THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL Reviews

Deeply Disappointed by the Fifth Avenue Hotel – Not Worth the Price I recently stayed in the Mansion Suite at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to celebrate my mother’s birthday—a special occasion for which we spared no expense. At nearly $3,000 per night, we expected exceptional service and attention to detail. What we experienced instead was the most disappointing stay I’ve had at any five-star hotel globally. Unacceptable Restaurant Delay: Despite having a confirmed reservation at the hotel’s restaurant for my mother's birthday dinner, we were made to wait almost 40 minutes past our scheduled time. For a property of this caliber, such delays are simply unacceptable. Billing Error: We were erroneously charged $110 for in-room dining that we never ordered. We did not consume a single drop of wine during our stay, yet wine was included in this false charge. When we brought this to the attention of the front desk, the response was perfunctory at best. Poor Front Desk Handling: The front desk manager, Victoria, acknowledged the mistake but only offered a muttered apology. No gesture of goodwill, credit, or any form of service recovery was extended—a basic standard at any luxury property when such errors occur. One Bright Spot: The only positive moment during our stay was our restaurant server, who provided excellent cocktail recommendations for my uncle. Their professionalism was a stark contrast to the rest of the experience. As someone who spends over a month each year staying at luxury properties around the world, I can confidently say this was the worst experience I’ve had at any five-star hotel of this price range. For the price and prestige, the service and management fell dramatically short. I cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very good service

This should be an old hotel that has been completely renovated. The room is very beautiful and stylish, and every item is very exquisite. The bathroom is small and the shower water is small, which may be due to the renovation of the old building. But it is worth staying. The bar downstairs looks very good at night. The food ordering in the room tastes great! And fast! There is a small problem. When you deposit your credit card at the front desk, you must bring a chip.

They are all good. Although they are under renovation, they are considered good in New York. However, the price and quality of New York hotels cannot be compared with those in China.
