Independent hotels in Astoria, New York

"Everything clicked during my stay! The room was clean and spacious. Looked brand new; comfortable bed. My husband loved the location [Starbucks and other casual places nearby}. Felt very safe. Great staff. Minor downside: The bathroom was awkwardly positioned and might have been a former closet. Also, not a fan of having to call to get ice brought to room. "

"Do not park in this area. Uber is best. "

"Great location. Easy access to several subway lines. Elevator access was slow. Being on 5th floor made the taking the stairs easy. Utilized the coin operated laundry machines."

"This historic landmark hotel is located very close to Penn Station and metro stops making it very convenient for getting around. The room was very clean and updated while keeping an art deco feel. The beds were comfortable and staff stationed in the lobby were polite and helpful while adding a layer of security monitoring access to the elevators. The Tick Tock Diner with access into the hotel lobby is open 24/7 as is the small museum in the hotel lower level. After we checked out, they were able to hold our bags while we got in one more day of sightseeing before our Amtrak departure that evening. "

"First time staying at a POD hotel and we had a great experience. The rooms were clean and staff were friendly and helpful. I will be booking with the POD hotel again for future stays!"

"Brilliant hotel, easy to grab a basic, light breakfast before heading out in the morning! Room was lovely, it was just that the bathroom taps were in need of fixing as they weren't properly fixed to the sink, so you had to hold them in place whilst turning the tap. Apart from this small detail, the room was at no fault, and the hotel staff were very friendly and made my short stay feel very warm and welcomed. If I ever return to NYC, I will be going back to this hotel."

"Excellent "

"You will have a hard time finding somewhere better to stay than Grand Central Hyatt. You are literally sleeping above Grand Central terminal and next door to the Chrysler building. "
