About Explorers House Upper Westside


Explorer's House NYC is New York's best-valued accommodation. Not only do we price match, but we dare you to find a better valued accommodation in Manhattan.

We are located in the Upper West Side of Historic Manhattan, in a brownstone building, on a tree lined street, in the Columbia University area, just a 10 minute stroll from Central Park, and a short, subway or bus ride to attractions such as The Museum of Natural History, Tavern on the Green, Lincoln Center, Broadway Theatres, Times Square, and the Apollo Theater.

Our dorms are set in large rooms, where you have plenty of mobility and storage space, and the rooms individually lock. Find yourself carried away by the victorian ambience. Our 5 gorgeous, private bedrooms, and two dorms, are individually decorated with a touch of seven, stately finishes, which draw you into the lives of the previous owners and occupants, past and present.
