The Beekman Tower Hotel - New York

Vi fikk en suite med 2 rom og kjøkken. Store rom møblert med fine nostalgiske møbler. Supergod seng. Noe slitt, men det må man tåle på et nostalgisk hotell. Vi hadde bra utsikt fra leiligheten . Og fra restauranten i toppetasjen var det helt fantastisk å innta frokost eller en drink om kvelden. Der hadde man panoramautsikt til sjøsida mot øst og manhattens […] skyskrapere langs de andre vindusveggene og terrassene. Det var synd vi ikke fikk mer enn en natt på dette hotellet. Les mer

Et litt slitent hotell under oppussing. Men det veies opp av veldig hyggelige ansatte. Alle gjør dette hotellet til et hjemmekoselig hotel. Fantastisk utsikt fra restauranten på toppen. Veldig romantisk. Gangavstand fra masse. Men vi gikk også mye. Den beste måten å få sett mye på. Ekte amerikansk frokostrestaurant på den andre siden av gaten om du […] ikke bruker hotellets.

Hotellet var slitt og ikke vedlikeholdt i den senere tid og møblementet var slitt og det var flere steder det var slitt hull i stoffet på møblene. Hotellets ekstrasenger var elendig. Skjeve og ustødige. Servicen var upåklagelig. Hjelpsomme og flinke folk i resepsjon.

The service you get from the front desk is depend on who is working at front desk. Some of the front desk staffs are arrogant and unpolite. Housekeeping is very poor and do not attend our request properly (disinterested and useless). They did not change towels. We requested several times towels and shampoo . each day we had to stop at the front desk […] for requesting towels and shampoo. Les mer

Så bra ut når vi sjekket inn, fikk oppgradering til større rom. Service av de ansatte upåklagelig. Men rommene var slitte, luktet røyk og var langt ifra 3 stjerner eller slik det fremstår på nett. Ligger litt utenfor alt i tillegg

Beekman Tower Hotel is a lovely redbrick Art Deco building, on 1st Ave about 10 minutes walk from the closest metro, E53rd and Lexington, and close to the UN building. The Art Deco style is consistent throughout the hotel, with some beautiful details in the foyer. We were a family of 3 and had booked a suite with bedroom and sleeper sofa. We were extremely […] lucky to get one of the best rooms in the hotel, room 20D. This has an open balcony overlooking 1st Avenue, with a fantastic 270 degree view of the New York skyline to the west, the full length north-south of 1st Avenue, and East River/Queensboro Bridge to the east. Get this room if possible! The room and kitchen facilities were good - nothing fancy but everything worked. We were there in middle of July and aircon worked fine. Well recommended. Les mer

This is my second stay the Beekman. I like the location for mid town appointments. The rooms are a suite with kitchen, living room and bedroom. Sure each room is small but having been in a few friends apt's in NY made me feel like this was my own place. The service was fast and simple they had my reservation and check in only took a minute. The room […] was clean and service was good. Ate at the nations Cafe across the street for breakfast and stopped at the Starbucks 2 blocks away on 2nd ave which got my morning started off great. If you want feel like you live in NY for week or so this is great little hotel. Les mer

Thid place hasn't been updated ever. Good location but thsts about it. Room was big but super outdated

We were iIn pet room. Capet was very poor and had small area of separation,visible concrete. Also had some exposed carpet tacos(ouch). Room smelled like smoke The configuration of room was good with sm kitchen. Area was quiet for the city. However adjoining room doors slammed easily and loudly. Hotel lobby was beautiful. Internet charge per day per […] computer- not expected. Not sure would recommend. Non pet rooms may have been better. Les mer

