Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Grand Central New York

8/10 Good

"Solid stay!"

ROW NYC

10/10 Excellent

"The entire hotel was very clean, everyone was super friendly and the room was a good size for a hotel in Midtown. The only thing I would recommend is getting mini-fridges in all rooms. I asked for one in advance via Expedia, and called the Hotel directly to make sure one would be in my room. It wasn't there when I checked in, but they brought it and hooked it up within two hours of me checking in. Overall, I would stay at the Row NYC again!"

Hotel Belleclaire

8/10 Good

"The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly during check-in. They advised me to use a different elevator due to the amount of baggage I had and it worked for the most part ( there was a bit of a wait at times for elevators ). The room was small and sparse, but it did have a closet with a sufficient number of hangers to hang clothes. I wish there was a luggage rack, so my suitcase could be off the ground. The location is very close to the subway ( Line 1) and many eateries are close to the hotel. The bakery place next door to redeem breakfast vouchers was just ok and a bit overpriced."

The Lucerne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel with very nice staff, easy check in and check out, clean, large room that lacked for nothing except a fridge. I love the location on the upper west side, near to the natural history museum and Central Park. Nice Matin offers nice meals throughout the day with a hotel discount. The price is half what the same room would be on the east side. They do not have valet parking but the parking lot they recommend gives a big discount if you are staying at the Lucerne. "

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel was its most valuable feature. Located right in front of Lincoln Center, near Columbus Circle with high end shopping, within 1 block of Central Park, and very near a central train station - Columbus Circle. In general, this is an older hotel. Our room had a VERY small and dated bathroom. The room had poor air circulation as did many areas of the hotel. The AC blew at 65 but the cool air did not move around the room. The staff was excellent. Our room was cleaned daily; every day we returned from our long, hot, subway adventures to a clean room. The on-site roof top restaurant was nice as well. Despite its dated rooms, I would consider staying here again for the great location."
