We loved the quietness of the location and the corner room with 3 windows, all with views. There were excellent restaurants on site and other eateries and markets within easy walking distance. Central Park was only a block a way. The concierge was very helpful. There was a nice roof-top garden. The room was small but, better than average by New York standards.

Helpful, friendly staff
Classic old Wales - have stayed here over many many years - stays the same - a good choice at under $280...crazy at over $300. Wonderful thoughtful staff, little brown rooms, and in my case this stay a twin bed I struggled to not fall out of - was it rounded a little or just very firm and I was not used to a twin bed? I like the Wales mainly for the Quiet and the neighborhood - good restaurant choices nearby - a small grocery store, book store, flower shop, home goods store - all within about a block. Sarabeths is great for all meals and you don't have to go outside!

The room we stayed in was clean, tidy and largely noise-free (especially at night). Beds comfortable and well-maintained, though the pillows are a little thin (depends on your personal preference though). The front desk staff tended to be a little cold in their interactions but polite. Room cleaning staff excellent and friendly. Good location, very reasonable hotel for the price. Biggest issue is that room keys/cards seemed to fail frequently, we had to get them reset multiple times during our one-week stay. No real explanation was given for the failure but staff seemed to be aware that it was a consistent problem. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would stay here again.

Please book me in higher room floors, those that have been completely renovated. My room was halfway done, in the closet, the wall needs repair, and wallpaper is partially torn. The room needs to be cleaned - possible mold spores in air conditioning vents, as my eyes kept itching until I got out of the room. Nice mezzanine and rooftop needs better upkeep.

The hotel itself was ok. Super friendly staff. The room was big and comfy. The bathroom however had a funny smell and the shower had black mold in many areas and smelt of mold. I had to keep the bathroom door closed to avoid the smell coming into the room. One of the televisions didn’t work. We got 1 channel on it while the tv that the kids had in the sofa bed room was all channels.

Great boutique hotel. Clean and tidy. Very accessible with highly professional and courteous staff that rivals the best in the city. EVERY staff member was always kind and patient and went above and beyond at every instance. So very welcome to help quell any travel anxieties. It is a relief to explore the city and know that all is in order at the hotel. Valet parking was easy and they even held our luggage while we explored nearby shops, restaurants and Central Park. Plenty to eat and drink close by and nice rooftop views from their terrace above. Can's say enough good about this location and staff. Hope they don't ever close it!

Good Evening Nancy, Thank you for the feedback from the recent say you had with us here at the hotel. We do appreciate hearing from you so thank you for your comments. We are sorry you did not like our older hotel that was opened in 1901 and has the "Old World" style look that does include window AC's and radiator heat in the Winter. We would say the hotel is very clean and we have the highest cleanliness scores for hotels in the neighborhood. We do provide 24 hour coffee/ tea service in our Carnegie Lounge but we do have upon request, Keurig makers so we are sorry that you did not know that. Please let us know if we can have another opportunity to upgrade you on your next visit to our area so we can show you our true hospitality. Thank you and all the best. The Hotel Wales Team
