The most efficient route is taking the M60 bus from Woodside to Queens Plaza, then transferring to the E or M train—both reach Midtown Manhattan in about 20 minutes. Alternatively, take the Q10 bus to Jackson Heights, then switch to the 7 train, which takes roughly 30 minutes. For a scenic option, rent an e-scooter (like Lime) and ride along Hillside Avenue toward Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, then connect via public transit. Note that while Woodside lacks a direct subway station, the 63rd Street Station (E line) is just a 10-minute walk away, serving as a key gateway to Manhattan.
The M60 + subway transfer combination remains the fastest and most reliable option.

Staying at Franklin Guesthouse was an absolute delight! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the option to check in early (for a small fee), which made our arrival so much smoother. The room was spotlessly clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really stood out was how convenient the location is: just steps away from a cozy corner market where we picked up snacks and essentials. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including public transit that made exploring New York City a breeze. Honestly, I’d have given every category a perfect 5-star rating if it weren’t for the app glitching and automatically unchecking my selections. Despite that minor frustration, this place exceeded my expectations—great value, warm atmosphere, and a homey feel. Definitely planning to return.
Staying at Penny Williamsburg felt like stepping into a vibrant, artistic dream. The colorful, bohemian-inspired design really sets the mood—every corner feels Instagram-worthy.

While the bathroom is on the smaller side and there isn’t much counter space, the view from the window is absolutely breathtaking—like living inside a painting. The compact kitchenette is well-equipped, so I could enjoy my morning coffee in peace and even whip up simple meals. They also left a fresh orange as a welcome gift—such a sweet touch! The bed was incredibly comfortable, with just the right balance of softness and support. Sure, New York prices are always a consideration, but this place delivers exceptional value for the quality and vibe. No complaints here—this is one of those rare stays where everything just clicks.

Absolutely loved my stay at LIC Hotel! The location is perfect—just a short subway ride from downtown Manhattan. The staff were incredibly friendly and the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. I stayed for a full week, and while the breakfast menu was consistent throughout, it was still delicious and satisfying. One small suggestion: adding a fresh tomato and cheese salad to the breakfast spread would make it even better. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money and a truly comfortable experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.
Absolutely loved staying at Sonder Court Square!

I’ve already decided to book again on my next visit. This place truly stands out, and I can’t recommend it enough.

I stayed at the International Students Residence and was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and practical it felt.

There's even a piano in the common area, which adds a nice touch for relaxing or playing during downtime. My room was clean and comfortable, and while the bathroom and shower are shared, they’re well-maintained and functional. It’s affordable without compromising on basics, and being close to public transit makes getting around New York easy. A solid choice for students looking for value and a cozy vibe.
The Box House Hotel exceeded my expectations in nearly every way—except for the front desk staff, who could have been a bit more welcoming. Everything else was top-notch. The location is fantastic: just a short subway ride from downtown Manhattan, with plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. My room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with modern touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the air felt fresh and crisp throughout the stay. I especially appreciated the well-lit bathroom with strong shower pressure and smart storage solutions. Even though the check-in experience wasn’t as warm as I’d hoped, the overall quality of the hotel, the attention to detail, and the value for money made up for it completely. I’d definitely book here again when visiting New York.
This hotel is absolutely stunning—immaculate from top to bottom, and every staff member goes above and beyond with their warmth and professionalism. While the hotel doesn’t offer parking, there’s a great value lot just a two-minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2.5 days, which was incredibly reasonable. The room itself was a dream: exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and a bathroom that felt like a spa—with a massive tub and a powerful shower. Pro tip: if you’re sharing a room with someone you don’t want to see naked, be aware the shower partition isn’t a one-way mirror—you can actually see into it when someone’s showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so no issues there. Both the in-house restaurant and the ramen spot next door are fantastic—definitely worth trying. I didn’t make it to the rooftop bar this time, but since I’ll be back every time I visit NYC, it’s definitely on my list for next time. The room was extremely quiet, and temperature control was effortless. That said, as someone who’s highly sensitive to energy and atmosphere, I did notice some unusual things right from the moment I walked in. Nothing scary—I’m not prone to fear—but I experienced several undeniable phenomena: seeing movement down the hall in both my room and the public corridor, hearing voices speaking clearly nearby when I was alone in the shower, and even hearing the stairwell door open directly beside our room, only to find it empty when I checked. It wasn’t coming from another room—it felt immediate, personal. After returning home, my daughter looked up the building’s history, and let’s just say it shed light on everything. There’s a reason why the third floor (near what used to be a fire escape) felt particularly charged. It also explains why my first thought upon opening the front door was, “I’m surprised they get away with inward-opening doors—this violates fire code.” Anyway, if you’re curious, do your own research. But regardless of all that, this is an exceptional hotel at a fair price, located in a safe and beautiful part of Brooklyn. I’ll be back again without hesitation.
Staying at Aura Hotel Brooklyn was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from subway lines and surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and local shops.

The room was clean, modern, and well-appointed with everything we needed. Comfortable bed, quiet space, and excellent lighting made for a restful night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. If you're visiting Brooklyn, this hotel is a top pick. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and welcoming stay.
