the bathroom. The cleaning staff and bell/doormen were SO nice and helpful. We love the UWS - fantastic location near the park and museums and easy subway access. Nothing - truly fantastic stay at this hotel!! Especially for a family.

    Superb location that’s convenient to so much on the Upper West Side. The staff could not be more helpful and efficient. Only two downsides that might be deal-breakers for some: 1) The walls are not as soundproof as one hopes for in a hotel room (during our stay, there were noisy children in the adjacent room the first night, and a rather loud late-night talker the next night); 2) give yourself ample time to use the tiny elevators during peak times—they run slow and are used by housekeeping staff with large laundry carts. Otherwise, a nice boutique hotel.

You can't set the heat any lower than 68 degrees and if you completely turn off the heat and open the window, my room never got below 70 and it was below zero outside. I might be the exception, but I can't sleep in a room that's warmer than 65 degrees so I didn't sleep much.

    But everything else was cheap - plastic drinking cups, (2) cardboard coffee cups (2) tiny tissues and the cheapest toilet paper ever. This was in a (junior) Suite. No kettle, no refrigerator but they did provide a tiny one that smelled of take-out food. The thermostat didn't work. We got a suite so we could catch up with friends but it wasn't up to that standard. Love the area. It's fabulous.

    Do not book a Junior Suite. There is nowhere to sit in the “sitting area” and there is no mini fridge. There is nothing “suite” about it. It’s a scam markup for a slightly larger room with no additional amenities. Do not sleep in room 201. It sounds like the boiler room with constant noises at night. Also, there was a long hair in my shower. I’m a solo man. It wasn’t my hair. Honestly, stay away

    A dream of a room with a separate sitting area. And staff, housekeeping, front desk-- excellent. . But nothing tops the porters at the door, as elegant as any you'll find on Park Avenue. Elevating the entire experience. And that goes for the restaurant attached, as well, Nice Matin. Don't miss it for dinner. Beautiful setting, Fabulous meal. Great cocktails. Steak frites was yummy! As were the mussels. We skipped desert and went around the corner on Amsterdam for some phenomenal gelato. Missed lunch and their croque madame. next time! For breakfast you've got the perfect bagel shop catty corner. Grab a bagel and coffee and head to the park, right up 79th street. Which will immediately transport you to every NY movie scene that you love. At Columbus enter the park, continue on at CPW and 80th. Thank you Hotel Lucerne. We'll be back!

    We have stayed at the Lucerne several times since 2002 and will return. We enjoy the neighborhood vibe of the Upper West Side and the Lucerne is conveniently located near Central Park, great restaurants and interesting shopping. Subway stations are conveniently located one block away at the corner of 79th Street and Broadway and at the corner of 81st Street and Central Park West. The hotel itself is clean and quiet and staff is professional and helpful. We are more than pleased with The Lucerne Hotel.

    Very nice hotel, reminds me of a hotel in Paris. Rooms are nice & clean. Good location, away from the hustle & bustle of Times Square, but very conveniently located near the train station. Took just 1 train to get to Broadway & Statue of Liberty. Also only a 5 minute walk to American Museum of Natural History. There’s a 24 hour market right across the street. Will be back & highly recommend!

    location in a safe, convenient, legendary neighborhood. Abundant restaurants and hangouts nearby in any direction for a true New York experience, quite removed from high density tourist hotels. Easy subway access to other areas of the city or airports. The Lucerne is where locals refer friends and family to stay. Not cheap, but a fair value in New York, and far less than other similar venues. If you pay less, you will get less. The Lucerne is quiet, clean, safe, and well maintained. The Lucerne staff are friendly and well trained. Pay the extra for a daily breakfast at Petit Matin which is located in the same building as the Lucerne, and has an entry door next to the elevators. It’s also a great place for dinners, and is a local favorite. Tough to find a better value in a better location than the Lucerne.

    No fans in the rooms and air conditioning would shut off after an hour so we’d wake up extremely hot in the middle of the night. Our TV also kept on turning on and off by itself like it was possessed ao we had to unplug it. That being said, the convenient location around lots of restaurants and by the subway made all the inconveniences worth it.

    This was a favorite of my wife and I, but seems to have gone downhill. We stayed 5 nights and had reservations for another 3 nights a month later (which we cancelled). When we arrived the staff was welcoming - until we got to our room which reeked of smoke, our something! We spoke to the front desk and went to dinner (Nice Matin is a lovely restaurant of the lobby)! After dinner the person at the desk said they had no other rooms and that they had dealt with the odor - which he characterized as “sometimes happens, it’s an old hotel”! They had turned the AC up, and the odor was better but not gone. It never fully dissipated the whole 5 nights. Didn’t appreciate being gaslighted by the staff. Our second stay was at a different hotel down the street - nicer and cheaper! So disappointing!

    Adjoining is the Nice Matin restaurant - top notch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition, all kinds of dining, coffee and cocktail opportunities with 2 blocks, and we felt comfortable on the street, although we were generally back at the hotel by 10:00. The neighborhood is vibrant and busy - and very normal. Subway just a block away to go afield, and lots of Uber available for alternate travel. Walking distance to Museum of Natural History, Central Park, and even the Met Museum.

    The location is surrounded by restaurants with convenient hours, within easy walking distance. It's a 10-minute walk to the Museum of Natural History/Central park, just a 5 minute walk to the 79th St Subway on the red line. It took us about 30-40 mins by metro transit to get downtown to meetings--a fraction of the time it would have taken by car, and a fraction of the cost.

    We stayed in the king suite which was perfect for my partner and I and our baby. The hotel provided a pack and play and had it set up upon arrival. The location is wonderful! On the block is the 1 and within a few blocks multiple bus stops. Easy walk to both riverside and Central Park. The restaurant downstairs was great for breakfast and we stopped in for lunch, both times we didn’t need reservations. Will stay again!

    The Lucerne is a beautiful hotel, the staff, especially the front door staff is amazing. Nice Matin is a great restaurant and just next door which is convenient. My only issue was that the beds are vey high and as a disabled person they were difficult to get into, i asked about a step stool but they did not have one. Other than that the hotel is very clean, the beds are comfortable and I felt safe.

    The staff was friendly and helpful every step during my stay. I felt safe in the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. The room-darkening blinds cut out so much light and traffic noise that I hardly felt I was in a city. While I never ate at the restaurant, it was clear that those who did were enjoying both the food and the ambiance. I think I found my forever hotel in NYC. I will return here again and again, and have already recommended it to others within 48 hours of returning home. Book here! You won’t regret it!!

    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.
