...Location of the hotel in Uppe West Side, in the proximity of the subway on Broadway makes it very accesible...

...We stayed for 4 nights and found the staff very helpful and the location was ideal with its close proximity to Central Park...

We found the location very comfortable many attractions were in a walking distance and the subways too...

...The location was great for the upper west side with easy access to the pier, restaurants, shopping, green space, and the subway...

...The hotel's location was a real highlight for us – really close to the subway and had some great food options, making our 6 day stay an easy one...

...Hotel's location is quite central to most things, convenient to subway, close to both Central Park and Riverside Park...

The room is well cared for, extremely comfortable, the front desk staff are courteous and helpful and the location is perfect...

...The location right next to Central Park is truly ideal, and not only the decoration of this hotel is very charming and perfectly curated (absolutely loved the authentic carpeted corridors and the black and white style of the bathroom), but our room was also surprisingly large, which was so enjoyable...

The location of this hotel is near the subway, a short 2 blocks to west end, 4 blocks to Central Park...

...It’s surprisingly affordable for the size of the rooms (comfortable), level of service (impressive), style (tasteful and elegant), and location (near Central Park and subway)...

...The hotel is at a prime location, heart of UWS, with CVS and a bunch of cafes, restaurants within 5mins walking distance...

...We love the location with short walks (about a mile) through Central Park to the Met, Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall...

...She uses her knowledge of the hotel to help us find the room location that suits us perfectly...

...The location is wonderful, and we ate dinner on Friday night right across the street at Serafina...

...The location was ideal for us and we were happy to have chosen it over Time Square which is a super busy and overcrowed area... Despite some less positive points that really need to be improved, we would return to this hotel for the fantastic location and cleanliness of the rooms...

Our stay at the hotel was amazing the location of the hotel and the price of the hotel you cannot beat it!...

Absolutely perfect location close to Central Park, museums, amazing restaurants, entertainment, shopping, transit, and more bakeries than I could count including Mille-feuille downstairs (divine mini cranberry pumpkin seed loaves, nutella plie, blueberry croissant, 5-star espresso, and their signature macarons)...

...It’s a great location and we were able to take the train to within two blocks of its location on 77th and Broadway...

...The location is great, and the reception staff, especially Benedict, were very helpful and welcoming...

...Really nice location - we cancelled our hotel on Times Square to stay here instead and we’re glad we did as it’s much nicer and more of a real New York feel...

...We loved the simple charm and appreciated the size of our suite on the third floor...

...He has an eye for design and was excellent at making my guest experience memorable! It was my first time staying with Belleclaire and he made sure I loved my room, much appreciated!...

...The location right next to Central Park is truly ideal, and not only the decoration of this hotel is very charming and perfectly curated (absolutely loved the authentic carpeted corridors and the black and white style of the bathroom), but our room was also surprisingly large, which was so enjoyable...

...Loved the art deco vibe and the $20 daily coupons to the Mille Feuille bakery - great pastries and coffee there. I highly recommend staying here away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Manhattan but my only complaint would be that the walls are thin so we could hear people talking and playing music in the room next door and we got a noise complaint from the lobby one night when we were only talking...

...Conveniently located with close access to the metro, it was quiet at night, clean, comfortable and tasteful. There were a few add-ons that really made it special - including a wine hour in the afternoon and live jazz...

...Johnathan, Francille & Shanies surprised us with macarons & a bottle of wine as we were celebrating our late Christmas present with tickets to a show at the nearby Beacon Theatre...

...The rooms were comfortable and modern, and there's a French cafe downstairs with delicious pastries for breakfast...

...The rooms are very clean, well-designed, and comfortable (comfy linens, pillows, nicely done lighting, quiet A/C)...

We loved the Hotel Belleclaire for its simple charm, and we slept very well in comfy beds and crisp linens. We had a family suite which was clean and comfy...

...We had a corner room (deluxe king), which was spacious, quiet, clean, and charming, with an art deco vibe fitting the age of the building... The pillows could have been a bit softer, but that's my only complaint, really...

...The extra touches that make our stays special come from Shanies st the front desk...

...The elevators are small but the stairwells are very pretty with marble and iron rails, if you prefer to walk up to your room...

...The gracious Shanies was helpful in every way fm suggesting nearby shops to giving me the perfect room...

...), he assigned us a terrific spot that was just what we’d wished for..light/space/sharp upbeat design..& we quickly freshened up and set out for our evening with a real spring in our step!...

...this we really appreciated.The room itself was perfect spotlessly clean beautifully decorated and warm with everything you could possibly want.We were also provided with breakfast vouchers for the patisserie next door (delicious Coffee and pastries served by charming staff) The neighbourhood was ideal (Upper west side ) away from all the craziness of the more touristy spots but just a short subway ride 7 minutes to times square.Another mention for Maria the lovely Receptionist so helpful and welcoming.All in all a lovely lovely Hotel the very best by far ,already planning our next trip for December 23.Thankyou Benedict and Maria and all the staff that work so hard to provide such a fabulous experience...

