Enjoyed Our Stay - posted on 09/13/2004
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Belvedere. We would stay there again.
first time in New York - posted on 05/30/2007
Our experience in the Big Apple was great. From the Hotel to the people, they were friendly and helpful. The hotel was centrally located to Times Square, Central park, & restaurants.
I REALLY ENJOYED MY STAY AT THE BELVEDERE!!!!! - posted on 05/26/2007
THIS WAS MY FIRST VISIT TO NEW YORK!! AND I MUST SAY IT WONT BE MY LAST..THE BELVEDERE IS A WONDERFUL STAY IF YOUR PLANNING A VISIT TO THE BIG APPLE. THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN AND NEAT AND IT'S IN WALKING DISTANCE TO EVERYTHING AND THE STAFF WENT OVER AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. THAT ALONE WILL KEEP ME COMING BACK!!! I MENTIONED TO ONE OF THE BELLMAN THAT I WAS THERE TO SEE A PLAY (THE COLOR PURPLE!!) FOR MY BIRTHDAY,WELL WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT..THE DAY OF MY B-DAY BEFORE I COULD STEP OFF THE ELEVATOR EVERYONE WAS WISHING ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! SOMETIMES IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS!
Solid NYC stay - posted on 05/17/2007
I'm an experienced NYC traveller and this hotel ranked pretty high. A little touristy but great location for amenities like food, drink and fun. Bathroom was small even for NYC standards but the entire place was spotlessly clean.
The Best - posted on 05/13/2007
Our stay at the Belvedere Hotel was the best. Our king size room was very clean, very nicely renovated, and spacious. We liked having the kitchenette as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great. Close to everything. We would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
ask questions about your room!! - posted on 05/10/2007
This hotel is convenient to everything we wanted to do. But the room it self was not what we expected by the reviews on line. The mirror in the bath was not big enough for any view but your head. We saw other rooms much nicer after a couple of days in the hotel. I guess we just got the short end of a stick. Staff very friendly and made our hotel room able to bear.
Perfect Experience - posted on 05/09/2007
Staying at the Belvedere helped make my first visit to New York City as close to perfect as I could have hoped. The room was clean and bright with windows overlooking the busy street. The employees were as helpful and pleasant as I have ever encountered anywhere. The location was perfect for shopping, eating, and going to the theater on foot or by subway.
I would go back again!! - posted on 04/23/2007
Very helpful staff, great location. Room looked to be completely renovated, clean with small fridge and microwave. Great location too.
Small bu good location - posted on 04/22/2007
This hotel is in a good location to Times Square, the theaters, central park etc. The rooms and bathrooms are small. They did upgrade us to a king size bed from 2 doubles. The staff was very accomodating and the hotel was clean.
Hotel was nice, but loud - posted on 04/21/2007
This hotel is nice, very clean, and reasonable priced. Good location but also loud. I've stayed in other hotels in NYC that had better soundproofing/location. I heard constant sirens and horns blaring all night. Wireless internet ($ per day) was slow. I would recommend this hotel if you are not light sleeper and don't mind constant noise.
Great location - posted on 03/25/2007
This hotel was a good price and was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was a great location to all the main attractions.
one of New York's finest - posted on 03/15/2007
Awesome Location for a hotel near everything. Very impressed with the service level.
Nice Spot - posted on 03/12/2007
The Hotel is perfectly located near to Theatre District and has everything around it.
Loved this location - posted on 03/09/2007
We had a great surprise when checked into this hotel. It was clean with a refrigerator and microwave. Loved how easy it was to walk to shows, Rockerfeller Center, Broadway and Times Square. I will go back"!!
Excellent Hotel - posted on 02/16/2007
The service by all of the staff at this hotel was great. The room was very nice and comfortable. The location was awesome-within walking distance of everything.
What a nice surprise! - posted on 02/16/2007
We had a nice surprise when we arrived late at night and were welcomed by a friendly staff and a decent room. The rooms are small but the convenience of the microwave, fridge, and coffeemaker was great. Within walking distance of time square and many great restraunts!
