Bentley Hotel - New York New York!!!!

Advantages: Clean, nice rooms - amazing views from roof top balcony
Disadvantages: 24 Hour coffee bar was actually a vending machine!!

...My lovely husband booked a short stay in New York for my ?surprise? 30th birthday. This was in 2002 and we went there at the beginning of October of that year. Just as a side note before I start the review of the hotel, the weather was fantastic and for much of the time we went out regularly in T-shirts. Anyway we stayed at The Bentley Hotel for the whole of our stay and overall we were impressed and enjoyed our time there. **ABOUT THE HOTEL** The Bentley is a 3 star hotel which was built in 1904 and last renovated in 2002, however I have a feeling some renovation may be going on now as the roof top restaurant has been closed until further notice. It has 197 rooms in total, which range in quality depending on which sort you book. We had a regular room but found this to be very satisfactory. There was plenty of room from...

Review of Bentley Hotel, New York City

A hotel in the heart of New York City

Advantages: Great Location, Clean and Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: Views from hotel itself not great, no free wi fi

...My boyfriend turned 30 a few weeks ago and for his present I booked us a trip to New York and the Wellington Hotel is where I picked for us to stay due to its central location in Manhattan. Last Wednesday we flew out to NYC and checked into the Wellington. If you didn't know already this is where part of the Borat film was made, the main scene being where he tries to unpack his things in the lift thinking its his room and so many Borat jokes ensued in the elevators during our stay. The location of the hotel is amazing, its a 1 minute walk from Carnegie Hall, 2 minutes from Central Park and 5 minutes from Times Square and is located on the corner of 55th Street and 7th Avenue. The placement of the hotel was my favourite thing about it as it was just so easy to walk to some of the city's best attractions from here. When we checked in...

Hudson Hotel, New York

Advantages: Great bars, good standard of customer care
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...My husband and I stayed a the Hudson during September 2008, on my first trip to the states. We were away for 2 weeks, of which 5 nights were spent at the Hudson. This meant that we could compare this hotel to several others in the US, including one other in New York. Generally, the Hudson came out of this very well! We booked the Hudson online, through hotels.com, a procedure which was nice and simple and allowed us to look at several different hotels before making our choice. We were initially attracted to the Hudson because of it's easily accessible location and because the pictures we found on the internet made it look unlike anywhere we had stayed before! The hotel is extremely image conscious, the website gave lots of information about the designer (Philippe Starck), loads of pictures and presented the hotel as a "cool...

Edison hotel New York

Advantages: Rooms are spacious, clean, fresh and everyone is so friendly.
Disadvantages: No disadvantges, loved this place.

...I visited this hotel with my school in February 2007 and there was a group of 40 with 5 teachers. The group included boys and girls, there were very welcoming when we arrived after a long flight from England and getting up a 4.30. They allowed us up to our rooms, which where very spacious and comfortable. They had big double beds, which could have easily have fitted three people in. The bathroom was spacious and clean with lovley hot water for when we took a shower in the morning and after a long weary day. They provided us with big white fluffy towels to use after our bath and shower and layed out complimenatry gifts for us to use. The hotel is just round the corner from Times Square which is buzzing all the time with the bright lights. I recommend you visit this hotel, with its friendly staff and comfortable beds....

Review of Edison Hotel, New York City

Fab priced hotel in the thick of New York City!

Advantages: Cheap, right by Times Square, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Rooms may be too small for some fussy travellers!

...When I was booking a holiday for my partner and I to go to New York, I did a lot of research about hotels, locations, sight-seeing spots etc and then tried to find the best one out of a huge list I made. I didn't want to pay a lot for the hotel because I knew we wouldn't be in it much, and when I saw the Best Western name, I thought it would be a good idea to stick with what I know! So I booked 4 nights in this hotel in December 2005, my second trip to the fantastic NYC. We easily got a transfer from the airport, and gave the driver the address which I had printed out before we left the UK. We speedily set off into the manic NYC traffic in our little yellow cab, and were there within about 1 hour, not bad considering the traffic! The hotel had a nice frontage, it was all gold, had loads of Christmas lights and little Christmas trees...

