Hotels in Upper West Side, New York

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

Overall, it is better than expected. The room is relatively large and has all the necessary facilities. There is just a faint smell of food in the corridor. The main reason is that the renovation took a long time and the carpet should be replaced. The room was ok, no smell. Mainly because the location is very good 👍

The hotel is in a good location. The facilities are average, and the service has room for improvement. The company is close to the airport and the environment is good. The service is average, and the breakfast variety is relatively complete.

I was with my family at the hotel Beacon for about 10 days. They gave us a room which was not, because they were more locals with a kitchen, two double beds and a sofa bed with a chair. The staff was noted: Both cleaners(who perform their work in a great deal) and receptionists (who are very handy, very available). Discrete view of a NY area much quieter than the general: front is Fairway, open h24, very comfortable to buy any kind of needs and even Starbucks and a pharmacy. I would return absolutely because it was really an experience This is very positive.

The best part about this hotel is the location. It is right off the subway and very close to Central Park, Columbus circle, and Lincoln center. There is a fitness center in the basement but it is very small and stuffy and hot. The pool was not open during our stay which is too bad but that's not their fault. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The worst part of this hotel is the rooms. Our window faced some vent and we had no light. The bathroom was bleak and the ceilings and the doors were old and dirty. The bed was comfortable.

During my week-long stay at Hi New York hostel from December 14th to 21st, I found the overall experience to be quite enjoyable. The check-in process was seamless, thanks to the ever-present front desk staff who were helpful and efficient, ensuring a smooth start to my stay The proximity of the canteen and cafeteria next to the reception area added to the convenience. The cafeteria offered a delightful selection of freshly baked goods and various beverages, making it a pleasant spot to unwind. While I explored nearby Bodegas for budget-friendly groceries, the hostel's public kitchen became my go-to for preparing breakfast and dinner. Although the communal kitchen occasionally suffered from post-use neglect, the dedicated hostel staff ensured it remained clean and well-equipped. The cleanliness of the shared facilities extended to the toilets, which were consistently well-maintained and stocked with amenities. This attention to hygiene contributed significantly to a positive overall experience. Despite booking a bed in a 12-bed room, I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness and the daily cleaning routine carried out by the diligent hostel staff. Adding to the positive experience, the Hi New York hostel's location proved to be exceptionally convenient for exploring major destinations. The hostel's close proximity to a subway station, just a 2-minute walk away, made traveling around the city a breeze. This accessibility enhanced the overall convenience of my stay, allowing me to easily reach and explore various attractions without any hassle. The strategic location near the subway station was undoubtedly a valuable asset for anyone looking to make the most of their time in the city. In essence, Hi New York hostel provided a comfortable and budget-friendly accommodation option with its friendly staff, convenient amenities, and well-maintained communal spaces. My stay was marked by a harmonious balance of affordability and quality service.

Well located in Upper West Side, close to Central Park and to the 87th subway station of line 1.

Facilities: The facilities are super complete, and there is even a kitchen! Prices in New York are too expensive, so just buy some milk and bread, and heat them up in the microwave the next day for breakfast Hygiene: Very good Environment: It's so good, opposite Central Park, there are police cars downstairs, it's very safe, there is a subway downstairs, it's very convenient, there is also a fresh food supermarket opposite, everything can be satisfied Service: There are waiters who can speak Chinese, the front desk and reception staff are very enthusiastic

Very clean, spacious, most staff were friendly and helpful but service at front desk and management team was poor - due to changing travel plans, we made 3 bookings with 2 room types Upon arrival, requested to stay in the same room type (asked for cheapest one, and to forfeit the expensive one to avoid changing rooms first 2 nights) and were told it was full the first night and can change from 2nd-4th night. Next day, told us there was a mix up with no apology and can only change the 3rd-4th night. Went along with it as that was the original booking. After the 3rd night in the small room, was asked to check out AGAIN for the 4th night purely because the hotel accidentally gave us the wrong room on the 3rd night and tried to make us change rooms again and we had a severely disabled person in the room. Got yelled at by the manager threatening to make us move if we don't move, ended up staying in the room given to us after much heated argument but received no apology Had also emailed them a week in advance to make arrangements for the disabled person, and there was no reply at all. Left a request at the reception to make the same arrangements, but when got into our room, none were made until repeated requests Overall, the team is never listening and always goes back on their word. Unreasonable management team. Highly do not recommend.

I’ll start with the positive… Check in was easy and the room was a very generous size for the city. It kind of ends there. It was a tough choice to decide between luxe hotel properties in NYC. I settled on the Mandarin because of my extraordinary experience in London. Maybe the bar was set too high by Hyde Park. We got in to the room and felt like a quick coffee before heading out. No coffee setup? We called down and were told it could be provided - on demand?! Really?? Soon enough a Nespresso setup was delivered. How many people opt out of coffee? Maybe that’s just me. Next, showed up for lunch in the bar (I think there is only the one dining option). There wasn’t anyone at the host’s station so we grabbed a seat. Soon enough someone awkwardly asked us to vacate the “reserved” seats and they would check to see if they could accommodate us at another table. Eventually we were reseated. Service was lagging and food was overpriced (as can be expected at an establishment like this). Hotel decor and interiors were all just average. Nothing felt like a wow. No part of the experience felt like it justified the price tag - especially when there is so much competition in this city. My stay at The NYC Edition in March (for roughly half the cost) far outperformed this experience. The Mandarin can do much better than this.
