If I offer this article to you, it is not without reason: in early November 2017, a young couple who went on vacation to New York launched a call for help on our Facebook group. Destination New York… Sophie and her friend had booked at the Blue Moon Hotel, an establishment which turned out to be perfectly despicable: “It’s a disaster! », Says Sophie,« It’s a dormitory with cockroaches !!!! Fortunately, thanks to the group’s mobilization, they were able to find a much more suitable hotel and enjoy New York. To avoid such a mishap, here are my 5 tips!
1 / Follow the recommended hotels
- To choose a good hotel with your eyes closed, you can first follow the list of recommended hotels in New York. This list includes hotels that have received excellent feedback from the blog team and forum members. The list goes from 2 * to 5 * in order to cover all budgets.
- This list is obviously updated regularly, as and when everyone’s feedback.
2 / Consult the reviews!
- Before booking a hotel, browse the web to see what internet users are saying! You will be able to find the opinions of the members of the Forum New York in the section of hotel tests.
- And if you do not find a review on a hotel that interests you, do not hesitate to launch a call on the forum, in the section Questions before you go to New York.
3 / beware of too low prices
- In terms of hotels, the rule is simple in New York: the higher the prices, the better the quality, and vice versa. A hotel at € 50 per night can never offer you the same services as a hotel at € 150 per night. If the price is excessively too low, it means that there is eel under the rock!
- It is therefore advisable to compare prices to have a general market trend when you book. This will allow you to locate the hotels in relation to each other.
4 / Choose a good location
- To have a good stay in New York, I advise you to choose the location of your hotel carefully. If this is your first time in New York, I highly recommend you choose a hotel in Manhattan, the heart of New York.
- The advantage of having a hotel in Manhattan is twofold: you will live in the heart of the action, with New York at the bottom of the building, and, given the very dense subway network in Manhattan, you will be necessarily near a metro station. Ideal for discovering New York!
5 / Contact the hotel if you have any questions
- If you have any doubts about the hotel you intend to choose, do not hesitate to contact reception, by e-mail or by phone. This will allow you to remove any doubts, for example about the bathroom, the view, the location. Prevention is better than cure ! If the hotel is unable to meet your demands, beware.
- By contacting the hotel in advance, you can also request a room that best meets your expectations, whether on a high floor or with a view or quiet.
