Top Columbia University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Belleclaire Central Park, a Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are wonderful and always so cheerful. I love the Monday walking tours. The bar is really outstanding, although $30 cocktails are a bit over the top, even for NYC."

The Lucerne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great classic NYC hotel. Centrally located and has a great cafe downstairs (you get a 15% discount voucher for the cafe when you check in). We are NY’ers who moved to Long Island and needed a room for one night as we were attending an event. We had a great time-the bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. Highly recommend, especially at the nightly rate!"

Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan/Upper East Side

8/10 Good

"We only stayed for about 8 hours (quick overnight before an early surgery at HSS). It’s no frills and the parking is in a lot down and across the street which was confusing. It was about $550 for our 8 hour stay but the beds were comfortable and we got a good night sleep although I couldn’t get the temp down under 70 degrees. I wouldn’t say the front desk people were very friendly."
