The punch line of the old joke "how do you get to Carnegie Hall" is of course, "practice, practice, practice". But an easier way is to stay at the Wellington and just walk across the street. This Midtown hotel is convenient as well to Central Park, Fifth Avenue's great stores, Lincoln Center and many of America's corporate headquarters. The level of service is high, while the cost is relatively modest.

Dont Bother!

When we entered the reception area, it seemed very nice. But as soon as we got out of the lift on the floor, what a difference! scruffy paintwork, fusty smell. The room was very small, and the bathroom tiny with rusty pipes and a cracked sink. I certainly would not recommend this Hotel.! There is a safe you can use free of charge, but you are not allowed to take it away from the desk, so when you want to get something from your safe you are among everyone else who is checking in. no privacy at all! very strange.

I cant wait to be back

Myself and my best friend arrived in new york with a very quick taxi transfer costing a flat rate of $45. Our hotel was wonderful and gave us the most hospitality and comfort you could of wished for. We had a large twin room which was nicely decorated and brillant features to hand. We had a maid service each money of our stay which was lovely have. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. Brilliant diner attached onto the hotel for amazing breakfasts at low prices. The location of the hotel couldnt of been better, just a few blacks to walk and your right in the centre of times square a fantastic location. Just beware of taxi fares one thing we did regret was taking a cab to places whereas the four day of our trip out of a week we braved the subway which was a true delight at an unbelievable cost. People very welcomming and friendly- take a good map with you... alot different to the underground! Defiantly going back to the wellington hotel, infact cant wait!

Do Not Stay In This HOTEL

The first room we were shown to was small/dirty/ faulty wiring , the hairdryer was hanging out of the wall, the down pipe in the bathroom was thick with rust carpets dirty etc, After waiting to complain with about a dozen others also wanting to be moved to better rooms were we offered three others before being offered the chance of a "Suite" at an extra 60 dollars a night. Manangemet very unhelpful, staff offerering little help extra for observation that as the Wellington is over a hundred years old what do you expect". It took fours months of emailing Thomsons to finally get a partial refund of the extra we had to pay for what we should had been offered in the first place. Parts of the hotel were freezing cold and other parts like a sauna . Definately not a place I would ever stay at again
