Review summary

Based on recent reviews

U Hotel Fifth Avenue impresses many guests with its prime location, steps away from the Empire State Building and within easy walking distance of Grand Central Station and Herald Square. The cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms is frequently mentioned as a positive, and having a refrigerator along with free water is a welcome amenity.

small room street noise

The room size bordered on comical. I was like I was in a meticulously organized shoebox. Street noise was a constant companion, a symphony of sirens and honking , made sleep a luxury. The promised city views turned out to be mostly scaffolding and the backs of other buildings. the sole elevator seemed to operate on its own schedule. It was a good workout though. At least the location was central.

great location friendly staff clean room

I appreciated the location very much, close to attractions (i even went to Central Park). The staff was always helpful and friendly . They took care of my bags before check-in. I received an email letting me know that the room was ready early, which i appreciate. The room was comfortable and clean.

The hallways was quite narrow, definitely not what i expected.
