Hotell Hotel Riverside Studios - New York

Att kalla Hotell Riverside Studio i New York för hotell är som att kalla Empire State building för villa. Undermålig underhållning, gula fläckar på lackanen, skitigt, dålig ventilation, fruktansvärd stank samt skrämande otrevlig personal. Man låter sig lätt luras av de trevliga bilderna men sanna mina ord, Hotell Riverside Studio är inget hotell. Jag […] har rest jorden runt och har bott på många "mindre fina" hotell men aldrig klagat eller skrivit recension om något hotell. Detta hotell borde inte få kalla sig för ett hotell. Läs mer

Ok ställe att vara på om du bara är ute efter en plats att sova. Ett hotell som inte förtjänar titeln "hotell", utan bör lämpligast omnämnas som härbärge. Sunkiga lokaler, skumma kvarter. Helt okej service, personalen kan hjälpa till med småsaker. Centralt läge men väldigt otillgängligt. Överpris, skulle bara betala för en övernattning här i nödfal […] l! Läs mer

Undvik det här hotellet till varje pris!! Det är infesterat av bed bugs, kackerlackor och diverse insekter. Den värsta hotellupplevelsen i hela mitt liv. Jag är medveten om att man inte ska förvänta sig mycket när det är 1,5 stjärnor. MEN, vi har rest runt mycket i USA och bott på många av de billigaste hotellen och motellen och har absolut inga större […] krav på bekvämligheter, tvärtom, de hotell som fått väldigt dålig kritik här på hotels.com har vi ändå tyckt varit helt ok och inte riktigt förstått vad folk har klagat så mycket på. Men de allra billigaste och skabbigaste vi bodde på var inte ens i närheten av så äckliga som det här! Förfallet, skitigt, luktar piss, spya och rök i korridorerna. Först hamnade vi i ett pyttelitet rum med så skitiga fönster att man inte ens såg ut, det var även hål i fönstret som var lagat med tejp. TEJP. Det var även småkryp ÖVERALLT, vi googlade lite när vi tog oss till ett ställe med wifi (det här hotellet är det enda stället i hela NYC som inte har internet) och fick fram att det var de fruktade bed bugsen som vi misstänkt. När vi fick byta till ett annat rum i en annan del av hotellet såg vi inte längre till några bed bugs, nu var det istället kackerlackor överallt. I sängen, i handfatet, på väggarna. De gemensamma toaletterna var skitiga och spruckna, badkaret fullt med insekter. Visst, en insekt eller två är väl normalt vart man än kommer men det här var löjligt, dom var ÖVERALLT. Jag har aldrig känt mig så äcklad och obekväm i hela mitt liv men eftersom vi redan förbetalt alla 6 nätter var det bara att bita ihop. För att sammanfatta: Jag skulle inte bo på det här hotellet ens om jag fick resan betald och allt inkluderat. Bo inte ens här om så för en natt, undvik till varje pris! Jag hoppas innerligt att det här hotellet går i konkurs snart eller att hotels.com tar sitt förnuft till fånga och avbryter allt samarbete för det här är inget hotell. Det är på sin höjd en knarkarkvart. Läs mer

So - the room was horribly ugly and either too hot or too cold, the reception looked like a low-budget hostel in southeast asia and I didn't want to put my feet on the bathroom floor. It was, however, pretty much what we expected! For this price and with the star rating of 1,5 we didn't believe to end up at The Ritz, and were actually happily surprised! […] The staff was friendly, the bathroom and room was cleaned on a daily basis and the neighborhood was nice and quiet! Also no signs of the feared bedbugs! It's on Manhattan, close to everything and for a good price. Läs mer

Borde läst på mer om bedbugs innan och att hotellet är varnat. Det finns en site för bedbugreports och där finns massor på detta hotell, och såg de själva och har nu massor av bett..

