I travel 200 days a year and this hotel was the worst ever ! Sleep in your car but don't go to this hotel!

I have now stayed at the Belnord on two separate occasions two years apart. In Dec 2004, I found the hotel clean and tidy with all the basic comforts catered for. Having had a satisfactory stay two years ago, I booked again but was this time very dissatisfied. The heating system was our main concern the pipes would make an awful noise throughout the night as the heating system came on and off, it was as if somebody was sat next to you hitting the pipe with a spanner, no exaggeration that is exactly what I thought was going on, When I got up to complain the reception man said it was an old system and cannot be helped. The problem happened every night of our stay and every night we had very disturbed sleep, as did others on our floor. We were on second floor of block 7. Others in our party in other rooms had no such problems but were upset at the coffee, internet and candy machines not working throughout our stay. I will not stay at the Belnord again.

Good place to stay if you don't mind sharing bathroom (very clean) and tiny, dark rooms. Absolutely without any comfort (no chairs, barely room for luggage), but for a short budget trip it is ok.

I was amazed at how small the room was, barely room enough to move around. It did have a private bath, which was also very tiny. It was a convenient location close to the subway stop 1/2 way between Columbia and Times Square. Room was clean, but I probably won't stay there again because of the size of the room.
