Graduate Roosevelt Island
As the only hotel on Roosevelt Island, the Graduate has so much to offer. From the on-site restaurant and bar garden to the fitness and business centers, this great (but cheap) hotel in NYC is a winner for those on a budget. Enjoy room service in your air-conditioned room with a TV before joining the continental breakfast served every morning – sadly not included in the room rate but totally worth it. The best part? The surrounding outdoor deck with panoramic views of the Hudson and New York City.
The Harlem Flophouse
The dark-wood interior, moody lighting and lilting jazz music make musician René Calvo’s Harlem inn feel more like a 1930s speakeasy than a 21st-century B&B. The airy suites, named for Harlem Renaissance figures such as Chester Himes and Cozy Cole, have restored tin ceilings, a quirky mix of junk-store furnishings and working sinks in original antique cabinets.

The Carlton Arms Hotel
Billed as 'Manhattan's famous art hotel', The Carlton Arms Art Project started in the late 1970s when a small group of creative types brought fresh paint and new ideas to a run-down shelter. Today, the site is a bohemian backpackers’ paradise and live-in gallery—every room, bathroom and hallway is festooned with outré artwork. The place gets booked early, so reserve well in advance.
Moxy Times Square
Formerly the New Mills Hotel, the boutique Moxy Times Square proves you can have it all—affordability, comfort and style. Relax in a Yabu Pushelberg-designed room thoughtfully outfitted with 100 per cent Egyptian cotton linens and an oversize walk-in rain shower. Once recharged, head to one of five in-house dining spaces—we recommend a sunset cocktail at Magic Hour, New York’s largest all-season indoor-outdoor hotel rooftop bar and lounge featuring a rotating carousel, putt-putt golf course, topiary garden and stunning views of the Empire State Building.

The Bentley Hotel
Here’s proof that you don’t have to pay a ton of money to get a jaw-dropping view in the Big Apple. The Bentley started off life as a high-rise office building, but now it’s a 21-storey monster on the Upper East Side. Nearly every room has an astonishing view, with particularly fab views over the East River. The rooms are pretty solid too: tidy and bright, with distinctly office-esque chrome-and-wood furnishings.
Orchard Street Hotel
Situated in the heart of Manhattan’s hippest hood, Orchard Street Hotel is perched next to some of New York City’s most iconic restaurants, bars and music venues. What the 50-room Lower East Side property lacks in amenities, it makes up for with the decor, location, pet-friendliness and price point.
Pod 51
When people think of pod hotels, they’re usually talking about Tokyo – but NYC has them too. The perfect choice for those that are conscious about budget but not about space, Pod 51 offers a choice of six pod types that sleep between one and four guests. It’s all exceptionally clean and well-designed, featuring trendy décor and a surprisingly large number of amenities. Sure, you’re in a big box, but that doesn’t mean your big box can’t still be comfortable and have a flatscreen TV, WiFi, desk and more.

Nu Hotel
At this Brooklyn hotel, hospitality and sustainability converge. Wake up to environmentally friendly touches like organic linens, recycled teak furniture and all-natural bath products. The eco-consciousness extends into the mini-bar, which comes stocked with locally handcrafted wines, spirits and snacks.
Sohotel
Firmly claiming the title of "oldest operating hotel in New York City", this Broome Street spot once welcomed the likes of William Waldorf Astor and John L. Sullivan. A contemporary makeover has left some rooms with skylights, a yellow-and-blue color scheme, flat-screen TVs, exposed brick walls, and hardwood floors, but it still retains some of that 1805 charm.
