Hotel Elysee, New York City

Advantages: Excellent Location
Disadvantages: Food

...Although the hotel is situated in one of the best locations in New York City (it is a couple of blocks away from the centre of Times Square), it lacks a little quality. The restaurant facilities are not up to much, especially breakfast-wise and the rooms are nothing special. However, it is better than most hotels in New York and the location does more than make up for the slight lack of quality. The hotel is situated in a midtown location which is ideal for shopping and seeing most of the NYC sites.... Read review

...Hotel Carter is often referred to as a hostel but I wouldn't go that far. Although it's not exactly New York luxury the room was en-suite and was clean and a good size, if a little dated (the carpet on the wall is somewhat different!). The Hotel didn't have a restaurant but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. If you are just after a cheap weekend in the Big Apple you can't get a much more central location than this Hotel which is just off Times Square and for the money compared to other NY hotels I think it is great value. Especially since you'll probably spend very little time in hotel room with the rest of New York to explore!... Read review

...If you are looking to live the high life during your stay in New York city, book in to the Waldorf Astoria hotel. The lobby has to be seen to be believed with a stunning clock and superbly furnished check in desks. They have a number of top quality restaurants ranging from their best offering, the Peacock Alley to the lively Oscar's. the rooms are spacious and well furnished. The room service and maids are of the highest quality, which you would expect paying this much for a hotel room. But it really does deserve its title as one of New York's most prestigious and luxurious hotels.... Read review
