What guests think

At Radio Hotel, guests frequently highlight clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, and reasonable value in Washington Heights, plus convenient subway access, easy driving via the George Washington Bridge, and a popular on-site Dominican restaurant with a pleasant courtyard.

However, the uptown location feels far from Midtown for sightseeing, and several reviews describe a rougher neighborhood vibe. Rooms are often small with minimal storage; design quirks like frosted bathroom panels and sliding doors reduce privacy, and noise from parties or the courtyard can carry. Common frustrations include intermittent hot water or A/C issues, resort fees for basic items, limited in-room amenities (no microwave or coffee maker), and paid parking that is separate and sometimes full; the rooftop is typically closed. Expect a stylish, budget-friendly base uptown with trade-offs in space, noise, and some operations.

Facilities

On-site Jalao restaurant/bar and the courtyard are well liked; the lobby coffee bar is handy. Parking is in a separate paid garage that can be full, the rooftop is typically event-only, and in-room amenities are basic (often no microwave/coffee, ice via front desk); occasional elevator issues and a daily amenity fee drew complaints.

The location leaves a lot to be desired, the area where it is located is really a problem, I do not recommend it at all, then when you are checking in they surprise you with other extra charges for using the "facilities" (none), the rooftop is not enabled, only for events, that is to say in the end you pay more money, you will be far from everything and the area where it is is the worst there is.

The beds are comfortable and the room was OK overall but a few wider issues. The $20 daily amenity fee is a con - it includes WiFi (which I don’t expect to pay for in 2025) gym access (ditto) and a limited (and very poor quality) range of cocktails at the hotel bar. Staff at reception were mixed - the guy who checked us in was arrogant and condescending, the lady at check out was very pleasant. It’s not awful but if you’re staying here because it looks good value, give it a second thought.

Says parking is available. Used the parking garage/valet when first arrived. Was staying there to catch a baseball game. Before leaving for the game, asked the valet how late are they open for, they told me 24/7, and I asked if I would have a spot when I get back. They told me it’s first come first served but I should be fine. Didn’t get back from the game till around 1am. Garage full, no one is there to help me. The lady at the front desk said I would have to park on the street. After driving around for 20 minutes to find a parking spot on the street, found one about eight blocks away from the hotel. I’m so not happy or impressed. If the hotel is advertised parking available, spots need to be saved for people who are staying at the hotel. I don’t even care that there was a fee for parking there.

This hotel met my basic need to be close to the Armory and the subway but the rooms are extremely small with no closet, no ice machines, no microwave, and housekeeping did not clean our room. We were gone all day and we were told they missed our room and housekeeping only worked 8-2. Also we had an issue with the temperature in our room being too hot and after 2 visits from engineering, no resolution. Don’t bring all that good NY food back to your room because you won’t be able to warm it up. They say they don’t have a microwave, but they sell microwave oatmeal in the convenience store. If you want ice, you have to get cups of ice from the front desk and since our room was so warm, they melted within minutes.

The hotel itself was very nice in the lobby and hallways. The staff were pleasant upon check in around 6pm. We had to drop off of things and go to make the Yankees game, so we left almost immediately. Unfortunately, when we got back into the room around 11pm, we noticed the bathroom was not cleaned or not cleaned well enough. To be frank, there was hair (possibly pubic?) stuck to the sliding bathroom door that was immediately visible when the door was closed. The door was also disgusting in other areas with soap? or toothpaste? that was dripped on the door. There was no soap to wash our hands and had to use the body wash. I went down to the front desk to address these issues, however the employee behind the desk was unable to help as housekeeping was not available. I was told that she would attempt to get us a bar of soap, but that never happened. The were no other rooms available for us either. That night we also discovered that some of the lights in the room were malfunctioning/not working. As a heads up to anyone planning to stay in a double bed suite, there is a glass wall that separates the bathroom from the sleeping area. Unfortunately, this wall is shared with the shower in the bathroom. This means that when you are showering, anyone in the room can see a rather detailed outline of whomever is showering. It's not quite see-through, but absolutely see-through enough that not much is left to the imagination.

The plus of this property is it seems safe enough inside. It was semi clean, besides the booger on the bedsheets and no soap for the bathroom sink. The misconceptions are the “valet” parking. There is none. You have to drive around until you find parking at a garage, in an area that isn’t super great for vacationers. Another stretch the truth is the no smoking policy. Maybe they don’t allow it right on premises, but we had to walk through clouds of refer smoke at the front door to get into the building and could smell it coming in the vents of our room. Not exactly appealing. The surrounding area is not for tourists. Very dirty and maybe unsafe for wandering.

