Best hotels & accommodations in Times Square

Very affordable compared to other accommodation in similar location. Location great as it is in close walking distance to Penn Station. Able to catch train from Newark Airport to Penn Station with ease. Hotel foyer is fancy. Staff are friendly. Room looked nice and as advertised. Adequate size room. Those that have remarked on the hotel looking tired are forgett...

Despite the high price, it was a good hotel to visit Times Square. It's a good location for a hotel. Amazing bed and room design. Hotel rooftop bar is spectacular, but sadly our teenage children are unable to dine as there is an age limit of 21+ years required to eat at the bar's restaurant. We have a mishap of the housecleaning staff not cleaning our hotel room for tw...

Yotel wad the perfect stay for my 8 year old and I! We had a standard queen room - so it was a great, quaint size for us. We spent minimal time in the room so it worked well. We used the kiosk for checkin and paid the $20 early checkin fee (checked in around 1130a). We did eat at Green Fig one night for dessert - it was reasonably priced! We also did their breakfast bu...

The Row Hotel has a great location in NY. Is located in the Time Square where there are many tourist attractions, restaurants, shops etc. It is about 15 minutes walk from Macy's. The end point of the bus to go to the Outlet Jerseys Garden is a 5 minute walk. Metro station is practically on the doorstep of the Hotel. It is near the main sights, including the stop point ...

We booked the petite room for one night, and since we booked the room in a last minute with much much cheaper price than we've expected, to be honest, we didn't really expect much (Especially because hotel was in such an useful location). But it was just GORGEOUS!! They kept our bags in the morning before we check-in, and when we came back there to properly check-in, ...

Went for a vacation with my husband from March 29-April 6,2019.....enjoyed our stay at this hotel,it’s only 3 minutes walk to times square...subway close by...all staff are very friendly and easy to deal with...arrived early like around 11 am and Joe the manager,allowed us to check in early free of charge...rooms are very clean specially the bathroom...kinda hesitant t...

Embassy suites are always a good deal and this hotel is no exception. Super friendly staff who went out of their way to help us! The rooms are small so be aware of that going in. We had a reg suite for three people and at times we felt we were in top of each other but the bed was comfortable and the room dark! Just be aware that because this is an embassy suites hote...

This hotel was in a great location right next door to 'The Book of Mormon' everything about this hotel was great. We didn't ever eat there but the coffee was good. Doormen were lovely and helpful. Only thing to note is be careful on your departure as we nearly got charged $130 for 'facilities fee' which including breakfast and cheese and wine that we never had!!! - Lu...

Excellent location for visiting New York. Staff super friendly and helpful. Very clean hotel and the bedrooms were sound proof you would not think you were in Times Square!!!! Bar and restaurant pricey as we had 3 children with us but we found Connolly's Irish Restaurant and Bar nearby amazing value with fantastic food and staff.

We stayed over the weekend (3 days 2 nights) at NYC & the hotel is right next to Port Authority terminal/metro in Times Square district. Easy to take the bus to & fro airport and walking distance to Broadway, shopping & restaurants. Excellent location, excellent service by receptionists and Peter, the concierge. Room was spacious, comfortable & clean. Lift works qu...

The best thing about the hotel is that they have the best group of staff at the front desk. Helpful and very friendly (especially Bogdan). The room is small (just like any other hotel in new york) and cleanliness was only ok. Overall the ambience of the room was not very pleasant but the staff made up for it. So if you’re looking for a hotel in times square area, you ...

If you're staying in the Times Square Area of NYC, this hotel is a great option. The lobby is fresh and clean and the rooms are clean and decent for this caliber hotel. They are sound proof and pretty large for a standard NYC room. There is a restaurant downstairs, which we didn't use, but it looked clean. The best aspects of this hotel are the location right at 8th...

Fabulous location virtually in Times Square/Broadway. Well-appointed room. The only complaint is that I could just not get thru to reception by phone from the room and had to go thru the operator. there was one Reception person, Mr, Tex, who was unfriendly and close to being rude

I was very happy that my room was upgrade. I was received by the warmth welcome from Mr Mamuka and Miss Isha Jihan and I just feel that Paramount Hotel is my second home. Mr Mamuka remembered me that I ever stay at the hotel before. Miss Jennifer and Miss Janet are marvelous too and helpful. In fact all the staffs in Paramount Hotel are friendly and cooperative....

it is not cheap.. but what is cheap in NY??? perfectly located in Times Square, on the side of Port Authority so super central, the views from the bar are breathtaking, not that dissimilar from top of the rock... the hotel is beautful, facilities are classic Hilton top notch.. cannot go wrong if you book this!!

