South Bronx Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in South Bronx, New York

"I think the hotel itself was old. But it was clean. Staff assigned us a room that was already occupied. Location is great. The only bad thing was the heater did not work and with the bed it only had a comforter no sheets other than a fitted sheet."

"Clean room, friendly staff"

"We had an amazing stay. There was 5 of us and we stayed 5 nights. The bathroom was a little small but we managed. I loved the fact that we had 2 rooms and 3 beds. Everything was clean. The staff were great and was so very helpful. Would stay again. "

"Check in was not a great experience. The room is good. There was a light fully strobing when I got to the room. I went back down to the front desk at 4pm (because no one answered the phone) to ask them to have it fixed and they didn't come to fix it until after 10pm. Overall, the hotel is fine. Just started off my stay poorly."

"Room was clean and had added amenities such as razor, toothbrush, shaving cream, etc; but no microwave. Bare essentials as far as furniture."

"No chairs in room, no desk to do work on, room way too small, wallpaper unsightly. No microwave to use in the hotel. Staff was friendly."

"Stayed at the New Yorker Hotel and it was honestly not worth the price. The hallways are outdated and the “city view” room we were given was basically a corner wall with barely any view of MSG. You’re mainly paying for the location in the heart of NYC. What really ruined the experience was how we were treated regarding their smoking policy. I asked a worker if there was any balcony or smoking area available and was told no, to just smoke outside. Cool, no problem. The next morning at 9AM security knocked on our door claiming they smelled marijuana. We told them they had the wrong room. The security guard even explained that if someone was actually smoking in a room, their desk would get notified by the smoke detector system. He made it sound like they were generally searching for who was smoking — not that our room specifically triggered anything. Then the very next day we received a letter saying we were being charged a smoking fee anyway. I even tested the so-called “smoke detector” afterward and it clearly was not functioning, which makes the whole situation feel questionable and discriminatory. Overall, definitely not worth what they charge. Location is the only real positive."

"Room was small but fine. Elevators were extremely small and very noisy. It’s an old hotel, so it’s to be expected, but if you’re claustrophobic take the stairs."
