Midtown East hotel guide. Iberostar hotel in Midtown East, New York

"The room was clean, but too small! smaller than an ordinary hotel room in Japan. The restroom is also too small. The shower(tub) and sink drain slow. The soap, shampoo, & conditioner was almost empty when we came, and they did not refill when we had it cleaned on the 2nd day, so we ran out of shower gel. The bar soap for the hands was also not replaced evethough it was soaking on the container provided, most hotels would. There was no slippers provided or bath robes. There was a $35/day daily charge that we were told we could use on the breakfast buffet, but the person on the front did not explain that they will charge us separately for that, then"

"Room was large and clean. If your room is in area of elevators, asked to be moved, as you will hear the ring and people talking ALL night!"

"We loved this hotel. We will definitely be back soon. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Room was very comfortable."

"Amazingly cleaned room and loved the customer service. Everything about our stay at the Fifty Sonesta was great. "

"Clean room"

"This hotel in Midtown Manhattan near Grand Central Station was just what I needed. It was reasonably priced and reasonably sized for NYC. The rooms had convenient charging areas, a Nespresso machine, free water bottles and refill stations on every floor, and full size lotion, body wash, shampoo to use. The only thing I wish the room had was a microwave. It had no lobby to speak of and no restaurant or bar, but it had a tiny but friendly staff who quickly checked you in and out and took care of any requests. There apparently is a covered lounge area on one of the upper floors, but I didn’t get a chance to go up there. "

"Excellent!!"

"Let's start with downsides: it advertises noise issues. The walls ARE thin and loud conversations in the halls or adjoining rooms do leak, but they let you know this is an issue. Other than that, it is just as they advertise. On the plus sides, my room was small, but it was just fine for me. Space enough for my clothes and what I needed. A sink in the room was perfect. Shelves and hangers were great and gave flexibility. I opted for the bathroom down the hallway to save money, and that was fine. They were clean and only once did I have to wait just five minutes to use it. Otherwise, they were vacant each time I needed to go to the toilet. Having a cafe downstairs was very, very convenient first thing for coffee and yogurt. The location near the subway was also perfect (although the city was doing maintenance and that stop was closed for part of the time I was there). It is a close walk to Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hall (30 minutes), and a mere short subway ride to all points around. A great location, good service, comfortable, and affordable (no small thing in Manhattan). I highly recommend this place."

"Good stay"
