VOCO ASTORIA BY IHG, New York

The hotel is 4 km from LaGuardia Airport - a 10-minute bus or taxi ride - and 6 km from landmarks such as St Patrick's Cathedral and the Museum of Modern Art. Central Park and the Chrysler Building are 8 km away, reachable in about 20 minutes via the subway. Astoria's neighbourhood is walkable with a wide variety of cafés, bars, and dining options, including Akrotiri, Namaste, and Astoria Pizzeria within 0.5 km. A 24-hour supermarket is directly opposite the hotel. The N/W line is effectively at the doorstep, making car-free exploration of the city straightforward. While the subway is convenient, some rooms have railway noise; the building's soundproofing is effective for most, but light sleepers may prefer a room facing away from the tracks.

Room types include double rooms with one bed, suites, and family rooms with a Queen bed and a twin bunkbed - the latter can comfortably accommodate three people (no rollout beds are available). All rooms have a private bathroom with bath or shower, a TV, tea and coffee facilities, and USB-C charging ports. The design is modern and clean, with good storage and blackout curtains. Some guests note that rooms can be small by NYC standards, but they are efficiently laid out. Heating and air conditioning are individually controlled, though a few units have been reported to switch between modes unpredictably. Noise levels vary: rooms facing the train or near the lobby bar may hear sound until late, while upper floors and rooms away from the street are quieter. Bedding is high-quality, with comfortable mattresses and pillows. Daily housekeeping is available on request.

Breakfast is American-style with a choice of around eight prepared dishes, served in the hotel's own restaurant (not at a partner location). Recent stays confirm the breakfast is excellent, with options like eggs, sandwiches, and pastries. Dinner at the Anemi Modern Greek restaurant features traditional Greek cuisine; it is popular and can be lively in the evenings. The bar in the lobby offers drinks and is often busy, with music that can be heard in adjacent rooms. For lighter meals, there is a coffee shop on site and a minimarket. The surrounding area also has a high concentration of restaurants and cafés within a short walk, including Greek, Italian, and American options.

The fitness centre is open 24 hours and contains modern equipment. It is well-maintained and suitable for a workout during your stay. There is no pool or spa on site. The hotel's location in Astoria provides easy access to parks, an ice-skating rink nearby, and the many cultural attractions of Manhattan within a short subway ride.

WiFi is free throughout the property. The 24-hour front desk provides express check-in and check-out, luggage storage before arrival or after departure, and a safety deposit box. Daily housekeeping is complimentary and available on request. The hotel is wheelchair accessible with a lift, accessible bathroom features, and tactile/braille aids. Pets are allowed with applicable charges. An on-site minimarket and a coffee shop add convenience. Safety features include CCTV, key card access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. The property is non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area. Connecting rooms are available by prior request. No parking is available on the property.
