San Carlos Hotel New York

It is clean, safe, quiet and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is close by regarding markets, breakfast and restaurants to eat. It is close to the subway and you can walk to many destinations. It's not a frills hotel, but was perfect for what we wanted. The rooms are "normal" size and not small just because they are in NYC. We loved the area and definitely would stay here again.

It's a no frills hotel. If you want anything you must ask the front desk. There is a workout area, but no pool or restaurant in the hotel itself. However, every thing is very close by. Starbucks is very close and breakfast is just across the street. However, we did not really feel like this was an inconvenience at all.

I've looked at this hotel 100 times but never stayed here before, it looked dated in the pictures. I finally stayed here and it was great. I can see why people really like it. The staff were so friendly and eager to help at every moment. The furniture is an older style but clean and not beat up. My room was huge with a sitting area, desk and kitchenette. The bed was really comfortable and it was very quiet. I didn't have time to check out any amenities so I'm not sure what's offered. Parking was 3 blocks away, I paid $40 for 24 hours. Subway, restaurants and tourist attractions are all within a few blocks.

I wish I could have stayed longer.

The staff was very friendly and eager to help. The kitchenette with minifridge, microwave, dishes, silverware, glasses, and a can and bottle opener made it possible to prepare breakfast and dinner in our room. Each day, the housekeeping staff replaced our dirty dishes with clean dishes. The iron, ironing board, pants press, and 2 white robes were a nice touch, as was lending out umbrellas on a rainy day. This hotel is clean. For our family of 5, it was so nice to have 2 rooms and 2 TVs within our suite. It was well worth it to pay the extra daily fee for a roll-away bed so that, between the second bed, sofa sleeper, and roll-away bed, each of our 3 teenagers could have their own bed. It was great to have 2 closets to store our luggage in. Also, we appreciated the fitness center and the business center, both for their usefulness and also to have someplace to go when someone wanted a little break from 24-7 family time. The vending machine in the business center was handy. Great location in Manhattan. Just go 1.5 blocks to the subway station on 51st St, take it downtown to Grand Central Station (42nd St), and transfer anywhere. Take subway 4, 5, or 6 Uptown to return to 51st St station. The multiple Duane Read stores nearby were convenient for essential groceries.

We would have preferred that the bathroom had a fan.

Hotel was clean and well-maintained. Bed was comfortable and having a small kitchen area was really convenient. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.

There wasn’t really anything we didn’t like. The only the thing that was a little strange for us was having the one bathroom off the bedroom but not connected to the living room area. I was sharing the elite suite room with my son and his girlfriend. There were times that I was in bed and they had to come through my bedroom to use the restroom. But it really wasn’t a big deal.

The room and hotel were beautiful. The only reason I’m writing a review is because I believe the housekeeper that cleaned our rooms went above and beyond. Our room was spotless every time we returned, she brought us extra towels without asking (we were a large group), and I just felt like she did an exceptional job every time!

We were so happy with the hotel! the hotel staff was great and so friendly! Our room was so clean and the BED was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in!!! Also, great location!!

Good hotel. Big rooms with kitchenaid. very clean. The location is central. It is not the times square but very close to the 5th ave, to 2 subways stations and with many places to eat around We were 6 persons, 2 adults and 4 kids. We good a 2 rooms suit. The rooms were big and very comfortable. good value for families.

Plenty of space for our family of five, including 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Small kitchenette with mini fridge & microwave a great plus for leftovers! Location puts you close to attractions like Times Square, 5th Ave shopping, Central Park, etc. but is tucked away on a quieter street which is nice after a long day. A short walk to Grand Central Station or 51st/Lexington for Subway. Everything you could need in walking distance as well.

excellent location in midtown. a couple of mins walk from St Patrick’s cathedral and 5th Ave. great location for subway too. Rooms were clean and a decent size with a kitchen area. housekeeping came everyday. staff were very friendly and very helpful. Indian restaurant next door to the hotel was fab. we had our dinner there two nights out of four.

didn’t like that there was no food available or no bar to have a drink and relax in the evenings. there was a diner across the road which we visited for breakfast every morning which was handy but really added to our daily spending but I knew there was no breakfast before I went. the street was noisy at times and I thought we would have a problem sleeping but we got used to it

The staff were very attentive and friendly. The rooms themselves were also quite nice and spacious. The location in Midtown is hard to beat and many things a tourist would want to see are a very short distance away.

There was a coffee stain on one of the duvet covers in our room but on the plus side, the staff were very accommodating and quickly changed it out for us. I would also caution light sleepers that the walls here are thin and it is easy to hear your neighbors. Although we did not have any trouble, light sleepers would be advised to bring a pair of earplugs, just in case.
