15 hotel reviews for Hotel Jumeirah Essex House
The hotel lies absolutely super right on the central park. Times Square and other sights are either on foot or with the subway( just round the corner) easy to reach.

The only downside the breakfast was. We had not booked and then on the first day ate there. Continental were with 25 $ veranschalgt and it includes only bread/ rolls with jams and cereal variations (inclusive coffe... Read more

top location, very clean but no five stars standard of other Jumeira houses
nice rooms, but small for the level of the price and shabby
staff looks not always alert, the nice man at the front desk me with the task of the post/parcel said I should ask at the Fed Ex-oh yes no five stars standard
would rather classic variant Sheraton or NH change
The breakfast is by far not the $50 per person
Location right on the central park, but the location is in new York-Manhattan-completely no matter, as the taxis are not very expensive and the subway is ... Read more

The hotel welcomes you with a beautiful exclusive lobby welcome. The staff, from the doormen, reception Liftboay to the maid service is very friendly and eager to please. Very large hotel; if you on the Central Park side a room bay I recommend a from the 13th floor. Manhattan-site is already from the 6. Floor with a great view! Breakfast is an extra you could rent, we didn't use. Very exclusive classy hotel, very many business traveler, rather less tourists from Europe; "Pretty Woman" in New York again ...

We had a junior suite for a week for 1700 euros, with views of Central Park. We got a suite with a view of the to brick courtyard where only the air conditioning units. To the complaint from us no response. The room was not really clean the bedsheets were hairs, the bathroom was not not in a very good condition. The tiles were dirty, garnish many Aud hanging off. The Stepsel from the sink was broken. We had our room on, "do not disturb 'provided, however the cleaning ladies came every while knock and each time and even a note pushed through ... Read more
