We had the best time here. The staff were super friendly and helpful when it came to answering any questions we had or giving us advice on what to do when in NYC. The rooms were clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again when we come back.

The people who works in the front desk, educated always willing to help in our request. Rooms clean and impecable. In other words we will book San Carlos Hotel in our next trip to New York City probably on spring. Location is formidable, since you have the chance to find good restaurants in the close neighborhood and also wthin an accesable distance to landmarks such as St Patrick Church.

Stayed here for an extended weekend getaway as a group of 4. We booked a one bedroom suite with two queen beds and a pull out sofa in the living room. The space worked really well for us and for the price and location, it was great value. While the decor isn’t anything to rave about, the suite was always kept well cleaned by housekeeping and everything was in decent condition. It would have been nice to have access to the bathroom from the main living area vs only the bedroom but that was really the only flaw. The hotel staff were all friendly and responsive. The location was the highlight. I like this area of midtown East as it’s an appealing area and works really well for seeing the sights and getting to and from different neighborhoods uptown and downtown. All in all, I’d stay again for a similar trip.

Stayed recently at this hotel and found the location great within walking distance of many tourist attractions and staff friendly. Rooms were quite outdated but they were clean and beds quite comfortable. The main issue for us was noise and not from the streets of New York but within the hotel. Our room may as well have had no walls between us & the next room. While we understand hotel rooms are side by side however the walls really were paper thin in our room. Our neigbours weren’t noisy by intention but we could hear their conversations, hairdryer, phone ringing etc and this wasn’t helped by having a young child who was clearly struggling with sleep and as a result had our child awake too. They too would have been able to hear our noises also. Unfortunately this really did hamper during the day our enjoyment as everyone was tired. Ear plugs are definitely needed though if you’re sensitive to sounds when staying in this hotel and especially for your small kids if you have children with you. We would stay again however with a request for quiet room, as staff are very helpful and a big shout out to the gentleman who sorted our luggage and airport transfer.

It's the second time we stayed there in 2 years. We find it very comfortable as location and the size of the room. The stuff was very polite and helpful. The furniture, the air condition and the bathroom are a bit dated but functional. I heard (the second time) that they intend to make e remont. The price was a bit high. We shall come back.

Great location, easy check in and validation of parking. Room was utilitarian, not bad, just a room to sleep in while site-seeing. Very safety conscious, called us to make sure we had ordered food delivery, I appreciated that. We got one of the more economical rooms, so we weren’t surprised to have a view of apartments and debris in the alley. But we didnt come to NYC for the room views :-) Definitely satisfied that we chose the San Carlo

We loved the San Carlos for the location but soon discovered that was a bonus. We had an Exec. Jr. Suite on the 12th floor. It was huge, with a large, separate living area, two big closets with lots of hangers, big dresser, a kitchenette with all the mod-cons, and quiet! Housekeeping was spot on, and the concierge staff were excellent, especially Krystal. She was delightful, informed, helpful and a real New Yorker. We highly recommend the San Carlos.

I never thought I'd write a review for a hotel because I was impressed by it! My husband and I stayed here at the end of Sept./early Oct. and couldn't have chosen a better place. We were aiming to stay within walking distance of our daughter's apartment and this fit the bill, and were so very pleasantly surprised at how kind and knowledgeable the staff is. Each person we spoke to, no matter what the subject, was interested without sounding "fake," and patient as we took in the information. While waiting my turn to make an inquiry, one of the staff carefully showed an older man just how to get where he needed to go on the subway and she made sure he truly understood. Who does that anymore?? I can be a bit of a pest with my many questions but I never had the feeling anyone minded and wished I would go away--couldn't say that about the Renaissance in Albany. The rooms are cleaned perfectly EVERY DAY, without our having to ask. Towels are replenished and all supplies are plentiful. We were lucky to stay on the 14th floor and they granted our request to have a quiet room; I'm pretty sure I've never had such a quiet room, especially in nyc. We will most definitely return the next time we're in the city.
