Moynihan Hall Amtrak Lounge in New York
The new hall is very nice. The Amtrak first class lounge is spacious, and has good selections of beverages and food.
Vincenzo helped our entire train board effectively and efficiently. Give this man a raise and a promotion! He made our whole experience that much more enjoyable.
Moynihan Hall is amazing, a lot of guilty pleasures. For example bakery, Starbucks, and a special independent coffee house. Kudos to the new addition of the Duane Reade. This is a safe, clean, secure, family oriented place. Love it!!!❤
I was acousted by a non-uniform badge wearing employee. My crime, I placed my coffee cup on an unused counter to adjust my bag and take off a backpack while waiting for a train. He said, Someone else PAID for this counter space. You cant use it. He said I could use customer seating. However, I am a senior adult, and never would have found the station without my daughter who lives in NYC. He said I could get assistance from redcaps. But my daughter wanted to see me off (no track yet assigned). He told me I dont need a family member. Made us feel unwelcome. Why cant my daughter sit with me until the train comes?When I finished my morning coffee (We left home in Brooklyn at 6 am to catch the train, arriving 49 minutes early so I would not miss it), I asked same man where the trash can was. Again ONLY in seating area for ticketed passengers. I could throw my cup out, but not my daughter! Why no trash cans in HUGE hall, maybe by down escalators. Why no open seating, like between escalators. Why is Amtrak at Moinahan Hall so unfriendly? Do they not understand people from out of town and elderly need help navigating the NYC transportation system?
Very nice Amtrak lounge area. Its clean, and has many amenities like seating and power outlets.
Loved it, theres a few places to eat from and even a bar! Small souvenir shop, and Starbucks.. train stop Is very clean..the staff was also helpful with travel info...
Well lit lounge has plenty of places to plug-in devices and plenty of monitors displaying information about train departures. Also the train announcements could be easily heard.
It is confusing as to where to get the train. Penn Station or Moynihan Hall. Seating Sucks and it is such a poor use of space. The restaurants R not open @ 11am, just the bar. Lets not talk about being handicapped and trying to get to a train or the subway..awful. I dont like it!
Beautiful and spacious. Very clean. Good spot for Amtrak
What a beautiful space compared to the old Penn Station! Nice selection of food and drink service (some hidden so be sure to explore)
A nice change from the old daysClean with an open air of people moving.
Very clean and clear. Hope it stays cool forever.
These elitists have people going around whose sole job is to tell others not to sit. Truly capitalism has taken over. #eattherich
An adventure...yes my princess Arabella Rose Carvalho wanted totake the train..i did this same destination with my 4 children yes thank you for helping me build memories i pray my grandaughter..god will remember
Love the new train hall! Not many food options on a Sunday would be my only issue.
Clean, huge, easy to navigate. Can’t really ask for much else in a train station, I suppose.
The building is huge, and beautiful!! It was easy to find the train, and very helpful staff!
Very clean and modern terminal, but beware if youre taking the LIRR and you have a baby stroller or suitcases there are no elevators to the platforms on this side, so you have to either carry everything by hand down the stairs or walk across to Penn Station in order to have an elevator.
Loved the new Amtrak Hall!
It’s a very beautiful place but given its size and purpose it could use more seating and some sort of store for snacks a beverages. The food court is supposed to open soon so that will be an improvement.
Liquor license coming December 15th at 11am!
Very clean, modern train terminal. Clean restrooms, food court, comfortable waiting area.As nice as any Ive seen in Europe or anywhere else!
New Station looks good a little confusing but once you figure it out its not bad.
The place is clean. Unfortunately there is no place where to sit and wait for your shuttle.
Unfortunately are lacking in workers so if you have a question about anything in regards to schedules, good luck.
This area is more developed with a food Hall opened up.
Beautiful, airy, and welcoming train station.
Clean comfortable seats, info available
Beautiful and much more accessible than Penn Station
Beautiful new station !! so Easy to get to and travel through
Clean and easy to navigate
Clean Employees very helpful
First time taking the train, traveling from Washington to New York.
They finished the entrance
Clean not congested.
Second time here, nice place!
Fancy
Very beautiful
Beautiful building! More seating would be helpful, so minus one star for a lack of consideration for accessibility
The station is beautiful, clean, bright, made under the old station, many cafes and various shops.
Beautiful facilities, ample comfort. With Wi-Fi available.
Excellent spacious, clean, safe place, the directions for the trains are accessible and easy to understand.

2022-06-12Best lounge of all Amtrak lounges. Only wish you get priority boarding like Chicago & Washington. The most expansive food & drink options, actual hot breakfast sandwiches, & more. There’s even a bar, but it was morning when I was there. Beautiful waiting area with an outdoor balcony over looking the waiting area below. Definitely worth stopping at . It’s free for Acela first class, Sleeping cars & Select Executive holding any ticket class.

2022-02-24My first time here at this station and it was amazing. It’s super clean and new still. It was easy to get around and the staff was all helpful. Compared to so many other Amtrak stations, this might be this best in the country.

2022-06-13Sure, it’s an improvement over the caves below Madison Square Garden but it is 1 star in terms of design (no good places to sit while waiting for your train, waiting for friends or seeing friends off) despite tons of large open space. Definitely my least favorite train station in the US, which puts it lowest on my list globally. I expected more from all the focus on its design. While there is a “bar” it’s not clear you don’t need to pay to use that seating and the music there is so loud you can barely think, let alone relax. Also, the bathrooms are already damaged and not large enough to serve the population during a slow Sunday evening. I hate to think about the experience mid week.

2022-04-06Very disappointed. A brand new multi million dollar transportation center that had issues with the digital information boards not to mention problems with restrooms. One restroom was closed the other only one sink had water none of the 3 did the hand dryer work. I travel every week and my biggest complaint is with the automatic soap dispenser water faucet and hand dryer. I have never seen all of them work on the same sink. They are a universal failure

2022-06-02Since Penn Station under construction, I walk one more block further to enter on 8th Ave near Post Office. Bright, clean, open space to wait for train. Stores, bars and clean bathrooms open. Charging stations also available.

2022-03-21Overall its a bright clean space. My upset occurred when I witnessed the abusive nature of the waiting area employees. You had elderly being spoken to dismissively and quite frankly rudely be these self important attendants who forgot there role is to assist not police.

2022-05-29You can rate train stations? This is life changing. I’m so going to rate Union Station in DC next. It’s actually a really nice station. It could, however, use more trash cans. I’m actually serious about the trash cans.
