I read alot of negative reviews and YES I was a little leary at booking but that all changed when I checked into the Bentley. I had a suite with an amazing view. Ate at the roof top restaurant. Food service was very slow but worth the wait. I will most definately stay in the Bentley again.

We liked our room on the 9th floor, which had a great view, was spacious and clean. Attention in the hotel was also good and very friendly. It is slightly remote, about 10 to 15 minutes walk to the closest metro station, and about 20 minutes to Central Park.

Yes, there is a lot of traffic on York Ave. Yes, it is located 0.6 miles from the closest subway. The minibar contains no...

My husband and I booked a standard (queen-bed) room and after checking in found out that the manager had "upgraded" us to a room with two double beds. We complained about how the smaller beds were not an "upgrade", so the staff attempted to switch us to a second-floor room with a king bed, but it was WAY too loud...

Kataroni, I am so sorry to learn of the poor experience you had at Bentley. Just to clarify, the size of the Queen bed in the Standard room is identical to a bed in Deluxe double, room with 2 beds. As we continue to upgrade our website to improve proper room type description and to avoid misinforming guests, your commentary... more

Very poor service in the hotel. We were charged unfairly mini bar expenses, key cards stopped working in the middle of our stay, personnel was constantly in and out of the room (housekeepers, more towels, chocolates, all done separately and by different personnel) and the hotel bar was ridiculously expensive. The mini bar charges were the weirdest thing, it seems...

I stayed for a mere two nights after staying in a Hostel in NYC with a friend. I had decided to book a hotel for the nights I was on my own in New York. The Hotel Bentley is a converted office block and it fails to disappoint from the moment you walk through the doors. The hotel feels very...
