Wellington Hotel Review

A few blocks south of Central Park and Columbus Circle, the Wellington is a fine jumping-off point for visitors who want to see the sights in Midtown and the Upper West Side. The vibe in the rooms is more classic New York than edgy or modern, with floral patterns and dark-wood headboards and chests. The bathrooms, which are small and dark, don't have much to recommend them. Suites, however, are spacious, and include foldout couches and extra beds—great for large families. Molyvos, a boisterous Greek restaurant in the hotel, is an excellent dining option, and the breakfast area doubles as a classic diner the rest of the day. The staff is quite amenable to requests. The hotel runs clever theme packages during holidays, which draw return guests every year.

    We returned home from New York last week after our stay in the Wellington Hotel. We had read a lot of bad reports about the place which were a bit off putting.
    However it was perfectly acceptible as we were only in the room at night when we crashed out after all the sightseeing we had to do. The room was small but had a bathroom and the usual furniture.The heating/air con. was noisy but you soon get used to it.
    Only one thing was missing and that was tea/coffee machines in the room. That wasnt a problem as I never travel anywhere without my kettle.
    The Hotel is also very central for everything.
