The coffeemaker is not the best at making its java. Perhaps mini keurigs, or a kettle with instant coffee would work much better. They do have an option of breakfast, which we didn't use, so that may work for other guests better. Also a really good coffee store was just around the corner from the lobby, so that helped! :-)

The staff at The Fifty Sonesta were all welcoming and friendly, in a down to earth manner. Consistency on all staff is a rare thing but the Fifty team was on. The room was very spacious, including the bathroom and extra space for a desk and a lounge like chair. Also, considering it is NYC, the snacks on the reception were fairly priced!

Parts of the room were a little dated and the carpets could do with a clean but nothing that ruined our visit.

The location was very central, close to subway but also walking distance to all Midtown. The rooms were really big for New York standards. All staff we met were very friendly and welcoming. Ice machine on 4th floor. Kitchen was a huge benefit for our family of 5, fridge for drinks, kettle/coffee machine.

Laundry facilities weren’t working for the majority of the time we were there, which made it difficult when needing to wash clothes

Staff were friendly, hotel was clean

Room was very large for NY standards. Located next to a metro line 6, I believe at the end of the block.

A microwave in the room or on the main floor would have been helpful.

The staff was wonderful! Both Romeo and Sammy were very helpful in assisting us in navigating throughout the city. The room was very clean and spacious. The location was about 7 blocks from Times Square, great scenic walk to Times Square. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed 7 nights. The first night we had to stay at a room which was not nice. They said there was not available room and they moved us to our original room one day later. This is understandable but I shouldn’t have paid the same price for the first night.

Location was perfect. Great attractions nearby. Different metro lines are around for easy transportation. Hotel is compact and easy to enter, exit. Room was spacious for a NYC hotel.

Room was not vacuumed for 3 out of 4 days

Staff was so nice. Bed comfortable

Conference room is only open until midnight, and the lobby is small, so there isn't a big area to hang out with friends we were staying with at the Fifty. Tubs are slow to drain. Wall paper in bathroom needs updating. No pool.

The staff is amazing!!! Nice decorations in the lobby. 10 dollars of snacks daily when you book. Pet friendly. Great location! Reasonable price for stay. Free cucumber water in lobby.

More hooks and shelf space.

The room was comfortable but found the bathroom very small. There was no place to lay items.

Breakfast room was awful - only one proper table to eat at, very, very limited selection and was heated like a sauna. The whole downstairs for a voucher that you then take upstairs an hand in on a daily basis was also extremely frustrating

Staff were eminently helpful and reassuring Cleaning was fantastic Location was great - walking distance of a lot of the big ticket items and easy subway access

Stayed in December 2023

Breakfast was included but the eggs looked overcooked and there were no meat options. At almost $1000/night after all the “taxes” were added on, I feel it was too expensive.

Doormen/porters were very friendly and attentive. The beds were comfortable. Mini fridge and microwave good. Location is great, but unfortunately there was construction going on due to a broken gas or water line in street.

Even though the reservation indicated five people, the room was only stocked for two people. We had to ask for more towels, add additional dishware, soap, etc. also, the battery on the safe was low and the shower was not hot because it had a broken diverter. The last item was not able to be fixed during our trip. Some of us had to take luke warm and cold showers because the shower was broken.

Great location, fantastic, response of service. David in particular was really terrific.

You can hear everything in the hallways. Housekeeping let the door slam at least 50 times every morning

Like any hotel in NYC, it is pricey but decent value when traveling with family. Resort fees add up which hurts when you don't use the amenities.

This is our go-to hotel when traveling to NYC with our family. The rooms are spacious, beds are comfy and the staff is pleasant. It is the perfect location for visiting midtown attractions and close to several subway lines when you want to explore other areas.

Great location to walk to any places. Also handy location to subway etc so very easy to get around. Kitchenette in room was handy to make a quick breakfast or snack. Staff friendly and welcoming. Washing machine/dryer available for use in basement
