Hiya
I'm off to NYC next week and about to book a hostel, (as the person i was meant to stay with stopped taking my calls, oh well lol.)


Could anyone possibly recomend a good value for money hostel? i would appreciate it.

thanks

phone a average hotel and ask whats the best they can do or look on laterooms (see whats around) could be lucky they would rather have room full than empty other sites available

I was looking at Chelsea Star for a while earlier in the year - it has reasonable reviews and is clean at least, but didnt go in the end so not sure how nice it is...

Very good deal on travelzoo.com on their US site. Brand new Four Points by Sheraton Times Square (it's on 40th street) for $115 plus taxes, that's less than £100 per night!!! I've just booked it for September and its $404 for 3 nights including taxes.

Thats a great quote and well done for finding it Thats just over £80 a night. Good location too you can travel around from there and reach many points by foot.We had a good italian meal at the end of your block on 9th and another mex/tex opp.minskoff theatre a few blocks away not far . (about the length of market st "skid row" but with better pubs);)

Hello!
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of booking with https://www.bestatnewyorkcitybreaks.co.uk (best at new york city breaks) - either good or bad reviews.
They seem to offer good prices compared to other sites but i've not heard of them. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

Manhattan is GREAT location... there is no such thing as a BAD location in Manhattan. .

anyway.. on a happy note, i've finally got my flight booked, kinda annoyed to be honest with delta, as their website wouldn't let me book another flight, but thankfully, got direct both ways, for under £400.

Not the price i want to pay, so I'm down to a 3* price for this flight, but when i DIDN'T have the money ready I could have nabbed it for £345, but hey, such is life..

Now time to organise booking the hotel and car parking in the UK, etc
