If you've narrowed down your hotel choices and find the 'citizenM Times Square' on your short list... look no further. Seriously, disregard the others.
Here's a list of some of the reasons I gave this hotel 5*
- The styling of the whole building (lobby, rooms, bar) is beautifully modern.
- The whole hotel is kept really clean.
- VERY central location, literally less than 10mins away from everything (even for a tortoise like me!). Next to the corner of 50th and Broadway with a subway station literally right there.
- There are excellent amenities, including a rooftop bar, gym, ironing room and canteen.
- 24hr manned front desk/concierge who are always helpful and great to chat with.
- Super friendly and approachable staff.
- iPad in room to control everything. Such as; blinds, lights, climate, room cleaning.
Others have stated the rooms are quite small, I actually would disagree. I think for central NYC the rooms are actually quite generously sized, especially compared to the more budget option I stayed in previously. You also do get your own private en-suite bathroom (with a lovely shower!), which seems to be few and far between for hotels here.
If I can ever afford to go to New York again in the future I will absolutely have this hotel at the top of my list. I'm even considering on exclusively staying in citizenM hotels for any city breaks I have coming up in the UK. Genuinely so impressed!
