I recently stayed at the San Carlos Hotel for the first time. I made my selection based on desired location and Trip Advisor reviews (my usual "go-to" hotel in NYC was already booked for the weekend I wished to travel). I couldn't have been more pleased. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room (two double beds) was large,... More

Over the last 6 years we have stayed at the San Carlos Hotel at least 4 times. In between we tried a few different hotels which were good but ended up returning to the San Carlos because, as a whole, nothing can beat it. All personnel treat you like royalty and the rooms are beyond clean (I am a germaphobe)... More

Stayed two nights in a very spacious well equipped room in this small hotel right around the corner from the Waldorf Astoria. My room had a kitchen, couch, and comfortable bed. Bathroom was small but functional. Breakfast was included but I didn't try it - looked like the usual continental buffet. My only hesitation in recommending this hotel is a... More

We just returned from our 5th or 6th stay at the San Carlos Hotel and it was wonderful again. Rooms are spacious and clean and the location is great. The staff are very attentive and you see the same smiling faces as the last visit who seem genuinely happy to see their guests return. You always feel safe and well... More

This was an adequate stay for a reasonable price. The hotel is well situated on E 50th; across the street are both the Benjamin and Affinia 50, so others might want to try them for comparison. There's nothing special about the property. The reception lounge is relatively small yet efficient. The executive room I took was ok, decent space, comfortable... More

I just finished my fifth stay at this best kept secret in Manhattan on April 17-20 and the best thing about this hotel is the friendliness of is staff fom the concierge to the bellman (Bobby) to the check-in staff. They are all amazingly kind and well-informed. The rooms are very spacious with modern furnishings. The beds are ver comfortable.... More

Overall a great place to stay, away from the crowd especially at Times Square. Highly recommended for families traveling with children. The only thing lacking is a self service laundry facility.

The first time I stayed at San Carlos Hotel I was 7 years old, in December 1971, almost 41 years ago. Since then I've stayed there for many times. After a complete renovation, it reopened still better, that's why every time I am in NY, my choice is the San Carlos Hotel, a lovely place, with nice and confortable rooms,... More

We just spent a few days in New York staying at the San Carlos. From the moment of arrival you could tell this was something different, something out of the ordinary. The receptionist greeted us warmly, took time to ask about our trip and explain the facilities of the hotel. Now this could have been a one off, an employee... More
