Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

ROW NYC

8/10 Good

"Esta bien ubicado."

Night Hotel Broadway

8/10 Good

"Finding my room and the elevators was difficult each time. The room was sparse, but surprisingly very clean. The lobby is busy and chaotic; the big slope at the front door needs a warning sign."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location - near Central Park, Times Square, and some of the theatre district. For those places that weren't so close, there's a subway station right there on their corner and that'll get you most anywhere else you'd want to go. One negative comment, though, would be the cost of their food & beverages. A full breakfast will run you almost $50. Sure, you can pay for some of that with their resort fee, but it was you that already paid that fee, right? Two rather generic drinks in the bar and an appetizer in the bar were $70."

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, helpful staff, and lovely rooms."

Arthouse Hotel New York City

10/10 Excellent

"great location, beautiful building, nice rooms, cafe in lobby with fantastic pastries and coffee."

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Would definitely recommend the POD Times Square. The location was terrific and our room was clean, comfy bed and wonderful shower. They offer free daily walking tours plus complimentary water refill and coffee in the little eatery near the lobby. It was a terrific stay and all the staff were very friendly as well!"

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location is great"