We'll be Returning and Recommending the Belvedere - posted on 02/06/2007
What a pleasant surprise! We are frequent NYC travelers for business and Broadway. Only two blocks from the majority group of theatres & Times Sq. Rooms are big and affordable by NY standards...even small kitchen area for leftover keeping, rewarming and coffee. Bell and door man very attentive and gracious. Brazilian restaurant on premises was incredible.
Great Getaway - posted on 02/05/2007
My family and I just spent a weekend at the Belvedere, taking in a Broadway show and other midtown attractions. We would definitely stay there again -- convenient location on a nice block; clean, attractive rooms; family-friendly (refrigerator in room); pleasant service; lots of nearby restaurants (try Amarone's on 9th Ave!). A great value, for NYC. Only suggestion would be to "thicken" the walls and windows -- we could clearly hear conversations and TV noise (that's all, thankfully) from adjoining rooms. Aside from that, a very nice stay -- a great find in the theatre district.
Belveder Hotel - posted on 01/28/2007
What a surprise! Not onlt was i in a great location, close to broadway as well as 2 subways. The rooms were very spacious for NY standards. My room even came with a fridge, microwave & sink. The hotel is a bit older, but very clean. The staff was very friendly and knowlegeable. TV can be a little bigger, but hey your in NY who watches TV.
awesome - posted on 01/23/2007
get ready to walk but worth every step. great location consierre desk very helpful
SUPER DEAL HOTEL - posted on 01/22/2007
This is just a fantastic hotel. With the deal, it is definately worth the money. The services were great, especially the concieage. They provides the best information with restaurants, sight seeing, shops, and many many recommandation. Super experienced. Close to Broadway, Time Squred and all the best restaurant. YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT.
Nice hotel but not - posted on 01/20/2007
This hotel's website leads you to believe that it is more luxurious than it is - it has a great lobby, but Comfort Inn-level accomodations. $10 per day extra for wi-fi. Kitchenette was very handy. TV tiny, hard to regulate room temp, beds very hard, cheap linens, but clean. Great staff and location, but not quite at the "boutique" hotel level of comfort / quality.
Theatre Goers Listen up! - posted on 01/18/2007
I'm a die-hard Broadway show geek. I think the Belvedere was the best location I've ever used when I go to see shows. It was very clean and roomy for NYC and right in the middle of all the theatres. It was great!
January in NY - posted on 01/14/2007
Enjoyed our stay here! Close to theater, Times Square, Letterman, shopping. Rooms are spacious, clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms have a small kitchenette which is a plus. Take your own hairdryer because the one provided in the room is pitiful! We would definitely stay here again!
Hotel Stay - posted on 01/10/2007
I loved the more down to earth and personal feeling you got when you stayed there.
Belvedere Hotel, NYC - posted on 01/03/2007
Room was decent size, newly renovated, very clean; shower was excellent; bathroom lacked an exhaust fan; view was good from 11th floor; staff very friendly; close to everything in Midtown.
Great location! - posted on 12/16/2006
This was a perfect location. The staff were A++. Great martini's at the little Italian place next door. Get a king not doubles. The doubles were the hardest bed I've ever slept on, but the king is a pillowtop.
Best deal in NY - posted on 12/04/2006
This was my second stay here and it was as I remembered it 7 years ago. Nice, simple, comfortable and close to everything. Fair price for New York. I would diffently stay here again.
Belvedere is awesome - posted on 11/29/2006
The Belvedere Hotel is clean,lovely and the service is awesome! The location is also awesome! My family and I had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back to New York and will be staying at the Belvedere Hotel.
Macy parade - posted on 11/29/2006
A great location, just walk 2 blocks to Macy parade. Rooms to small to share with kids. Marble entry to room(or from bed to bath) slippery! USE THE SIDE ELEVATOR ON THE RIGHT, it's faster. Great service.
fab hotel - posted on 11/25/2006
booked this hotel so was a little wary.couldn't have asked for better.everything was fab....location,rooms,service...the list goes on and on...will definitely be back.
