This hotel is set in a great location, easy access to subway and loads of great areas to walk to. The staff were fantastic recommending great local restaurants and the rooms were very comfortable. Quite pricey but you certainly get what you pay for. Would thoroughly recommend.

Just spent 3 nights on a business trip. Room was nicely appointed and decently sized for NYC standards. The front desk staff were very helpful regarding a package that was couriered to the hotel for me. They quickly made sure it was received and put in my room. I did not use the restaurant but it looked quite decent. I... More

Only stayed one night but it seemed good enough, somewhat irritated on arrival so find I had been issued the wrong room and had to get another. It was also annoying, if not bizzare, for the concierge to insist I accessed my case (having left it there after check out) in a public area rather than the store. All bedroom... More

This hotel was selected by a culinary tour we booked, and since I have not been in New York for a few years, I was pleased it was in a neighborhood I was familiar with. Pros: The location is good for getting around as it has 3-4 subway lines within a 1-5 block walk. It is also a couple blocks... More

If you're looking for a hotel in NYC for under $300 a night, I recommend the Carlton. Close to Penn Station & Madison Square Park (yummy Shake Shack burgers!). Room was clean, elevators were fast, staff helpful!

We chose the Carlton for a four night break from the UK. We took pot-luck with a standard room: it had a small bed, and as it overlooked an alley there was very little daylight. It would also have been nice to have in-room tea/coffee making facilities instead of having to travel floors down to acquire it from the hotel's... More

We stayed here for three night while work was being done in our apartment. We selected this hotel because it was near our apartment and they accepted dogs. Check in was friendly and efficient. On first look, the lobby is large and well laid out. Feels almost grand. The room hallways are dark (in a design way) and twisty. This... More

Having stayed in many types of hotels in NYC, this is one of the nicest if you like older "boutique" properties. It is pretty much in the middle of everthing, close to the tourist sites and not a far cab ride to most of what's happening. Room is small (actually not too bad by New York standards), clean, and has... More

I've stayed in lots of midprice, midtown hotels and trust me, there are far smaller rooms and bathrooms than what you'll find at the Carlton.This is one of the few times I've had a room where the view wasn't an air shaft. I thought the room was nicely decorated and loved the Molton Brown toiletries. But when you looked a... More
