Wellington Hotel, New York City

Advantages: Location, freindly helpful staff
Disadvantages: bit tired/dated

...from 4 nights in The Wellington Hotel. We booked it back in Jan'07 thru an online hotel booking site (I may have mentioned it in other reviews) We also booked flights directly with BA thru their website. We had stayed in NewYork about 2 years ago in a YMCA in the upper westside. However as my oldies were coming with us we had to book a hotel. We booked a suite at The Wellington for around £780 for 4 adults for 4 nights and the BA flights from ABZ ...

Advantages: Location, Location, Location :-)
Disadvantages: Tired and Dated Hotel :-(

We booked up The Wellington Hotel for Seven Nights on the Alpharooms website (cheapest we could find) for two people it came to £920; which is a good price for a week in a mid-range hotel in NYC. Most of the reviews read favourably, indicating that the main advantage of staying here was its location on 7th Ave/55th St. Upon entering the Hotel we were greeted with a HUGE grand looking chandelier, lighting up the reception area. The staff were pleasant ...
...Queen Room instead of the Double we'd previously booked, without us even having to ask! Our room was located on the 9th floor (923 if you're interested!) But upon entering the lifts to head up to our room we got an inkling as to what was in store. It's a very tired, old hotel in desperate need of a makeover. The elevators are very slow (you can be waiting an age at busy times). The room we were allocated was clean and tidy, but felt dark and pretty ... Read review

Advantages: Simple, quite cheap for New York
Disadvantages: Not very modern

...2006, and for me the Wellington Hotel was a great choice! As I was 18 and it was just me and my partner, we wanted something cheap and cheerful. In the end (including flights) we paid £1,300 for 5 days, which is quite cheap for New York. When we arrived, everyone is really helpful and offer to take your bags to your room (although n.b. you do have to pay tips!). The rooms are really good value and you get the usual tv, kettle, maSSive bed and good ...
...To sum up, the Wellington Hotel is great for the value, not very modern compared to some hotels, but staff are friendly and rooms get cleaned everyday etc. etc. Just one thing - if you use a shuttle bus to get back to the airport, book it at reception a few days before. I just presumed they turned up and spent loads getting a taxi. ... Read review
