Bentley is a modern hotel, with à really nice restaurant at the 21 nd floor. We were three persons and got a Large room with two twinbeds. Great view over the river! Only thing a bit negative was that it is situated to far East on Manhattan. Otherwise we recommend Bentley warmly!

I visit NYC 8 times a year and stay exclusively at the Bentley. Courteous staff and management, clean rooms with some spectacular City and East River views make this a comfortable place to be.

I'm currently sat in room 1805 writing my review of this hotel, I thought I would do it whilst its still fresh in my head.

I love this hotel. The views are fantastic, the beds are VERY comfortable and the staff is unbelieveable. I've never had a bad experience at this hotel and have been staying here one night every week for the past four years. It has the feel of a boutique hotel, but away from the hustle bustle of midtown. It gives you... More

The whole experience from the time we checked in, until checkout was great. The staff was able to meet all our requests, we're very friendly, and more than accommodating. Hard to find in this day and time. Customer service is paramount in my eyes and they went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel.

Firstly don't expect to check-in on time, I would suggest adding on an extra 2 hours to your supposed check-in time. We arrived half an hour after our supposed check-in time, 3.30 pm to be told that our room wasn't ready. There were approximately half a dozen other guests waiting to be checked in to their room also, including one... More

I stayed here for a work conference. They put me on the 20 th floor directly under their restaurant. The restaurant played loud techno music until well after midnight which basically shook my room. They should never put people on this floor who aren't warned about the disturbing music at night. I would never stay here again.

We booked the Bentley purely because we managed to get a good deal on the price for 3 nights. Hotels in New York City are not cheap but you do pay for what you get, in most cases.
