Neighbourhood

Upper West Side

Nestled between Central Park and the Hudson River, the Upper West Side offers iconic architecture and a quiet, residential respite from the buzzing energy of downtown. Along Central Park West are many of the city’s most iconic apartment buildings, as well as the American Museum of Natural History, which has been welcoming visitors to its historic exhibit halls for over 140 years. Culture fans will love Lincoln Center, home to some of the world’s best opera, dance, film, and theatre performances, all centrally located around a beautiful fountain. Spanning the entire length of the Upper West Side, Riverside Park is ideal for a long, leisurely stroll in a quiet green space.

Overall great hotel at a great price

Room was basic: bed, nightstand, 2 lamps, closet, flatscreen. Attached bathroom was a toilet, sink, walk in shower. It was super close to the metro, food, and a parking garage. Being right in the city, it was quieter than expected. A wonderful price. We highly highly recommend…

Ok if its just for a few nights

Good value for money if on a budget and don't want to splash out on a fancy central 5 star hotel in Times Square. Location is great as the subway station is about a minutes walk from the hotel and there a plenty of local shops, cafes and restaurants on 96th street and downtown…

Okay but not great

Okay room, decent bed, shower and a heater. However, the hallway smelled bad and the room was not properly cleaned. It was also a lot smaller than it seemed on the pictures. Personnel was sometimes friendly but not always. However, location is very nice. Close to central park…

Basic hotel in great location

My boyfriend and me booked the Royal Park Hotel for our weekend trip to New York. Location is fantastic, you are a 10 minute walk to Central Park and there are plenty of restaurants and a subway stop nearby. The room is very basic and not big at all however it was clean and the…

Hey! Read in another hotel booking site that the rooms with private bathroom come with a bathtub...do they also have a shower? Or can you choose between bath and shower? Thanks in advance for the help!

We only had a shower in our room.

We have booked a,double with private bathroom. Will we get tea and coffee making? TIA.

They did provide a kettle on request, but I don't know whether or not they provided tea or coffee. They did provide cups. We took our own tea and coffee sachets anyway. Manhattan Diner near the Subway station for great food and breakfast. Ask for directions.

Hi, I am travelling to NYC for the first time and doing so on my own and trying to find somewhere which is good value for money for 5 nights. This looks great but has very mixed reviews. It being a 5 day trip and me being alone, I want to make sure I am safe and that the room is somewhere which is ok for that length of time - especially with the size of the rooms. Can anyone help to let me know if this is a good option? Thanks in advance

I've nothing much to add to everyone else except thee staff were very friendly and can provide a kettle for hot water. Subway and buses close by, and breakfast in the Manhatten Diner (near the Subway station) is a great experience.
