Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had some issues with the air conditioning being broken but the staff was quick to resolve it and were very helpful, but then my friend lost her earbuds and the staff was extremely rude (but did help us find the earbuds after three days of back and forth). The doormen were also very kind and helpful every time though, props to them! The overall hotel could use some repairs, it’s pretty dated and the outdoor areas (specifically the pool) felt almost rundown. It is, however, an amazing location and we had no problem navigating the city from the hotel. I would probably stay at this hotel again just for the budget friendliness, the location and the friendly doormen!"

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"They charge $6 per bag to hold them when you check out in morn if you still have the day to spend in the city. I’ve never had to pay for that at any hotel I’ve stayed at before. They also charge $38 a day for their “fee”. They do offer a $35 credit a day for food or drink to off set that I guess. We decided to get Starbucks the next morning to use the credit and waited almost 45 minutes for our order to only be incorrect. The lattes we ordered had no flavor and the chia was very off. Complete waste of time and the credit. Air conditioner wasn’t cooling efficiently. They did send someone up very quickly. He was able to get the room a little cooler and we got a fan brought to room . Room was clean and comfortable. Mattresses were a bit too soft for my liking but I know some would love it."

Arthouse Hotel New York City

10/10 Excellent

"Staff, room and hotel overall were wonderful. Free “breakfast” left much to be desired but that is ok :). I do wish it were outlined more specifically that guests would receive a coffee and either a croissant or a bagel only, despite the myriad of seemingly endless pastry options available when you walk up. It’s a bit deceiving. I also feel like you’ve heard this before. I would stay here again in a NY minute, pardon the pun, though. The hotel is beautiful and the price is reasonable and the location is so perfect to where our daughter lives at Columbia. And now that we know this about breakfast—no problem whatsoever. It just feels a little bait-and-switchish is all. Thank you, to the lovely staff of Arthouse! You are top, top notch!!"

Park Lane New York

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great except the carpet was stained in multiple spots. But I can imagine that so many people spill wine, food, and other things that it would be cost prohibitive to constantly replace the carpet. But the room also needed a paint job. Lamp shade needs replacing. But the stellar staff made up for everything."
