Overview

Riverside Tower Hotel is a New York budget hotel that provides some of the best prices in town, plus the suites are an amazing value with prices typically under $200. The narrow tower, built in 1913, is the tallest on the block and offers travelers a feel of how Upper West Siders really live.

The tall hotel sits on the corner of 80th Street and Riverside Drive, offing a great location in the Upper West Side, a residential area with tree-lined streets, great restaurants, shops, and parks. Across the street is Riverside Park. Where bikers and joggers have a waterfront view. Central Park is a 15-minute stroll, as are plenty of specialty stores, such as the famous Zabar’s gourmet store. Three blocks away is the 1 Train for a quick trip downtown.

As a budget-friendly hotel in New York, the hotel is not beaming with amenities. The cute 80 Riverside Café is a local hit with coffee, tea, pastries, and some lunch items. Just as the amenities are bare, the rooms are also bland and simple. The guestrooms and suites can accommodate single travelers, couples, or groups of three or four. All rooms come equipped with convenient standard amenities such as mini-fridges, free WiFi, microwaves, and air-conditioning units. Some of the two-bedroom suites feature decent views of the Hudson River.

Riverside Tower Hotel is great for travelers on a budget who want to visit the Upper West Side. It offers an attractive area and somewhat peaceful New York stay.
