We spent two nights at the lovely San Carlos Hotel, on East 50th Street in NY. The room was luxurious and quiet, and the staff was great. The hotel has a very gracious feeling and is unlike many of the other NY hotels that have a commercial atmosphere. The room rate was inexpensive for New York, because we were there... More

This is an awesome hotel. It is across from the Kimberly Hotel which I also hear is good. But I will never know, because I have no reason to look anywhere else. Everything was excellent from the manager, bell captain to housekeeping. We had reserved the hotel's car to the airport and were a few minutes late getting back to... More

Location. Lex & 3rd Ave, we could WALK everywhere. Metro 1/2 block to Green 4-5-6- line; 2 blocks to blue E-line; 3 blocks to 5th Avenue and Rockefeller centre; 5 blocks to Plaza. Service. The people are extremely helpful and friendly. Nothing is a problem. Toaster. Kettle. Towels within 5 minutes of request. Spacious. The living room is HUGE. Wide.... More

close to 5th avenue, and a lot of subway opportunities, you reach everything smoothly. we had suits which were large and convenient. also had a kitchen if you want to eat in. If you pay before the travel, you can have discount, and it is a good deal. I'm not sure about the regular rooms. breakfast is only bagels and... More

We stayed in the San Carlos from Dec 25, 2011 - Jan 1, 2012. We stayed in a 1 bdrm suite which was large by any standards, and extra large by NYC standards. It has a small kitchenette with microwave, frig, sink and storage but no stove. 1 bathroom which was average. Hotel was clean, modern and updated. We have... More

Good sized rooms, great location, and helpful staff. Good little breakfast to get you on your way, saves stopping off at other eateries and instead making the most of this amazing place! We went in December and the Christmas themes throughout hotel very tasteful. Already looking to return this year! Special thanks to Matthew the doorman! More

Our family of 5 (children aged 12, 10 and 7 yrs) stayed in a suite on the 15th floor for 7 nights over the New Year season. Our suite had 2 Queen beds in the bedroom and a comfortable sofa bed in the living room. We were impressed by the comfortable beds, big size of rooms, kitchenette with microwave and... More

The last time my family stayed in a hotel (a Marriott in DC), my husband vowed never to stay in a hotel again. It was that negative of an experience. The San Carlos changed his mind. I booked a 4-day stay right before Christmas based on the Tripadvisor reviews after looking for a suitable hotel and location for months. We're... More

I can only add to the positive comments about the rooms, location, and service that I won't bother repeating. Very reasonably priced. As others have said, try and get a room higher up. The included breakfast is poor. I recommend giving it a miss if you're not on an extremely tight budget. I highly recommend treating yourself to breakfast at... More