This was one of the cheaper options in Times Square so I wasn't expecting a lot but was pleasantly surprised. The location is good, it is tucked down a little side street and theres not much of a view but it is walking distance to Times Square, Madison Square Garden and loads of shops and restaurants. The service is great, the guys behind the desk were always very frie...

Awesome room size for New York, great location for theatre goers, and whilst close to Times Square if that's what you want, far enough away to avoid. Very disappointed with the supposedly "heavenly" bath. I'm 5'7 and had more of me out of the water than in, which was the whole reason I booked this hotel (room 4430).

The room was quite specious for a hotel in Time Square area. Rather thin wall with comfortable bed, and very clean small bathroom. The room comes with built-in kitchenette with kitchenware.....but hardly used for few days stay. The hotel is very close to the Big Bus tour stop and 49th st subway station. There are many eating places nearby. Overall,a pleasant stay in Ne...

This is our second stay at the Sofitel New York and it was just as good as the first time we stayed there. I would recommend the hotel to individuals and families. The location is perfect for shoppers and close to all major attractions i.e. Theatre and Times Square. It will be my first choice when we return to New York.

This hotel is perfect for a stay in NYC. The location is hard to beat - close to the main subway stations that will take you pretty much anywhere, plus it's close to Times Square and Herald Square. The room (2 queen beds for 4 people) is quite tiny, so be ready for that. If you're there for a short stay, it's perfectly fine, but if you're planning a longer stay (1 w...

My boyfriend and I spent a very great time in this hotel. Indeed our room were at the last floor (ask for the 15th I think) and we've got an amazing view on NYC and skycrasper !! It was so nice ! Room are not so big but enought for us, very clean and confortable. TV with a large pannel of channel, WIFI included and staff was such friendly. They helped us each time we n...

Good location, friendly helpful staff, easy check in and out, parking garage right down the street, close to Madison Square Garden, Empire State Bldg. Only negative - I booked two rooms one with a terrace months prior to our being there. Day we arrived they said they didn't have the terrace room available any longer and had to give me another room. The room was fine...

For our staycation in the city we were seeing a show and having dinner near the theater. We were expecting a snowstorm that night so we wanted something close, clean and at a good price. To be honest I was a bit nervous staying at a hotel in TImes Square. just based on the sheer volume of people those hotels must accommodate but I was pleasantly surprised. It was clean...

Excellent, excellent, excellent location in Times Square. Very accessible to subway, Hop-on hop-off tours. Easy to locate after walking around the area- just look for the large Madam Tussauds sign. Port Authority Bus Terminal is a stone's throw away, very convenient for those planning to take the bus for shopping at Woodbury Common outlets. For night owls- We enjoye...

Great experience at Cambria in Time Square- very nice helpful staff- and great location literally close to the biggest attractions in Time Square and a easy walk to the Subway. There was even a Starbucks right across the street- very convenient! Will stay here again!

I enjoyed my stay at TRYP. The best thing... Location! You walk out the front door and 50 meters away is Times Square and all the joys it has to offer. Cafe's, restaurants, bars and sightseeing. To think you're so close yet don't pay anything like the prices to stay in the square was a pleasant surprise. The hotel was undergoing a refurbishment at the time I stayed, ho...
Cheapest hotels in Times Square

We spent a week n this modest but cimfortablel hotel. It is an older hotel but it is very clean. The rooms are not big but this is New York. The staff were friendly and obliging. Yaw in particular with his lovely smile went out his way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. All the staff whether is was the housekeeping or the general staff, NEVER failed to smile and g...

I booked a single room with shared bathroom and I was worried if it would be noisy during night and dirty restroom but NO. It's very quiet during night and I had a good sleep in the most business city in the world. The restroom is also clean and no smell, it's like I have my own restroom. The hotel staff were doing good. I recommend this hotel for those want to visit ...

