I'd love to return!

The San Carlos Hotel offered a Junior Suite with a kitchenette at prices comparable to other standard rooms at nearby hotels. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The location was excellent for both Broadway theaters and Central Park. Good selection of restaurants and shops are nearby. All employees were very friendly and helpful. Shout of to Victor our bellman, so kind and understanding.

A quiet space in a vibrant city

The place is very good located, walkable and subway so close. Many places to buy, eat and have fun. The staff so friendly and always there to help. Our suite was great but the bed to tiny for two so they prepare the sofá bed in the living room and that makes the place not so fantástic, but anyway we hope to return someday

The hotel was as expected, very clean and your basic room with amenities. We found the staff very pleasant, and the area safe. The location is walking distance from many of Manhattan’s most popular tourist attractions Grand Central Station, Empire State for example. The diner across the street is a great place to start your day off with a good breakfast. The only thing I wished I had done was to speak to the house keeping staff to stop letting the doors slam as they cleaned. Once or twice, sure, but 30-40 times in an hour was way too much annd we couldn’t sleep in. We only said something on the last day, and it was handled immediately, but it shouldn’t have been happening in the first place. We would absolutely stay here again. The noise took nothing from our stay.

The front desk staff are professional and respond promptly to requests. Surrounding area of the hotel is fine, convenient for services and subway. The queen-bed size room with kitchenette is small, very small considering the photo that is shown as representing this room. The kitchenette is basically an area of about 3 feet wide with tiny microwave, coffee/tea maker with supplies, and a small refrigerator with tiny freezer. The only drawer contains supplies for meals for 2 people. It works but is very basic. Sometimes housekeeping staff replaced used plates, cups, and flatware with clean ones, but one day the staff just left them for me to wash. New coffee pouches were not replaced, body wash was out and not replaced for 3 days, no bath mat for one day, and no one had cleaned under the bed before my arrival - I found used slippers and one sock remained under the bed for my 6-day stay.
