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.

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

We had a wonderful time at the Buckingham and were very pleasantly surprised at the size of the room and the amenities. We hope to stay there again on our next visit to New York City! more

We visited NYC for my sister in laws 50th as a party of 8 and could not have enjoyed the Buckingham more. The front desk staff were all friendly, efficent, knowledgable and went the extra mile even when not requested. The rooms were on the large size and each had their own design and feel. Each had mircowave, coffee, iron,... more
