I’ve stayed at the ...

I’ve stayed at the hotel for one week. The location is great, near Lincoln Center, Natural History Museum and Central Park. It is not as noisy as a Times Square hotel. The area is quiet and tow blocks away from Metro station line 1 or 5 blocks away from Metro stations 2 and 3. Aside from other hotels in NY, they give you a 10 dollar ticket a day to purchase your breakfast at Mille-foullie, a French bakery next to the hotel. Although is expensive, you can get a coffee and a pastry, and the pastries are delicious. The only negative thing is that it is very small and very little place to dine in. You can get your breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant, but between 9 and 10 am it is hard to find a place to sit, I suggest to go earlier. The rooms are well equipped but there is no fridge in common rooms, only in suites. There is only one elevator working, if you are lucky and get higher floors, you can always get in but if you are in 4th floor or less, you always have to wait. Elevators are too old and there is a service elevator in case of emergency, cause the day the only one working, broke down, we have to use the emergency one. People from reception are very nice and comfy, and I have to congratule Jaelle, Benedict and Mark, that been very nice and helpful with me. I had a problem with the tidy up room service, that for two days in a row, they forgot to come in, and people from reception come up with a quick and helpful solution. I love New York, and this time was my fifth visit, I definitely will come back and come back to Belleclaire. Have a nice Holidays and happy new year!

Highly recommend this friendly, ...

Highly recommend this friendly, very clean hotel. The outside is 1800s-looking and so the interior was a fun, updated surprise. Everything you need is here - plenty of comfortable seating in a quiet, sleek area at the end of the lobby. Well placed benches near the front, for waiting for uber, etc. A bar-restaurant on site is atmospheric -we only peeked in, with no time to enjoy it. And a rightfully popular, absolutely delicious, bakery on site. Vouchers to the bakery are included with the room, which was our favorite perk. The area has excellent restaurants and transportation. Good location. Sleeping was surprisingly quiet. I only wish the windows opened for air, which is hard to find in New York! At least the windows were big, letting in beautiful light and also with blackout shades for those who like sleeping in full darkness. We stayed the night for our daughter’s wedding in Central Park. We upgraded to the New Amsterdam suite, a sunshiny, comfortable suite with a pretty view of interesting buildings. Bath & ½, water in the fridge, microwave - great for getting ready for a wedding! And a great option for a long stay. Most importantly, after our good impression, when something went awry, I had no time to address it until we returned home. When I contacted the hotel via email – the issue was professionally and immediately rectified. THAT is the most important of all and is the reason I made sure to take the time to write this review. If you’re wondering if you should stay here, we think you should feel comfortable booking the reservation! Have fun!
