My wife and I stayed here for 3 days for our anniversary trip. We stayed in a suite with the empire building view. The balcony with the view was amazing. It was great to have our own private balcony with a table and lights to enjoy the view. The room itself was nothing special and a little outdated. It was small, but it is NY so that is to be expected. The hotel felt very safe and was in a great location. I also appreciated the friendliness of the staff that I interacted with. I would stay here again and would recommend getting the balcony with the view!

Stayed here during Christmas season, 6Nights 5Days as were couple most of our day is outside. I recommend this hotel specially the location most of the attractions is walking distance like. Time Square, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Centre, Penn Station, Macy’s Herald Square, Central Park, Edge, Iconic Vessel and the famous street 5FT Avenue. And just outside of the hotel many option of restaurant for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. And the 14 floor of this hotel is a bar over looking of the famous building the Empire State Building. I had a nice stayed in this hotel.

Our stay at The Hotel at Fifth Avenue came together last minute during our blizzard “every mode of transportation in NYC is cancelled” adventure, and it worked out very well. The staff was friendly and efficient, which we especially appreciated given the chaos happening around the city. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location is excellent, right in the middle of everything. As a “just for one night” stay under unexpected circumstances, it fit the bill perfectly and made a stressful situation much easier.

Such a great location if you want to be close to many attractions. We had a fast and easy early checkin. Yes, the rooms were very small, but as people who only need to be at the hotel for sleeping that was fine. It was quiet and clean- exactly what we expect. A bit steep price wise, but you are paying for convenience! Would stay again.

This review is comparing the quality/price of the hotel to other rooms in NYC. If this was in any other city, the grade would be a little worst. The rooms are small, as expected, and the shower could be a little better, specially the cloth courtains. The room was quiet, and the only noises came from other guests slamming their doors. The service was superb, polite and helpfull. No fridge on the room, but there was a nice vending machine and a water dispenser Great location, really close to a lot of great places, and three diferent stations

The Hotel at Fifth Avenue is a luxurious Midtown gem! Rooms are stunning—spacious, elegant design, plush beds, and amazing city views. Service was top-notch: staff incredibly attentive, warm, and proactive. Location is fantastic—steps from Empire State Building, Flatiron District shopping, Madison Square Park, and easy subway access. Perfect upscale stay without the chain feel—great value for the quality. Highly recommend!

We were worried about staying here but we had a wonderful experience. Yes, our room was small, but that didn’t bother us as we weren’t in the room much. Our room was very clean! To me that means a lot! Thank you for a great stay!

Rooms are kind of small and basic but clean. The beds are comfortable. It’d typical of an nyc hotel rooms to be on the smaller side so that doesn’t bother me. It’s very conveniently located. The area feels pretty safe, there are a ton of people walking around everywhere. Tons of restaurants to choose from. If you like korean food you will be in heaven.
