Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had comfortable rooms and friendly staff, making it a perfect stay despite being closed for private parties in the afternoon. The location was excellent, close to Times Square and Grand Central, ideal for business and leisure travelers. The dining experience was superb with special attention to guests like serving hot cocoa to individuals. However, the premium prices and long waits were a downside.
The hotel has a charming old-world vibe with spacious rooms that might need some time to adjust the temperature. The service is exceptionally friendly, and the yogurt parfait is a must-try, though the front desk might need to be more attentive. The location is unbeatable, close to Broadway and Grand Central Terminal, providing a comfortable and elegant stay. The dining options may lack variety, especially for vegetarians, and the hotel's five-star rating might not fully match the experience.
The hotel rooms were very neat and perfect size, but they need a bit of a refresh as they felt small and crowded compared to other Sofitels I have visited. The service was fabulous, with attentive and efficient staff. The location was just perfect, within walking distance of major attractions in midtown. The dining experience was varied, with some overpricing issues but overall wonderful offerings. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory.
The hotel is located near Grand Central Station and 5/6 Avenues, making it perfect for both business and leisure travelers. The rooms are very outdated with a damp smell but are spacious and provide a corner view on the 21st floor. The service, while generally good, seems disinterested at times. The hotel offers limited dining options at a high price. However, the location allows easy access to top sights and great restaurants nearby.
The hotel is perfectly located for those wanting easy access to Times Square, Broadway, and the city's major attractions. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the initial cleanliness fell short, with a dirty carpet and grimy bathroom shower upon check-in. The service was exceptional, especially the additional care provided for my infant daughter. Dining options were lacking for the high price paid, needing improvement in quality and variety.
The hotel provided a clean and good-sized room with a view, perfect for my stay with my adult son. The staff was pleasant, professional, and very helpful, although some improvement in politeness could be made. The location was great, just 3 blocks from Times Square, ideal for both business and leisure. The dining service, while not buffet-style, offered delicious local seafood options.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, perfect for a family stay, with a wonderful view and ample room but could benefit from additional storage like a dresser or armoire. The service was exceptional, with staff making our trip special for my mum's birthday. The location near Grand Central Station and 5/6 Avenues provided a comfortable and calm stay with the most comfortable bed and great service, although frustrating to miss out on the coffee service until the last day. The dining experience, especially for vegetarians, was not up to par, rated poorly on the website. Overall, the hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers quite spacious rooms for New York standards, with beautiful décor and very helpful staff. However, some minor renovations are needed as the baseboards and carpets looked a bit dingy. Unfortunately, there is no kettle and coffee facility in the room.
The hotel has a great location, close to popular attractions and only a short walk from Times Square. The rooms were clean and comfortable, albeit slightly old-fashioned. The service was friendly and accommodating, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel had stunning views of the Empire State and the Chrysler Building from my top floor room, despite being small and a bit shabby for the high price of $1659.00 for 3 nights. The service was fabulous, with attentive and efficient staff. The location, although in need of a renovation, was perfect and conveniently close to Times Square. The dining experience was overpriced and not as clear as expected. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
