Stayed there for 2 nights in October, 2012. Hotel's staff was extremely helpful and nice, hotel itself is nicely furbished & clean. The A/C was a bit loud, though. I was staying on the 16th floor, therefore I had a mini balcony/terrace thing next to my room, so I would climb out and smoke, while enjoying the view of Manhattan.... More

I recently stayed at the San Carlos Hotel and was pleasantly surprised especially given the great rate we received. The hotel is in the heart of Midtown with easy access to subways, shopping, etc. I was there on a guys trip so we booked a suite. It was surprisingly big. I have stayed in other suites in New York, and... More

Stayed with the family for 10 nights. Staff were helpful. Beds were good had no issues getting a good night sleep. Room was fine for our requirements. Free breakfast a bonus. Handy location to mid town and time square, close to subway. 20% discount for prepayment help defer costs of sightseeing. Wifi was just fine. Will be back next time.

The San Carlos is a fantastic boutique hotel in a great location in Manhattan. The rate was much better than other hotels in the vicinity. The staff was all wonderful and very helpful. We had a wonderful room on the 12th floor. Not a great view but a large room with a very comfortable bed with great linens and Aveda... More

We had a room with 2 double beds, and it was a normal size hotel room (that is to say, not a teen-tiny New York size hotel room.) Very nice, clean plus a reasonable sized bathroom (with Aveda products!! Score!). Our view was nothing to write home about (air shaft/alley), but on the positive side, there was no traffic noise...

The San Carlos is a very impressive boutique hotel, well positioned on 50th St. in Manhattan. We found the service from check-in friendly, efficient and unobstrusive. Indeed when we complained about the T.V. not working at one point, they sent a beautiful gift basket to the room and apologised explaining that the fault was the cable company's, but they were...

Fabulous staff (Thank you, Santos, Andy & others) , bright cheerful rooms & pleasant lobby. Wonderful beds. We ended up at the San Carlos after a poor experience at another hotel which was under construction. I had special accessibility needs due to a broken leg & the staff did all they could to make me comfortable. We had a suite... 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