Had quite enjoyed my stay at the Beekman hotel until towards thye last two days of my over two weeks stay. My kitchen sink had a leaking problem, to which the hotel plumber promptly responded to and came to fix, however some of my food that had been in the kitchen cupbopard had been spoilt by the dirty water from the sink. I contacted the hotel manager […] on duty, who was apparently very impolite and uncooperative. He told me there was nothing they could do about my 'spoilt' groceries and ehcne I must not expect anything. The least i expected was coutersy out of an un-anticipated incovenvenience. The Manager was very rude and almost the banged the phone down on me, promised to call back but never did. I had intended to take the matter up further on the next day but decided otherwise as i thought it unnnecessary to drain the energy out of me. A sincere and genuine apology from the hotel would have been appropriate. i was extremely disappinted after what had been a fairly above average stay for me and my coallegues. Would I ever go back there? i don know! Good customer care is everything!!!!! Les mer

the staff tried to put me in two rooms that looked at a concrete wall or scaffolding. Then they took me to the next door "dormitory building". I finally accepted a generous sized room that looked directly at an apartment building next door. The building is old, outdated with an unpleasant lobby. Having a kitchen in the room was beneficial although everything […] was very old. I liked the area, since it was quiet and has convenient restaurants. I would not stay there again. Les mer

very nice,quiet and clean hotel. We stayed at a suite room which was so comfortable and with relax. We wanna come back there soon again, and would like to recommend to my friends.

We returned to the Beekman after staying there years ago and were not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and attentive. While the overall condition needs a bit of attention, the restaurant view at at the top was awesome! We would definitely stay there again!

The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. Our room was a suite with a pull out sofa and kitchenette. The most noticeable improvement that could be made would be replacing the old green carpet that had seen many years of service. However, the room was very clean and everything worked. You can't go wrong for the price. The best thing is the 26th […] floor Top of the Tower restaurant and bar which has great views in all directions. There are many small markets and convenience stores nearby. The closet subway entrance is at 51st and Lexington, a 5-10 minute walk. Les mer

Great hotel, and superior convenience - love the suite layout and the kitchenette is ideal! Second visit, and the first stay vs. second, regarding room anemities, was day and night! Luck of the draw is not unique to this hotel, I'm sure. Enjoy!!

I can definitely see where this hotel was once quite nice and the retro theme could be lovely BUT this hotel is ready for a major overhaul. I had to call the desk several times to get needed items: towels, blowdryer, bed made up. Plugs were non-functional; bathroom taps were leaky; curtain rods were old fashioned and did not curve outward so you had […] to fight with the shower curtain while showering. Despite requesting a non-smoking room we were given a smoking room. I was told requests are never guaranteed. My asthma and I had a hard time accepting this response. They did change us to a non-smoking room but not without my insistance...cough, cough, wheeze, wheeze...not a great way to begin a holiday weekend in New York. we made the best of it and while it was not uninhabitable, I would not recommend this hotel nor would I stay there again.

Stayed in this hotel during the President's day long weekend. The hotel is doing construction on the second floor, and it happens to be the floor we are staying. No other rooms are available since its busy weekend. The windows are blocked by scafolddings so there aren't any view. The water is yellowish but it eventually cleared out. There is no hair […] dryer so make sure bring your own. Its a studio so it comes with a kitchenette with a mini gas burner. Burner doesn't work (it doesn't lit), and there are no pots and pans, rendering the kitchen almost useless with the exception of a small microwave we use to heat water for tea. Therefore, not sure why they have kitchenette in the first place... The room is fairly good size, but not much furnishing, just lots of useless empty space. I wish they will consider to upgrade their bed to at least king size, since space not seem to be an issue. The bed is pretty aged. We can actually feel the springs poking out on strategic places. We didn't mind as much since with our full schedule during the day, we pretty much passed out directly when returned to the hotel. We did check out the restaurant at the top level of the hotel "Top of the Tower" for breakfast. The view is excellent and the omelete is delicious. Monday morning, the construction starts, and you can feel the room shaking. I guess its the hotel's way of reminding you its time to checkout. The serving staff in hotel generally have good attitude, however I wish the hotel is more "equipped" and letting the customer know they are in the middle of the construction, and perhaps close the construction floor instead of renting it out to customers. Since this is a mid-price range hotel, I expect a little bit more of quality. I have stayed in much cheaper hotel in Manhattan with much better room quality (and yes, they have hair dryer). In summary - the experience is not what you paid for. I would recommed people to stay away unless there are no other choice. Les mer

We had a lovely weekend staying at the Beekman. It was like having out own apartment in the city. There was plenty of room, a beautiful location and was very convenient. We will definitely stay there again when we go back to NYC.

