I think your videos are very well done! Thank you for the tour of the hotel and the neighborhood! I travel alone and go to the amnh a lot. I am always looking for a nice hotel in Manhattan that is not too expensive. Thank you!
Staying here, a few more days to go. All I can say is you're paying for convenience. THAT's ALL. No service to speak of, room not made up after a day out in the heat and we left our room at 12! You get a standard recorded message when you try to call the Duty manager who don't call back, staff are nonchalant about service requests.... so yes, don't expect the Hyatt service here & you'll be alright. Cos the room is big compared to many NYC hotels. But the King size bed is only slightly wider than a double. Aircon is on a Low all day but better than some hotels here where aircons go on a throttle. And lifts work so well here as compared to the other Hyatt. Btw there's no bed bugs, thank goodness!
Stayed here for a week in July '24 (from the UK). We had a Corner suite on the 30th floor with a view of the Chrysler building. No major issues, except we were expecting a proper pull-out couch bed for our daughter to sleep on, but the couch doesn't do this, so she had to sleep on a rollaway bed. Which was fine as the room was large. But agree the bathroom is a bit cramped for the size of the room - even the largest rooms have the same sized bathroom. Great service on check-in (from Alex) and throughout our stay, whenever we needed anything. Being greeted on entry and when you leave the hotel is a nice touch. Access to the Commodore lounge on 16 is a must-have in my opinion. Enabled us to have a light breakfast whenever we needed it before a busy day of sightseeing. Useful tip: Pershing Square opposite the hotel do a great breakfast at a fraction of the USD45pp that the hotel charge. Another useful tip: You also get USD5 pp/pd to spend at the "Market" in the lobby - handy for grabbing snacks. Hotel location is perfect. Always plenty of cabs around as it's so close to Grand Central. Walking distance to many top sights. Cheap to store cases if you are flying late in the evening - USD6 per item. Sadly, homeless folks and/or drug users are a fairly common sight around the outside of the hotel, but no more so than the rest of NYC. Would stay here again.
Great review. After seeing it, I'd totally consider staying at the Hyatt Grand Central. Thanks for the info on the Commodore Lounge. I would pay $45 for that but not the restaurant.
We stay right around the corner at Andaz 5th Ave. We usually do the Andaz Suite and looking to change it up. This or stick to Andaz? Last question the commodore, so is it free or no? During the beginning of your video you say everything is free minus the wine and beer but later in the video you say there’s a fee?
@@MUFCXI I would personally stick w the Andaz 5th ave 🎉 The commodore lounge comes with a fee per room. Once you get it, everything in the lounge is free except for the alcohol.
@1shottravel if you had to chose between hyatt grand central or Park Central Hotel (on 7th), whicwoone would you prefer? Note: yes. I watched your Park Central Hotel review
Riu Times Square or Riu Manhattan. They have complimentary breakfast in the morning. 😊 Rooms are bigger in Hyatt Grand Central tho, if that’s a factor that’s important for you 👍🏻
The hotel was nice rooms were awesome few minor hiccups like when you check in they hit you with a hold of $$$ until you check out other than that everything turned out wonderful when we stayed for three days and two nights But Sadly be prepared for lots of homeless - pickpockets - psyche cases on either side of the hotel soon as you walk out the front door on either side of the building Almost got pickpocketed twice and partner almost once but didn't have anything in their pocket at the time
I stayed here over Thanksgiving with my family after watching your review, but this hotel is dated. The carpet in the lobby, hallway, and in the room is old. Paint is peeling off the wall in the bathroom. It is not up to the Hyatt standard from my previous experience. I had better experience staying at the Westin Grand Central down the street.
I am not entirely sure if its a buffet for I did not enter the bfast area. In their website however, it does say Breakfast Buffet. "Fuel up for a day of exploring New York City with our breakfast buffet. Featuring classic American breakfast delights. Hours / Monday-Sunday: 6:30AM-12:30PM"
La realtà invece è in primo luogo il personale al check in molto scortese, che non ti fa sentire a tuo agio, e nonostante sia pagato, vengono addebitate strane cifre, tipo 50 dollari al giorno, inoltre il degrado proprio all’entrata dell’hotel, homeless che dormono proprio davanti a questo storico hotel di prestigio. Sono veramente deluso e dispiaciuto per il trattamento ricevuto!
I know right!!! Unfortunately, this is a very common thing for hotels here in Manhattan - NYC. :( One more thing to add to the total expense for the night.
Sadly, resort/destination/facility fees are the most common things in NYC hotels. Don't forget the $3-4 Convention Fee (even though you are not attending any conventions). :(

Yes! I think I find more value in the lounge versus paying day by day for bfast amongst other things 🎉
We stay right around the corner at Andaz 5th Ave. We usually do the Andaz Suite and looking to change it up. This or stick to Andaz?
Last question the commodore, so is it free or no? During the beginning of your video you say everything is free minus the wine and beer but later in the video you say there’s a fee?

The commodore lounge comes with a fee per room. Once you get it, everything in the lounge is free except for the alcohol.
We stayed here for a couple days a during December, it is huge and you can get lost and confused. the daily hold on my card was $200 per day per room.
That’s great!
2 mini fridges ? Odd. Gorgeous lobby. Great review.
I was surprised as well. Maybe the prior guest requested it and they just never took it out. Again, I am not complaining. 😆
@1shottravel if you had to chose between hyatt grand central or Park Central Hotel (on 7th), whicwoone would you prefer?
Note: yes. I watched your Park Central Hotel review
@@MrEljay2005 overall, the Hyatt grand Central Rooms are superior than park central hotel 👍🏻 I would personally choose the Hyatt GC🎉
Would you stay here or the Riu Hotel Times Square with family? Thanks for the videos!
Riu Times Square or Riu Manhattan. They have complimentary breakfast in the morning. 😊
Rooms are bigger in Hyatt Grand Central tho, if that’s a factor that’s important for you 👍🏻
Your videos are well made, edited.
I appreciate that! Thank you! :)
What do you guys think? Would you stay here in your future travels in New York City? 😊
is the sound insulation good?
Yes it is 😊

@@user-qb1xc1kl8o oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. Also, in some cases you can actually request to change rooms upon check in as well.
how is the water pressure?
@@veronicamiller5268 it’s good. I enjoyed my stay here
That hotel makes my dreams come true. And also that is like the biggest hotel in the world
That’s great! 😊
are the beds cozy?
@@veronicamiller5268 beds really cozy as well. I got the king size bed 🎉
great video !
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
So are the lounges and free items only for the Elite Members?
This is available for regular guests as well. I believe it’s around $35-45 per room (not per person) and you get unlimited access to this.
@@1ShotTravel is that 35-45 dollars per room per day?
@@damianmiller8298 yes, per room per day, for the lounge. I recommend this lounge access.
it is NOT grand central station… it IS grand central terminal
Air conditioning?
Yes, they have air conditioning 👍🏻
is that $45 breakfast an all you can eat buffet? good review. .

This hotel has bedbugs on every floor.
interesting! Its a good thing when I checked my bed and mattress, it didn't have one :)
A Destination Fee AND TAXED ????!!!.......DAYLIGHT ROBBERY !!
I know right!!! Unfortunately, this is a very common thing for hotels here in Manhattan - NYC. :( One more thing to add to the total expense for the night.
What a rip of on the all fees more money the government waste 😂😂😂😂 no free water
