Worth every penny

The Sofitle is a quiet modern hotel tucked between 44th and 45 th streets within 100 yards of 5th Avenue shopping. It has good access to Times Square and local restaurants and is close to main attractions in mid-town. The rooms are mid-size, modern and spacious. It is one of the few hotels in New York with decent size baths as opposed to the ubiquitous US-style shower tubs. The bar is good but the restaurant is of a standard hotel type rather than being an independent destination though it is a favourite for business breakfats.

Very nice hotel, beautiful atmosphere, friendly & accomodating staff, great bar, good food, close walk to all we wanted to enjoy in New York...Everything we wanted for a relaxing & romantic extended weekend.

I have stayed at other Sofitel's and similar to their other locations, the accomodations were excellent. The lobby was beautiful, staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable. I was very satisfied with my experience and will definetely elect to stay here again. Highly recommended

Excellent hotel, walkable to the empire stae bulding, top of the rock and other great attractions, the resturant is not that bad but a little overpriced and the bar is chilled out.

I was disappointed that, though we paid for a 'deluxe king room' we were placed on a low floor. I find that many hotels relegate those who book online to slightly less desireable rooms.

Beautiful, great location, the resturant (Gaby's) was delicous. So good, we had more than one meal there. It turns out they have more hotel all over the world, and we will look for them in any future travel. Thank for a great stay...

We have just celebrated my wifes 50th birthday in New York and guided by these sort of reviews we picked an absolute peach of a hotel. Between 5th Avenue and Broadway the locationof the hotel is excellent, central and believe it or not quiet despite all that is going on around. We received a complementary upgrade to the 26th floor with a superb view of the Chrysler Building and other landmarks. We also received a New York Cheescake in our room wishing my wife a happy birthday. It's these sorts of touches that make a holiday memorable and Sofitel got this absolutely right. The room was comfortable and cleaned daily - we couldn't find fault with it. All the staff we came into contact with desk staff, concierge, door staff and room staff were polite and helpful at all times.

Outstanding hotel - far exceeded expectations-would definitely stay there again

The location was prime a block and half from Times Square. Service was excellent and the beds were extremely confortable. Room service and bar services was a bit pricey, but expected. Overall, it's my hotel of choice when I visit NYC again.

Rented a suite for my girlfriend's birthday and had a GREAT stay. very big and spacious, nice bathroom and tvs. bed was very plush. would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

The only complaint I have about this hotel is the size of rooms, although this is common throughout Manhattan. Great service, bed etc..

Hotel was beautiful, amenities lovely and the staff very helpful and gracious.

First of all, I have to say I chose this hotel based upon the reviews of others on Hotels.com so I figured I should contribute a review myself of my two day stay. Overall, have to say we were very pleased with our choice and I'd definately stay at Sofitel again. Hotel staff were friendly, hotel location was within walking distance of everything and the location was in a tad bit quieter section which is something that was definately welcomed after fighting crowds all day and night. Room was clean...nice flatscreen TV in the room...but honestly, we didn't spend too much time in the room beyond sleeping. And I have to agree with other reviewers....these beds are some of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. Overall, I think the reviews in general on hotels.com are pretty representative of what Sofitel offers. Was perfectly happy with our choice.

An enjoyable stay at an elegant hotel.

While certainly not cheap, the Sofitel is crisp, clean and well designed. The staff is brisk and efficient. Very good location. Not at all noisy for midtown New York. A very good value.

Posh in every way. Must experience when staying in N.Y.C.

The hotel itself is extremely nice and the staff/service are excellent. The room was very nice, also. The bed felt like a cloud and I slept like a baby. The bathroom is huge and separate shower is a major bonus. My relatively minor gripes are twofold. One, I was in a room situated close to the elevators and I could hear them as I nodded off to sleep. I suppose I could understand why, given the very low rate I paid and the fact that it was my first stay there. But, it is a gripe, nonetheless. Second, the workspace is tight. There was hardly enough room to have my laptop, mouse, and some papers spread out without pushing right up next to the TV. Speaking of which, the TV is literally within 2' of you when you sit down to work. I wonder if there was any other setup possible.

