So me and my friend are travelling next month... We're looking for somewhere nice & clean to stay in New York... ideally Brooklyn, but we don't mind Manhattan. Any ideas as to where would be a good place to look or stay?

Brooklyn! You have great taste! There are many nice B&Bs in Brooklyn's brownstone neighborhoods, a nice Mariot in Downtown Brooklyn and a new Holiday Inn(which I heard is strangely expensive) Use search to get a list of B&Bs to call.

I;ve bgeen told that The 96th street YMCA in Manahattan is the cheapest place that a decent person would stay at.

Here is a pretty good link to help you find a hotel that's not going to empty you pocket book.http://www.new-york-hotels.bz/new-york-discount-hotels.phphttp://www.new-york-city.cc/

Try the hotel 17 on 17th street near the east village here's a link the the NY times review http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/north-america/united-states/new-york/new-york-city/hotel-detail.html?vid=1154660211606&inline=nyt-classifier

There's some great tips here, but once you've found a bunch of hotels that you like, try this site for last minute deals at a fraction of the cost with many popular brands :New York City : http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/United-States/New-York-City/Personally I like the self catering Woogoo Apatment hotels - the rooms are fabulous.For the benefit of those in other languages :Espana : http://www.hotelsespanol.com/United-States/New-York-City/Deutsche: http://www.hotelsdeutsche.com/United-States/New-York-City/Francais : http://www.hotelsenfrancais.com/United-States/New-York-City/Italiano : http://www.hotelsitaliano.com/United-States/New-York-City/

Hotel 17 is very good value for money and in a great location in Manhattan if you decide to stay there. It is shared bathrooms but the rooms and bathrooms are spotless, and the whole place has tons of character.I spent ages checking out hotels in NYC before we went, and there seemed to be loads of cool looking B&Bs in Brooklyn so they'd probably be a good bet as well.

For budget hotel accomodations, I steer people towards two places: 1. The Woogo hotel on 79th and Broadway. Technically, this IS a hotel, but it's more like staying in someone's apartment: You have all the comforts of home (kitchen, dishes, etc.), albeit in a very small space. Linens are changed twice weekly, so you really feel like you're a guest at someone's home. The Upper West Side is a prime location too: You can be in Central Park in ten minutes, or at Lincoln Center in fifteen.2. The Hotel Carter. Not quite as nice as the Woogo, but the location is very "New York:" Right in the heart of Times Square. Their rooms are famously $99, which is a veritable STEAL in New York. It's nothing fancy, but it's safe, clean and functional.Have a great trip!Kango Traveler