After been reading some of the bad comments people have written about Riverside Studios we were expecting the worst. But it turned out to be a nice place, and for that price I would say it was a bargain. It seems to be that some people who write these comments are not really able to compare standard to price. I don't know what they were expecting, a […] five star? Läs mer

Det sämsta och smutsigaste hotell vi har legat på i hela världen,trodde att sängen skulle gå sönder knarrade bara man rörde sig i den,golvet lutade åt alla möjliga håll.Inget att rekomendera åt andra.När vi frågade om de kunde ringa efter taxi när vi lämnade hotelett ,svarade de gå ut på gatan och stoppa en.

Riktigt slitet och sunkigt. Bilderna på hemsidan visar inte den veklighet vi såg. Upprustning pågår ev. i delar av hotellet men de rum och korridorer vi bodde i var i akut renoveringsbehov. Vi såg möss springa över golvet i ett av våra rum.Trasiga möbler och ingrodd smuts. Gemensamma badrum och toaletter i uruselt skick. Dock rena och fräscha lakan. […] Fungerande kylskåp och AC. Trevlig personal som gör sitt bästa. Läget är mycket bra. Tysta, trygga kvarter med närhet till Hudson river, Broadway, Beacon theater, Central Park och metro-station. Skulle gärna återkomma, men bara efter renovering! Läs mer

Ett hotell med mycket bra läge, nära till tunnelbanan och central park. Hotellet hade rätts så unken och instängd lukt.

Rude personnel and horrible rooms. This is the place to stay at if you absolutely need to go to new york even though you cant afford it.

Jag var på jakt efter ett billigt och någorlunda centralt hotell. Det var det jag fick. Inget mer. Mycket spartanskt och lätt nedgånget hotell med riktiga original som övriga gäster. Dock någorlunda rent och definitivt tryggt. Ett rum med en knarrande madrass, en tv och en avskavd kyl på golvet. Dock mycket billigt, halva kostnaden jfr m näst billigaste […] hotell som jag hittade via hotels.com Läs mer

Hotel Riverside är ett mycket lugnt och prisvärt hotell. Man hör ingen trafik, läget är bra, 3-4 kvarter från Central Park. Nära till Metropolitan. Allt funkade bra, kändes säkert att bo där. Det finns lite gamla original som verkligen bor på hotellet vilket bara är mysigt. Rent och frächt, kylskåp på rummet vilket är bra, man måste dricka mycket vatten. […] Nära till tunnelbana. Läs mer

A cheap hotel which is OK if you need somewhere to sleep. Dont expect any fancy furniture etc. Safe deposit in front desk.

Ja, man får kanske vad man betalar för. Billigt som tusan, men vissa av lokalerna är riktigt nedgångna och risiga. Inga problem med servicen dock, allting funkade smidigt och i ärlighetens namn var rummet helt okej. Man delar toalett med andra gäster, men det var aldrig något problem (det var inte så många gäster på vår våning).

I booked the room 3 mos. in advance for New Year's Eve and received confirmation after monies were withdrawn from my account. In September I received notice from Hotels.com that this hotel was unable to accept my reservation, and to please contact them immediately. Curious, I called the Riverside whereupon I was told they were closed for business by […] the NYC Licensing Board. Luckily, Hotels.com handled this matter very courteously and efficiently, finding another (even much better) room for us at the Milburn Hotel for NYE with less than 3 weeks notice! The clerk at the Milburn was aghast when I told him of our original booking and said he had received many guests with nightmarish experiences who had fled from the Riverside. The clerk also said that one must do their own due diligence and call the hotel directly and ask to see the room before booking. If they resist, then that is not the lodging for you. I highly recommend that you spend a few more dollars and stay the nearby Milburn Hotel if you can - the private bathroom and kitchenette alone is worth it! And, of course, I highly recommend Hotels.com. Thank you, Hotels.com!! Läs mer

The Hotel Riverside Studios in New York is not clean and not kind. I do not want to recommend anyone. I regreted to stay there.

