Bedford Hotel, New York

Really horrible hotel. The location is OK, but that's the case with any hotel in Manhatten. The bathrooms were covered with mould, the paint was coming off, the smell was awful. The TV didn't work. Had to go out to get some breakfast. I really hate these kitchenets. Never go here, unless you are suicidal.

We originally booked for 3 nights and checked out after one horrible night. Hotel was filled with groups of British high school students who never went to bed and spent the entire night floor and room hopping, loud music in hallways, loud talking and laughing, on and off noisy elevators until 4:00 a.m. No attention was paid to repeated requests from management to cease and their "leaders" couldn't understand why people were complaining. It appears that this hotel is a regular stop for this type of tour group visiting the Big Apple. Never again.

We chose to stay in Bedford as it was just a short walk away from Grand Central Station, where we had to catch the NY Airport Shuttle Service early next morning. A 15min stroll along the 42nd Street & u are right in the heart of Times Square. Service was okay. The staff weren't exceptionally friendly & no help was rendered, even though we were struggling to hold the doors while pulling our suitcase thru. The hotel is generally old but the alleys & rooms were well-maintained. Restrooms were kept clean, though some corners revealed unsightly rusty pipes. Overall, this hotel makes up for its average service with the great location 7 suits the pocket of a budget traveller.

Great hotel, fab location and lovely staff.... I wouldnt stay anywere else when im in NYC. Everything you need is within walking distance, clean and tidy with confortable beds.