...The entrance/lobby is lovely and the staff who greeted us were nice and friendly... We were upgraded to a king room which was lovely and the bed and pillows were comfortable especially after a long day of walking...

...The foyer is beautiful and when we arrived we were warmly greeted by Benedict who was excellent during our entire 4 night stay... Our room (2 double beds) was beautifully appointed and newly decorated...

...One very silly highlight of mine was the music in the lobby. I felt like they stole my playlist!...

...Literally nowhere to put anything or hang anything up... The hotel was closed and refurbished during the pandemic, so it’s fresh and nicely decorated...

Hotel Belleclaire offers modern minimalist decor in an old-time hotel with some degree of charm... Cons: narrow halls branching off the main corridor (tight for bulky suitcases, and seemingly likely to get clogged in an evacuation scenario); rather austere room decor; no carpeting in the rooms (an element of the spartan feel)...

We stayd for 7 nights at this hotel and had booked 2 rooms. The hotel is really basic with rather small rooms and no windows opening and very small washbasins and bathrooms...

We had a three-bed family suite, consisting of two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and one bathroom...

An excellent choice for a mid-range hotel on the upper west side of Manhattan - an area notorious for limited hotel options. The rooms were big for Manhattan, the shower actually had water pressure, and the bakery downstairs made good croissants...

...The rooms were comfortable and modern, and there's a French cafe downstairs with delicious pastries for breakfast. When we first arrived to check in, Shanies at the front desk didn't hesitate to go above and beyond to switch room types for one of the couples we were traveling with...

I booked Hotel Belleclaire through Booking.com, which usually has better prices than the hotels’ websites... Old place, but modern appointments in our room...

We loved the Hotel Belleclaire for its simple charm, and we slept very well in comfy beds and crisp linens. We had a family suite which was clean and comfy... We did have to request an additional washcloth each day as we were always given two for a suite with 3 beds and 3 guests...

...The room's view of the Hudson River was spectacular... Cleaning staff always had our beds made and bathrooms cleaned before we returned from our adventures in the city...

...The hotel, opened in 1903, has a very beautiful architecture... There was some confusion with our rooms, but it was quickly resolved... The rooms were very good and looked very clean and renovated... You could hear everything and it seemed that the guests in the rooms next door were in our own room, which is not pleasant as it seems that there is no privacy... Despite some less positive points that really need to be improved, we would return to this hotel for the fantastic location and cleanliness of the rooms...

...The rooms are spacious and the bathroom products are the best. Housekeeping is very professional and the rooms are sparkling clean... The only reason why I’m not giving 5 stars is because there is no coffee machine in any room, you have vouchers for breakfast to use at the coffee/french bakery place downstairs...

...You’re really close to a couple of trains, and there are a lot of things to do within walking distance the room size was actually quite nice...

My spontaneous decision to get a room last night was made a wonderful experience by the staff at the front desk. The gracious Shanies was helpful in every way fm suggesting nearby shops to giving me the perfect room...

...Unfortunately, my room was absolutely tiny (basically large enough for a queen bed and a little bit of space to maneuver around it) and the "view" out of the window was over a stairwell so dark I couldn't tell if it was night or day... For almost $500 a night I would expect something much much better... I never write reviews, but the quality of this room was so shocking given the price that I wanted to let others know...

...The bathroom window in my room is in need of insulation around the edges as cold air comes in all the time... A hotel of this stature should offer modern amenities in the room...

I stayed at this hotel on Friday 12/9 and booked a room for 2 nights. On Saturday 12/10 I had an emergency and had to leave at around 10am and asked the front desk since it was very early if I could get a partial refund for that second night since they had plenty of time to get rid of my room... The woman said since I booked online they can’t do anything... There was also nothing special about this hotel room was small and no amenities...

...Room is simple and tiny as described by other travelers with close to nothing amenities... Want to say thank you to one of the housekeeping staff (whom I forgot to ask for his/her name) who delivered a beyond standard tidiness for my room...

...so we were a little frazzled to say the least.We were warmly greeted by Benedict getting our stay off to a good start.He then kindly gave us a larger room than we had booked !! this we really appreciated.The room itself was perfect spotlessly clean beautifully decorated and warm with everything you could possibly want.We were also provided with breakfast vouchers for the patisserie next door (delicious Coffee and pastries served by charming staff) The neighbourhood was ideal (Upper west side ) away from all the craziness of the more touristy spots but just a short subway ride 7 minutes to times square.Another mention for Maria the lovely Receptionist so helpful and welcoming.All in all a lovely lovely Hotel the very best by far ,already planning our next trip for December 23.Thankyou Benedict and Maria and all the staff that work so hard to provide such a fabulous experience...