Having stayed on the Upper West Side in NYC and knowing the community and it's reputation I thought I would be getting a clean and safe but bare bones room on Riverside Drive at a great deal from Hotels.com. First, my Taxi driver would not go to that dead end..... When I walked in the lobby I saw large full trash cans, paint buckets and nothing else? […] I found an attendent who signed me in and gave me a key. I was given directions to walk thru a very small long hall, go thru a door, another small long hall and through another door and I could find my way up to the third floor? I only saw a maintanance man as I made my way and I was so afraid I did not dare go up two levels to the 3rd floor!!! I really feared for my safety!!! I wound back thru the halls and doors and gave the key back to the desk clerk (who did not seem suprised that I brought the key back). This facility is nothing but an accident waithing to happen.

only good thing about this place is its location ! Rude unhelpful staff , horrible dirty old place - a hostel would have been a better choice ! Avoid if at all possible

Even considering a shared bathroom and shower, the one bathroom on the second floor did not have operating lights over the sink, only in the shower. The window at the shower in the other shower room was jammed open and made my female friend uncomfortable The window in her room was in a sad state of disrepair..

Although the hotel looks like it has not work done since 1945...which was not a major problem ..what was need was proper vaccuming of the rooms under the beds and the blinds were beyond dusty and a few of the tubs were so old the paint fell off..I was not expecting the 4 seasons but what i was expecting was a place with so much visible dust and cob […] webs .. I checked out one night earlier .. jusr because i was sneezing non-stop Läs mer

We just need to place to lay our heads in a safe enviornment. The room is not a five star but it was clean and safe.

it was the most horrifying hotel i have ever been to. they had no military discounts. no one should ever have to sleep on blood spotted bed sheets or share the same restroom for an entire floor. the staff did not even tell us our room number or what floor or building we would be staying in. we were escorted up to our room without a word. the man at […] the front desk was very rude and the place just looked like it was never cleaned.

Starting with the positives: the employees were helpful and kind. The neighborhood was great and quiet. But sleeping in this room was like sleeping in a dirty closet. The carpet looked very nasty and the walls were pretty scuffed up. I was happy with how well they kept the bathrooms clean as they are shared - this made sharing a bathroom less nasty. This […] place really should be categorized as more of a hostel. There is no signage other than what you see on the awning photo. There is no lobby and in the entry way there were some unsavory characters hanging out. Wouldn't stay again- worth it to spend another $100 and stay elsewhere. Läs mer

I knew what I was getting into--that the bathrooms would be shared and in the hallways. The place was clean but reminded me of an old college dormitory. My biggest concern is that there is access to the hotel from the street from a door that is not locked or monitored. For security reasons-I would not stay there again. But for a two start hotel it was […] clean and has a TV phone refrig and sink in each room. Läs mer

Among the highlights of our stay at this hotel are: bed bug crawling over my book while reading in bed at night (and yes, I know how to identify a bed bug, Cimex lectularius, and this was one); rooms have a distinct cellar quality to them; elevator smells like generations of roaches have lived there for a looooong time; clogged shower (i.e., over the […] ankles in the previous user's used water, yikes); clogged toilet; bathroom where someone had used towels (and I do not mean paper towels) as toilet paper and then left them in the trash bin....go figure. It is certainly an experience. Läs mer

It was interesting staying here, the staff was so helpful but the building needs some upgrade. It's great for a few nights. My friends and I had a great time there. For a last minute booking this hotel saved our staying in NYC.

The room was cleaned daily. Shared bathrooms were grungy at best. Heat with the snowstorm was minimal. Location is great. There are probably better options in the same price range if you need cleanliness and upkeep. A former single room occupancy hotel with lots of residents leftover from that time. We spent almost no time in the room. So it works if […] you only sleep and bathe carefully there. Läs mer

I cannot even believe that hotels.com would list this hotel on their site. The mattresses have plastic wrapped around them...the rooms stink and are dirty. The bathrooms are ROACH infested. I took a shower and counted at least 20 roaches crawling on the walls and the floors. I slept in my CLOTHES and wouldnt stop on the floor without shoes. There is […] no internet and the first room I checked into the tv and phone didnt work. Läs mer

