The Wales was perfect for a few days of museum going. It's about a 15 minute walk from the Metropolitan, but also walking distance from several other museums. It's also only 1 block from Central Park and a short walk to the Conservatory Garden. The rooms are small, but well-equipped and comfortable. Our standard room looked onto an air shaft,... More

Very nice upper east side boutique hotel with great customer service. Beds were very comfortable. On the second floor, they have coffee and tea at all times. Rooms are somewhat small, but they work. Overall, great hotel if you want to stay in the upper east side.

The Hotel Wales is like something from the past and somewhere in Europe. It is a very comfortable place with old-style attention to details down to the wooden slats in the window blinds.

I've got to say, on the surface this hotel is starting to look a little tired, but I was able to overlook that as everything else was amazing. The Wales is a charming old world hotel with loads of character and historical features. Our room had a sitting area as well which was very welcome at the end of a... More

We visit every summer and have stayed at many hotels in the area...W Hotel, Waldof, etc. I like to be within walking distance to my sister's apt since the kids stay with her and I like to get up early and join...