...But maybe it was the discounted TravelZoo deal that we took advantage of to book our stay (I don’t know for sure) but the room we got was small/poky and without any basic amenities that you expect in a hotel room of today (coffee maker, glasses)... And yes I know NY hotel rooms are known to be on the ‘small side’, however having stayed in many hotels over the years this was just a case of poor design...

...Hotel Belleclaire was a wonderful find!... When we first arrived Benedict was so friendly and upgraded our room for us so we didn't have to share a bed... The room was super clean and although on the smaller side, it was totally adequate and surprisingly quiet... We requested TP for the room because for some reason it was hiding in the closet rather than hung in the bathroom so we didn't see it... We asked if there were any blankets available and were given nice quality blankets for each bed also within minutes... I was also pleasantly surprised that our room received a cleaning and a turn down service while we were out exploring the city...

...But the amenities are limited: the rooms are very small, there is no room service or coffee maker in the rooms... The room was cleaned daily, but there were areas under the bed and along the wall which had not been cleaned in awhile...

...The front desk staff were great, stored my bags, offered local info and told me they would call me as soon as my room was available. I went and grabbed a late lunch at the restaurant across the street and my room was ready ASAP... I can be a little picky so when I asked about changing rooms to one that faced the street the desk staff were great and were able to move me the next morning with no trouble...

...Dorm room size unit... Just pastries and yogurt…no eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc... Difficult to recommend at NYC prices...

...The rates are comparable to name brand hotels but be aware the total rate needs to include taxes to get a fair comparison... The bellman arranged a private black car ride to LGA that ended up costing only slightly more than our cab ride from the airport...

...Great breakfast at the French bakery on the ground floor - vouchers included in your room price...

...Comfortable, relatively inexpensive (well, it's New York), perfectly located, surrounded by excellent restaurants, close to the subway, and walking distance to Riverside and Central parks...

An excellent choice for a mid-range hotel on the upper west side of Manhattan - an area notorious for limited hotel options...

...Our room package included a daily voucher to the French bakery downstairs that served La Colombe Coffee and a huge selection of tasty bakery items as well as baguette sandwiches, and quiches...

...It’s surprisingly affordable for the size of the rooms (comfortable), level of service (impressive), style (tasteful and elegant), and location (near Central Park and subway)...

I booked Hotel Belleclaire through Booking.com, which usually has better prices than the hotels’ websites. Great location in Manhattan which will mean higher price... But I thought the price was a good value for being close to the subway, restaurants, museums, and access to Time Square, shows, and Central Park... Breakfast French pastries included with vouchers...

...The doorman (name escapes me) tended to our bag storage and transportation to the airport for less than the cost of Uber...

...The hotel, opened in 1903, has a very beautiful architecture... Our stay included breakfast (with this additional cost paid in advance)... The hotel has a direct connection to a bakery-coffe shop (Mille-Feuille) and gives guests daily vouchers worth $10 per person... Prices in NY are high, so 10$ to cover breakfast helps, but not much...

Our stay at the hotel was amazing the location of the hotel and the price of the hotel you cannot beat it!...

...The vouchers for breakfast were a plus, and there were gluten free options for my celiac husband...

...You cant buy much with your 10 doller voucher a day though... I knew I had to pay the daily tax of 21 dollers a night... and a deposit of 100 dollers as per website...

...The rooms are spacious for NYC and the service impecable. I travel to NYC a lot for work but usually stay downtown at hotels that are 3x as expensive and the Belleclaire rooms and amenities were comprable if not better but the service blew all the fancy downtown hotels out of the water...

...The staff were really helpful you get charged a damage deposit so bring a credit card which is refunded back minus the resort fee, but when I came to check put i was charged for the room again even though I had paid for the room a few months back, Maria sorted everything out and refunded everything back including the resort fee as it was a mistake on there side which I was very thankful for, I just need to wait for my credit card statement to reflect this. MARIA deserves a special mention she is a credit to the hotel...

...Along with the great value for price, you get a complimentary pastry and drink for breakfast which was well welcomed...

...The $120 taxi fare from JFK airport can be easily avoided by taking the Air Train ($8) to Howard Beach then the subway ($2.95) to Columbus Circle (about 20 or 21 stops)... It is also worth buying the $33 (7 day unlimited rides) on the subway and bus ticket...

...Hotel Belleclaire was a wonderful find! An affordable option in the heart of NY that has grand style with modern updates and is connected to a lovely French bakery where you can enjoy a delicious pastry and a coffee or OJ on the house... It's a great value and the location can't be beat...

...Belleclaire is a decent clean no frills hotel on west 77 St in NYCity. I think it’s too expensive for what you get however it’s convenient to the subway and ad long as you can afford it it’s fine...

