I was in NYC last September on my holiday from London, I was on a budget and was struggling to find an affordable hotel. Luckily I came across a fantastic hotel called The Jane, it was just brilliant. Its in the lively Meatpacking district, and offers either single rooms, (or cabins as they call them) or a double room which is a bit more expensive. The price for the cabin was only £90 per night, the hotel itself is full of old style charm, the staff even wear old Bell hop uniforms. So if anyone wants a good cheap hotel in a great location, you won't go wrong with The Jane!

I typically stay at the Gallivant. A single room (small, tiny bed) is about $125-$170 a night. These petite rooms have balcony options with no extra cost. It’s in midtown Manhattan- which is perfect for me. It’s walkable to everything I want to experience (Broadway, Central Park, museums, etc). It’s literally 2 minutes from Times Square. This is only recommended to those who want the touristy experience lol.

I stayed in New Jersey city in an airbnb for $40 a night. It was amazing. We just walked 5 minutes to the path train across the Hudson and then we were in downtown NYC in 20 minutes. Saved a lot of money and we got to spend more on experiences and food!

All yall looking for something around the 100$ range thats super clean and safe: West Side YMCA guest rooms. I can always depend on them being super clean and safe (they actually recently refurbished everything a year or so ago!) you get free wifi, fresh towels, clean sheets and beds. Its great for students or for groups (they have some rooms with a bunch of bunk beds for up to 6 people if youre traveling in a pack!) The bathrooms and showers are in a common area style that are hotel key access ((great privacy)) and if youre lucky to be assigned to a room on the outer side of the building facing the street you get a gorgeous view of central park with the sunrise in the back! Good luck to anyone visiting nyc! Have fun up there!

Omg seriously? 😂 I started following your channel because of my planned trip to New York, I’m back for a few weeks now and your’re actually in the hotel I stayed in! 😄 Paper Factory Hotel. I could really recommend it! Friendly people, beautiful design, 30 second walk to a metro, about 10 minutes to central Manhattan with metro, good breakfast!, ...

Great info. I am moving to NYC and had no idea what neighborhood to live in. I decided to stay in an Airbnb for my first year so I can move around and check out the different neighborhoods. While the info wasn't exactly what Im doing -- it gave me so interesting alternatives.

I was able to get a private room in Brooklyn on Airbnb back in July for $62 a night out the door. It was in a working class area but the area is not that bad and it definitely was safe walking from the subway station to the apartment at 3am.

Sarah you are an awesome worker. You are always so energetic. You always seem excited and don't show any depression. I love you doing your job.

My favorite NYC hotel is in Greenwich Village, is only $100 per night, and it was the first place the survivors from the Titanic stayed. It's called The Jane. I love that place!!!

AirBnB is so much better than hotels! Feel ripped off whenever I use a hotel. Plus Airbnb allows you to feel closer to a local.

Going back a 2nd time to NYC this time during the holidays so I’m looking into these places hopefully to find a good one! Thanks for this great information .

Ive already taken my trip to NY like 5 months ago but I still watch your videos because they are that good. Best NY tutorials out there by far.

[jemimapaterson]

Thankyou for all your videos! I’m planning a trip to NYC next summer and you have helped me so much!

[meletisvas]

Still all of them are very expensive unfortunately...

Excellent production values in this video. Totally agree on the Giraffe and Library hotels. Great value at both, including breakfast. Readers/viewers should be aware most airbnbs in NYC are illegal. People have problems with those accommodations, I would not book airbnb in the city.

i got a trip to nyc for my birthday, and i’ve been binge watching your videos ever since! these videos are amazing!

[davidwellwarth]

I love your videos. I have seen so many, learn so much, and very entertaining, I think this is the best one, I enjoyed it so much!

[NothingMaster]

I love your dresses and your style; not to mention, you’re easy on the eyes. As New Yorkers go you’re actually pretty cool. Yes, that was a compliment. The rest is the rest.

Sarah I love your videos and hotels are really cool
