We stayed for a week just before Christmas and got a fantastic deal. The room was large with two comfortable single beds as requested. Bathroom very nice with towels changed daily and soaps etc. replenished. One of the reasons we stayed here was because it had a kitchenette however this only consisted of two hotplates, one fry pan, a kettle... More

Good location as many tourists sites are only a few blocks away. Yet, the neighborhood is very quite. The staff is friendly and efficient. I brought 2 problems to their attention one morning and both were fixed by the evening. They are also knowledgeable about local activities. It was great having a kitchenette in the room. The decor is a... More

This hotel is positioned on 40th street which gives you easy access to most of New York City. It is close to a metro station which makes it really easy to get around but is easy walking distance to Rockafella Centre, Times Square, Grand Central station and beautiful shopping on 5th Ave and Madison Ave. The bedroom, bathroom and living...

The pictures showed at the Bedford Hotel web site look way nicer than the hotel is. For NYC, the Bedford is not bad at all, just outdated and in need of a little touches to look better. The staff was nice and helpful. The lobby is very small, but who needs a big lobby in NY? You are going to... More

I stayed in a suite on the 7th floor and even had a partial view of tje empire state building, which at night, was... More

The hotel is located two blocks from Grand Central Station, where you can have breakfast (I recommend Zaro), lunch and dinner, if you wish so. Our room was clean and comfortable (except we could not lower the heating system). Most of the rooms have a kitchen sink and stove, with tea/coffee facility, and our room had a view on the... More

A mixed family group (all adults) spent 4 nights in this really nice little hotel. I flew into JFK and got the Airtrain and Subway to Grand Central which is just around the corner from The Bedford. Our room was like a little apartment. One very large bedroom with a huge bed and an average size bathroom. A living room... More

The Bedford Hotel is a smallish hotel about one block from Grand central. It has a great location with some inexpensive restaurants very close by. (Go to Scotty's Diner for breakfast or a snack, very friendly with good food.) The hotel has free wi-fi. We had a double room that was enormous with a large sitting room and a separate... More

Stayed here for 5 nights with my wife and 2 children ( 14 & 11 ). We booked a suite which has 2 pullout sofa beds in living area which is quite big. There was a large tv with plenty of channels. The bedroom had a nice bathroom off it. There is a kitchenette with 2 jobs, kettle, fridge etc... More