...We took the red-eye in from SF and they offer, for a small fee, a 10:00am check-in, which is a wonderful amenity... All of this, and at a very reasonable price for a New York hotel...

...Our room had a wonderful view of the Hudson and the room was ample size and it felt modern and clean...

...The room was immaculate and the queen bed comfortable, as were the pillows. I loved that the floors were not carpeted: so much cleaner!... The bathroom was new and the shower had good water pressure...

...The rooms were large, clean and the beds were extremely comfortable... When we had minor requests, like extra towels, they were brought up within minutes...

...Very clean and comfortable room with a nice sized bathroom. Absolutely the best shower we’ve ever experienced in a hotel stay - crazy amounts of water pressure and plenty of hot water...

...We had a family suite which was clean and comfy. Water pressure on the 7th floor was great with plenty of hot water... We did have to request an additional washcloth each day as we were always given two for a suite with 3 beds and 3 guests...

...Cleaning staff always had our beds made and bathrooms cleaned before we returned from our adventures in the city...

...Monika in housekeeping checked in with our needs since we kept our 'don't disturb sign' hanging... Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious for our family of 4... With updated windows, the room was super quiet...

...We had a corner room (deluxe king), which was spacious, quiet, clean, and charming, with an art deco vibe fitting the age of the building...

Our room was teeny tiny (even for NYC) with no closet but very clean with high quality towels and linen...

...The rooms are very clean, clean towels each day. Shower was glorious and the area is out of the hustle and bustle of times sq still loads of shops near by and close to a subway...

...Given the age of the hotel, the stairs and corridors are a bit dated, but they are clean and well maintained. The rooms were very good and looked very clean and renovated... Despite some less positive points that really need to be improved, we would return to this hotel for the fantastic location and cleanliness of the rooms...

We were upgraded to the deluxe suite for free by Maria and we had a pleasant 3 nights and 4 day stay, the suite was immaculate and was cleaned daily, we were charged a resort fee which included breakfast at the French cafe attached to the hotel and the selection they had was amazing and it tasted good... MARIA deserves a special mention she is a credit to the hotel... She is very kind and always has a smile and goes the extra mile to make sure everything was sorted out...

...Want to say thank you to one of the housekeeping staff (whom I forgot to ask for his/her name) who delivered a beyond standard tidiness for my room...

...this we really appreciated.The room itself was perfect spotlessly clean beautifully decorated and warm with everything you could possibly want.We were also provided with breakfast vouchers for the patisserie next door (delicious Coffee and pastries served by charming staff) The neighbourhood was ideal (Upper west side ) away from all the craziness of the more touristy spots but just a short subway ride 7 minutes to times square.Another mention for Maria the lovely Receptionist so helpful and welcoming.All in all a lovely lovely Hotel the very best by far ,already planning our next trip for December 23.Thankyou Benedict and Maria and all the staff that work so hard to provide such a fabulous experience...

...It’s a beautiful old building nicely restored with a quaint French bakery attached... We arrived early, around 12 noon, but Maria, at the front desk, was wonderful and allowed us an early check-in at one, once the room was clean...

This is a great choice for a hotel with a fantastic location, a solid breakfast and wine bar and clean/comfortable rooms...

...The room was super clean and although on the smaller side, it was totally adequate and surprisingly quiet. The towels were bright white and very absorbant... The sheets and pillows were so comfortable and also white & crisp... We requested TP for the room because for some reason it was hiding in the closet rather than hung in the bathroom so we didn't see it... I was also pleasantly surprised that our room received a cleaning and a turn down service while we were out exploring the city...

...Rooms are recently renovated, comfy bed, nice linens and towels... Housekeeping was a bit spotty which is the only reason I give it four vs five stars...

...While the rooms are rather small (it is New York after all), they are clean, modern and well maintained...

...The hotel has been recently renovated so the room we stayed in was modern and clean while the building itself holds a classic charm...

Just a couple of corners fom the Cenral park, a corner from a Metro station, everything looks like you are in the middle of the city but without noise, trafic jam and lots of people on the street...

...Everything I love about New York with the hassles of Midtown noise and crowds...

...I highly recommend staying here away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Manhattan but my only complaint would be that the walls are thin so we could hear people talking and playing music in the room next door and we got a noise complaint from the lobby one night when we were only talking...

...Very close to shopping on Columbus Ave. At night, there was not a lot of city noise...

...Some traffic noise but it’s right on Broadway so it has to be expected...

...The only one negative thing was the perpament noise of the AC at the neighbor building. But, after walking a whole day in NYC we slept very well espite the noise...

...You just couldn't relax in the lobby with the noise...

...We wanted a hotel away from all the noise of times square but still within walking distance... Our room was generally quiet but you were woken early by the noise of people running their shower in the next room...

...One would think there would be a lot of street noise being located on Broadway but not in our room...