We enjoyed our stay.

A very nice a wellcoming hotel with a gracious staff. They made us and our Bulldog quite welcome. The parking fee was a bit spendy, but I suppose not overly so for downtown NYC.

The atmosphere, the room, the employees, the service, the food, and everything in between was fantastic. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Upper side of luxury for location near time square. Restaurant menu could have more varity. Food was good, just watch the coffee or it may be the french touch.

Hotel lived up to the Sofitel Experience

This was a European style hotel right off of Times Square. The location is excellent and as usual, that's what you pay for. I had a free night but would have had to pay close to $400 what I consider a regular room. The bed was very plush and comfortable but not what I would call "luxury". Beautiful granite in the bathroom and very friendly staff everywhere. The $10 internet was reasonable.

I stayed initially in the queen "oh so attractive" room. Dont' do it. For a few dollars more, you can buy yourself a king size bed and therefore 50 or 70 more square feet, so you can actually breathe, and then take in the beauty of the surroundings and excitement of the neighborhood. I did complain and I was granted an upgrade. This is generous but also should be expected, in my book. Overall the hotel feels spacious for NYC and although the restaurant is pricey, the art is worthy, a Folon sculpture in the lobby, and the people, well, some employees are respectful and some are not all that attentive or friendly. Still, a find for Manhattan. Would recommend it.

I have 3 requirements - quiet room, comfy bed and pillows and self-regulated thermostat (difficult to find in N.Y.) This hotel gets 5 stars on all three!!!

It's not the biggest or fanciest hotel but is utterly elegant, upscale, mellow and quiet, with out of this world service. Unlike other NY hotels, they don't know the word "no" when you ask for something (within reason). If you need help with something, they make it happen. I also like that it seemed to be business travellers rather than tourists, so there were no kids.

Arrived after 3:00pm and found that not only was my room ready they had upgraded me to a suite on the 27th floor with a great view of the Chrysler Building. Hotel staff was great and made us feel like home which is unusual for New York City hotels. Resturaunt was excellent although a little pricey. No question the Sofitel is the nicest hotel I have stayed in in New York.

We stayed in a Luxury King and the room was lovely. 400 sq ft, marble bathroom with seperate shower and bath, 37 inch widescreen tv, comfy king bed which was sooo soft it was unreal. Room service is a bit expensive but only to be expected from a top class hotel. Concerige were brillant, full of information and always willing to help. This hotel was two blocks from Times Square, perfect location for being in NY. Most things easily walked to from this hotel except Soho, Little Italy, Wall Street areas etc. For a good breakfast there is a great diner on the same road as the hotel (front entrance not back). All in all a great hotel, you could not be disappointed if you stayed here.

This is a great hotel, in every way.

this hitel is perfect for a stay in the heart of new york.

The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and we enjoyed our stay. The only complaint was that $50. a night for our car was a bit higher than other hotels.

The room was sizable however decoration seemed uninspired. Staying at hotels in New York often, I'm used to receiving a copy of the times outside my door every morning. I was somewhat disappointed to find US Today, not outside of my door but by the elevator and only on some days. The gym facility in the hotel was extensive and up to date. I was displeased with the lack of a locker room. I changed into my gym clothes in a bathroom stall during which the automatic toilet flushed repetitively. Overall not a bad hotel but I've had much better rooms for less money at other places.

Hotel is well located, well maintained and has a very acommodating staff. Room furnishings could use a little freshning. Would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding hotel. Great value for the money. Many superb restaurants within walking distance. Staff are helpful, friendly, and courteous! Would stay at this hotel again. You will not be disappointed! The only negative I can think of is the shower door opens in... which gave us very little room to enter and exit the shower stall, very tight squeeze! Also, bathroom doors are not private, there is a one inch gap between double doors that do not lock, so anyone in the room walking past the bathroom can look in! But overall, very beautiful hotel!

