This hotel was recommended on a random website, after hours of looking and this place was the first one we saw. If you want to feel at home and not a hotel, I would definitely recommend to stay. Upon arrival, we were offered an upgrade at not much more than we were to pay for a studio room, and while... more

I stayed at this hotel based on the reviews here. I didnt want to stay in a chain hotel. The service is outstanding. That staff is friendly, and well informed. The rooms are large, clean and quiet. The location is perfect just two stops on the F train downtown, and you are on 42nd street. complete with all that time... more

The Hotel has a friendly-accommodating staffed. They were eager to take care of our needs. I contacted them by e-mail before we left home and they were prepared when we arrived. The Buckingham is located in walking distance to Time Square, Carnegie Hall and Central Park. . It was a very pleasant stay. My wife left a jacket behind and... more

This is one of the only hotels with a kitchen that can be found in Manhattan. It was nice to have a kitchen, especially with kids. The space was large for Manhattan as well. The location is great...close to central park; subway entrance close by. The building is old and the old windows do not keep out the street noise.... more

Historically the Buckingham is where people performing at Carnegie Hall (across the street) stay. If you have play or work to do in New York and would like your hotel to be 100% but not get in your way, you should stay here. You are more likely in the elevator to overhear discussions in other languages about negotiations with composers... more

I've stayed at The Buckingham many times before, and always enjoy the large apartment-style rooms. During this particular stay however, I really had a chance to see what the staff was made of, and was quite impressed. I planned my 2-week September Birthday trip to NY in mid-July, but realized the day before my flight that I'd been scammed on... more

I had been to New York once before, but this time I was taking my parents for a special anniversary present. They hadn't been to NY before, and we wanted to have a suite that we could share. We got a really nice room. My parents had their own bedroom and I got the pull-out bed in the living area.... more

My family met up in New York for a vacation. The place is a bunch of Condos turned hotel rooms, each one is different. This is an old building so it is hit or miss but for the 3 rooms I saw, it is really a decent place to stay with a group. You also have a kitchen so you... more

On arrival, my friend and I were given the key to a room on the 5th floor where the decor looked very tired and paintwork was marked and grubby; it felt very depressing. Having read earlier reviews, we went back to reception and asked whether we could have a refurbished room and were given the key to a room on... more
