Hotel Directory
Ye Olde Carlton Arms Hotel
A somewhat divisive 'art' hotel that lots of people really love for its location and pricing, but which you're going to dislike if you're humourless, or are a stickler for high levels of cleanliness. The rooms are individually designed with striking, and sometimes shocking, motifs, and the casual air recalls a backpacker's hostel but with individual rooms. Bohemian, definitely.

City Rooms NYC – Chelsea
This small hotel – there are just 13 rooms - is popular for its keen pricing and convenient location near the transit hub of Penn Station. The simple rooms feature a splashy image on one wall and offer varying bed configurations, but only feature sinks – bathrooms are shared. They do have minifridges, though.

The Jane
For an affordable stay in a great downtown location, it's hard to top the Jane. Rooms are clean if decidedly small and play off a nautical theme. Those used to life at sea won't mind the 'cabins', which are a mere 5sq m (50sq ft) in size. The bigger 'Captain's Cabins' are roomier at 23sq m (250sq ft) and have flat-screen TVs and iPod docks.