What a great time - posted on 10/19/2006
The location is perfect and the hotel staff are great. The beds are comfortable and the room and bathroom are very clean. Will certainly stay here on my next visit to New York. Would recommend the hotel to anyone looking for both comfort and convenience.
Happy wanderer's - posted on 09/28/2006
The Belvedere has everything at hand for traveller's. We felt very safe..always a door man. The staff bent over backwards to accomodate you in every way. Rooms were very comfortable & clean...kitchenet a nice touch...helped a lot with coffee, fridge & micro. Safe in room alows you to feel safe leaving your room knowing your personal belongings will not be touched...passport, camera etc.All in all a good time by all.
Terrific Hotel - posted on 09/20/2006
This hotel was terrific. Rooms were big by NYC standards and while bathroom was small, it was spotless. Awesome view. City noise - come on, it's New York, we slept with our window open just to soak up the atmosphere. Had heard the dining room was pricey so we didn't go near it. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance for ANYTHING you may want. Location is great for theatre, subway, etc. After checking out, they graciously held our bags the whole day no problem. This was our third trip to NYC and definately the best hotel yet for price, location and service.
OK, but dated - posted on 09/18/2006
Room was not really as it seems on the website. It needs to be remodeled as the furniture looks to be from the late 70s.
very pleased - posted on 09/17/2006
First time staying over night in NYC, was extremely pleased with this hotel. Stayed on the 8th floor, very quiet, rooms good size for the city. Nice wieght room, wonderful restaurants and staff was very inviting. Will definitly return!
Great Stay! - posted on 09/12/2006
This is the second time we've stayed at the Belvedere! Great room - friendly, helpful staff!
Awesome place to stay - posted on 09/07/2006
This is the first trip that I ever booked online. I was worried but the hotel was perfect. It was close to everything we were there to see, and very convenient to the Greyline bus tours. We had an awesome time and would definately stay at this hotel again! Thanks for a memorable 16th birthday for my daughter.
Great Place - posted on 09/01/2006
My family and I found the Belvedere to have a great staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and good location to catch any form of transportation.
Very Pleased - posted on 08/31/2006
I was very pleased with our entire New York trip. The hotel was not as nice as the pictures led you to believe but I was more than pleased with our hotel stay. Very good location. New York was nothing like I expected. Everyone was super nice and very helpful.
Weekend in NYC - posted on 08/31/2006
On the 8th floor, you could still hear what was going on in the street. Thought the prices were a little too high. c'mon $15.00 for a breakfast buffet?
Very Convenient, Very Comfortable - posted on 08/18/2006
Wonderful location, perfectly clean, polite staff, reasonably priced and a really nice view (at least from my room on the 16th floor). Yes, the elevators are small and slow, but it would be hard to beat the Belvedere for Midtown.
Excellent Hotel! - posted on 08/15/2006
The Belvedere Hotel is a wonderful find for very reasonable rates. The personnel are super, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the location is perfect for everything!!T his was our first trip to NYC, and we were so impressed with everything about the Belvedere. We'll absolutely share with friends that the Belvedere is the place to stay!!
Great - posted on 08/14/2006
Great Location, close to almost everything we needed. Bathrooms too small. The only problem , and not a big one, I had asked for two double beds and a couch or rollaway and didn't get one, but managed, there were three of us. Would definitely return to Belevedere because of staff and location.
Happy Canadians - posted on 08/14/2006
We had a wonderful stay and found the staff friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean and the kitchenette a real plus very handy for breakfast and snack foods. And of course the location was fantastic.We walked most everywhere in our five day visit. Will definitely come again.
Belvedere Review - posted on 08/10/2006
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's a perfect location on a side street near the Theatre District and Times Square. The rooms are clean and the staff was very nice. We would definitely stay at The Belvedere again!