I stayed in room 511. The room had bed bugs. I have never had bed bugs noir slept in a hotel room which had bed bugs. I came home with several hard bumps on both my ankles. I did not realize what kind of bites they were until I returned home. I believe I was bitten Fri or Sat night as we returned home Sunday morning. I called the hotel to let them know the room had bed bugs and needed to be checked. I was told "the hotel did not have bed bugs. No one had complained. How would the person on the phone know there were no bed bugs in the room? They would not know but the point was to deflect and not take the complaint seriously....from a person who had stayed in the hotel room 3 days before I contacted the hotel....I would not recommend Radio Hotel.

Night shift customer service is awful. My second night here I was not able to get any sleep due to what the receptionist called a 'roof top' party. I asked her if she could do anything about the noise and she said no, but the way she said no was like she couldn't care less. She was very dismissive and cold, and didn't try to hear out my concerns about the noise. In our room there were no chairs, and no closet to store clothing. Also the coffee here is NOT complimentary. Expect to pay anywhere between $4-$6 from anywhere to a simple black coffee to their other drinks on the menu. The only upside was when I was checking out the next morning and the receptionist asked how everything was. After I explained my experience to her, they managed to issue me a partial refund for my stay. That is the only reason why I am not giving a 1 star review. Overall, you are better off spending your money at a different hotel.

I stayed here for a week after a fire in my building and had a great experience. It’s not in the best area for tourists but for a local it’s fine. But the hotel is super clean, the staff couldn’t have been lovelier or kinder, and who can be mad at a coffee bar at the front desk? Now I have a place to recommend near my home. Thank you, Radio Hotel staff, for taking such good care of me and giving me and my two cats a safe place to lay our heads when it felt like the world was crashing down on them.

Stay at Radio Hotel! I absolutely adore this hotel and highly recommend it to anyone who is coming to the Manhattan area. Transportation by Subway or taxi / Uber is convenient and not particularly expensive. The subway trip is uncomplicated, in case you're a little timid about subways. The staff are fantastic all around. Twice, a staff member went out of her way to problem solve for me, creatively, making my visit considerably better. The rooms are colorful and designed thoughtfully, the beds are very comfortable, the lobby is bright and has very interesting art. The whole energy of the place makes you feel happy. I would say the best things about the hotel are the colorful, Cozy rooms and the Fantastic, helpful, and good looking staff members. You will not be disappointed if you stay at Radio Hotel!!

I was only there for one short stay (night) so I base my review largely on the fact that I sat at a near empty, small bar for nearly 15 minutes while staff ran back and forth getting and making drinks. There was one woman who was preparing a drink with a blow torch who was probably the bar tender, but not a friendly word from anyone. A simple "I'll we right with you" would have be huge.

I selected Radio Hotel because it was the only decent-looking hotel in Manhattan at a reasonable price that day. Location was much farther uptown than I've ever stayed so I was a little hesitant, but ultimately the reviews were positive, so I went for it. Hotel itself is quite lovely. An old building that's been retrofitted into a cool modern hotel. Typical of Manhattan, my room was tiny, but served my purpose. Service was friendly and helpful. The resort fee that's required and only gets you watered-down cocktails or a cheap beverage from the cooler is frustrating but becoming the norm nowadays for hotels. The location is GREAT for someone that's driving INTO the city but doesn't want to drive AROUND the city. Coming in on the George Washington Bridge and taking the Cross Bronx Expressway you can exit very close to the hotel and the on-ramp to get back on the expressway is literally across the street from the hotel. Easy in and easy out. Secure parking garage just around the corner. The subway is a couple of blocks away, but it's a perfectly fine walk. Just plan a long time if you're trying to get to Midtown because of how far North it is. Probably wouldn't be my first choice to stay at again because of how disconnected it is from Midtown, but certainly no regrets. If it was the best option, I would have no hesitation to stay here again.

Stayed here for World Series Game 5. Convenience to the stadium and subway was great. It was just a single subway from Penn Station and then a couple block walk. Then a bus that goes to the corner is a straight shot to the stadium. Thanks to the hotel staff for letting us know about the bus. With traffic, I'm sure an Uber would have taken longer and cost 10x. Restaurant was a nice classy experience for right before the game. I definitely would go back if in town for a game.
