Columbia Holidays from AU$2,475

Incredible hotel. Lovely staff. Great price. 10/10 would recommend.

Hotel St James was exactly what we wanted! The room was clean before we got there and always cleaned upon request. The staff was very helpful, we had a few questions/requests and they never hesistated to assist. The air conditioner worked well! Two days were very hot in the city so coming back to a cold room was incredible. We would definitely stay again.

Very convenient location for Sightseeing and eateries. Room is quiet. Bed is comfortable. Despite not having a handheld shower head, the water flow was good for showering and good drainage. Front lobby is small with no bathroom provided. Can arrange car service to the airport.

Wonderful stay at Interfaith 21! Staff were very welcoming and kind. I received the room that was in the picture - and it was as pictured. Very clean and super comfortable (great bed!). Shared toilet and shower wasn't an issue. Future travelers should know that it is not sound proofed (no carpeting to absorb sounds) - you can hear footsteps and thumping occasionally. It wasn't a big issue for me though/didn't last long, and I slept soundly. I will definitely be back to this gem.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Park Ave. The rooms, amenities & staff were great. However, we will not be going back due to their dodgy billing practices. First, be warned: if you use a debit card you will get screwed (had they warned me, I'd have used a credit card)! Usually, one essentially pays for the room at check-in + deposit (usually around $200), which generally gets reimbursed upon checkout if there are no outstanding fees/damage. This hotel withdrew the funds for the room rental + deposit from my account via debit, but did NOT apply the funds to pay my bill. So, upon check-out, they required me to pay the room fee AGAIN, reporting that the total withdrawn (2 nights plus a $450 security fee!) would be returned in 5-7 days. They informed me this is "standard practice" in the hotel industry. Really? I stay in hotels frequently, I've never experienced this. (I have occasionally had the security deposit held for a week before being returned, which seems to be a NYC thing). But to have the room fees withdrawn but NOT applied to the bill is absurd. Suffice to say this was very frustrating. So much for the great rate I got through Expedia, by the way! It doesn't feel so great when they're holding almost $1000 hostage for a week. So, despite an enjoyable stay otherwise, I won't be staying at the hotel in the future due to their dodgy & inconvenient billing practices. Definitely left a bitter taste after an otherwise great weekend in NYC.
