We had read the reviews on here and decided to go for it for our very first stay in NYC. What a great hotel - the beds are simply amazing - especially after youve had that long walk - its like falling asleep in a cloud. The staff where kind and courteous. One thing I will say is if you dont ask you dont get. We got put on the 15th floor which I thought was a bit rubbish as its the minimum floor for paying extra for a higher floor - so we asked and where moved to floor 27. The door staff where brilliant and the maids come twice a day to clean the room and then a second visit later ont o turn the beds over.

A great hotel - well worth the extra to have a haven in NYC.

We stayed at the Sofitel from May 10-15th. The location is wonderful! It is very close to Times Square, Grand Central, Empire State, Rockefeller Center and so many other attractions. The hotel is beautiful. We stayed in a room with a queen bed on the 14th floor. The room is a decent size, especially in NYC, complete with robes and slippers to lounge in. The bathroom is huge!! I would definitely recommend staying at the Sofitel & would go back in a heartbeat on our next visit to NYC.

We stayed at the Sofitel from April 30 till May 5 and we absolutely loved it. Having never visited New York and given the number of hotels in the city, my husband and I felt it was very difficult to choose. Eventually, we decided to try the Sofitel, because of the location and the good reviews we read on this site. We arrived late in the evening, we had no problem with the check in and our room felt warm and cozy. It was on the 23rd floor and we had a view of the Chrysler building. The bathroom was really nice, one of the best ever seen in a hotel. The bed very comfortable, the room nice and clean. We had breakfast in the hotel twice and we absolutely loved it. We also had room service and there again everything was excellent. In the lobby there is a little internet room which can be used by hotel guests (very handy, when you're in vacation and don't carry your laptop with you). The location is perfect: most interesting sights are within walking distance (Grand Central Station, Times Square, Fifth Avenue..) I just loved every minute I spent there.

Stayed at the Sofitel Midtown and enjoyed very comfortable quiet rooms with a great selection of the latest release movies (Great for those early morning wake ups coming from Europe!).

The location was fine with a short walk to Time Square, Grand Central and the the classic American shopping on 5th Avenue.