...We checked in late (10pm) and Michael was wonderful at the desk. Sare met us at the car, loaded our bags, got us to our room and knew what we would need before we could ask (more towels and water)... Francelle and Shanies at the front desk were very helpful during our stay... Breakfast vouchers for Mille Fuille (the bakery attached to the hotel) were given one for each of us per night of our stay... Yet, the bakery knows how to move people through... There were four of us in a double queen room and it was not a problem... CVS across the street for anything the hotel can’t provide...

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Belleclaire very much... The hotel staff were very friendly, helpful, and responsive... Great lounge music every time we got off the elevator too!... Also, the breakfast vouchers for Mille-Feuille Bakery Cafe were so appreciated (the polar opposite of a generic continental breakfast)... We could have used a few more hangers for clothing and the bathroom needs more hooks for towels and washcloths...

...While the rooms and general ambiance throughout the hotel are lovely, and the location is wonderful, it is the staff that make Hotel Belleclaire truly shine above the rest! Literally every staff person we encountered (and there are many when you stay somewhere a whole week) seemed genuinely interested in ensuring our stay was as great as possible... They all went above and beyond to help us when we reached out with a need or request... We'd like to give a special, huge thank you to Shanice who took very good care of us upon our arrival, helping us solve an unforeseen (by myself) issue, and to Maria and Hector who helped us kindly throughout our stay as well... From the front desk, to housekeeping to the building engineer and all the incredible staff in-between, they all exceeded our expectations with their professionalism and authentic care... We could not be more grateful for such a dreamy stay and would highly recommend Hotel Belleclaire!...

...Location, staff, cleanliness, all top notch... We were a party of four and the clerk would only give me vouchers for three while the reservation confirmation clearly stated breakfast for four... The hotel's breakfast room is located on street level and I needed to wear my winter coat to breakfast due to the arctic winds and freezing temperatures that accompanied my coffee and croissant... Reception staff gave us top notch service to solve a stuffed toilet issue at 4 AM... A refrigerator, coffee corner and a working telephone would certainly be appreciated...

...It’s a great location and we were able to take the train to within two blocks of its location on 77th and Broadway... We arrived early, around 12 noon, but Maria, at the front desk, was wonderful and allowed us an early check-in at one, once the room was clean... When we returned, Maria had a room available, which she upgraded so that we had a bit more room, and a wonderful front facing view... On arrival we were also given a gift box of macaroons which my daughter loves as well as breakfast tickets for the continental breakfast they provide from the bakery next-door... Coming out of the pandemic, it was a real pleasure to experience such wonderful customer service!... The young man who was the bellman was a gem... On top of the kind and professional staff, the room was lovely as well...

...Along with the great value for price, you get a complimentary pastry and drink for breakfast which was well welcomed. We are especially delighted with the excellent service by the front desk (Benedict, Mark, Maria and Shanies) who, upon hearing that we were on our honeymoon, gave us an amazing room upgrade!... We are no experts on New York boroughs however the area felt very safe and the front desk made sure that we were well accomodated!... Also the closest metro stop is only a couple of blocks away...

...The lobby is a French pastry shop, which we ate breakfast every morning thanks to the hotel giving us vouchers. From the beginning, the lady at the front , I believe her name is Shanirs was more than helpful and pleasant as we did have a bit of a problem, getting there too early for a check in and not having the room that we had originally reserved...

...When we first arrived Benedict was so friendly and upgraded our room for us so we didn't have to share a bed... The towels were bright white and very absorbant... The sheets and pillows were so comfortable and also white & crisp... We requested TP for the room because for some reason it was hiding in the closet rather than hung in the bathroom so we didn't see it... A few minutes later, someone arrived with several rolls and asked if we needed anything else... We asked if there were any blankets available and were given nice quality blankets for each bed also within minutes... Everyone was so attentive and we felt very well taken care of... I was also pleasantly surprised that our room received a cleaning and a turn down service while we were out exploring the city... Staying near Central Park was so much nicer than other places I have stayed in the Times Square area and you can be in Times Square in about 15 minutes by taking the Red #1 train on the subway that is one block over... We will definitely return to this hotel for any future NY visits, thank you staff, we really appreciated the personal attention that we received... One area of improvement would be to fix the bad wifi signal, otherwise, no complaints from us...

...The foyer is beautiful and when we arrived we were warmly greeted by Benedict who was excellent during our entire 4 night stay. Nothing was any problem and he always greeted us when he saw us every day and showed interest in our plans for the day and offered good advice... Breakfast was an added bonus from the amazing French Bakery adjoining the hotel... You can get served in the hotel or in the little bakery itself and bring your breakfast into the hotel to enjoy... Having had difficulty finding a lovely diner for breakfast on our previous 3 trips meant we really appreciated having such a wonderful breakfast in our hotel... Our room (2 double beds) was beautifully appointed and newly decorated... It was extremely clean and we had maid service every day... I am claustrophobic and was concerned when I read a review about the tiny lift however Benedict directed us to the service lift which is bigger and was less of a problem for me... The $120 taxi fare from JFK airport can be easily avoided by taking the Air Train ($8) to Howard Beach then the subway ($2.95) to Columbus Circle (about 20 or 21 stops)... 1 line to 79th Street (about 3 stops)... It is also worth buying the $33 (7 day unlimited rides) on the subway and bus ticket...

