Stayed at the Bedford Hotel a few years back so it's been a while! Not too long to remember NOT to stay here again. Smallest room I've ever stayed in and furniture and fittings outdated, I don't mean old-fashioned charm here, I mean in need of refubishment and not up to standard for the exorbitant price we paid. The ensuite...

Ok. This place shouldn't be called hotel... More like motel. Old building, outside traffic noise, no bed frames, elevator noises at night, you get the picture. I paid reasonable amount for three star hotel. Didn't get what I expected.(terrible pillows). Only good thing was location. Walked to Rockefeller center.

My husband and I stayed at the Bedford Hotel Manhattan New York City for 5 nights in April 2011. We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the hotel and friendliness of the staff. Each and everyone was polite and helpful and our room was really good with a tiny kitchenette (but this was enough and suited our needs). Transport...

Stayed at the Bedford for 3 days in april and have to say for what we paid to stay was well worth it. The location is the whole point of the Bedford and as well as being clean and tidy you have to put up with the odd rattle of the plumbing during the night . 2 minutes away from...

I booked the Bedford over the internet from Australia and crossed my fingers. Rarely do expectations meet the promises made. The Bedford was fantastic. Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Really comfortable king-sized bed with the BEST pillows!! I stayed 10 nights and the room was always left clean and tidy for me. Can't recommend the hotel highly enough if...

The exterior and lobby of the Hotel are great and very nice, however the rooms are totally different. The bedrooms are basic and have seen better days. This hotel was just a place to sleep and it served it's purpose, however I would not have spent more time than necessary. There was peeling paint, creaky doors, worn carpets and furnishings,...

This was one of the worst hotels I've stayed in and I've stayed in small places in Europe a lot. It is an old hotel that has seen better days. It clearly hasn't been updated in many years, with the exception of the bathroom. Everything about this hotel said old. The bed had no headboard. The windows were old and...

I was a little unsure about this hotel as there were differing reviews on various websites but I was pleasantly surprised. I travelled with my eldest daughter who had stayed at this hotel in 2007 when she came to New York on a school trip. I was expecting it to be rather dated from some of the reviews. We stayed...