Review of Best Western President Hotel, New York City

In The Middle Of It All

Advantages: Great rooms, Great Service, Great Internet Access, Great Breakfast
Disadvantages: Noisy rooms, No free food/drink in the rooms

...Back when we finally decided to book our trip to New York for my 18th, I decided, for once actually being smart, to have a look on the internet and look at reviews on hotels in New York. Due to the fact that the flight would be very expensive, we had to get the cheapest of the cheap really to make sure that we still had money to spend when I got there. On Virgin Atlantic?s website we saw that they had quite cheap (well for New York) inclusive packs for one hotel, this hotel was called Hotel Metro. I had a look and made sure that this was a good hotel before allowing my mum to book the holiday, it was within our budget and actually it had the best reviews on tripadvisor.com out of all of the hotels I looked at in New York City. Sure it had some problems and some people hated it, but we were crossing our fingers with wouldn?t be in...

Edison Hotel, New York City (MY PARADISE)

Advantages: 5* Rooms,Dining,Service..
Disadvantages: None at all To Be Honest.

...The Edison Hotel, New York City: Built in 1931 This glorious hotel is located at 228 West 47th Street. Here I will write up a short review upon my experience in the hotel last year. Location: as previously mentioned situated in one of the most dynamic sections of New York City 228 West 47th Street, Directly in the middle of New York which means little walking distance to wherever you may want to venture. Rooms: Depending on what type of accomodation you are looking for, the Edison will be sure offer it to you. Personally our room was slightly better than standard due to us being on a work trip. Anyway we had two people per room, a king sized bed each, a mini fridge which was stocked up 2 times a day, lovely carpeted floors, TV (Full channel), Chairs, Lamps, Pictures, and best of all a laptop and access to the internet (Provided...

Disney's Hotel New York meets the big apple

Advantages: Great location and size
Disadvantages: Can be expensive!

...Hotel New York, Disneyland Paris The Disneyland Paris resort offers a number of hotel lodging options including the Davy Crocket Campsite, two value resorts (Hotel Santa Fe and the Hotel Cheyenne), 2 moderate resorts (Sequoia Lodge and the New Port Bay Club) as well as two premier hotels: the Hotel New York and the Disneyland Resort Hotel. I have been to Disneyland Paris on several occasions since the resort opened in 1992 and have stayed in 4 of the 6 hotels and my continued favourite for size, service and ease of access has always been the Hotel New York in recent years. How to book? There are many ways that you can book a holiday to Disneyland Paris but the most common way from the UK is a package deal that includes accommodation (room), breakfast and park passes for the two Disney theme parks (Magic Kingdom and Disney...

Review of Hotel New York, Disneyland Paris, Paris

The Wellington The Hotel That Never Sleeps

Advantages: good convinient location, exceptionally clean, very good price
Disadvantages: A bit dated, very busy, staff are not always available

...Most people know New York City as the city that never sleeps or the big apple. Whatever you name New York City it is the largest city in America and has much to offer visitors all around the world. Traveling to New York gave me the opportunity to explore this wonderful City. There is so much to do and see that I was never bored. Travelling through New York is easy as most places are within walking distance and if not you can get a tube or bus. There are many hotels to choose from and finding the right one can be a difficult choice. We chose The Wellington Hotel. I thought it was the right decision when I booked it and as soon as I saw the hotel I knew I had made the right decision. The outside of the hotel looks impressive and you can see the lights from Times Square which is really cosy and inviting. Walking through the reception...

Hilton Hotel - York

Advantages: Excellent location
Disadvantages: Weird car-park

...would go about getting out! We did have to leave the keys on reception (so they could move the car if required - which they did as it wasn't in the same place when we returned). For us the car park wasn't too much of a problem as we didn't use the car for the break, however it was hard work getting in the small space! Staff were friendly on arrival and we were seen to our room quickly. Location The hotel is ideally located in the centre of York. It is right near the York Dungeons, only 10minutes walk from York Minster. We visited most of the main areas of interest on York and everywhere was close to the hotel. Because we came at Christmas we were also right near a temporary ice rink, which was situated only a few minutes from the hotel. The Room We were pleased with the room which was spacious, modern and clean. The room consisted...
