Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Edison Times Square

8/10 Good

"Very friendly staff, great location. Would love to have had a mini fridge or a chair but overall a wonderful trip."

Hotel Belleclaire

8/10 Good

"Bottles of lotion and shampoo empty, but that’s an easy one. The biggest issue is how how impossible it is to get coffee downstairs with that $10 “bonus” but it’s too small. too crowded and thus hard to use. I think I just left nearly $100 of credits given but unable to be used. Maybe room delivery? Ha! Coffee makers or tea in the room? Being a regular at your hotel, the folks there have indeed fun and happy to see around. And, generally clean and all that but even just the waits at an elevator up to rooms that are getting smaller."

The Lucerne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A clean and comfortable hotel with an exceptionally pleasant and professional staff - everyone! - and immaculate housekeeping, which is hard to come by these days. The towels are in good condition, the bathroom was clean, no weird smells, and no extra furniture like unwanted side chairs cluttering up the space. I would say I am perhaps more discerning than some, and I was super happy with the cleanliness level and responsive staff. Housekeeping deserves recognition! I requested a blanket for the sofa area by answering a text asking if all was okay, and they brought it up without delay. I did not have to call to track it down. This is an organized place. My recommendation would be to turn on the a/c at the hotel breakfast before 8 a.m. because it is just too hot in the morning, very uncomfortable. The service there was also excellent. My other recommendation would be to leave complimentary water for guests. There was a bottle of Evian with a $6.75 price tag. That looked tacky and out of place. Plus who knows how long that bottle had been sitting there. If you're looking for a spot close to the Met it's about a mile walk through Central Park. We booked a king suite through Orbitz. Shuttle (car) service to LGA was $75, cheaper than Uber. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Hope this is helpful."

The George Manhattan, Tapestry Collection by Hilton+++

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious enough to move a stroller around. The staff at the Bar and the conceirge we extremely kind, and helpful and provided top tier reccomendations for local entertainment and food options. The pool was unfortunately still closed. Property was clean overall and easily found from the bus and subway stations, within walkable distance to the Apollo and lcoal shops."

Paramount Times Square – A Generator Hotel

4/10 Poor

"I cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel to anybody. Here are the reasons: 1) the key reader in the elevators doesn't always work. This means you get in, and you can't get your floor put in, you end up on a random floor. Then you ride all the way to the ground floor to try again. This happened to me three times in a one night stay. 2) they have a "facilities" charge of $48+ per day. This is similar to what Vegas resorts charge for their resort fee. It's not disclosed when you make your booking (or if it is, it's so hidden that it's very easily overlooked). They just charge you at check-in. Surprise! 3) They actually charge you to store your bags. If you are checking in, it's $2/bag. If you're checking out, it's $3/Bag. I've never ever been charged a fee to store my bags at a hotel. Never. This one is a first for me. 4) you want cups in your bathroom? Go to the 4th floor. That's where they keep them. Hope your card reader works, otherwise you end up on the 16th floor. No cups on the 16th floor, either. Just on the 4th. The hotel is well located, within steps of Times Square and directly across the street from the theater where "Hamilton" is playing. If location is your primary objective, and you don't care about anything else at all, then this would be a fine hotel."
