Amsterdam Court Hotel
by A TripAdvisor Member
The Amsterdam Court Hotel was in a great location just a few blocks from time square and at a good price. The room were small with only 2 feet around the king bed. There was no room for your suitcase. If you want to be close to time square this is a good place to stay.
A great way to visit new york

I grew up in NY and visit often and have stayed at the Amsterdam Court a number of times. This is a very well-run, small "boutique hotel" steps from Times Square, and major bus and all subway lines. The rooms are not large by American standards (and those with King size beds are cramped because the room size does NOT vary with bed size!). There are also rooms that face an interior "air shaft" BUT the quality of the service (there's a complimentary 'bagel' breakfast adjacent to the lobby every morning, coffee and tea brewing in this room around the clock and an extremely helpful and courteous staff) can't be beat. Plus you can tour the city, return to Time Square by cab, bus or train, shower and dress and walk 2 or 3 blocks to hundreds of restaurants and all of Broadway. The hotel was remodelled a few years ago and the motif is just as it is pictured in pictures on the internet: It's a blend of browns and tan in a modern motif that, in some minds look 'tired' in others look suave. If you want canary yellow, stay at the Holiday Inn. Stay here: you will love it!
Great little hotel - value for money in the middle of NY
by TripAdvisor Member BlueBubs
This is a good little hotel in the central of NY. Me and my partner went in Jan. 2003 when it was about -20c. Fairly clean however the decor is a little dull and worn out but it kept us really warm - actually a little too warm. We had to open the hotel window a little to get the right temperature. Nothing really too special about this hotel but then we were here to experience NY not the hotel. As long it was fairly clean and basic with a private bathroom - it was more than adequate for us. Would come to this hotel again but maybe not in the summer as we coudln't control the temperature in our room.
very cosy

I was very nervous on the way to the hotel after reading some of the reviews. From the moment we've arrived I was trying very hard to find some kind of faults and I must say that I have failed. I could not find one single problem with this hotel. The hotel staff was absolutly wanderful. My eight year old daughter and the houskeeper were even leaving little notes to each other which made my doughter's stay even more special. I thank you for that and all the staff that made our stay in New York very comfortable. Also the location was perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel.
extremely rude staff

Hotel well placed for all the tourist spots and some excellent restaurants on Restaurant Row (8th and 48/49th street). But this is all it had to offer.
Rooms were small - even by New York standards! Corridors were dark and dimly lit and in need of some re-decoration. Hotels offers a lift which is great as the stairs are very very steep! But the biggest let down was the attitude of the hotel staff. They were extremely rude and grossly unhelpful. Asked for some assistance with directions, venues etc. and Reception could barely manage an utterance. Very unpleasant and totally unnecessary. Would I return? Very unlikely!

We stayed here in early March- our first time sleeping in the big apple. We found the rooms to be tiny but very clean (with daily maid service) and the location couldnt be beat. We could see Radio City music hall as we stepped outside the hotel! Service was very friendly, including a great front desk manager who made sure I got back my back pack (which I'd left on the super shuttle!) Bagels for breakfast saved us the bother and expense of looking for breakfast every morning. The advertised cappucino machine, however, was "out of order"-- a big disappointment. Recommended if you arent going to spend a lot of time in the hotel.

AMSTERDAM COURT HOTEL , NYC QUESTIONS ! !
by jazzy432
We are thinking now of trying out the Amsterdam Court Hotel... The reviews on Tripadvisor - to be honest - arent great - but the last person that reviewed it said it was great location - and not to pay attention to the negative reviews...So.. i know the location is pretty good.. but would like to hear from a native new yorker - if you know anything about this hotel.. Do you think the Milford is a better choice or the Belvedere? We stayed at the milford plaza this past fe.04 and it was fine..
HELP PLEASE>. we are going to book this trip soon.
thank ya !

I typically stay about 8 blocks south of your location on 40th and find the area quite ok. Like any place in NYC, just watch your "6" and you'll be fine. As for the acoomodations it's rated above the place my daughter stayed in for the NYC Film Festival and she thought it was just fine (but that was in comparison to Dorm life inb college at the time).

All those hotels are in the theater district. The Amsterdam Court is an old building. The lobby is updated and has an internet cafe area. I haven't seen the rooms so I can't comment. My advice is, if you've got a choice, go for the Belvedere. It gets rave reviews.