Lovely - posted on 08/07/2006
Hotel is located close to Times Square.Staff was friendly, I would stay there again.
Good Location - posted on 08/07/2006
Good location for $. Fridge/Microwave a definite plus! Rooms small but clean. Beds were terrible--hard!! Window air conditioner difficult to keep temp regulated. Staff not particularly helpful with directions, etc.. We felt rushed upon arrival to get everything out of the car. There were quite a few helpful gentlemen all of whom we felt obligated to tip (one to unload car, one to store luggage, one to deliver luggage to room). Parking was expensive but same as everywhere.
Thank you Belvedere! - posted on 08/02/2006
Our stay at the Belvedere was delightful! We enjoyed being so close to the theaters and restaurant row; very convenient for walking just about anywhere that we wanted to go. Beautiful neighborhood! Quiet, clean, large rooms and a wonderful staff, especially the bellman. We will certainly be back and will recommend to all of our friends.
Great hotel in the theatre district - posted on 07/22/2006
This is our second stay. We come to see broadway shows-this is within walking distance of the theatres. A great diner one block down for breakfast, and we always stop at John's brick oven pizza. Rooms are very clean--staff is helpful. We found the elevator at the end of the hall was not as busy.
Nice! - posted on 07/09/2006
Would definitely stay here again - newer, clean rooms, great location near theater district and Times Square. Much nicer than others we looked at in same price range. Hotel parking is worth it - remember no in out service! Actually has some style and character. Staff cordial. Elevators small, can be slow.
Belvedere - posted on 07/08/2006
Expensive but good location in theater district. Will allow 4 people in one room. Small rooms; old wiring. Slow service, even slower elevators.
NY Stay - posted on 07/03/2006
We really enjoyed the spaciousness of our room. Everything looked really nice. The hotel is located on a small side road near the theatre district and Times Square. We had access to everything. Concierge and staff were very friendly and helpful. Buffet too expensive and elevator is slow.
Excellent - posted on 07/02/2006
This was our second stay, would definitely stay there again. Staff is outstanding.
1st time NYC experience - posted on 07/02/2006
Great location to Times Square and subway system. Elevators were painfully small and slow. Bathroom was tiny and had a mold problem but the room was fine. Only true complaint was there were 4 staying in our room, yet EVERY DAY we had to call for additional towels and washcloths. Sometimes only 2 sets were left by maid staff.
Very good hotel - posted on 06/25/2006
The Belvedere exceeded my expectations. Very clean, awesome location w/access to subway, restaurants, theatre, Times Square. For family traveler, a laundromat is located 1/2 block away, and numerous small grocery stores was perfect for the Belvedere's kitchenettes.
100% Satisfied - posted on 06/06/2006
The room was small but very nice and clean. Location was outstanding. We didn't eat breakfast there because it was a bit pricey, but we walked around the corner to 24 hour diner for breakfast every morning. The in room safe was an added feature.
- posted on 06/01/2006
Had a wonderful time. The hotel was great, convenient location, room was nice size. Would definitedly stay there again. Don't go see off broadway show Altar Boyz was terrible.
We didn't want to leave - posted on 05/28/2006
The hotel was great, we were on the 12th floor and would have never know that we were so close to Times Square. Our room was quiet, clean and very comfortable. Staff was very helpful, especially *** in letting us know where it was safe for us to explore after dark. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and this will be our first choice when we visit again.
Nice Hotel - posted on 05/20/2006
I was very pleased with the hotel overall. The location was perfect, which was most important. I would definitely stay here again.
best kept secret - posted on 05/16/2006
Wonderful Hotel, great staff and perfect location. We will be coming back to this hotel for years to come!
Excellent - posted on 05/13/2006
The hotel was beautiful. The room was really big for New York. The room was very clean. The location is great. The conierge was very knowledgable in helping us with theater tickets and restruants and shopping. Overall this was the best stay I have had in New York.
