Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

The George Manhattan, Tapestry Collection by Hilton+++

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very nice. Pool was not open yet. But the place is beautiful"

Night Hotel Broadway

8/10 Good

"Good price for location"

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and helpful, friendly staff!"

Hyatt Grand Central New York

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here about 8 years ago and the facility is much improved and completely spotless. Beds are super comfy Location is perfect!! So close to the excitement of Times Square but far enough to be able to sleep. And by being next to Grand Central, transportation was seamless."

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel was nice. Close to Central Park, Lincoln Center, subway, shops and a Starbucks next door. The room decor was very outdated and could use some fixing up. No safe in our room, although advertised as having one. Nice size TV and bed was decent. You could get bottled water from the front desk every day so that was really nice and the staff was very friendly. We had brunch on a Sunday at the restaurant on the Mezzanine level and it was really good. Highly recommend eating there. The rooftop pool is extremely small and the gym was decent. The shower faucet fell off and I feel like the bathroom needs to be updated. No extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom which was weird. Overall, it was okay for the amount of time we spent in the room"

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to Central Park, just a 7 minute walk! Staff recommended an awesome family owned restaurant which was in walking distance. If you needed info on transportation, etc they went above and beyond! This is our second stay at this hotel. Will be back again !"

The Wallace

"Can't say enough good things about the Wallace Hotel. Everyone who works there is always so pleasant and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and it is quiet at night, which is so unique in New York City!"