El hotel está situado justo a lado del Rockefeller Center y a un par de pasos de la 5ta avenida. Times Square queda a 10 minutos caminando. La ubicación está súper bien. El personal del hotel muy amable y las habitaciones bastante limpias. En cada piso hay botellas de plástico vacías para que las rellenes con agua purificada. El único inconveniente que tuvimos fue c...

like everyone said, is a small hotel but CLEAN and VERY GOOD LOCATION, No complaints for small as this is Centrally located. After Broadway Show at TIMES SQUARE, we just WALK back to our hotel. If you try to save money and stay near airport, the roundtrip bus fare is $28 and if there are 2 of us, I suggest you stay in this hotel, you SAVE time and the total cost is abo...

the hotel was good, as and very friendly staff, however there are a couple of things that were a bit annoying, 1) the elevator was always full, we had to wait up to 3 elevators to pass (we were in the 27th floor with young kids so no way taking the stairs) and one time we had to wait 15 minutes to get the elevator, 2) there was a particular musty smell in our room, the...

The room was comfortable and modern. The elevators were small and old, so one has to plan ahead if leaving during check-out time. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and didn't keep asking for tips the way other Time Square hotels' staff members did. The lobby has free-flowing coffee and water - extremely welcome in NYC! There are also restrooms for hotel guests ...

The air train from JFK to Jamaica followed by the LIRR train to Penn Station took 40 minutes and was really straightforward. The location of this hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Penn Station making it an excellent place to stay. The hotel is a short walking distance from the Broadway, Empire State Building, Macy's and Times Square, and is within easy reach of the ...

Start by saying the kids loved this hotel. Really cute from the outside, the room was small but totally functional and modern. The rooms had Kindles at each bed which was fun and modern and cool - kids loved it and it made researching food/entertainment/maps much easier and faster. Clean and pleasant all around and our room had a great view over towards (not into) T...

I booked through a flash deal so got a very good price. The hotel is quirky and pineapple themed! The room was a little on the small side, however they had done their best to maximise the space available. Big TV screen, very good shower, super-comfortable bed with good quality linen, duvets and pillows, safety deposit box, and very quiet (my room wasn't overlooking th...

We were not aware of the tremendous construction going on between the hotel and the Jarvis Center. The noise from the construction site was unbearable during the work day and then subsided at the end of the work day. We had a complete reprieve on Sunday which was appreciated so much. As you can tell from my ratings there are two distinct opinions about the hotel and wh...

If its the bright lights and broadway shows tha brings you to the big apple, nothing beats this hotel in terms of location. As they say, location is everything and this hotel is in the thick of it. Watch a Broadway show every night and never have to give walking back to your hotel late at night a second thought because the theatres are never more than a couple of stre...

We had a great time at this hotel. Breakfast and dinner was included which meant we didn’t have to go out looking for places to eat. The staff was great, very polite, helpful and always there when you needed them. The rooms was nice with a great view. The location of theis hotel is great a 2 minute walk to Time Square which was great didn’t really use any cabs as we ha...

Our third or maybe fourth time in a row staying here when visiting New York. The location's terrific, with the heart of both Times Square and the subway just a 5 or 10-minute walk way (a couple blocks). Rooms and beds are comfortable and everything works and is always clean. The staff has always been friendly and quite helpful with everything from room arrangements ...

Had a great stay here, and would certainly book here again. The hotel was near Penn station for trains, and Port Authority for buses, and a reasonable walk from Times square and broadway. The staff were helpful and genuinely friendly, and the room was a decent size while clean and freshly made daily. We didn't eat at the hotel as there was plenty of choice in the area....

We stayed at Element Times square for 8 nights. The Room is very comfortable and a reasonable sized for rooms in NY. The kitchenette came in handy for preparing snacks and storing drinks etc The bathroom is modern and a good size with a very spacious shower. We stayed on the 28th floor and my concern at first was the elevator. From previous reviews everyone had...

The hotel was exceptional. The seafood bar/restaurant Legasea was awesome, my friend and I had some lovely drinks and happy hour oyster snacks. Location was great - a few blocks down from times square made it quiet enough to get a good night's sleep but close enough to the action. There was a shake shack down the block and diners that served good pancakes in the area. ...

The staff were professional and kind, always ready to help and give directions. The room was small, not even enough space for a dresser, but what else can you expect when you're in Times Square? The shelf space and hangers provided were a simple enough solution to the problem as well. Our room was well cleaned every day, and the AC was perfect for dealing with the heat...

The location of the hotel is perfect!!! You literally step out the door... Make a left walk to the end of the block and bam! You are in Time Square, I loved it. The staff always wore a genuine smile and bent over backwards to help me and other guests. The day I arrived there was a huge group (HUGE) from Europe checking in, I was overwhelmed just looking at it but the s...

My stay was very pleasant!, a great location in Time Square, the hotel staff were SUPER friendly and helpful!. I really loved the design of this place it was very NYC, the price was what it was but worth it, I read some bad comments about the size of the room etc. but me being a world traveler for work and pleasure I can say this room had plenty of room for me and was ...

