Recent Hotel Riverside Studios Review: "I was impressed by how clean the place was. My biggest worry was the shared bathrooms, but they were kept clean and always open when I needed them. This is a great place for a single person, I was in NY for business and didnt mind the small rooms. For the price in Manhattan, the place is excellent, as long as you are merely looking for a place to crash, but it was comfortable and sufficient for my needs. I dont think they had internet, though. I would definitely suggest it for someone crashing in Manhattan."

A short guide to Upper West Side

Some bemoan that the Upper West Side has become a version of the Upper East Side. Case in point: Columbus Circle’s Time Warner Center, one of New York’s priciest real estate. The Upper West Side includes the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the American Museum of Natural History, and Columbia University. Harlem, the legendary African American neighborhood, lies north and caps Manhattan.

Recreation

Riverside Park, a block away, offers softball fields, waterfront walking paths, and car-free bike routes. During spring and the summer weekends, you can borrow a kayak at the lower tip of the park at no cost (weather permitting).

Central Park, a half-mile away, is nature’s gym, replete with miles of scenic walking and running paths, along with summertime boat and bicycle rentals.
Overview

At the Hotel Riverside Studios, you’ll enjoy easy access to some of the Upper West Side’s most alluring attractions without breaking your budget. This historic building has a European feel and a backpacker-friendly vibe that's ideal for travelers who value location over frills. The namesake of scenic Riverside Park, mere steps away, Hotel Riverside Park is just adjacent to the Trump Place complex. Performing-arts lovers who want to catch the ballet--or the latest version of Carmina Burana--can walk 5 minutes to Broadway, then follow the famed thoroughfare a half-mile down to Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Opera House.

Music fans will want to make the pilgrimage to beloved Beatle John Lennon’s memorial, Strawberry Fields, also about a half-mile away on Central Park West. Central Park has something for everyone: Dinosaur aficionados and history buffs can check out the world’s largest collection of fossilized vertebrae and virtual dioramas of ancient cultures at the American Museum of Natural History. Prefer a living animal exhibit? Pay a visit to Central Park Zoo, or take in more celestial pursuits at the Hayden Planetarium or the Rose Center for Earth and Space. All are about a mile from the hotel. Ready to venture farther afield? The multi-media spectacle of Times Square is 5 minutes away via train.
