3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.6 / 5
Morris Guest House is a budget-friendly, 3-star guest house occupying a brownstone building in a historic district of the Bronx, on a quiet, tree-lined residential stretch near Morris Avenue and E Tremont Avenue. The property has a laid-back, low-key atmosphere typical of a small guest house rather than a full-service hotel, with streamlined rooms featuring simple decor, wood floors, and shared bathrooms, and most rooms equipped with air-conditioning. Free Wi-Fi is available in the public areas, and some guests have access to a communal kitchen, making it a practical option for longer or more independent stays. There's no on-site restaurant, but the residential setting puts guests close to public transit for exploring the wider city. The location is especially convenient for nature and wildlife attractions, sitting roughly 1.6 miles from the Bronx Zoo and its adjacent New York Botanical Garden, both reachable via a nearby bus stop. Manhattan's major museums and landmarks -- including Central Park, the Met, the Guggenheim, and Times Square -- are all a subway ride away, roughly 9 to 14 kilometers from the property. Overall, it's a no-frills home base geared toward travelers prioritizing value and location over hotel-style amenities.
Best for
This guest house best suits budget-conscious travelers, solo visitors, and independent explorers who don't mind shared bathrooms in exchange for a quiet residential setting and easy transit access. It's a strong fit for anyone planning to spend time at the Bronx Zoo or New York Botanical Garden, both within about 1.6 miles, or for those wanting a low-cost base with a short subway ride into Manhattan's museum and landmark districts.
Travel tips
The Tremont Avenue subway station is about two blocks away and offers a roughly 14-minute ride into Manhattan, making it easy to reach Central Park, the Met, and other midtown attractions without a car. The 36 bus stops half a block from the guest house and runs directly to the Bronx Zoo, about 1.6 miles away. Since rooms have shared bathrooms and the building sits on a residential street, this is better suited to travelers seeking a quiet, low-key stay rather than resort-style amenities.
