The Best Affordable Hotels in New York City

"Neighborhood: NoMadPrice: From $271 per night Located just a few blocks south of the Empire State Building, this boutique hotel gives off more of a cosy, upstate New York vibe than big-city, thanks to king-sized beds on platforms topped with shibori-style linens and hand-carved stone sinks. But take one step out onto your Juliet balcony and you’ll be treated to classic Manhattan views for blocks (so many water towers!). Also notable for a small hotel is Made’s wide range of dining and drinking options on site, including Debajo for tapas, coffee shop Paper, plus the lively Lobby Bar and the gorgeous, sun-drenched Good Behavior lounge on the 18th floor." - Juliet Izon
