Belvedere Hotel

GREAT find! This hotel felt more sturdy than most in NYC. There are several hotels in Hells Kitchen and near Times Square that feel like a pop-up feel as if they haven't been around for long. They can also sometimes feel cheaply made. This hotel felt like it has been around and maintained splendidly for years: aka why I call it like a classic Manhattan hotel. I lived in NYC for several years and this is probably one of my favorite hotels I have stayed in after moving out of NYC. Hells Kitchen is known for their food! So if you want to be close to the heart of the city and want to be within walking distance to some of the best food in the world, then Hell's Kitchen and the Belvedere Hotel are for you! It is close to the CE 50th Street stop on the "Blue" Train Line. Our room was very large, clean, spacious, and we had a great view of the avenue from our window. The service was prompt and friendly (proper efficient NYC service). There is breakfast for a fee and you can leave your bags (checked with a Bellhop) so you don't have to bring your bags with you throughout the day. Only bummer was the hotel fee: $35 per night (most hotels in NYC have this type of fee, I just don't like the idea of it) Monday night price: Room, taxes, hotel fee $166.95 I highly recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel very close to Times Square and the theater district. Very walkable location. Staff was wonderful our room had a fridge and microwave. Rooms were clean and plenty of room. Keep in mind you are in NYC and space is smaller than in other parts of the country. Keeping this in mind the room was spacious . Great price for the location. The Brazilian BBQ restaurant attached to the hotel was outstanding . I wouldn’t bother with the hotel breakfast, 9.99 for a couple of danish. There is a $30 resort fee for each day which is just a way to keep the rates looking cheap. So when you book consider the additional $30. Overall we were happy with this hotel and would stay again.

This older hotel has been nicely renovated inside. The place itself is covered in scaffolding right now. The desk staff were nice. Unfortunately, it is NYC and the $30 Facility Fee is pretty steep for what it is supposed to cover. We couldn't take advantage of the "free" happy hour due to the timing of our show. This "discount on the breakfast....well for a bagel and a piece of fruit and coffee...$21.00 was a lot of money. It was pouring so we elected to stay and eat at the hotel rather than walk to a diner. I just think that a continental breakfast should be complimentary. Especially after paying an additional Facility Fee. As for our room, it was lovely...we received an upgrade, the view was nice and the bed was extremely comfortable.
