Spent a week showing my two teenage children New York based at the Seton, and had a really great stay. Rooms had great fixtures and furniture, beautifully decorated and wonderfully quiet for Manhatten from previous experience! Staff extremely friendly and most helpful. There was some slight inconvenience of refurbishment while staying, but staff bent over backwards to minimise impact and... More

The staff were very helpful, the neighborhood full of excellent restaurants, including the best bagels at Zuckers, the location very convenient, good coffee available at any time, the lobby just recently redone wonderfully. Our clean room was large enough... More

Stayed at this hotel at end of March 2013. Had a slight irritation with receptions staff in relation to our booking (in fairness we didnt book directly with the hotel) but this was quickly rectified by the very friendly and efficient Maurice. The hotel is exceptionally well located just off Lexington Ave and right around the corner from Grand Central.... More

We stayed at the Seton Hotel for 6 nights. I was the perfect base for exploring Manhattan and beyond. It is only 2 short blocks from Grand Central Terminal making it really easy to access public transport and airport transfer buses. There is no restaurant but plenty of dining options close by including a 24- hour diner around the corner.... More

A superb and affordable hotel with a great location. The street was quiet at night, and the room was very nice and clean. The staf made the stay even better, with great service and good humor. The hotel does not serve breakfast, but there was no problem finding good food just around the corner.

This hotel contributed greatly to us having a fantastic holiday. It was a two minute walk from Grand Central Station, a five minute walk to Fifth Avenue, and a fifteen minute walk to Times Square. Having nearly everything we planned to go to within walking distance was such a convenience - we really enjoyed being able to nip back to... More

Very Nice place. The staff was very warm and attentive. Only issue was construction that we were unaware of until our arrival. Other than that it was an awesome experiance. I will definitly look into staying again for my next trip to NYC.
