I cannot review the quality of the hotel but simply my experience dealing with them. I decided to make a last minute trip to NYC this weekend and got a red eye friday night flight with a sunday return. I booked the hotel and purchased theater tickets. Unfortunately, my flight got cancelled due to plane malfunctions and the next flight... more

This hotel is located in the heart of the Upper West Side, which is great. Unlike most Midtown hotels, you really get a chance to see what life is like for Manhattanites. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, but do not include private bathrooms (at least not the one I stayed in). This means you will be sharing with lots of... more

They should pay you for staying there. My first impression was that they didn't change anything there for 40 years. They have shared bathroom, not very clean. Room is very small. There are holes in stained sheets. Naked bulbs. No internet access. Tv has a 5 channels all of them has some disturbance so you can't really watch it. And... more

It looked loke sometihng you can see in a horror movie. We have seen it all: Ants, mice and cockroaches. The location is great but the house is crap. The standard is awful and bathrooms/toilets are crappy. Owners would need to invest in it properly. I am happy we managed to keep our stuff as the room keys looked like... more

I stayed for one week in Riverside studios and can honestly say I did not see any bugs or rodents. The double room was large enough, the maid came in every day and left clean towels and soap, the bed was clean and the floor was vaccumed. It was not a problem sharing a bathroom as it was empty most... more

I booked a single room for a 3 night holiday in NY. the good thing was it's a safe/ peaceful area, not far from the station and close to Broadway. The hotel itself was fairly quiet. I didn't expect much cause it was probably cheaper than most in Manhattan, so the size and shared bathroom didnt bother me. however, it... more

I have just returned from a visit to NYC after staying at Hotel Riverside Studios. If you are fussy about staying in a clean environment, do not stay here. My profession means I travel a lot and I am used to very cheap hotels yet I haven't come across anything like this before. The room itself was big. Two double... more

I should have listened to reviews, it was the cheapest "hotel" so I guess I should have expected it. The girl that checked me in was very rude and dismissive, there were mice in the hall, disgusting! I was told they couldn't do anything until the morning, thankfully I'm not squemish about mice, but it was still disgusting! Narrow dirty... more
