I was skeptical about staying at this hotel because of some of the reviews. I am so glad I didn't pay attention to any of them!! This hotel is central to everything...perfect walking distance to so many of the sights and good restaurants. Our room was clean and so huge! For NYC and for 4 adults, this was a bonus.... More

We stayed one night in a suite w a king bed in the bedroom & living room with 2 sofas. Sofa upholstery was filthy on both. No one wanted to sit on them, let alone pull out to sleep. The king mattress was so old that it had a big ridge down the middle between two depressions. Carpeting was filthy.... More

My stay at the Bedford was truly enjoyable. Even though the hotel is older, it is clean and well kept. The staff was accommodating, always ready to give me directions. The hotel is located close to The Grand Central Terminal which was convenient for catching the train or finding something to eat. Lots of restaurants, grills etc. are near this... More

An ok hotel to stay downtown New York. New decor and more silent air conditioning would be beneficial. Overall good value for money but do not look for anything special or any reason to remember the place (neither positive but also negative).

Stayed in the Bedford Hotel last weekend for 4 nights and shared the Tower Suite with two other family members. The suite was large by New York standards and very clean with good views of the city skyline. We were warmly welcomed, upgraded and given a gift as it was our 35th wedding anniversary and the Sales Manager Lidia and... More

Just a block away from Central Station, the location of the hotel was terrific. I stayed here with my a family member (part of a larger group with whom we traveled). The beds were always tidy upon return to the room and the staff was friendly and helpful when asked for trivial questions. Though the beds were a bit harder... More

We stayed for four nights at Easter. Our reason for staying there was that we needed a suite with a separate room and sofa bed for our adult son who was joining us for a night. The hotel is well situated on a relatively quiet street. No facilities and two rather old lifts, but we had no problems as restaurants/cafes... More

The hotel is located in a central position, very close to grand central - you can't beat that. The price was also very reasonable in comparison with other places in NYC. We arrived after a long flight and although indicated in our reservation could not get a room at noon time and came back only in the evening. The keys... More

I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting NYC...it was so close to Grand Central, we were able to walk. They took us in early and had a great time. Will go back! Room was clean, fridge and coffee maker added plus.
