Relaxing in the Urban Jungle
Review of Giraffe Hotel, New York City by
flatshandy
Advantages: location, breakfast available, free wine in the evenings
Disadvantages: noise, can be expensive at some times of year
...friendly without being overly familiar. Our room was cleaned every day by the time we returned and the doorstaff were always on hand to help flag a taxi.
So was it worth it? Absolutely. We'd go back to the Giraffe in a flash - it's a great little hotel. ...

File Me Impressed!
Review of Library Hotel, New York City by
venice105
Advantages: Peaceful, plush, unique hotel in NYC
Disadvantages: Slightly off the beaten path
...and I stayed in the Library Hotel in late August of 2004 for two nights. After spending a few nights in one of its sister hotels the Casablanca we had to change accommodation due to room availability. The Library Hotel is presumably named for its location, right across from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park. It is also themed after libraries down to the finest detail, with rooms being numbered by the Dewey Decimal system, and each floor ... ...of the New York Public Library from its wall to wall window overlooking Madison Avenue. Well what more could I ask for? A rooftop garden terrace perhaps, with an attached bar? No, surely that would be over the top! Well I have saved perhaps the best for last, as this hotel does indeed have a delightful rooftop garden (I believe they call it the "Poetry Garden", although I personally did not experience any poetry there!), with decent if not vast views, ...

Casablanca Hotel, New York

Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Great value hotel right in the heart of Manhattan,at 147 West 43rd St, New York. Just off Times Square but more a quiet oasis than bustling metropolis. Extremely well run.
Totally themed out in Morroccan style (mosiac tiling and palms throughout) its actually pretty authentic. Owner and staff are all North African or at least second generation.

Wellington Hotel, NYC
Review of Wellington Hotel, New York City by
sophietucker77
Advantages: Central Location
Disadvantages: Room Size
We stayed here in Feb 2008 after booking through an online travel company. We booked our flights with another online company. We were very happy with this mid-range hotel. It has an impressive exterior but we were slightly disappointed with the room sizes and the staff were not overly friendly - constant tipping required in return for information!
The hotel is ideally located 10 mins from Times Square and 5 mins from Central Park. There is an amazing ... ...a long day out for a quick bite to eat.
We were offered an upgrade on arrival and the room was average - not very clean but somewhere to rest after a day's sightseeing and shopping. Make sure you take a bus tour and give the outlet village a miss! ...

The Wellington The Hotel That Never Sleeps
Review of Wellington Hotel, New York City by
Mickie26
Advantages: good convinient location, exceptionally clean, very good price
Disadvantages: A bit dated, very busy, staff are not always available
...difficult choice. We chose The Wellington Hotel. I thought it was the right decision when I booked it and as soon as I saw the hotel I knew I had made the right decision. The outside of the hotel looks impressive and you can see the lights from Times Square which is really cosy and inviting.
Walking through the reception a massive chandelier greets you which gives a magical feeling to your visit. It was quite a nice surprise to see the chandelier ... ...like the theatre then The Wellington Hotel is in a prime location in the middle of Manhattan Hotels very close to Broadway theatres. New York is a fascinating City with much to do and see. New York City is both exciting and interesting. There are many hotels and youth hostels in New York City, but The Wellington Hotel is certainly a very inviting hotel that is close to most amenities.
Whether your stay is for leisure purposes or business New York ...
