What a great hotel - in a fabulous location. The service was excellent - the continental breakfast a welcome start to the day with a large choice of food - all fresh and lots of variety. The staff were courteous and polite without being overwhelming - nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is ideally located - just a few...

As a previous review says, I'm hesitant to let too many people in on this gem. First of all, it's pretty unusual that the hotel's owner/operator is on site. I checked in with the wonderful Gabriel at the front desk--a most charming and welcoming staff member. I am beyond particular and Gabriel was attentive to the requests that I had...

My husband and I stayed at the San Carlos Hotel for a week in March. We loved everything about it. The staff at the reception desk were very friendly and efficient. The rooms were fabulous! The bed was super comfortable and the room was spic and span clean. We had stayed at other hotels in Manhattan, including the Hilton. The...

Spacious, quiet, very clean midtown gem. We stayed in a 'queen suite' with our 10 and 15 year olds. The 600 square foot room featured a queen bed in a room with a door. There was a queen size pull out sofa bed and a roll away in the next room with a kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator and big screen tv....

Stayed three nights for business/pleasure trip. Booked a King Executive Suite and WOW, great, huge, clean room! Our room faced towards the front of the hotel, 50 street- 11th floor and did not hear any noise at night. Comfortable bed and very friendly housekeeper who tended graciously to our needs. Were able to check in early and given 2 umbrellas...

This hotel feels very much like a small luxury European hotel. The lobby is nice, but the real effort is in the well outfitted and big-for-NYC rooms. We had adjoining standard rooms and each had a large mini fridge with a real freezer (in addition to the mini bar), two sets of table service and a microwave. This enabled us...

We always stay at the San Carlos when traveling to NYC. Rooms are clean, spacious, and QUIET! It has a perfect central location in Midtown only a block from the subway. The staff is outstanding - friendly, helpful courteous and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend the San Carlos for your next stay in NYC.

My sister and I took our Mother to New York for a five day girls/birthday trip and had researched hotels on many sites. We are so grateful we found the San Carlos! For one, the service is so friendly, from the desk clerks to the doormen (Hi Matthew and Robert!) and even the housekeeping staff, who greeted us cheerfully every...

My husband and myself visited with friends for 6 days. We had stayed there before but it was my friends' first trip to New York so I was hoping that the hotel was as good as the last time, I was not disappointed. It is an absolute pleasure from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave and it...
