Cheap New York hotels

[Bellini]

Hi all

Does anyone know of a good all round cheap New York hotel? I'm travelling in April and I'm dead against hostel accommodation as the idea of sharing a bathroom does not appeal. It doesn't have to be 5 star (which would be out of my price range) but I would like it to be central...Midtown or similar. I guess I could afford up to �60/70 per night as there'll be 2 of us and we can share the cost.

Cheers

We stayed in the Wolcott:

Which was easy walking distance from the centre of Manhattan and was clean and comfortable but was nothing special (better than a hostel though)!
Try booking it through expedia (try combined with flights and without) for the cheapest deal, it should work out cheaper than quoted on their site. A continental breakfast is included (basically muffins and coffee)

I can't give you an exact figure of how much we paid but we stayed in it for 6 nights and paid under �500 for it plus our flights from UK

Thanks Chazza

That's exactly the kind of information I was looking for...Cheeers

I have been told (excuse spelling) that the Pensalvania is cheap...i know it is central

Forgot to add that we stayed in the Milford Plaza which is near times square and also Holiday Inn on 57th Street which is quite close also.

Cheers everyone! I'll have a butchers, just as a pointer to anyone else who wants to go to New York, the pensylvannia hotel isn't really a cheap hotel, Cheap enough for some I guess but as I'm on a budget, it's out of my league. Then again, prices may have gone up for the time of year I requested.

Try Hotel 414. It's a boutique hotel just off Broadway, and we loved it. The roomsa re a decent size and have all the creature comforts - plus a free brekfast in the morning. Very reasonably priced, I'd definitely go back there again.
