2 nights in the Bedford
I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in April 2011 which cost just under €320. 
Location was FANTASTIC...walking distance to so many attractions. 
The hotel itself was only average...the room was a good size but a little old fashioned and the bathroom was clean. I guess the fact that I paid nearly €160 a night...I felt a little let down!
I would recommend this hotel...if I return to NYC and if the price was right - I would make a return to the Bedford purely for its great location.
