The Buckingham hotel is located on W57th Street, a two minute walk from Central Park. The location is perfect for a truly New York experience. The common areas are quirky with lots of music memorabilia as it is located opposite Carnegie Hall. The rooms are simple, but very large and they have a kitchenette with a sink, hob and tea... More

We stayed in this hotel 3 nights in May 2010. The location of the hotel is great - everything in Midtown & Central Park is in short walk. The hotel seems to be very old and definatly needs a renovation. Rooms are spacious but furniture is old and shabby. The bed is also old and not comfortable. The bathroom was... More

Be very careful outside, they do not show outside photos. There is construction, and scaffolding with painted black poles. There is a bus stop outside, ok all of Manhattan has bus stops. to get to the bus, you have to pass the scaffolding. My husband is legally blind, while trying to get to the bus, he hit his nose on...

Whislt the building was old it had great character we stayed in larger apartments not one of the studio room. There was a very large lounge room and bedroom, 4 wardrobes. The kitchen and bathroom were small but usable. They were closing down for a refurbishment soon after we stayed. It was easy to get around the city with the... More

Just 1 block from the Plaza but Oh what a differance. Room 3 times the size priced at about a third. It was a clean, large (Unheard of in New York) room at a fair price. It was a little dated but if you are looking for great location in "The Big Apple" for a price that leaves you money... More

The hotel has three main advantages. The first one is excellent location. I think it may be called - "5 minutes to anywhere". You just need to choose way of movement (by walk, by underground train, by taxi) and direction. Depending of that in 5 minutes you can get to Central Park, Apple Store, Carnegie Hall, MOMA, Saks Fifth Avenue,... More

You'd walk right past this place if you didn't know where it was. On West 57th Street, between 6th Avenue and 7th Ave., it is across the street from Carnegie Hall. So close, that it used to be housing for performers at the Hall. I understand that it was formerly an apartment building and some rooms are still set up... More

My fiance and I stayed in this hotel over the Christmas period in December 2010. We stayed in a hostel for the first 4 nights of our stay in NYC and because we didn't like the hostel we decided to move to a hotel instead. So with very short notice, we managed to book a room with the Buckingham the... More
