We stayed at this wonderful hotel with our two children and small dog. We ALL had a wonderful time in NYC, mostly thanks to the exceptional hospitality of the Affinia 50. Our room was very spacious, with lots of closet space and a handy full size kitchen. It was great to be able to buy breakfast at a grocery store (there are several within easy walking distance) and have a convenient breakfast in the room.

The Affinia 50 is in a great neighbourhood. It's a short walk to 5th Ave, and Central Park, but also on the edge of where it starts to get quieter and more neighbourly. Staying there was a great combination of feeling at home, and having ready access to the major attractions of NYC.

And the staff was extra friendly and obliging. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They also recommended some great restaurants in the neighbourhood.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

My girlfriend, now fiance, and I stayed at the Affinia 50 last November and absolutely loved it. I actually proposed to her at the hotel and Affinia was extremely instrumental in making things go as smoothly as possible. I contacted them prior to our visit, informed them of what I hoped to do, and they said no problem. They provided the rose petal turn down service and the manager personally placed the ring on the bed for me while we were out for dinner. SOOOOOO accomodating.

The location is great, the service outstanding, and the beds are a dream. When we go back to NYC, the Affinia will be our top choice. Wish that it weren't quite as expensive but you only get engaged once (you hope). Thanks again to the Affinia 50 staff!

I was suprised by some of the negative comments on the last few reviews for this hotel . We (my husband and I and two teenage children) stayed at the Affinia 50 in July. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our 15th floor suite was extremely clean and large enough for 2 queen beds and a rollaway bed for our second daughter, the bathroom was a good size and there was more than adequate closet space. The kitchen was usful, but not really necessary as there are so many places to eat nearby. As a previous reviewer said the beds are some of the most comfortable I have ever slept on (I have back problems and I'm very very fussy), we did reciveve a pillow menu but didn't bother to change. We had no problems with noise from banging doors or voices in corridoors and street noise was at a perfectly acceptable level for a busy city (again noise is an area about which we are a fussy family as we take particular care to be quiet ourselves). All the staff were extremely helpful giving us recommndations for things to do, places to go, places to eat and directions. Would definately stay here again.
Highly recommend Ess-a-bagel across the street for breakfast, and the Smith and Wollensky grill (on 49th and 3rd) for excellent steak.

I was in New York in october, 2005. I didn't remember if I wrote my review. Anyway just few lines to express my total satisfaction for this hotel. As reviews I read said Affinia 50 is a perfect location for your journey. Well located, midtown, near underground stop, near baggels shop and starbucks, close to a supermarket... all the facilites. We had a very beautiful room in the 10th floor. I think the name was junior suite. We had two enormous beds, a kitchen (perfect for preparing breakfast or dinner if you decide to rest a litlle), at least 30 square metres I think. Hotel staff was nice, although I didn't need them a lot, just for asking for an electric switch to charge my european mobile. Just for your interest, we use airport shuttle for a company (the blue shuttle I thing, 8 usd per person more or less and they pick you up at the airport and pick you from the hotel to the airport) and it's a good alternative to a taxi, and cheaper. Coming back to Affinia, I'm looking for bad things, the breakfast price, maybe? As I've said you have lot of chance in the surroundings. Apart from that, I will return to Affinia when I return to New York, the best place I've ever stayed.
