Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming the breakfast downstairs at the little shop was amazing and something we looked forward to every day"

Night Hotel Broadway

8/10 Good

"It’s an older building but the price was right. The girl Miracle at the front desk was nice and chatty. Unfortunately we called for more towels because there were 3 of us and only two towels and they said they were coming up and never showed up. That was disappointing but the woman in the morning was super kind and helpful."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location — very convenient, close to everything, and walkable. However, the hotel itself was disappointing. The elevators had long wait times and were often inaccurate. The service, especially at the gift shop, was a terrible experience. The only exception was the gentleman at Starbucks, who was genuinely kind and attentive. Cleanliness was also below expectations, dust was visible throughout the room. For the price and reputation, I would think twice before booking again."

Park Lane New York

8/10 Good

"Great location, beautiful furnishings, however the and function not really there. The room was not stocked with water or mini bar. And the room itself seemed to be missing an eating table and chair. The staff was awesome - food from room service 10/10 ! But we think they are upgrading the hardware? And the 2nd floor men’s bathroom needed some structural attention. We loved the last minute stay for the price, after our flight back to LA was cancelled."
