Absolutely wonderful stay for 5 nights - clean, recently updated rooms with top notch service and management. Very friendly staff who take the edge off of being in NYC. We were fortunate to stay in a suite - rooms are very large for NYC - flat screen tv's as well as kitchenette and all with modern, high quality furniture, carpeting... More

This is like a small suite. We were in Manhattan for 8 nights and this was a brilliant location (10mins to Central Park, 5 mins to 5th Ave shops, 15mins to Time Square) in a safe and pretty part of Midtown East close to gorgeous little restaurants, a great deli, laundromat and everything you could want. Tariff includes FREE WiFi,... More

I was there with my family one week before Christmas, the city was very full of tourists and the hotel prices very high. We decided for San Carlos Hotel first for its position, then because it was the only one offering breakfast included in price. The receptionist by checking in was very professional and gave us all information we could... More

I am just wrapping up a four night stay and have to applaud the San Carlos for a great experience. I am in the one bedroom suite which was like having my own apartment.

We recently completed a four night stay at the San Carlos and found it to be a wonderful option for family travel to New York. The staff was welcoming and the rooms clean and well appointed. We stayed in a one bedroom suite (two queen beds and a pull-out couch) which worked very well for our family of five. While... More

This was our fourth stay at the San Carlos, and it is really the only place to stay. It is close to everything in Midtown, and one block from a Subway stop enroute to everywhere else. The staff is friendly, the rooms are airy and roomy and comfortable. Breakfast is included, the Wi-Fi is free, there are microwaves, coffee makers... More

This was our first time to the US and thanks to Tripadvisor we made a perfect choice. This hotel is in an excellent location. The rooms were big and comfortable. Breakfast was included and was a very good buffet arrangement. This hotel represents excellent value for money and we had no complaints. We would definitely stay here again.
