NYC Empire Apartments is a smoke-free aparthotel in New York offering ten air-conditioned units designed for extended or independent-style stays. Each accommodation includes a kitchenette equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and cookware, dishes, and utensils, allowing guests to prepare their own meals rather than relying solely on outside dining. Units also come with a Smart TV featuring digital channels and Netflix, an espresso maker, a hair dryer, complimentary toiletries, and an iron and ironing board. On-site services support a hands-off stay, including concierge assistance, dry cleaning and laundry facilities, express check-out, tour and ticket assistance, and an ATM/banking service.

Best for
This property suits travelers who want apartment-style independence in New York, such as small groups or families who value a kitchenette, in-unit laundry access, and space to self-cater. The espresso maker, Netflix-equipped Smart TV, and pet-friendly, crib-available setup also make it a fit for longer stays or visitors traveling with pets or young children.
Travel tips
Since housekeeping is only provided once per stay, guests planning a longer visit should plan to tidy up or request extra service if needed. The on-site concierge and tour/ticket assistance can help with sightseeing logistics in New York, and the ATM/banking service on-site is a convenient stop before heading out for the day. Pack essentials for laundry use, as washer facilities are available in-house.
What guests say
Guest feedback reflects a mix of experiences around room comfort and functionality. Some reviewers reported issues with bed quality, including a bunk bed that was not properly secured, along with air conditioning that failed to adequately cool the room and a broken TV mount that prevented television use. On a more positive note, at least one reviewer found the unit workable for a larger group of five people, describing it as cozy rather than cramped, suggesting the apartment-style layout can accommodate multiple travelers despite compact square footage.
