to get started.

I loved the hotel! I felt chic, quiet and boutique. I was incredibly relaxed there and everything from checking in to ordering food to be delivered was seamless. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Even though the room had no toilet (it had a sink), my stay was wonderful. Everything was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely return to the Seton!

Sweet little boutique hotel. Clean, comfortable and accommodating 👍👍👍

Paula

The room was small but comfortable and clean. The bed had plenty of pillows and the blankets were warm. There was coffee and tea provided in the morning which was a nice touch! It was a perfect place to stay for one night in the city.

Rebekah

This boutique hotel is delightfully anachronistic. The architecture (narrow doorways and halls, key entry) and European decor remind one of the city's heydays. Amenities are sparse but all the modern essentials are there: toiletries, tv, ac, free coffee, etc. Our King room had one of the largest, cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a NYC hotel room (at this price point, certainly). Along with the exceptional location (minutes from Grand Central and Times Square) and low price point, Seton is an excellent value.

Great location. Rooms were always cleaned when we went out into the city to explore. I like that we could get packages delivered to the hotel and no holding charge was given to us by the hotel. The hotel staff also offered to move a desk out of our room so we could have more space for our baggage. Honestly very impressed.

The location is excellent, the staff was pleasant, the shower was modern with great water pressure, the room was clean, the room decor was nicely done. Bed was comfy, made good use of space. Pretty "front parlor". Boutique feel, thanks for the AM coffee.

Location is fantastic. Easy to walk to many attractions. Around the corner from Grand Central, blocks from the New York public library, St Patrick’s cathedral, Bryant Park, close to NYU. Beds were very comfy, bathroom was large for NY, we paid more to have our own rather than shared but there were multiple bathrooms on our floor if we had picked that option and they were always clean and open from what I could tell. Price is great for New York. Staff was friendly, especially Brendan. We will definitely be back again.

No coffee facility after 11am. No hot water kettle in room. Coffee only available downstairs near reception between 8-11am. Room was very small for 4 people. Expensive accommodation, but close to the main downtown of Manhattan.
They kept out suitcases in a storage room after we checked out, so we could spend more time in the city before we left. As the room was to the back, the view was not very nice, just another building from the back.

“Idyllic quiet space right in the heart of NYC.”

I was in the room next to the shared bathroom, so despite the fact that I had an ensuite and my own space, I did have to listen to others clunking around in the bathroom at all times of day/night, which was less desirable. At times it woke me up at night.

Location was great. Our room however was very hot and we only found out as we were leaving that we could have asked the staff to turn it down. Very pleasant staff. One concierge always gave me tea even when it was passed the tea/coffee time.

“Excellent location !”
- • Business trip

At this price, the hotel should provide an electric kettle in a room, and a tea/coffee cup (two disposable plastic cups provided on a daily basis cannot be used with hot water). The hotel provides complimentary morning coffee at a coffee machine downstair, but I wish the hotel can do better with only little more cost. Especially in a cold weather like December, having hot tea/coffee at end of the day in a room would make a day complete. (I needed to borrow a kettle from my friend who lives there). The room interior is in a very dark tone, and I personally don't find it very pleasant, although I understand that it is the intended style of the hotel. Other than the above, the hotel could be the best choice for my future business trips.
The location is ideal because it is very close to my office. The staff are helpful and efficient.

The key to the room came on a key chain with a rather large paddle on it. When you left the hotel you were required to turn in your key to the front desk. It was a rather weird practice that I have never had to do anywhere else.

Street noise comes through into the room very easily. Inconsiderate hotel guests, who yell, laugh and scream at 3am in the night, after returning from the nightlife. I would like the hotel to introduce and enforce stricter policies against that.
Rooms and bathroom very clean. A leaking sink was quickly resolved by giving me a different room and one that’s actually an upgrade. Wifi is also very fast and easy to login, and doesn’t expire like at many other hotels.

The in-room heating system was a little noisy through the night but still functional.
Located 5mins walk from Grand Central station. Very close and convenient to many major attractions. Friendly staff. Free coffee/tea facilities from 0600-1100. Very comfortable and clean. A very well rated and popular diner (Scotty’s) across the road and very convenient. A small boutique style hotel with basic amenities but providing the necessities and overall, a good stay.

Was devastated to find as I was packing to leave that the cleaners had thrown out a paper bag that I had been collecting my souvenirs in, about $50 of Lego, a Christmas bauble etc. The room was small and the bag was on the floor so I presume they thought it was rubbish but this ruined my trip as I had no time to re-buy anything. The staff made some effort to hunt it down but it was long gone apparently.
It was small and basic accommodation, but who goes to NY to hang out in their hotel room?! The location was perfect within walking distance of most attractions but also close to the subway for the ones further away. Had a shared bathroom which was fine, there were two on the floor so I never had to wait to use one and they were kept very clean.
