Reviews and Ratings
My stay at The Carlyle Hostel was like a nostalgic journey to my college days traveling around Europe, reminding me of cheap hotels and youth hostels. The rooms lived up to their name and tradition, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, though the price could be a bit high for some travelers.
Staying at The Carlyle Hostel was like a nostalgic journey back to my college days backpacking through Europe, with some ups and downs. The rooms felt like a throwback and could use an update to meet the Rosewood standard.
I couldn't believe how beautiful the room was, one of the best I've stayed in the US. The check-in time was a bit late at 4:00, but all the staff we met were perfect. The hotel needs a makeover, but it's in a great location.
The Carlyle Hostel is a mix of nostalgia and charm, reminding me of budget accommodations in Europe with its simple design. The floral accents add a touch of coziness, but some signs of wear are evident. Overall, it's a decent budget option with character.
Staying at the hotel felt like stepping back in time with a quick elevator ride to our 19th-floor room, although the noise forced us to relocate. Despite being close to outside noise, the hotel's central location was ideal for exploring the Upper East Side.
The Carlyle is superbly located just off Madison Avenue, offering a fantastic experience if you know what you're looking for. The rooms may need a facelift, with country-style wallpaper in the higher tower section, but the views across 76th street of Central Park are nice. Although the room was a bit small for a deluxe king, it was still a decent stay overall.
The hotel is really not up to their name and tradition in terms of room quality, located in the tower. The service was incredibly accommodating, especially from Arianna Johnson. The location suited us perfectly for this particular trip, though it may not be the place for a first-time visitor. The dining experience was delicious, worth lingering over, despite some wasted food items. The facilities were good overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though offering exquisite views, didn't quite live up to the expectations, being on the small side despite being labeled 'deluxe king'. On the bright side, the service was superb, with little surprises every day and incredibly resourceful staff, especially Arianna Johnson. The location was superb for exploring the Upper East Side but had its quirky charm with the tiny elevator. The dining experience was satisfying, with a variety of breakfast options to enjoy. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout positives.
Staying at The Carlyle was like stepping back in time for a 30-second ride up to or down from our 19th-floor room, adorned with flowers and signs. The location is excellent for exploring the Upper East Side and the heart of the Madison Ave shopping district. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with food going to waste, and the price point may not offer the best value for money.
The Carlyle retains its special charm with beautifully decorated and luxurious rooms, yet some areas like drapes and coffee makers could use updating. The service was friendly and efficient, ranging from reception to the bartender. The location is fantastic, especially for those clear on what they seek in NYC. The dining experience offers a variety, though improvement could be made in food wastage. The facilities are top-notch overall.

My stay at The Carlyle Hostel was a mixed bag. The rooms reminded me of the cheap hotels and youth hostels I stayed in while traveling around Europe in college. I had a partial view across 76th street of Central Park, which was nice, but the room was small, even though it was labeled as a 'deluxe king. ' The service, however, was fantastic despite the color of the curtains. The location was great for the Met and other Upper East Side attractions but might not be suitable for first-time visitors. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited breakfast options. The facilities were decent overall.

Staying at this hotel was such a delightful experience! The rooms, though needing a bit of an update to match the Rosewood standard, were beautifully decorated and provided a tranquil environment that made me want to recreate it at home. The service was top-notch, with highly qualified staff always ready to assist with anything. The location, perfect for our trip, offered easy access to great shopping, dining, and Central Park. However, the dining experience, though full of options, fell short on multiple levels.