If you're on a tight budget and need something cheap i would recommend this hotel. Definitely not a five star hotel let alone a 2 star hotel but it will work for short trips. Nice neighborhood and easy access to subways food shopping and site seeing.

ts the most disgusting place i have ever stayed ..We booked for 5 nights only stayed the one night . As i walked into the front door my face dropped , that holiday excitement disappeared.The entrance was dirty ,then turned right into reception it was worse .At this point i still had hope. When we walked into the room ,i cried . I was born and raised […] in Africa ,where I have seen some terrible living conditions .What I saw was shocking .The sink , chair ,carpet ,bed linen and walls were dirty ... Then when i went into the bathroom ...oh my gosh ! The thought of it makes me want to cry again. We checked into Hotel Mayfair the next day, it was beautiful.and to think there was just a £100 difference. DON'T STAY THERE . Läs mer

Since the express train stops at 72nd, this is a great location. The neighborhood is fantastic. However, the hotel is rather grungy. Bed is awful, the sink is gross, and the phone doesn't work. I also never got my room serviced or cleaned. However, the room has a mini fridge.

Hotel is in poor repair. In bathroom, no rubber mat in tub, no mat when leave shower, no rail to hold on to when getting into or out of shower, telephone did not work, walls in halls were moldy. I had wanted inexpensive, but didn't expect this to be so bad.

This hotel almost has the feel of a hostel. Fairly clean room but I really think that sharing a bathroom is a bit much!

I would recomend this hotel for NY Lovers that spend only sleeping time in the hotel. The place is huge and kind of confusing. Some of the floors have an uneven floor, what is kind of scaring, the elavator is really old and stinks, but besides the look and the smell there were no bugs or roaches. It is a shared bathroom, it was pretty clean but I always […] were sandals to shower. The room was really small, what I didn`t mind because it was just me, but the bed was really small and noisy, everytime I moved I would wake up with the noise... I was a different experience because I have ever never had to share a bathroom in a hotel, but for the price and location it was ok, it could be better. I would recomend this hotel for people that spend just enough time in the room, I was gone from 9am to 12am, but if you like to laydown and watch a movie on you hotel room I would not recomend this hotel.

No matter the location, I still think this hotel is overpriced, given that you have to use a communal bathroom. Once I knew I had to bring flip-flops, it really wasn't as bad as it could have been. Never had to wait for the shower, and though unbelievably narrow, it was serviceable. There was a second bathroom in the hall (further down) that was slightly […] wider. No counters in the bathroom, so bring a bag or something to put your toiletries in. Shower was actually quite hot! Room and bathroom were freezing--I closed windows in the bathroom to help the cold. Turned the radiator open in the room and nothing happened, but the heat did kick on in the middle of the night. Was surprised to have clean towels, mini soaps, and 2 rolls of toilet paper--we never lacked, as the bathroom had plenty, and so I never needed the fresh rolls they gave us. The table lamp did not work, and so we only had the harsh overhead light....but the room was clean and big enough. Not a bad place from which to go sightseeing, but just don't book this "hotel" for the ambience or accommodations. Book it only if this is the best you can afford, and realize that you get what you pay for. We did not get lost (maybe because I knew from other reviewers to pay close attention to the directions) and the hallways were not dark or unsafe. I saw no bugs (roaches or bedbugs). It could have been much worse! At least we knew what to expect! Läs mer

Hotel Ricerside Studios was a standard hostel-type accomodation and pretty good for the price. Ammenities were simple and the housekeeping could have been better but the location was great. Within walking distance of Central Park and the Theatre District, HRS is in a good neighbourhood and at the end of a quiet street. Great if you are on a budget but […] probably not what you want if you're looking for something comfortable and relaxing. Läs mer

good but no internet connection

This place was an amazing deal for the price and location. I'd highly recommend it for anyone traveling to NYC on a budget.

Its a horrible hotel its really nasty dont even consider this as a hotel

pluses: Fast Check In Helpful staff Left luggage service

Horrible odor on the rooms, must make clear that no individual bathrooms