Beautiful room, great location, pleasant staff. Will stay there again!

Knew this hotel was rated highly but was very impressed with everything, especially for the price. For us it was the best location possible in a super city, and the large comfortable rooms for this price are rare.

The bathroom and bedding smelled like cigarette smoke. As an ex-smoker it was kinda annoying. The hotel staff were pleasant enough. Overall the hotel was just “okay”.

Sofitel is a beautiful Art-Deco hotel in the heart of mid-town Manhattan and, for the incredible price (which was better than a lot of less-desireable hotels), was a fabulous retreat after a day of work!

wouldnt go again can do better. service poor at times

sofitel is always a class act. I heartily recommend it. also, this restaurant had an excellent menu.

Great, friendly, helpful staff. The bathroom and room was big and very comfortable.

It was a pleasure to stay at Sofitel, NY. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The hotel room was very comfortable, quiet and had a really nice view. The bathroom was very clean and it was great for both taking baths and showers. Bed was extremely comfortable. The biggest surprise was how quiet it was for being in midtown. Location made it possible to walk everywhere. I'd definitely stay at this hotel again!

had to change rooms because it was too cold...shouldn't have put us their in the first place. other than that it was well worth the price.

We stayed at the Sofitel for the timesquare new years eve celebrations so the location was fantastic- The room was big,clean,well designed,the bed was the most comfortable i've slept in and its the only holiday that we didn't want to come home from, and staying at the Sofitel played a large part in this. Definately recommend this hotel. Only -ve point was the room service breakfast which was $60 and not worth it at all, try the deli's instead.

we went to ny for new years and this was the perfect hotel, we were in walking distants of everything we wanted to see. time square is just right down the road and there were good restraunts in the area of the hotel as well. I was very impressed with the hotel and would of loved to stay longer. the bed made it hard to get out of in the mourning it was so comfortable, had a great time and the hotel was a major part of it.

Very good location, easy walking to many major attractions yet on a quiet street. Beautiful room, extremely clean and comfortable. The lobby could use a lounge or something to make it a bit more social, but I didn't really intend to spend much time in the lobby I guess. I would definitely return to this hotel!

Love the location and service

The hotel has a great location, service and is very well maintained. It is a smaller hotel with a strong French connection and without the commotion associated with some of the larger hotels. Still an expensive place to lodge.

Second stay here and was impressed again by the hotel - very comfortable rooms, flat screen TV, BOSE sound system and very comfortable bed.

My wife and i stayed in the sofitel, New york for 5 nights in november. First impression of the hotel was what a great choice we have made. The hotel lobby was very impressive. Room was lovely. It was spotless clean with beautiful white linen on the bed. Location was excellent, between fifth and sixth avenue. We did not have breakfast in the hotel as it was quite expensive, but we went each morning to the Red Flame diner which was only a few doors from the hotel. There you receive a substantial breakfast and wonderful new york hospitality. Would highly recommend the sofitel. We will be back

Well situated for mid town. Very clean and comfortable room - helpful and friendly staff. A pleasant stay in centre of town.

The Soffitel is one of the best hotels i have ever stayed in, it is a very clean and friendly hotel the staff are very helpful and nothing is too much for them, it is placed in an excellent position easy for shopping and sightseeing, will stay again and definatley recommend this hotel.

Hotel was very stylish and comfortable. The room, while a tad bit smaller than expected (we booked a superior w/ king), was the perfect blend of modern sophistication and warm soothing tones. We hardly spent time in the room anyway what with all there is to do in NY. Large flat screen tv was nice, though. Bathroom was most impressive. Staff was great and very accomodating, starting with the valet who took our bags and right up through check out. Will definitely stay there again.

