I booked this hotel based on location and the price ($199/nite). The location was good - short walk from Times Square, Rockefeller Center, etc. Lots of train lines nearby as well. I have to say, the hotel was quite the dump. Our room was dingy, the rug was ripped up, the TV was terrible (but who watches TV), the bathroom... more

I stayed i 3G for a week. 3G is third floor on the corner of 57th street and 6th Avenue. This makes sure that you can hear the city, how ever after a full day of sightseeing even our 2 year old daughter had no problem sleeping. In my oppinion the noice of the city is part of the experience.... more

We booked this for a week in December when visitin the city. All the rooms are suites so there is plenty of room for everyone and everything (which is hard to find in NYC!). The beds and furniture, while basic and generic is style, were all very comfortable and clean. The bathroom, however spotlessly clean, looked like it was last... more

I had been slightly dubious about booking this hotel due to the varied comments which I found on Trip Advisor. In the end we decided to book it because the price was really good. We booked it online using Lastminute.com. Arrived at the hotel and from the exterior it looked pretty good. The booking in experience was good and quick.... more

This hotel is all about "value." I put value in quotes because it depends on what you paid. First, it's an old apartment building converted to a hotel. The studios are no bigger than a hotel room but the full one bedrooms are outstanding. Where else do you get like 700sf in NYC?! If you pay more than $350 a... more

Hotel was noisy and furnishings were dated. Our first room reeked of cigarette smoke and when we turned on the lamp the shade fell off. The couch was so shabby I wouldn't have sat on it. I immediately requested another room and it was only slightly better. Hotel location was the best feature. We would never stay here again. more

An unusual hotel in that there is no bar or restaurant, not even for breakfast or a coffee, but it's in a great location with a good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants very close by. In that way you spend less time in the hotel and more time getting a feel for the city, which is the whole point... more

The hotel's location is great, close to everything! 5-10 minutes walk from broadway, 3 minutes walk to the fifth avenue and 2 mintes walk to the central park, with a subway station right next to the hotel! the rooms where pretty and very clean, just like living in New York.. we went to a close supermarket and bought food, and... more

My sister, my friend and myself have just returned from a great trip to New York. It fell to me to arrange accommodation; our primary concerns were space with some basic kitchen facilities, location in central New York and reasonable rates. After many nights trawling through the internet I came up with the Buckingham which had all the above. However,... more
