Hotel Sofitel New York in New York

Wonderful attentive staff. Excelent location. Amazing room view.

The hotel was in an excellent location - so close to Times Square, some great food, theatres, Grand Central Station and 5th Avenue! The hotel was spotlessly clean - all public areas and our room itself. We were exhausted when we arrived and were met by a very welcoming Receptionist who gave us a 'lovely quiet room' on the 16th floor (we chose a superior […] room - floors 15 - 29 - so that we had some views) The room was brilliantly quiet - at the back of the hotel. We were even able to open a window and still weren't disturbed! The bed was like a cloud - so comfortable with a mattress topper, fluffy duvet and great pillows. Bathroom was very spacious with L'Occitane products. Fabulous shower (bath was fairly short and shallow, but perfectly funtional). Bathrobes and slippers provided along with complimentary water in the evenings. Iron and ironing board in the wardrobe and powerful hairdryer in the bathroom. In-room safe available at no extra cost. Travel adapter provided in the desk drawer. Lovely platter of fruit left for us in our room when we got back on the first day. We didn't eat in the restaurant, but had a couple of drinks in the bar (pretty pricey). Great diner just out of the hotel to the right and a few doors down called The Red Flame - great for breakfast as we stayed room only. I have already recommended the hotel and would definitely stay in it again. Lees meer

Lovely hotel in great location. My king size room was large and well appointed with a fabulous bathroom. We stayed on the 9th floor and the room was very quiet with a very comfortable bed. Only slight complaint was room service was very expensive at $26 for two coffees!

I booked two rooms at the Sofitel. On check-in we had a problem when they could not find our 2nd booking. It looked to be a problem, until Albert appeared and fixed it. He even upgraded our rooms and then helped with a late check-out for one room. I have stayed at the W on 47th, W at Union Square, Briant Park and The Palace which are all great hotels […] but this is the best. The Sofitel on 44th St will be my Hotel of choice for future visits. Location is perfect, rooms are great, lobby is good and bar and restaurant great ;-)) Lees meer

Its a great hotel, its just so over priced.

The hotel was located close to the theater district and just a few blocks from Times Square. The staff was very professional and helpful and there are numerous restaurant options close by. We would gladly stay here again in the future.

We have stayed in a lot of high end hotels world wide, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised at how good the food we had for breakfast (room service) was. It was quite good. The coffee needs some work, but the food was good.

We were there last weekend for my husband's 50th b-day. Everything was perfect and then some. They upgraded up to a one bedroom suite which was phenomenal (and they didn't know it was his b-day at this point). I did happen to mention to an employee that my husband's b-day was the next day and they were kind enough to send a slice of yummy cake and chocolate […] covered strawberries to our room with happy birthday written in chocolate on the plate. The bathroom and toiletries were exceptional as well. Only regret is that we didn't try the restaurant. Too busy running around. I should note that the chef did win Chopped so if you are a fan of the show you should check it out. Also the concierge recommended a very good Family Style Italian rest. for us that was kid friendly; food was delish! Tony DiNapoli's - was close to hotel. Highly recommend it. We also really enjoyed The Red Flame Diner close to the hotel. For best NY cheesecake you must try Juniors near Toys r Us in Times Square too!!! Lees meer

We were thrilled from the first minute we walked into the Sofitel lobby. It was a stunning Art Deco style with beautiful fresh flowers all around. They staff were always friendly and helpful. The room was really nicely decorated and had everything we needed. If we asked for anything we got it immediately. There wasn't a real view but that was ok because […] it was quiet being in the middle of the block. The hotel was close to everything. There's a Starbucks 2 doors down. We were 2 blocks from Time Square and about an equal distance from The Chrysler building, Grand Central Station,Rockafeller Center and St Patrick's. Close enough to get there easily. I can't think of one thing I would change. This hotel was perfect and I highly recommend it. Quiet, classy, clean and friendly. PERFECT. Lees meer

The concierge could have been a bit friendlier and more helpful in helping us book reservations but the friendly and helpful doorman/front desk staff definitely made up for it. The location is great - close enough to Times Square and 5th Avenue; yet far enough to get away from the crowds. We ordered room service a couple of times for late night snacks […] and the food was great! The gym could be a bit more spacious but I'm happy the hotel had a gym! Overall, it was a great experience. Thanks - will definitely be back to visit :) Lees meer

The hotel is ideally positioned off 5th avenue on 44th street which is 2 blocks down from the Times square subway. Though not inexpensive the hotel maintains high standards in terms of customer service, quality of food and standard of bedding which was amongst the most comfortable I have experienced in a hotel. Room service was prompt and the food was […] good quality and hot ! The front desk were very helpful taking time to explain the geography of NY and also provided a useful map. The doorman was particularly helpful and arranged a return car back to Newark airport. He also explained that it was cheaper to request a car from NY rather than New Jersey as the taxi drivers from NJ could not pick up a return ride from NY and therefore had to cover the return toll fares. Worth knowing for a future visit as it saved circa $30. Overall we had a very enjoyable week. For anyone visiting NY I would recommend to purchase a New York pass as it not only makes it easier to access sightseeing attractions but saves money. The passes can be collected from Planet Hollywood which is 5 mins walk from the hotel. Dependent upon the length you have I would also recommend a subway 4 or 7 day pass. Whilst the best way to see NY is on foot, unless you have the stamina of an Olympic athlete there are times when to get around quickly it is the best option. Taxis are great but can be very expensive particularly when the traffic is dense. We would certainly use the Sofitel again. Oh and the Frick museum is worth a visit if you like Art and want to see how the very wealthy lived in the early 1900's in Upper Manhattan . It is one of the few museums not covered by the NY pass. Entrance was $16 ea. Lees meer

Highly recommended. Great location, very helpful staff plus a bed that is the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Am considering buying one from their online store.