Great stay, great price - posted on 05/03/2006
Had a great stay. The rooms are large by NY standards and are clean and comfy. The bathroom is tiny with no place to put your toiletries, but a counter with sink in the hallway (with micro & fridge) helps that a bit. This was our second stay and we'd go again.
great deal - posted on 04/26/2006
Nice location, large room, lots of restaurants nearby, no problems with elevator wait as I had read and very quiet-also nice view. Only criticism-had several lights burned out & maids never checked in four days (we kept forgetting to mention at desk but felt it should be routine to check) Would recommend staying here.

Great location, nice hotel,small elevators,friendly and helpful staff
great spot - posted on 04/02/2006
Location is great for theaters and visits anywhere in the city. Our room was big, comfortable, and felt warm and cozy. Easy access to metro, cabs, busses, dining. Very safe and upscale. Don't really recommend the breakfast...excellent food served at Pigalle just up the street and less money. This is a definate good spot and we will certainly go back
Not bad - posted on 03/13/2006
This hotel was clean, and the room was pretty big for an NYC hotel. The bathroom was very small, and uncomfortable to be in for more than a shower. The desk staff were very friendly, though, and the price was reasonable. Wireless internet in the rooms was a big plus. The view was ok. All things considered, I would recommend it to others.
complete convenience - posted on 02/07/2006
We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. Walking distance to Times Square and Radio City Music Hall, and everything else in the neighbourhood. Large rooms for NYC. Love the coffee and microwave in room. Love the view. Love the El Sambrero restaurant almost next door (YUM!). Great staff. Great location. Stale smell in room, but easily relieved by opening window. Don't like elevators, EVER, and these are small, but I took the stairs. Unlike a lot of places, these stairs are clean, painted and safe. I'll be going here again :)
Perfect For The Price - posted on 01/04/2006
We were surprised at how little you get for your $ in NYC. The Belvedere was a great place for the money and the location is central to everything, great for first time visitors like us. Rooms small, elevators slow, service good. We will stay here again...nice balance for those on a budget.
I love NY - posted on 01/03/2006
Really friendly staff; clean room and great location to walk to Times Square, Broadway Shows, Rockefeller Center. The Churrascaria Plataforma restaurant attached to hotel is excellent (but pricey).
NICE HOTEL - posted on 01/03/2006
This was the 2nd time we stayed at this hotel. There was 4 of us in one room. The location is great and the rooms were clean. Needs more shelves in the bathroom, faster coffee pots in the room and more elevators. Would stay there again for sure. Great deal for the money.
The Friendliest staff in all of NYC - posted on 12/20/2005
I love the Belvedere. We always stay there if at all possible.The location is great and the staff is always very courteous. My recent stay presented a problem for me in that I was not made aware of extra person in room fee; therefore, I ended up having to pay extra $102.04 for my granddaughter and my mother. That was an unexpected expense and was very frustrating at the time. Also, I had booked an extra room for my sisters that were arriving the next day and the reservation was cancelled. We were able to work it out but at the time it was very upsetting. I spent unnecessary time trying to work out the problem instead of enjoying my bus tour of the city. I would definitely stay there again
NYC in December - posted on 12/15/2005
Great location. Only a couple of blocks off Broadway and Times Square. Room was ample sized and clean but the bathroom was very small. I paid the $15/night extra fee for the 3rd person in our group but our room was set up for only 2 people (towels, coffee cups and coffee.) We had a few issues with service requests which were not fulfilled so the management gave us a complimentary breakfast the day of departure.
New York Fun - posted on 12/07/2005
The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. They have a separate desk where they will make a reservation for you for dinner at no charge. They picked a restaurant for my daughter and I(Italian)that was great. They also were able to tell us how to get places walking or by cab. They gave us $15 percent off passes for Macys and Bloomingdales. The restaurant was nice for breakfast(buffet). Walking distance to theater and Times Square as well as some shopping. I would stay there again for sure.