...Guests are given vouchers for breakfast in one of 2 locations on the main floor, but the choices are limited...

...I know Covid has everyone making excuses, but in Manhattan valet parking is a huge asset for travelers, especially those with physical difficulties. I’m so very disappointed in the Belleclaire not notifying as reservations are being made... We used to recommend the hotel all the time, but this is a big deal to us...

...The Hotel is located UWS away from the madding crowd, yet easy to access anywhere in Manhattan with multiple subway and bus options only a few short blocks away. Also fantastic was the little French cafe attached to the hotel which, dependent on your room rate, you are provided vouchers which can be redeemed in the morning... When we asked reception if there was anything that could be done we were told ‘come down to reception where it is better’...

...With my mom mobility issues, the front desk staff (Michael, Bennett & Marial) we’re SO wonderful & accommodating to me & my mom! They even switched up our room for a Handicap accessible one when we asked... These guys were fun, funny & help to put me at ease when they saw me SO stressed out as I was trying to accommodate my mom’s needs, making sure she was doing ok & got what she needed, and to keep her safe!... But I have to tell you, The front door man, (I don’t think his name was Hector, was it?... I thought his name started with a B, something like Berle…oh, I’m SO, so sorry I don’t remember his name) though, if it is Hector, I have to tell you, this man was so wonderful & kind to my mom….and helpful to me!... When he saw my mom getting out of my car, was having problems walking into the lobby, he assisted by making her feel at ease, by letting her take his arm & walk with her!... He actually left his post to walk her up to our room, as I had to deal with going to park my car at a nearby garage!... Room was clean, small, but we managed!... All in all…I really can’t say enough for the treatment & accommodations we received during our stay there!... Plus, I do have to say, the people at the Belleclaire, as well as during our outings around NYC, were very accommodating to my mom & I, as I did have her in a wheelchair most of the time, opening & holding doors for us, giving a hand to helping us with whatever was needed at the time to help my mom be successful!... Though we don’t come to the city much these days, I will be sure to arrange to come stay with you again next time!... Thank you for everything you did for my mom & I, making our stay the best it could be!...

...Nice modern rooms which are clean and have everything you need... Reservations include vouchers to use in the bakery daily - the coffee and almond croissants are 10/10!...

...Maria, at the front desk, was exceedingly kind. We received a room upgrade and early check-in (my daughter needed to work), and on my actual birthday, a box of macarons from the great bakery next door to the hotel... Our room was spacious, and the bed comfortable... Our only issue was with caliber of wifi, but the engineer who came up to our room was aware that this was a problem and that the hotel was working to resolve it and insure better connectivity...

...Elevator is likewise - big enough for four without luggage. Breakfast (included) is a coffee and pastry from the shop next door offered in the lobby - fantastic pastry by the way...

...Our experience would not have been nearly as good if not for Shanies at the front desk. Our reservation was altered in error and she quickly remedied while showing empathy and patience...

...The night before our departure I approached the front desk to request the possibility of a late check out. One of the desk front officer (the younger one) offered a symbolic half and hour late check out and asked me to request to the next morning’s front desk officers a longer check out time... In fact, the person in charge was clear when mentioning that, as a hotel’s policy, only half an hour was offered to guests as a complementary late check out... The front desk officer on evening Sep. 25th could have mentioned that complementary late check out was only half an hour and that was all he could offer to guests... Hence, I would respectfully suggest those responsible of Hotel Bellclaire’s customer relations to review their customer service’s protocols in order to avoid in the future practices like the one above described...

...First things first: I'm deeply grateful to Francella at the front desk, who made a special effort to relocate me after I had spent my first night in a room that was right behind the elevators... Francella was sympathetic and efficient in moving me, and she even took the trouble to check in with me at the end of her evidently 12-hour shift to make sure I was truly comfortable...

...The hotel was super comfortable, clean and very close to the subway for downtown. They offer vouchers for having breakfast at the bakery located in the adjacent building, which is reachable directly from the lobby; this made us save a lot of time and money!...

We loved the Hotel Belleclaire for its simple charm, and we slept very well in comfy beds and crisp linens. We had a family suite which was clean and comfy... Water pressure on the 7th floor was great with plenty of hot water... 2 blocks from the 79th street subway, CVS across the street for any incidentals, and quiet area of the city... We did have to request an additional washcloth each day as we were always given two for a suite with 3 beds and 3 guests...

