"What about cheap hotels in New York?" they ask us from Amsterdam to Venice. EuroCheapo is based in New York, so we did a little research in our hometown and uncovered some great budget hotels. Presenting EuroCheapo's "Special Edition NYC," with reviews of our favorite cheap hotels in New York City. After all, the city may not sleep, but you'll have to!
Located at 54th and Seventh Avenue and adjacent to the Ed Sullivan Theater, the 250-room Ameritania Hotel New York is a mid-sized, budget boutique hotel.
Conveniently located on 31st Street between Park and Lexington, the Hotel 31 boasts a convenient location and an old-fashioned charm. Factor in the low rates and the hotel becomes a great value.
The Hotel Edison is a landmark hotel with 900 rooms just off of Times Square. It’s tourist-friendly with reasonable rates, although rooms could use some sprucing up.
We'll break down the specifics of the New York City hotel scene here, telling you what $100 will get you, why hotel rates seem to inexplicably zoom up and down, and why $150 will yield a charming bed and breakfast as likely as it will yield a soulless cookie-cutter room.
Yeah, New York is expensive. But how expensive? We'll tell you how much your hotel room will set you back, and let you know what you can reasonably expect to pay for a restaurant meal, a café snack, and a diner feast.
