Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to Central Park, just a 7 minute walk! Staff recommended an awesome family owned restaurant which was in walking distance. If you needed info on transportation, etc they went above and beyond! This is our second stay at this hotel. Will be back again !"

Row Nyc

10/10 Excellent

"The elevators could be a little of a hassle. But everything else was pretty much on point. Very short walk to Times Square. And one of the staff returned my brother’s AirPods to the lost and found that he lost when we were in the lounge area. Staff were very friendly and helpful."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Long check in process. Line went out the door. Stood in line for over an hour. Very Convienent location, close to everything and subway located across the street. Cleanliness was 6/10. Room could have been cleaned better (fingerprints on windows/ dirty fake eye lash strips in bathroom and bottom of bedskirt was brown (sheets were white)). Not terrible overall for a one night stay in Times Square. The staff in the lobby were very nice and accommodating."

Night Hotel Broadway

8/10 Good

"I felt very safe in the neighborhood. It’s around the corner from Popeyes and Duane Reed drug store. Everything is close by including the train a liquor store and McDonalds. The hotel provides room extras like bottled water, coffee, toothpaste, plastic hair shower covers, a razor, and mouthwash all restocked daily. Most hotels don’t provide these items anymore. The elevators are a bit dark and could use brighter lighting. The hotel is very old but maintained as well as can be expected. The sink had a plumbing problem which was fixed by maintenance within 5 min of me informing the front desk. We stayed on the 12th floor which had a slight odor of weed but it didn’t impact our room. If you are looking for an all new, brightly lit, 4 star hotel, this is not it. However, if you don’t stay in the room much and want something clean and economical, this is your hotel!!"

Lotte New York Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Everything looks perfect from check-in to check out. The room, the restaurant, the coffee shop and room service were all great."

The Wallace

10/10 Excellent

"Can't say enough good things about the Wallace Hotel. Everyone who works there is always so pleasant and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and it is quiet at night, which is so unique in New York City!"

The George Manhattan, Tapestry Collection by Hilton+++

8/10 Good

"Breakfasts leave a lot to be desired."

Park Lane New York

10/10 Excellent
