Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
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. While some guests have found the rooms compact, the convenience of nearby breakfast options like Starbucks and good value are appreciated. The availability of air conditioning is another plus, as well as rooms facing the 35th street that offer beautiful natural light.

small roomstreet noise
The room size bordered on comical. I seemed 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. It was a good workout though. At least the location was central.

Excellent Location and Friendly Staff

great locationfriendly staffclean 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 looked quite narrow, definitely not what i expected.