I was in NYC for a pleasure trip with my 16 yr. old daughter, celebrating her birthday. I've stayed in 2 other hotels on other trips to NYC, and the Sofitel is by far my favorite. We took a red eye flight to NYC, and arrived at the hotel at 7 a.m. I was expecting to have to wait until check-in time to get into our room, but we were pleasantly surprised […] when we were able to occupy our room right then. All staff are warm and gracious, greeting you each time you leave or arrive. The concierge was extremely helpful and pleasant. The hotel restaurant, Gaby, is pricey, but the service was impeccable. A waiter took our picture for us when I told him we were celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday. Later that night, when we returned to our room after a show, we found a beautiful plate of French desserts with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate on the plate - it had to be that nice waiter. The lobby is filled with beautiful fresh flowers, and the ambience is very European. We heard many languages being spoken by guests and staff alike. It was a wonderful experience for my daughter. On top of everything, the location is perfect - between 5th and 6th avenues. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Lees meer

This review is based on expectations from the ratings we read before our trip. Nice hotel, but nothing special. Stayed at the Millenium last year for a similar rate and would reccommend that before here based on it being closer to time square and just as nice in our opinion. Upon check-in we were told we had a nice room on a higher level floor that […] wasn't quite ready for us, and then when we returned later in the day to get our room keys they had us on the 4th floor. Needless to say we didn't have a view, but may not have had one on the original floor we had been told either(would have had a better chance of it at least). Overall a very nice hotel, but we expected more by the ratings it received. Lees meer

Great location, very clean room, overpriced food and breakfast., very quit.

You can reach the 24 living times square in 2 minutes by walk , very clean , very helpfull , very comfortable + very very ... I stayed 7 nights with my wife , it was excellent , when i come to new york again , i will definetely stay here..

having stayed before and at other Sofitels in DC and Philly...continue to plan to return whenever possible..not quite Pais...but a sweet reminder of my favorite city...

They couldn't have been nicer from giving me a room on a high floor to helping me in any way, They found an earring that I left behind and are sending it to me. Whatever request I made was taken care of immediately

This was our hotel of choice as we were not disappointed the first we stayed there 2 years ago. The service was exceptional and we'll definitely stay there again! The children have requested another New Years Eve experience at Time Square so the family will be making another booking soon.

beautiful hotel. small mistake in wake up call at 5 am. ouch.

The hotel was in a really great location in midtown - close to Rockefeller Center and transportation. The hotel was very clean and modern and the staff was friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Was told i was getting jacuzzi...did not...in fact, the water was green in the tub i did get...complained...they laughed and told me that is new york. hotel was nice but dont go for tub room.

Service lacks sincerity. Stayed for a couple of nights for a family celebration. Leaky bathroom pipes resulted in drenched carpet/floor. If you are considering picking this hotel for its location, be forewarned that it's located on a street where cabs don't go through that often (we learned it the hard way). Overall, regretted staying here -we've had […] much better experiences at lesser priced hotels in NYC. Lees meer

Great location, fashionable room, and helpful staff. I super recommend this hotel. Thank you.

We could smell cigarret smoke from next room around our bedboard, closet, and bathroom. Sounds from neighboring rooms were not really sound proof. We could hear a baby crying all night. We didn't hear any from outside, though. Otherwise, we loved the hotel. We loved how freindly and helpful the staff were, how beautiffuly fresh floweres were arrange […] in the lobby area, and how the room and bathroom were layed out. Nice hotel. They even had a fresh orchid in our bathroom. We will stay here whenever we come back to NY. Lees meer

We had a wonderful time. They had a room ready for us when we arrived from a red eye flight and allowed us a late check out which was very helpful. They assisted us in our plans and always with kindness. The room was very nice as well.

Of all my expenses in New York, this was the best bang for the buck. Friendly and professional staff made everything right from check in to check out. Had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant. Bed was ultra comfortable. Spacious room was an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city life. First class hotel!

The rooms were a great size for NYC. The beds were SO amazingly comfortable. LOVED the bathroom and shower. LOVED the location. The restaurant was delicious and the staff were SO friendly and helpful. LOVED the location too. I would stay there again in a minute!!!!!

Hard to beat the Sofitel if you can get a good rate. 2 blocks east of Times Square, provides you with easy access to all Broadway shows and is well located for 5th ave. shoping. The rooms are very nice sized (for NY) and the bedding is very confortable. The bathrooms are marble and have both a glass shower and bathtub. Nice storage and true HD TV (for […] some channels). Strongly recommend the pre-theater meal ($55) a few blocks away at Aureole Restaurant (42nd St.). Lees meer

Nice hotel, good staff. Stayed there for New Year's Eve but I did not know that in order to enter Times square we'd have to buy tickets for about 350 bucks. If you stay in a Hotel in the same side as Times Square, you'll have access to the street that lead to Times square at no cost.

The Sofitel is a great hotel for anyone wanting to visit Times Square or see a Broadway Show. The quality of the hotel and its proximity to the Theater District is a huge plus. Although we left on Jan 31st and just missed the New Years Eve celebration, the crowds at Times Square were already very large. While only two blocks from Times Square, it was […] just far enough away to escape the noise and madness of the crowds; while still close enough to easily walk to all of the local venues. Moreover, our room, the hotel amenities and service were excellent. Lees meer

First time stayed at hotel -wonderful experience

Besides its great location, Sofitel NY has employees that makes all the diference. They really makes you fell at home even so far away from home! Priceless!
