5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

I love this hotel. I also love Domenico's Restaurant next door. FDR and Eleanor lived here back in the day. This old hotel had everything I needed as a business traveler. My only problem was that it's so popular with people in the know, that I often could not get a reservation for my week-long stays. Great location in Murray... More

Stayed here for just one night and it served its purpose well. Room was good sized - a bit tired and worn but I did not find it as bad as some of the other reviewers have said. Bathrooms was good, clean, absolutely fine. Staff was friendly and helpful. It's a small hotel but there seemed to be a lot... More

The best of this hotel is its location. You can walk to many interesting places from there, and since it is close to Grand Central Terminal, you can get the subway in less than 5 minutes walking. We were 3 in our room that was big enough for us, but it was old and not too clean.

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).

The suite was large by New York standards and very clean with good views of the city skyline.

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
