The Wellington Hotel New York is all about location! It’s actually a couple of meters from Carnegie Hall, half block to the Russian Tea Room, 1 block to Central Park, half block to David Letterman’s theater, and a rather inexpensive cab ride to everywhere you would like to go on Broadway. In case you have more money than brains you can step to the boutiques on 57th, which include Bergdorf-Goodman, Tiffany’s and the like.

We opted for one bedroom apartment in the back of the place, which in fact had zero view, but given it has been off-street, was a wise trade-off. It was remarkably peaceful, with a stunning marbled bath, super water pressure, a clean, calm apartment with bedroom, lounge room, and kitchenette along with refrigerator, sink, and micro wave. Door man and assistant desk had been helpful with maps and info. Heating system has been a little loud, however this is the situation in most of these old buildings. Wi-fi was suitable.

Coffee shop in the hotel is used by everybody in the location so it’s usually busy with line-ups. Walk out of the hotel for 2 blocks or so and you’ll come across coffee/sandwich shops lower priced compared to coffee shop in the hotel. (This can be helpful advice wherever you will be staying in New York!).

The Wellington diner is a dimly lit, greek design and style, traditional affair with velvet chairs, from the main reception. This hotel can be a hardship on the impaired, with there being alcoves and released hallways with half floors. Steps going up or down nearly everywhere in the hotel. Both the coffee shop and also the restaurant are generally costly, and are taking advantage of the tourists. Actually, across the street, several feet away from hotel is a Subway, a number of street vendors, and also a Starbucks next door, all of which were doing a quick money from the quite a few hotel clients in the neighborhood.

The hotel even had a beauty and hair salon, well stocked put store, room service menu, plus a TV in the bedroom and the lounge room. There was fast answer from the reception if you had questions or difficulties with heating up or housekeeping services troubles. Many cleaning workers in New York hotels don’t speak English, therefore don’t anticipate too much. Unusually there is a coffee machine in the kitchen area, though the receptionist said they do not provide coffee.. Altogether, a fantastic choice for this spot. I will most likely stay at the Wellington Hotel whenever I get back to New York, mainly because of the cost and location.
