I highly recommend Hotel57. I stayed there with my wife and daughter this past Sunday and Monday. My wife had multiple appointments scheduled at the hospital for special surgery, so we decided to make a trip out of it. Hotel57 was a great choice. I appreciate the extra safety that was provided with the key cards needed to use the elevators. We were given a great room on 16th floor. We also went to see a Broadway show and got a true Manhatten experience. The room was quite,clean and spacious. We were very impressed by how nice the staff was and you cant beat the price.

Great and reasonably-priced boutique hotel close to midtown, Central Park, upscale shops, and lots of eateries. The rooms have comfortable beds, and the hotel has fast elevators, a decent fitness center, a trendy-looking attached bar, and even a small business center.

Loveddddd my stay here for my birthday. The room was clean and the shower water was hot!! Excellent staff and very accommodating. I requested a higher floor but it wasn’t available and the roof top was closed due to construction. That’s not a problem, just means I need to come back in the spring! Location was perfect for everything on my list. Loved my stay. Officially my NY hotel. Thank you Hotel 57!

A clean, honest hotel experience. If you go in with the right expectations, you will not be disappointed. We booked this via a Hotwire Black Friday deal and ended up paying less per night than a hostel, so for us the price was right. If you are looking for the Four Seasons, you may be disappointed. Although the hotel is very safe and clean (just dated), the best part about it is its location. Minutes walk from historic Bloomingdales, great bars, cafes and bodegas. Excellent Swiss chocolate shops, and most all of the major American retail stores within walking distance. Within minutes to the subway lines and even walking back to the subway at 2am was very safe. The rooms are clean and big (just dated), the beds are comfortable but smaller compared to other American hotels however the place was very quiet for NYC standards and we slept very well. The bathroom had great water pressure and they supplied shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer. Rooms come with coffee maker and on the 3rd floor, in the fitness center is a fresh water machine to fill up your water bottles. There really wasn’t any use for the coffee maker, as just outside are countless great cafes to grab a good NYC coffee. If you are here to spend most of your time out and about in the city, while only returning for a good night sleep, this is the hotel for you! Location and price can’t be beat. Special shout out to Daniel who helped us store our luggage and book a cab back to JFK. We would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel 57! I visit New York multiple times a year, and it can be tough to find hotels that are truly good, clean, and feel safe — but this one absolutely checks all the boxes. The rooms were spotless and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, giving us some of the best sleep we've had in a hotel. The location felt very safe and incredibly convenient, with just a 4-minute walk to the subway. The lobby and elevators have a fun retro vibe that adds to the charm of the hotel. We also appreciated the added security of needing a keycard for the elevators as well as having a doorman on duty at all times. Every employee we encountered was kind, helpful, and genuinely accommodating. A bonus perk we loved: filtered water dispensers on multiple floors, making it super convenient to refill our water bottles throughout our stay. Overall, a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely stay here again!

My family stayed here from Dec 20-24. We had a fantastic experience! The front desk was amazing and accommodating when Expedia messed up our reservation. The lobby is beautiful, love the heater upon entering, especially when it's 27 degrees outside. The rooms were clean and well kept. The location was great. Walking distance to several subway entrances for multiple lines, we had a profile view of the Louis Vuitton building which was cool. I already have plans to book here again. Thank you

Loved our stay here! We booked for 5 nights and at first we're a little nervous seeing the historical ratings. We were quickly assured we had made the best decision upon checking in. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They helped explain the additional fees/fares per city ordinances + helped us with our baggage. They were able to give us an early check in despite us not planning for one and showing up unbelievably early. Upon check in, they assisted us with our bags and gave us some great local recommendations. The room matched the description and the water pressure is amazing! We were street facing, but did not have noticeable noise from the street activity below. The location is great for first time visitors - a solid split between upper and lower Manhattan activities. Being so close to 2 different metro stops helped us navigate the city with ease.

Hotel 57 is a solid Midtown choice! Rooms are modern and comfy (nice beds, clean, good lighting), though on the smaller side. Service was friendly—staff helpful with check-in and local tips. Location is excellent: steps from 5th Ave shopping, Central Park South, and quick subway rides to everywhere. Great value for a stylish, convenient stay in prime NYC!
