great for the money

Very friendly and helpful staff - wonderful location. The room was roomy and clean - very comfortable beds. The price was very reasonable in comparison to everything else in NY. I would stay again and recommend it to anyone. Can't wait to go back.

Good Value for a Short Stay

I was in NYC for a single night. Needed a place to stay so I would be in town for an early morning meeting. This hotel was perfect. It was literally one block from my meeting location (whose rooms were twice as expensive). It had everything I needed to be comfortable. While it was fine for a one-night stay, the room was very small and the bathroom was tiny. It would be hard for more than one person to spend more than a couple of nights in this room. I had asked for a smoking room and did not get one. But the bellman told me the smoking rooms had not yet been renovated so I elected to stay on the non-smoking room. Red Eye Grill almost across the street is a great restaurant. Overall, a good value for the money.

Good value, great location

The only negative aspect of our stay was the noise from the pipes when they were heating up - at intervals from 2.00am to 8.00am. The noise was often very loud and impossible to sleep through. I'm not sure if this was a complaint throughout the hotel, or just some rooms.

40th surprise birthday trip.

The Wellington Hotel is 3mins walk from Central Park and 15mins from the heart of Time Square, so ideally placed for relaxing, shopping and all the things New York and Manhattan has to offer. Staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean and adequate. All in all a great place to stay.....I would recommend it and go back.

lots of places to eat at very expensive. i would suggest some of the deli which have everything from water to diner foods for less than the restaurants if you are staying several days would cut down on cost and help the small business.

Shopping trip

Had a few problems with the Hotel, when we returned to our room on the Thursday there was a Gentleman "painting" and grouting in the bedrooms/ bathroom all our personal belonging were taken out of the wardrobe and placed on the beds I was livid the hotel changed our room but wasted time for us. The staff at Reception are not very helpful and it takes a long time for anything to be resolved. They just need to have a bit more customer support then it would be fine. I have stayed there before and had no problems.

Location was great...only

Everything about this hotel, except its excellent Midtown Manhattan location, felt universally ordinary, and sub-par considering its setting and the price. Not only was there a fee for WiFi, but the room was small, the closet was small, the bathroom was small (with hardly any shelf space and a glass cup wrapped in paper - barely a step up from a motor lodge). There were food crumbs in the crevices of the chair and along the floor boards above the carpet, which made the whole cleanliness of the hotel feel below effort.

Just a 10-15 minute to the heart of Times Square and the Theater District, so this felt just far enough away from those crowds to be a bit of a refuge from the throngs of tourists.

Excellent central location

The hotel cafe was a little basic but the staff were very friendly and the food was good. The location of the hotel was excellent, minutes from Central Park and Fifth Avenue, and a short walk from Times Square. Our room was large and comfortable, with plenty of drawer and closet space. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would have been good, but I don't know if this is standard in American hotel rooms.

Perfect Price, and location

Extremely helpful staff, Fantastic location, after reading others reviews, i was a bit anxious, well, all unnecessary, ... for a start how long do u stay in a hotel for long anyway? It was great value, for what you get, the location in 7th ave, is just right few blocks away from central park and ten from times square. The subway is right outside the front door. Will definatley book this hotel again and recommend it to anyone any a tight budget, or for a hotel in a good location.
