Just a few blocks from the hustle and bustle of Times Square, this 4-star hotel has come up with a very simple idea: small rooms where space is maximised to manage to offer prices that are just as small- clever!

Reducing size yes, but not comfort! The pods are equipped with super-soft beds, modern bathrooms and all thehigh-tech equipment you need for a relaxing stay. There's also an Italian bar-restaurant with a great terrace, the Serafina in the Sky.

This 3-star hotel offers modern, comfortable and rather spacious rooms for New York at affordable rates. Some even have balconies offering breathtaking views of lower Manhattan and One World Trade Center.

We like this establishment for the friendliness of its staff, for its hearty breakfast and for its superb location near Manhattan harbour, right next to the Brooklyn Bridge and close to the main underground lines.

This 3-star hotel offers unbeatable value in Midtown Manhattan, just a few minutes from Herald Square. The rooms, although small, are clean and quiet, and some even have a view of the Empire State Building!

The helpful and welcoming staff contribute to thefriendly atmosphere in the public areas and on the bar terrace. We should also mention the delicious breakfast, which will give you all the strength you need to spend the day exploring the streets of the Big Apple.

On the south side of the peninsula, in the lively Chinatown district, this 3-star hotel isone of the cheapest in Manhattan! It's clean, comfortable and very well located, with plenty of restaurants nearby.

The hotel is clean and the staff are extremely friendly. Breakfast is a big plus, but if you don't want to pay for it, you can always enjoy unlimited coffee.

If you're looking for a well-located hotel with clean, comfortable rooms at an unbeatable price, we've got just what you're looking for: this 3-star establishment will meet all your criteria and more.

In fact, you can add to all this a breathtaking view of the Manhattan Bridge from the rooms on the upper floors, super-friendly staff and a good, nourishing breakfast. This is a no-frills hotel that you'll be glad to come back to after spending the day wandering around New York.

By moving a little further away from Manhattan, you can get very affordable rates for high-quality establishments. This 3-star hotel is located on the other side of the East River, on Long Island, yet is only20 minutes from Times Square by underground.

The rooms are much more spacious than in the city centre, and are also clean and comfortable. The breakfastbuffet is varied and copious, and the staff offer exceptional service. But what really made us fall in love with the hotel was its immense roof terrace, from which the view over New York is breathtaking.

This 3* establishment is part of the same hotel chain as the 3* Pod Times Square we mentioned earlier. The principle is therefore similar, but the prices are often even lower, as this hotel is located outside Manhattan, in the charming residential district of Brooklyn.

The rooms are comfortable and functional, spread over four buildings linked by bridges. Weather permitting, the hotel's restaurant, Clinton Hall, serves breakfast and meals on its magnificent roof terrace. There is also a mezzanine lounge where coffee and snacks are available throughout the day.
