Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"beautifullll view. we stayed in the king bed times square view room and it was a dream. first time in new york and the hotel was great. the staff are super helpful and sweet. if you want to stay in times square this is the place"

Row NYC

8/10 Good

"We had a nice stay at a great price for Manhattan. Hotel is apparently recently reopened providing a good deal in midtown Manhattan while they are still fully getting everything up to speed (I.e. checkin on a Sunday afternoon took quite awhile with only two clerks handling everyone and one of those let herself be tied up for more than 30 minutes with someone who didn’t seem to have a proper reservation, but on the other hand checkout on Thursday morning was seamless and very quick, also New York had an unusual May heatwave during our stay and the AC in our first room didn’t work but they immediately switched us to a new larger room where the AC worked great for the balance of our stay.) Nice terraced lobby cafe/bar sitting area with views out on 8th Avenue."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Location was excellent but extremely busy by Times Square. Central for live theatre and Broadway.a very good.location. Housekeeping was ordinary and we did need to chase things up, we paid for 3 sharing but onky received twin top ups for towels and coffee etc. We returned one afternoon after lunch to find the staff had left our door unlocked. We did report this to reception staff. I will give our bed a comfort rating of 10/10, with an absolutely beautiful nights sleep."

Pod Times Square

8/10 Good

"Fast elevators - 6 of them so there was never a long wait. Room is small yet functional. Amazingly quiet considering the location right off of the Lincoln Tunnel. Could see the buses going in and out of Port Authority. Safe area with lots to do. My only complaint would be the lack of ventilation and weak A/C. The rooms are probably overdue for a renovation."