Our stay at the hotel was amazing the location of the hotel and the price of the hotel you cannot beat it!... You’re really close to a couple of trains, and there are a lot of things to do within walking distance the room size was actually quite nice... We loved having a private bathroom to herself and waking up in the morning to smell the fresh bread and coffee from the bakery with something else... We will definitely be returning to this hotel and staying every time we come to visit...

...Our room was a good size, had a very comfortable king size bed, good a/c, adequate wardrobe space. The bathroom was an accessibility bathroom so it was huge, and with seat in the shower, which was actually three showers; a waterfall one, a wall mounted one and a shower head on a rail... Breakfast is coffee/tea and pastries in an area adjacent to the lobby... They only offer ‘drip coffee’ in this place but the breakfast vouchers are valid at the lovely Mille Feuille next door... Maria in reception was as helpful and lovely as always,- as was Christina in Mille Feuille :)...

Our room was teeny tiny (even for NYC) with no closet but very clean with high quality towels and linen... All staff were very friendly which really makes a difference... The elevators are small but the stairwells are very pretty with marble and iron rails, if you prefer to walk up to your room... The vouchers for breakfast were a plus, and there were gluten free options for my celiac husband... It's close to Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, the Beacon Theater, and the American Museum of Natural History...

We loved our stay at Hotel Belleclaire!!... Sare met us at the car, loaded our bags, got us to our room and knew what we would need before we could ask (more towels and water)... Francelle and Shanies at the front desk were very helpful during our stay... Breakfast vouchers for Mille Fuille (the bakery attached to the hotel) were given one for each of us per night of our stay... We were there over a holiday weekend, so a line could form for the bakery... Yet, the bakery knows how to move people through... Even if you don’t need the voucher for bfast, grab some macarons for later... There were four of us in a double queen room and it was not a problem... The location in the Upper West Side is wonderful... CVS across the street for anything the hotel can’t provide... We loved Hotel Belleclaire and would love to stay here again...

...The Belleclaire area is more residential, very safe, next to the Beacon Theater and very close to the Natural History Museum and Central Park. There are subway stations on both W 72nd and W 79th and there is a lot of shopping in the area... The two existing elevators were frankly insufficient for so many floors and so many guests... The rooms were very good and looked very clean and renovated... Our stay included breakfast (with this additional cost paid in advance)... This hotel breakfast has its own system, it is not the typical buffet breakfast... The hotel has a direct connection to a bakery-coffe shop (Mille-Feuille) and gives guests daily vouchers worth $10 per person... Both the bakery and the breakfast area are too small for so many people... Despite some less positive points that really need to be improved, we would return to this hotel for the fantastic location and cleanliness of the rooms...

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Belleclaire very much. Loved the location with its proximity to Central Park, incredible restaurants, and Zabar's... The hotel staff were very friendly, helpful, and responsive... Great lounge music every time we got off the elevator too!... Also, the breakfast vouchers for Mille-Feuille Bakery Cafe were so appreciated (the polar opposite of a generic continental breakfast)... The room itself was tight but comfortable for a family of four... We could have used a few more hangers for clothing and the bathroom needs more hooks for towels and washcloths...

...It’s a great location and we were able to take the train to within two blocks of its location on 77th and Broadway. It’s a beautiful old building nicely restored with a quaint French bakery attached... We arrived early, around 12 noon, but Maria, at the front desk, was wonderful and allowed us an early check-in at one, once the room was clean... When we returned, Maria had a room available, which she upgraded so that we had a bit more room, and a wonderful front facing view... On arrival we were also given a gift box of macaroons which my daughter loves as well as breakfast tickets for the continental breakfast they provide from the bakery next-door... On top of the kind and professional staff, the room was lovely as well... I can go on, but it will suffice to say that Hotel Belleclaire is a great choice for a stay in New York...

...The people who work here are friendly and kind, the location is wonderful and the lobby is very charming... This was an upgrade from the first room I was shown which had a "view" of several heat pumps... I never write reviews, but the quality of this room was so shocking given the price that I wanted to let others know...

My wife and I chose to stay at the Belleclaire during its Christmas special -- a corner room facing Broadway, a Christmas tree in the room (with gifts under the tree), and a sense of the season we came to New York to enjoy... Jonathan Quezado, Director of the Front Office, saw to our needs and made sure we had a wonderful time... and we did...

Booked the beautiful belleclaire for our final stop on our honeymoon before heading back home. The hotel is clean and elegant and wonderful on all aspects... Along with the great value for price, you get a complimentary pastry and drink for breakfast which was well welcomed... We are especially delighted with the excellent service by the front desk (Benedict, Mark, Maria and Shanies) who, upon hearing that we were on our honeymoon, gave us an amazing room upgrade!... We are no experts on New York boroughs however the area felt very safe and the front desk made sure that we were well accomodated!... Also the closest metro stop is only a couple of blocks away...

