Good place to stay with excellent location. I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly I wanted to purchase some ugg boots but didn't know where to get them from, the staff went on Internet for me and wrote the shops and addresses down in closest order. The room was quite basic but there's that much to do... More

Great location, friendly staff, good overall value. Rooms aren't the most spacious, but I guess it's to be expected when staying Midtown. I'd recommend it to friends with kids. More

I visited this hotel for 5 nights in May 2012. The whole place is dark and shabby. At Reception we were met by a glum faced girl who had nothing to say to us, just handed the room key. Our room needed the lights on even first thing on a sunny morning. The hot water for showers or a bath... More

Very good place to stay in Midtown Manhattan. Location is great, two blocks from Grand Central Station's subway. I stayed in a standard room, which was very spacious, with lots of room for our huge luggage. There was a small kitchen in the room, perfect for having breakfast (there is a great supermarket about 3 blocks away). I stayed on... More

After contemplating many hotels we finally settled on the Bedford. It is very average and I believe overpriced. Nice sized rooms and good location but that's probably all its got going for it. Stayed in a 1 bedroom suite. The beds were just terrible. We all had backache! Had to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom which... More
