Still Charming - fabulous stay!
The hotel staff is gracious and attentive, and especially welcoming in the lounge, with its private-club vibe as the place for continental breakfast and afternoon snacks. The decor is classy but ready to be refreshed. Nevertheless, housekeeping is top-notch and maintains the hotel's charm and appeal

No restaurant except the touristy loud Monkey which is horrible. No nice bar, no mini bar, & no room service. Had to go outside hotel to have a drink or nice meal.
The mattress was saggy- if you don’t have a great back, you will be in pain.
TV in cabinet with doors that are in the way when open. No way to charge a phone close to the bed. A once elegant hotel that’s in disrepair.
Needs an entire renovation.

Hotel Elysee was great place to stay to be close to Rock Center and also be able to get up to East side. Quiet and clean. Rooms plenty big enough. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was super at front desk and door. Really great location to walk alot of places easily - from Park Ave to Central Park to Rock Center and 5th Avenue. Highly recommend. Black Fox coffee location on street avenue is great also for early morning java.

The Elysée is an old hotel that hasn't kept itself up enough to be charming. I had to have lights on to see around the room during daytime. To me it was depressing. The only good part was the staff, they were very welcoming. But I wouldn't recommend it or stay there again

Hotel looks good but is old. You can smell a very old scent in the room and in the hallway. And there are not many outlets to plug things in, especially by the bed. If you want to use the refrigerator, you shoul ask to bring it. The refrigerator in the room does not work and it is dirty. But the hotel is located in the shopping area and near central park.

Subtly high end. Room was swank and beautiful. Breakfast room was great way to start the day with super cappuccino machine. Real deal! And The Monkey Bar restaurant in the hotel is not to be missed. A historic place that oozed stories of famed diners and great service and delicious food. Pricey yet worth every penny

This is my second time staying here. What a lovely, relaxing, convenient place to stay. Walking distance from Grand Central Station. Great price. I will continue to stay at this hotel when I need to get away!
