Carlton Arms Hotel

Unclaimed

Absolutely lovely hotel to stay at! All of the rooms in the hotel are individually painted by different artists, so you are sure to have a one of a kind, memorable experience. You get to choose your room to a certain degree, so you can pick the kind of vibe you are comfy with. The hotel is situated in the Kips Bay area, which is full of great sights, small parks and square, amazing food places and deli’s. Plus, it is very close to many touristy spots (we’re talking less than 20 minutes to get to the Empire State Building) The staff are super lovely and helpful. Depending on the time of year, you can even get a tour of the other rooms in the hotel. Highly recommend a stay here if you’re an open-minded, artsy individual

Very vintage! Has a cool vibe to the place. Every floor has a well defined theme. Rooms are great for the price you pay. It’s centrally located close to Madison square park. Has a water fountain and coffee in the lobby. Tidy rooms and good mattresses. No elevators. Friendly kitty in the lobby also adds to its charm!

Decent rooms but definition of basic. Very cheap rates and there isn't a security deposit which is very handy. Heating was on in the entire building and the room we got was literally a sauna when we entered. Almost couldn't breathe. Cat in lobby is cute. Location is convenient but a 30-40 minute walk from port authority if you're visiting. Staff are friendly. Shared bathroom we used was well kept. Old building from 1860 or something so prepare yourself for the tiny rooms and hallways. Overall, a good budget place to stay.

It's great for what it is, an affordable place to sleep in Flatiron. There are a lot of stairs. The rooms are very small and basic, but the beds are comfortable. Most rooms use shared bathrooms. There is street art on every wall, and there is an extremely friendly cat that hangs out in the lobby so you can pet him.

I appreciate the location of the Carlton Arms Hotel, with subway stations and buses just a short walk away. Most of the hotel staff were friendly and responsive to my requests, including darker curtains, more hangers, and a room on the first floor instead of the fourth. I have stayed at the hotel several times.
