Belnord Residence Hotel Hotel - Page 1

I would give this hotel -100 too.

They screwed up my reservation so I ended up wasting $300 dollars when i didn't even get to check in.

And if you call in, don't trust the receptionists because they basically lied and I got my entire reservation screwed up.

The receptionists are very rude, too. I would just spend more money and stay at a better place.

I thought that I'd give this place a try in order to save a few dollars. Big mistake on my part. I've never run hotel and you can call me crazy but just don't think there's any excuse for bugs infesting a bed that I sleep in or for those bugs feasting on me while I sleep as I wound up itching and covered in bites including on my face. I was moved and occupied 3 different rooms during my 7-day stay. Wrong answer.

As for the rooms themselves, consider yourself lucky if you have a closet to store your belongings and if the carpet is clean. Try not to get neck strain while watching the television that's at ceiling level. Try meditation in order to relax on their most uncomfortable beds. And "service" is not this place's middle name.

So that's what equates a "budget hotel"? Sad.

Ironically, the one thing that you'd think would be a problem (shared bathrooms) wasn't. They were fine, clean and there were 3 or 4 on every floor.

On the bright side, the location is great. I love the Upper West side, but that's about all I can offer as an endorsement for the Belnord.

My rating for this hotel is -100, if there were such a thing. Bad management, supper small rooms and awful receptionist. Save you time, money and aggravation and pick another hotel. I am not sure why they call this place a hotel, it is hostel than a hotel....
