This was our second visit to New York, returning to the hotel we stayed at in March 2010 for another six night stay. We looked at other hotels but all things considered we decided that this was as good a place as any to lay our heads after a hard day pounding the concrete.

We arrived early therefore our room wasn't available but we got all the formalites out of the way. Yudy on reception was great, friendly and helpful. We headed off for a couple of hours and when we returned we noticed that our room number had changed. Yudy had switched the room to the same as we had March last year, 1505. A nice touch, one that we appreciated.

The rooms are a good base complete with a small kitchenette area that has a fridge, coffee maker and microwave and a modest sized bathroom complete with shampoo's etc. The shower is good, powerful and hot water is no problem. The bed is huge and so comfy, it is without doubt the best holiday bed we have ever slept on. Inside and outside noise was minimal which enabled a good nights sleep.

A frustrating point of the stay was the internet connection. We stayed in an Executive King room which had wifi included. However connection was lacking often. Once connected, the speed was fine though. (Patience isn't a virtue I am blessed with) ;-)

If you like a bath after a hard days exploring give 1505 a miss as the plug in the bath is non-existant meaning its a shower only.

The location is great for all things touristy, it really is a little gem and no plug and outage on the net would not deter us from stopping here for a third time. We won't even contemplate other hotels, we nailed it with this one.

Overall, a great stay. Staff are professional, courteous and make you feel welcome and at home.

If you have any questions, drop me a message. I will be happy to respond.

Enjoy your trip to NY :-)

Stayed here for the first time in January 2012 though it had been recommended to me. Great location and I mean Great! Friendly efficient staff. Solid room too. All round great week at the Belvedere. Like a lot of NYC hotels you have to pay for Internet. I refuse and just use my 3G. If you get an upscale room I think it is free. Overall I highly recommend and will stay again if I can find a deal like this time. Give it a try.

So i live in NYC but stayed here for one night to celebrate my husbands birthday on New Years eve. The room was clean and large for NY standards. I can't add much more since i did not interact with the staff much. The block is very quiet and close to time square if you don't mind the walk.
