Radio City Apartments

Radio City Apartments Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Radio City Apartments on West 49th Street, I wasn’t expecting much from what looked like just another Midtown building. But you know what? This place actually surprised me in the best way possible. The location is absolutely unbeatable (I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from Radio City Music Hall), and for a three-star property, it punches way above its weight.

What really sets this place apart is that it feels more like having your own apartment in New York than staying in a typical hotel. The units I’ve seen have proper kitchenettes – not those sad little mini-fridges and coffee makers you usually get, but actual counter space where you can spread out your bodega haul or leftover pizza. The rooms are surprisingly spacious for Manhattan standards, which honestly shocked me the first time I stayed there. You can actually open a suitcase without having to climb over it to get to the bathroom. The windows face different directions depending on which unit you get, but even the ones facing the building next door let in decent light – something that’s pretty rare in this part of town.

The staff has this refreshingly no-nonsense approach that feels very New York in the best way. They’ll give you straight answers about everything from where to find good coffee at 6 AM (there’s a cart guy on the corner who makes surprisingly decent espresso) to which subway entrance to use to avoid the tourist crowds. I’ve stayed here during both busy theater season and quieter winter months, and the vibe stays consistently relaxed. Sure, you’ll hear some street noise – it’s 49th Street, not a meditation retreat – but it’s that familiar city hum that actually helps me sleep better than dead silence would. The building itself has this old-school New York character without feeling run-down, and honestly, the whole experience just feels authentic in a way that a lot of Midtown hotels don’t. If you want to feel like a temporary local rather than a tourist passing through, this is your spot.

  The staff, location and the fact it has a kitchenette! The new decor is great!

• Wonderful – Gabriele from Italy – August 21, 2025 (9/10)

• Great stay! Safe, roomy, comfortable, and affordable. Location couldn’t be better. – Spargo from United States – August 19, 2025 (10/10)

  The location is wonderful. My teen daughter and I spent a week exploring. We saw shows, had great meals, wandered through museums, Central Park, and the zoo. Friends in Brooklyn were an easy Uber away.
  
  Our studio was spacious and clean. The kitchenette came in very handy with groceries and pizza right there. And when I decided, a week before our trip, to extend our stay, Tina was wonderful and made it happen.
  
  We will definitely return.

• Great Vacation – Kate from United States – August 18, 2025 (8/10)

  Very clean hotel
