Top Columbia Street Waterfront District Hotel Reviews

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"This is a surprisingly sweet little hotel in the heart of Times Square. Rooms are tiny, but kind of all you need as a home base to crash at night. The staff are all lovely and the vibes are good. The hotel is simple and clean, but my bathroom had a strange stink to it that was…not great. There aren’t much in the way of amenities, but the hotel bar is cute and for the price, it’s my go-to spot when I need to stay in the area."

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Location was FABULOUS! Perfect location in the theater district if you're seeing a show, around the corner from Times Square. This did lend to noisy nights on the street but nothing that prevented sleep. Room had 2 queens and more space than I thought we'd have. Gym was fully equipped and clean. Breakfast options as part of the $20 per person per day resort fee ("free to-go" or inexpensive sit-down eggs, toast, hashbrowns, coffee) were great. Security was solid-had to show hotel room key pass in order to get to elevators and had to swipe key pass in order to go up elevator. Very safe area with lots of restaurants and shops. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Cost was reasonable on Hotels.com especially considering location. We did the free walking tour of Rockefeller Center and Times Square that left out of the hotel lobby. It was great! It was 60 minutes, not a long walk, but interesting and did I mention, free! We also did a 2 private tour with Broadway Up Close called "Hamil Tour" for $83 pp. Two tiny complaints were that check-in was at 3:00 and our room wasn't ready until 3:15 and there was not a lot of surface space to put toiletries and no shelves/dressers to unpack. Tips: -There's a parking garage right diagonally across the street (259 W 47th) that we booked ahead thru SpotHero. -I checked on the price for the room 3 days before our arrival and it was $240 cheaper so I cancelled the first booking and rebooked at the cheaper price. Yay, Hotels.com!"

Empire Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location and very nice lobby. Room was clean but a bit tired. Nice Lincoln Center views from our 11th fl room. The deluxe room is worth it for the larger size. Very tiny but functional bathroom. Peeling paint in areas. A/C was very weak. Pool on the roof is a bit of a joke. The size of a large bathtub. A decent hotel for the money, but definitely feels like a 3 star property rather than 4 star."