We ended up with a room in the adjacent building which did not have a hotel feel at all. Narrow noisy entry, furnishings tired and worn, old small tv. Staff were very helpful and for the price it wasn't a bad deal, though the shower never got hot for us. It fit the bill for our one night but I wouldn't go back. Maybe for a room in the main hotel, but […] not for the old building, certainly. Les mer

PROs The hotel is a charming '30s tower by the East River, facing the UN HQ. Staff is friendly and helpful. Location is in a safe and quiet neighborhood, within a few blocks from good restaurants, even if it takes at least 20 min to the main attractions of Midtown. Room have amazing views and are huge. Beds are very comfortable, linen are clean. Restaurant […] is great: food and view. CONs Furniture (except from mattress) is outdated Wifi is available but incredibly overpriced We spotted a well-grown beetle happily walking on the carpet (but I guess it's pretty normal in such an old building...I guess...I hope!)

I was upgraded to a suite and it was pretty big - more like an old-fashioned one bedroom apartment than a traditional hotel suite. That was nice since I had a lot of work to do and could spread out. The whole place had more of a pre-war bldg feel than a hotel feel, incl the old (but charming) furniture and the (worn) carpet. I did not like that there […] was no inside lock or bold on the door (only the card-key lock). But the staff is friendly and the price was right. I don't normally like being so far on the east side, so it is not an ideal location for me. The room had a lovely view of the east river, though. Les mer

Pros: Hotel staff was all incredibly helpful, from front desk to the bellhops. Location was great- Walking distance to Times Square or just hop on the bus for a few minutes. Cons: Nearly impossible to get an early check-in but were willing to hold our bags for us. Room was clean but sofa sleeper was stained all over. With the price we paid one would […] think they'd be able to upgrade worn furniture every couple of years. Extra: It may not matter to some but there was a convenience store right across the street that stays open late! Les mer

Great location and huge rooms for NYC with good beds. Love the Top of the Tower on the 26th floor for fantastic views of the City. Could not get good wireless reception in the east wing and the hotel furnishings are dated but fine. Good to have a little kitchen if you like being able to stop at the Deli.

All was great, just a little disappointed by the fact that there was nothing to cook a little in the small kitchen. only one frying pan ! I had to ask for a kettle to boil water for my tea ! it would have been nice to have a simple pot and other accessories to be able to cook pasta or rice !

Excellant location and convenient crosstown bus nearby to connect to all subways & major shopping area in midtown NYC -- Staff very courteous and rooftop breakfast & dinner available with majestic views of NY skyline.

We had never stayed on this side of Manhattan before and found the neighborhood to be charming. Its more residential than we're used to, and its a very nice residential. Our room was a suite and very spacious. It had a small kitchen, which we didn't use. Having separate rooms to sleep was perfect for our family of four. The staff was more courteous […] and kind than other NYC hotels. A trip to the top floor for the views is a must while staying here. This hotel is older and it shows. It doesn't compete with the fancy newer or remodeled hotels; however, the price is the same. It was comfortable, though. There is a parking garage in the same block if you don't want to use the hotel valet; however, its overpriced. We found out after the fact that we could have gotten validation from the hotel for a few dollars off, which doesn't make much difference. There are less expensive garages a few blocks away. Its a 15-20-min walk to Rockefeller Center, and practically next door to the United Nations. What would have made our stay better is a less expensive parking options made known to us. There are many nice places to eat in the area that are much less expensive than those in Times Square. We would stay here again if we could get a better rate. Les mer

If you are looking for space in the city, this is it! Huge space with a full kitchen. A trifle dated and worn in most areas but for the price/space you can overlook the flaws. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was quiet and a number of food offerings in the immediate walkable area. Definatly plan to make a return trip to the Beekman Tower.

Overall a good experience and loved the 26th floor views! Would suggest updating carpeting and couch, they are old and worn. I would stay again on business for location and good price point.

The Beekman is a bit worn around the edges but that makes it all the more classic in my view. My room was spacious for a mid-town hotel in this price range. the staff was nice and the restaurant on the top floor, with its terrific view of the East River and surrounds is a bonus.
