The Most Budget-Friendly Hotels In The Bronx New York City

The Bronx still hasn’t entirely shed its gritty, street-smart image. But look beyond that and you’ll find plenty of great reasons to visit the birthplace of hip-hop. It’s home to America’s largest zoo and Yankee Stadium for a start, home to the legendary New York baseball team, as well as the “real” Little Italy and a surprising abundance of leafy, green spaces. For places to stay, we’ve picked out some of the best cheap hotels in the Bronx, where the budget-conscious can still find comfort where it counts.

1. Best Western Plus Stadium Inn

As most will guess from the name, the main selling point of this purpose-built hotel is its proximity to the Yankee Stadium – you can walk there in less than 10 minutes. Easy access to Major Deegan Expressway and George Washington Bridge also makes getting in and out of town a breeze. Smart modern rooms make for a comfortable stay, and upper levels treat guests to some superb cityscape views of Manhattan.

2. Comfort Inn & Suites Near Stadium

Just across the river from Third Avenue Bridge, this Comfort Inn & Suites delivers on everything you might expect from the wallet-friendly chain. Rooms are bright and modern with the bonus of coffee-makers, microwaves, and mini-fridges as standard. Wake up to free hot waffles for breakfast, before jumping on the nearby subway to explore The Bronx – the Yankee Stadium is a few stops away, and the zoo and the Bronx Museum of Arts a short hop by bus.

3. Ramada by Wyndham Bronx

Set on the leafy west side of South Bronx, this new-build hotel is just steps from the Bronx Terminal Market and the Universal Hip-Hop Museum – a must for anyone interested in the history of the genre. Baseball fans are also just 10 minutes on foot from Yankee Stadium. Splash out for a studio suite and you’ll get an in-room hot tub to aid relaxation before turning in for the night. Not bad for a budget base.

5. Opera House Hotel

Hotel

Once the home of the Bronx Opera House, this hallowed architectural gem is one of the borough’s more storied spots to stay – Harry Houdini and the Marx Brothers are known to have trodden the boards here. Its hotel incarnation has kept much of the old-school New York feel, with the addition of plush guest rooms and a particularly helpful concierge. What’s more, the Yankee Stadium is 1.5mi (2.4km) away and the nearest subway is just a couple of blocks away too.

6. Morris Guest House

Budget Hotel

Exposed red-brick walls, wood floors, and stripped-down furnishings give the rooms at the Morris Guest House a feeling of low-key, urban chic. Amenities include air conditioning and smart TVs with free Netflix, but bear in mind all bathrooms are shared. Its location on a leafy, residential street in the Mount Hope neighborhood puts you within striking distance of Little Italy. Hop on public transport and you can be at Bronx Zoo in about 15 minutes.