Wonderful hotel and staff, nothing too much trouble. Great location, would recommend a stay here to anybody. Hope to come back one day. The beds are out of this world. Breakfast was perfect although a little on the expensive side, however, concidering the location it was good value.

The personnel at the hotel was extraordinary making the stay very enjoyable. From the concierges, bellmen, front desk; everyone made themselves available to help one navigate the city with a warmth and friendliness that was welcoming. The ambiance, decor and maintenance of the hotel is very warm and well kept. The location is perfect; very close to Times Square and Broadway. My son and I really enjoyed our stay at the Sofitel Hotel.

We were on honeymoon in NYC and stayed for 5 nights at the Sofitel. We received a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate the occasion. The hotel is in an excellent location and the restaurant was top quality. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

Well located, attentive servie, extremely clean and well kept. Shall return.

Very nice hotel, excellent location, predictably French character. However the location of the room within the hotel was seriously disappointing - no view, which wasn't too much of a problem - but right next to the lift shaft so constant low level noise. Was that the explanation of the "good" price?

the hotel was superb, 2 blocks from times square and 1 block from 5th ave which is as centre as you can get. the hotel is very clean and the staff are welcoming and helpfull.

This was our first visit to New York and got our choice of hotel spot on. The hotel offered the same high standards that we found when staying at Soffitel hotels in Hua Hin in Thailand and Delatt in Vietnam. Tastefully decorated room with flat screen TV and Bose radio and helpful staff all helped to make our stay memorable. When we return to the Big Apple we will look no further and stay at this hotel.

we stayed in the sofitel end of sept and we could not fault this hotel. Its location is great, round the corner from everything.Although its location is so central you would not hear a sound at night.The room was beautiful and spotless.The maid comes in twice a day,once to clean and later on to turn down the bed and turn on soft music.All in all a great hotel great staff and I would certainly stay there again if I was visiting New York.

Even though the room was not as large as some, the entire stay was very enjoyable. Within a few blocks to both Time Square and Grand Central Station. The breakfast was superb with Authentic French Press Coffee and fresh squeezed juices. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We will staff there again when we return to New York.

What a surprise to see that with so many american hotel chains, this french hotel surpasses the american comfort. However the prices for room service are to steep, therefore we did not use that service. I would like to mention that the personel was always willing to help in anyway possible from the bellboy to the bartender to the manager. I highly recomend this hotel,a touch of a night chocolate with the surround "bose" music player in the room will make it perfect.

I stayed at the Soffitel for three nights, and each one was perfect. There is nothing I would suggest to improve this hotel. I am a cleaniness freak, and I was completely satisfied. Of course, the price is high. Nonetheless, this would be my first choice for future trips to New York.

Very nice hotel I will definitely be back!

The beds are extremly comfortable and I loved the showers. To me, those are two of the most important things about a hotel.

Very clean and undated by Manhattan standards. The trick to staying in Manhattan is finding that hotel that is clen and undated, yet not super expensive. This hotel falls right in that are, though leans a little towards the pricy side. Some of the mid-range rooms are fairly decently priced though, if available.

My new favorite hotel in New York City.

.....and service in this 5 star hotel!

The Sofitel was an outstanding hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and as a result we only 'cabbed' three times - two being to and from the airport. The staff was extremely courteous and welcoming and the concierge pleasant and very willing to answer any question. The only slight negative is that the closet is very small as I tend to need a larger space.

I am really satisfied with this hotel. Fantastic location, clean and very nicely trained staff. Price is understandable for 4 star and New York, I guess. A little bit of renovation needs to be made.Minor! I will absoultely stay sofitel chain hotel anywhere.

My wife and I enjoyed the hotel, where it was located and although the room was a little small it and the bed were extremely comfortable. It appeared to be in a very safe area with shopping all around you. Cab fares anywhere in the city never exceeded $15. We will stay there again when visiting New York!
