Hotels in Upper West Side, New York

The West Side YMCA is definitely a no frills place to stay, but the location is excellent. You're right next to Central Park and Columbus Circle. Times Square is an easy walk south. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The first had a bunk bed and was quite small, but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. It also had a small TV and fridge. We had a semi-private bathroom, which was down the hall. This meant we had to scan our key on one of the bathroom doors to get in, but once inside we had privacy while we got cleaned up. The bathrooms were kept clean and tidy. We were able to upgrade the second half of our stay to a room with a larger bed and an in room bathroom. Again, this hotel is no frills. It can be rough around the edges, but it's clean and comfortable at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We did not have time to take advantage of the gym, the pool, the sauna, and stuff like that, but they looked nice. I'd recommend the West Side YMCA. If you're visiting NYC, you should be out doing stuff, not sitting around the room. It was everything we needed it to be.

Honestly this place is ghetto. We were so excited when we walked into the lobby because it's so luxurious but the rooms? do not match the vibes the front gives you. I would only go back here if I had no other option.

The location of the hotel is convenient. I also booked it for a friend. The whole process went smoothly. My friend reported that the stay was very good. The service of the hotel is fine. I hope that I can stay here when I go by myself in the future.

Only one elevator. Rooms were small. Hallways and elevator was small also. Could not get down certain areas with wheel chair. 5 people in elevator was a tight fit. Breakfast was mediocre. Some items good some needed improvement. Overall would not recommend unless your a bit desperate.

The best hostel in NYC (ps: ensure no food in room!!!!! , otherwise tom & gerry will not make u be peaceful haha, besides fantastic, esp the employees are the best 🤍)

The room is relatively small, the lighting is average, the windows can hardly see the outdoor scenery, the location is very convenient, very close to the Central Park, the sanitation is very good, and the facilities are OK

Loved this hotel, the views and the rooms are all incredible but the standout is the staff. The room service was tasty and prompt and everyone was so helpful. We were here for my moms birthday and they really helped make it so special. I would definitely recommend staying here!

I was with my family at the hotel Beacon for about 10 days. They gave us a room which was not, because they were more locals with a kitchen, two double beds and a sofa bed with a chair. The staff was noted: Both cleaners(who perform their work in a great deal) and receptionists (who are very handy, very available). Discrete view of a NY area much quieter than the general: front is Fairway, open h24, very comfortable to buy any kind of needs and even Starbucks and a pharmacy. I would return absolutely because it was really an experience This is very positive.

We always enjoy our stay here. The Executive suite is spacious and it’s great having a kitchen with full size fridge. The staff is outstanding. They are very helpful and welcoming. We really appreciate that they recognize us from prior stays.

The place is affordable and convenient