Easy Parking - posted on 11/30/2005
Staff was great, let us in early, to a clean room. Valet parked our car for $39 which is much less than we've paid other places. Great location. We go often to New York and we will stay here again.
Great Family Trip - posted on 10/22/2005
Just got home from a visit to NYC w/my si, neice, & mother. Everyone was great. All issues were addressed VERY fast. All of the employees were really nice. Only problem was the Very Slow elevators. But, I would stay there again, great location to all major attractions. A+++
pleasant surprise - posted on 10/03/2005
I needed a last minute midtown hotel and the Belvedere was the only one available for a reasonable rate - it was a pleasant surprise. Decently sized room, good sized closet, fridge, coffee maker. Clean. Any requests were handled incredibly promptly (extra towels, help with luggage, etc.).
Good hotel - posted on 09/21/2005
We really liked the size of the rooms, the two dbl beds and particularly the small fridge, microwave and extra sink. Having the rooms back from the hallway was good design.
Great Stay - posted on 09/12/2005
Great location. Quiet street close to Broadway, Time Square, restaurants and subway. Excellent staff on hand for all of your needs.
First time to New York - posted on 09/12/2005
This was our first trip to new york and we had a great time. The hotel was more than what we could ask for. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and spacious with great views, the bathrooms were clean, the location was perfect, the kitchen facilities were a great amenities, and you can't beat the price. We would definately stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for making our trip memmorable.
Great Accomodations! - posted on 09/11/2005
We had a wonderful experience at the Belvedere! Terrific location on a quiet residential street. Close to everything; subway, Broadway, Times Square, shopping.
awesome location - posted on 08/12/2005
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Belvedere. The location is just far enough away from the city noise but definitely close enough to walk to everything. The rooms were of ample size and the fridge and microwave in the room were a great amenity. Would definitely stay here again!
Pleasantly Surprised - posted on 08/10/2005
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Besides a slight urine smell in the bathroom, the room was spacious and clean... I guess you can't have it all.
location - posted on 08/09/2005
rooms were nice.bellman were very friendly. great location. the staff was very helpful with changing our rooms. the cleaning service lost my daughters skirt & the problem just seemed to get passed from person to person & was not resolved by the time we left on 8/6. elevators are slow.
Great value - posted on 08/07/2005
This hotel is in a terrific location and is a great value. Our room was clean and the service friendly. The hotel also offers packages that include their breakfast bar, which if you're a student on a budget is terrific b/c you can grab stuff to go for lunch. Our only problem was temperature fluctuation in the shower.
Best buy in midtown! - posted on 08/04/2005
For the price, I don't think you'll find a better, cleaner hotel in midtown Manhattan. This was my second stay at this hotel. Just about the cleanest hotel I've stayed in ANYWHERE, and convenient to midtown locations while still being tucked away a bit "off the beaten path." Only problem I had this visit was a steady humming noise from outside all night, perhaps from an air conditioning system [not necessarily the hotel's]. The personal air conditioner in my room worked well, which was a good thing considering NYC was having the hottest weather in three years during my stay!
Nice stay - posted on 11/14/2004
We stayed 4 nights at The Belvedere Hotel in a deluxe room where I shared a queenbed with my daughter. However, a king bed would be better. We were happy with the pantry. The bathroom was small and old, but very clean. For a short stay The Belvedere Hotel is a very good choice, 5 min. walk from Times Square and the subway and busses are excellent!
Better Than Expected! - posted on 11/03/2004
We loved this hotel, and it's very reasonable, considering its location. Newly refurbished, with sparkling-clean tile, it had decent linens and a friendly & helpful staff. The nonsmoking room was truly smoke-free, as well. As an adult "mother-stepdaughter" duo, we had enough room to spread out all our "stuff" and felt completely safe. We could walk to 3 Broadway shows, the "start" location for the double-decker tour buses, and shopping on Fifth Avenue. No hidden charges suddenly appeared at checkout, either. The only warning: the bathroom was TINY. (A big guy would be uncomfortable.) I would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend it.
