Contrary to critics we were welcomed by a friendly front desk agent @ 2am. Check in was smooth despite the odd hour. Room size surprised us , as normally in NYC you get much less space. Room for improvement: (1)You need more than a tiny coffee table in a big room for two to enjoy late night dinnig - When... more

My husband and I have just returned from our first visit to New York, it was a holiday to remember and it was made even more so because we stopped at the Flatotel in a Deluxe King room. It was worth every penny to upgrade for a larger room with bath/shower/air con/microwave/fridge....We stopped on the 14th floor and it was... more

I reserved this hotel for the price and the location, not expecting to be wowed, but at least expecting truth in advertising and relatively pleasant people. Upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised by the GREAT location, well decorated lobby, and courteous front desk agent. The room was spacious although seriously lacking artwork. The bathroom was also a good size, however,... more

This hotel was in our corporate hotels list so I stayed there during my last trip to NYC. The location was great, right in midtown within walking distance of pretty much everything. I got in during the week when most of the hotels in midtown were booked solid due to the NY Auto Show and I was happy that the... more

The hotel is pole position on the grid in terms of proximity to the... more

If you've ever visited NYC you know hotels in midtown are expensive. I was able to secure the Flatotel for about $300/night. It is a prime location on W. 52nd near the Theater District, Times Square and subway stops. The rooms were all recently remodeled, very modern and clean with big bathrooms, the staff nice and helpful. they also added... more

Absolutely not staying here ever again! The staff at the front desk was rude and didn't care. The girl who checked me in told me not a single room was ready in the entire hotel, but my colleague checked in a minute after me (same room type) and the guy who checked him in, found a room. That lady was... more

My business contact in NYC chose the hotel for me. The positives have been mentioned before: convenient midtown location, spacious room and bathroom. Other pluses: I found the staff friendly (by NY standards) and helpful. I appreciated the free internet in the business center; the quiet refrigerator and the microwave in my room; the closet safe; and the extremely comfortable... more

We have just come back from a "girls" shopping trip to New York. This was my fourth visit in 4 years and the Flatotel is a hidden gem right in the heart of the Times Square area. It's on 52nd street and no more than a 10 minute walk to Central Park, 5th Avenue, Broadway Theatres, Rockefeller Plaza and Times... more
