Overview: Just a couple of minutes’ walk from Times Square, these budget digs come courtesy of cheap ‘n’ cheerful hotels group Apple Core, which has five NYC properties that, while fairly no-frills, offer more than most Manhattan tourist traps and at a fraction of the price.
This one might not be the ultimate in luxury, but the decor is smart and modern, beds big and soft, and there are useful freebies including free national phone calls and a complimentary breakfast (a near unheard of perk in the Big Apple).
Wow factor Rather than take the budget airline tactic of charging for everyday ‘add-ons’, the amenities thrown in here are impressive. Sure, breakfast is super-simple (doughnuts, toast, cereal), but plentiful, and rooms have big flat screens with cable TV. Plus, the location couldn’t really be more central.
Rooms Surprisingly spacious and perfectly comfortable. Free wi-fi and filter coffee.
Bill please Double rooms in May start from £77pppn.
