"The Belvedere Hotel is located in a perfect spot for those who want to visit Times Square and Broadway, while also being in a more quiet neighborhood, just 1-2 blocks away from the madding crowd. You are within very reasonable walking distance of good restaurants, bagel shops, drug stores, bars, and Broadway theaters. The hotel staff will tell you about discount parking that is only 0.3 miles away and very safe. The hotel has authentic Art Deco design and gives guests a sense of stepping back in time. It is a well maintained property and the staff is very responsive to minor issues in the rooms. You have to be patient with the elevators because they are somewhat small and you have to wait a few minutes during busy times. But if you are observant and creative you can find at least 4 elevators adjacent to the lobby. The stairways, which are clean and safe, offer a good alternative for those who are fit. The staff is very personable, professional, and friendly. The rooms are attractive, the beds are very cozy, and the bathrooms have a nice updated shower. The only issue we experienced during our stay in 1 of our rooms was that use of the hair blower tripped a circuit breaker and we lost partial power in some of the circuits of one room. But a call to the front desk resulted in resolution within 5 minutes or less, which was very impressive. We have stayed at the Belvedere several times and will definitely return the next time we are in NYC."
