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

A very good service, with the highest quality rooms. Exceptional food but still i would not reccomend this facility for other purpose then businness related journey. Art deco design elements make the hotel more cozy.

This hotel came very highly recommended to me. I had booked this hotel for a 2 night stay, which wasn't cheap, and was looking forward to 2 good nights sleep before continuing on an around the world journey. My time at The Carlton started with no assistance from door staff while I dragged my large heavy luggage into the hotel,... More