...The lobby is a French pastry shop, which we ate breakfast every morning thanks to the hotel giving us vouchers...

Just got back from a 2 night visit to NYC with my 16 yo daughter to visit colleges and see some wonderful areas of NY including Union Square, Central Park and Washington Square Park. Hotel Belleclaire was a wonderful find!... An affordable option in the heart of NY that has grand style with modern updates and is connected to a lovely French bakery where you can enjoy a delicious pastry and a coffee or OJ on the house... When we first arrived Benedict was so friendly and upgraded our room for us so we didn't have to share a bed... The room was super clean and although on the smaller side, it was totally adequate and surprisingly quiet... The towels were bright white and very absorbant... The sheets and pillows were so comfortable and also white & crisp... The beds were also super comfortable... We requested TP for the room because for some reason it was hiding in the closet rather than hung in the bathroom so we didn't see it... We asked if there were any blankets available and were given nice quality blankets for each bed also within minutes... Everyone was so attentive and we felt very well taken care of... I was also pleasantly surprised that our room received a cleaning and a turn down service while we were out exploring the city... Staying near Central Park was so much nicer than other places I have stayed in the Times Square area and you can be in Times Square in about 15 minutes by taking the Red #1 train on the subway that is one block over... We will definitely return to this hotel for any future NY visits, thank you staff, we really appreciated the personal attention that we received...

...This is our favourite hotel and one to which we intend to return to. The foyer is beautiful and when we arrived we were warmly greeted by Benedict who was excellent during our entire 4 night stay... Breakfast was an added bonus from the amazing French Bakery adjoining the hotel... You can get served in the hotel or in the little bakery itself and bring your breakfast into the hotel to enjoy... Having had difficulty finding a lovely diner for breakfast on our previous 3 trips meant we really appreciated having such a wonderful breakfast in our hotel... Our room (2 double beds) was beautifully appointed and newly decorated... It was extremely clean and we had maid service every day... The room was a good size by New York standards... That said the hotel is only a 38 minute walk to the Rockefeller Centre off 5th Avenue and the walk is very pleasant passing the fabulous Columbus Circle Shopping Mall and part of the walk overlooks Central Park... It is also worth buying the $33 (7 day unlimited rides) on the subway and bus ticket...

...But the amenities are limited: the rooms are very small, there is no room service or coffee maker in the rooms... Guests are given vouchers for breakfast in one of 2 locations on the main floor, but the choices are limited...

I first stayed at this hotel many years ago, and was looking forward to a return visit... The Hotel is located UWS away from the madding crowd, yet easy to access anywhere in Manhattan with multiple subway and bus options only a few short blocks away... Also fantastic was the little French cafe attached to the hotel which, dependent on your room rate, you are provided vouchers which can be redeemed in the morning... But maybe it was the discounted TravelZoo deal that we took advantage of to book our stay (I don’t know for sure) but the room we got was small/poky and without any basic amenities that you expect in a hotel room of today (coffee maker, glasses)...

...Nice modern rooms which are clean and have everything you need. The lobby area smells amazing every time you walk into the hotel... Reservations include vouchers to use in the bakery daily - the coffee and almond croissants are 10/10!...

...How lucky were we to find the Hotel Belleclaire! I couldn’t have picked a better hotel!... With my mom mobility issues, the front desk staff (Michael, Bennett & Marial) we’re SO wonderful & accommodating to me & my mom!... They even switched up our room for a Handicap accessible one when we asked... Room was clean, small, but we managed!... The Continental breakfast was a wonderful treat!... The bakery attached to the hotel has fabulous treats!... But I didn’t) Is to have more egg options that would last later in the morning (for slow moving Mom’s like I had!)... You really do need to get there early in the morning to get the best options to eat!... All in all…I really can’t say enough for the treatment & accommodations we received during our stay there!... Plus, I do have to say, the people at the Belleclaire, as well as during our outings around NYC, were very accommodating to my mom & I, as I did have her in a wheelchair most of the time, opening & holding doors for us, giving a hand to helping us with whatever was needed at the time to help my mom be successful!... Thank you for everything you did for my mom & I, making our stay the best it could be!...

...While the rooms are rather small (it is New York after all), they are clean, modern and well maintained. Elevator is likewise - big enough for four without luggage... Breakfast (included) is a coffee and pastry from the shop next door offered in the lobby - fantastic pastry by the way... Pretty convenient to the 1/2/3 (red) subway but we drove and actually found street parking a few blocks away!...

...The hotel was super comfortable, clean and very close to the subway for downtown. They offer vouchers for having breakfast at the bakery located in the adjacent building, which is reachable directly from the lobby; this made us save a lot of time and money!...
