• Great location, clean. Very attractive for star level.
• Elevator system, parking.

“The only problem we had during our stay was when we asked the concierge where the restaurant was that was listed on the hotel's homepage; we were directed to walk around the block. When leaving the restaurant we discovered that it was actually accessible through the hotel lobby. Oh, and the elevator's were extremely slow and small. They were supposed to have Valet parking but it was not running on New Year's Eve. There was a parking lot about a block up though. Over-all great experience, a quick walk to Time's Square.”

• The location and staff were okay.
• We were put on a floor where it was being remolded only one other guest was on our floor.

“The hotel was okay, but we were put on a floor in which the floor was being remodeled. It looked like a bomb erupted on that floor. It looked dirty and dangerous. Other people on the elevator said the same thing about the floor. We were on the 4th floor.”

• Great location, convenient to restaurants, attractions and public transportation. Clean and hospitable.
• No control over room temperature, thin walls (no privacy) and small, slow elevators. Had to pay for internet.

“Overall, the hotel was a great value for Downtown Manhattan. It was an older hotel, but it was clean and met my needs with little to complain about.”

• Location near shows and restaurants.
• Could not control heat from room. One must contact maintenance to regulate heat!

“The belvedere is a large hotel well situated for those who wish to go to the theater. And I loved the nearby bistro called "Pigalle". However, I paid more for this hotel than any I have ever stayed in NY. And that includes Sheratons, Hiltons, hats and the un plaza. The belvedere hotel was not nearly as nice as any of the other others. Acoustics were bad, pipes made noise all night and could not regulate the heat from the room.”

“Spacious by any location's standards, this hotel room was incredible for New York and the Times Square area. Upscale and extremely clean throughout. The staff was amazing, professional, courteous, friendly, and helpful.”

“The hotel staff was great and very accommodating to all requests. The room was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. The space was limited, but was not a problem. The room was designed and decorated in a very warm, upscale style. The location was top notch. A quick walk to dining, theatre shopping, trains. Anything you would want.”

• Did not like hearing amplified noise/conversations in my room.

“This is a very clean hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. The only problem may be that sounds from the hall or other areas of the hotel are amplified in your room. You may also experience smells of food cooking as if it were in your room.”

• Was not expecting the rooms to be so nice, they still need more work done on them but we really enjoyed it. Other people have a very negative opinion.
• Nothing.

“We found the room very pretty & comfortable, though a bit small, grouting in the bathrooms in most hotels for some reason always needs updating. This one was no different but was very clean. We would not hesitate to recommend it. Unfortunately older people from New York city have a very dim view of this hotel, they really believe it to be a dump, so will take time for them to be highly recommended by the people we met, there minds were changed when we insisted they see the room, but don't be in to much of a hurry to raise prices or star 31/2 is fine for now, until the reputation meets the standards they deserve. We have stayed in hotels with rating's higher than there's but were not near as nice. Only negative they started hammering at 9am, we had a late night so did not enjoy the awakening of banging. Even though we knew it was being renovated, we didn't expect it to be over our room.”

• I loved the look of the lobby and thought that the rooms were clean.
• Their elevators are very cramped at all times. I also didn't expect to get a handicapped and double bed room.

“The belvedere hotel was a great place to stay for the price that I paid. The location was very convenient to times square and the theatre district. The staff was extremely helpful. I didn't like the fact that checks in wasn't until 4pm but they will hold your luggage for you if you get there early and would like to go do some sightseeing. As for the room, they are perfectly fine. The only problem was that we received two double beds instead of just a single queen. I'm sure if you called them earlier after you have reserved your hotel that they would probably fulfill your request. We also had a handicapped room, which was a little disappointing because we wanted to soak in a tub.”

“Very, very convenient to theatres and times square. Several restaurants within 8 minute walk. Very courteous hotel staff. Bathroom was smallish, but rest of room was good, especially compared to some of the sardine cans in NYC. Small fridge, microwave and coffee maker, and iron in room. Beds and pillows and linens were comfortable. I would stay again without hesitation.”

“A nice hotel on the edge of the theater district. The Brazilian restaurant was ok but too pricey. Maria's European Restaurant, next door to the hotel, offered a better buy. Try the seafood fondue - and their tiramisu was almost as good as the best we had in Rome.”

• The location was good.
• Overpriced, dirty, terrible food, poor service, room was ugly, bathroom was tiny, elevators too small.

“I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It was overpriced and did not come close to its star rating. The staff was not friendly. The room was ugly with peeling wallpaper, dirty bedspread and no artwork. The bathroom was barely big enough to turn around the smallest Ive ever seen in a hotel. The TV was tiny and offered very few channels. There is no room service and the above mentioned restaurant closes early. Also, the elevators are so small that you can count on being sandwiched with at least ten other people after waiting 5 minutes for one to arrive. To top it off, the cleaning people came in our room without knocking at 9 am. Afterwards, they were very loud out in the hallway so we couldn't sleep in. Overall, a horrible experience.”

• Generally little run-down, very thin walls!

“For all of you who are looking and looking for a decent and cheap nick hotel, then give up now, they don't exist, at least, not In Manhattan. The location Is just awesome; very close to times square and all the touristy things you want to do, and yet In a little street that Is not literally In the middle of a main road. Despite this though, you do hear honks and car noises throughout the night, and the walls are very thin - we could hear our next door neighbor snoring very clearly. In general though, the location made It totally worthwhile, and you just have to realize that nick Is not like any other city, especially when It comes to space and accommodation.”

• The hotel staff refused us with late check-out (we requested to check out at 12:30 while the general check-out time was 12:00).

Just enough off the main strip so you don't feel overwhelmed, but close enough to shopping, restaurants, transportation and attractions. Quaint best describes the setting of the belvedere. Very relaxing and comfortable accommodations.”

• The location is very convenient.
• The rooms and public areas are relatively small.

“The best thing about the hotel is the location; it's convenient to most of the main attractions near time square. On the downside, the hotel appears to be an old renovated apartment building. Some of the rooms are smaller than others and the beds are not very comfortable. The rooms were very hot and the window ac units do not work very well. The hotel lacks most amenities that other hotels offer (e.g. Pool, spa, exercise room, etc). This hotel would work if there are no other hotels available; however, I do not recommend this hotel for group travel. I guess this would be considered a "good deal" for New York city. I have had much better experiences.”

• Location, most of the staff was very nice.
• Check in process.

“We arrived in NY at the hotel the early evening. We had been up all night and day traveling. I was traveling with three other adult and three young children. The manager on duty would not let us in the room. She insisted that the credit card that was used to pay the bill must be presented and the person to whom the card belonged. The manager said she had to follow this policy for security reasons. The credit card used was my mom's maybe Burk halter. All of the adults traveling have the same last name Burk halter, we all had ids and presented them. She still would not let us in our rooms saying we could be committing credit card fraud. It does not say you have to have the original card and/or the owner of that card. I am a professional and travel frequently under my company credit card. I have never been asked to present the original credit card especially when the bill has already been paid as long as I had identification. The rest of the staff at the belvedere was nice. The manager did give my sister an extra room for two nights at a lower rate for both nights which was appreciated. I understand about security but if this is the belvedere policy then they should let you all know this. So this experience started our trip on a sour note. The hotel was in a good location and clean but old and drab, uncomfortable beds. I have stayed in cheaper hotels like the courtyard Marriott that have great beds. I know this was NY and things”