This nice hotel is located in the heart of Manhattan, between the 5th and the 6th just around the corner from the Empire State building and a stone throw away from the big Macy's , Times Square and Broadway. All the major tourist attractions are either nearby or easy to reach as the subway station is just a minute walk from the hotel. The staff at the hotel is very f...

Highly reccomended! Lovely hotel right in Times square but again away from the hustle and bustle . Lovely complimentary breakfast , the free vening cheese and wine buffet was a nice gesture and gave guests a chance to meet other guests staying at the hotel. Location is ideal fo midtown, downtown and uptown attractions! Lovely rooms and adequate size for NYC.Would defi...

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel and were impressed right from the start. Firstly, the check-in was simple and quick, and our room was ample for our needs. Really liked the free high-speed Internet connection, and the store cupboard stocked with everything we might need for our stay, from extra pillows, iron, to extra tea/coffee. The girl at the check-in booth was alw...

The hotel is situated just a short walk away from Times Square and the 5th Avenue. I was first greeted with a bunch of friendly staff who would help you with the door and explain any complications you may have. The lobby was always busy and you wouldn't seem alone in the city. Although the room was a bit too small for an overseas traveler, the bed was comfortable and w...

With 4 NYC hotels under my belt in the same trip, Iroquois far exceeds my expectations and in my opinion, is the choice hotel for me when I visit NYC again! When I was comfortably snuggled in bed, it engulfed me and hence I spent a lot of time sleeping and having a good rest during my stay! There are so many TV channels to select from and I was spoilt for choice. T...

Stayed 2 nights in Algonquin Hotel. Great location on 44th between 5th and 6th Avenues and 5 minutes from Grand Central. Staff are extremely helpful and only too pleased to assist. Rooms are a little on the small side but standard for New York. Hotel food and bar were both good. Would stay here again.

Pro was a clean good location in the middle of everything but quiet in the room- nice food on mezzanine- however- you pay for xtra for the food in mezzanine (25 dollars for breakfast and wine and cheese) and this is mandatory and NOT included in the price agora quotes with the taxes and fees (sneaky) and agoda let me book a room for two adults and a teenager-there are ...

Excellent location for visiting New York. Staff super friendly and helpful. Very clean hotel and the bedrooms were sound proof you would not think you were in Times Square!!!!

I just got back from a 7-night stay in The Michelangelo Hotel near Times Square. I was initially assigned a room with a heavy smoking smell that’s why I requested to be transferred. Since the hotel was full, I was only allowed to transfer the next day. The staff were very accommodating through the whole process. From disappointment, I was very happy with the replacemen...

We were staying night before macy's parade and we like to stay in times square. Only downside was when we arrived the room was very hot and even with the heat turned down we had to open the window to cool it down. Otherwise the stay was great. Staff even gave us "grandstand tickets" to the parade as we checked out - even though we didn't end up using them we watched th...

This is a nice boutique hotel in an excellent location in midtown for many of the tourist attractions. An easy walk to Central Park, Times Square and Rockefeller Plaza. Good subway access. The staff were super helpful and friendly at all times. The rooftop bar is lovely but is very much a tourist conveyer belt, especially at the weekend. We also ate and drank in Parker...

Very good service and check in information. The room was very well presented and furnished, but a little small and had no view at all, which was a shame when we were right on Times Square. There was some confusion regarding breakfast as it was included on our Agoda booking but this hadn't been passed onto the hotel. We were eventually given coffee, juice and some pa...

More about Times Square
A short walk away, Carnegie Hall is one of the most prestigious venues in the world for classical and popular music. "The World's Largest Store", Macy’s, covers an entire city block. The area offers a diverse range of museums, from the New York City Police Museum and Museum of American Finance to the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the National Museum of the American Indian. The Skyscraper Museum tells the epic story of the city’s construction.
Times Square has its share of chain restaurants, but there are a number of superior dining options away from Times Square proper. The area is most enchanting at night, when its many screens are ablaze with color. The Times Square Information Center on 7th Avenue (between 46th and 47th Streets) has multilingual tourist counselors, free maps and brochures, tickets for Broadway shows and sightseeing tours. Also on 47th Street, the TKTS Booth sells discounted tickets for Broadway and off-Broadway shows. A glass staircase at the back of the booth offers an excellent vantage point to watch the crowds and flashing signs.
The Times Square-42nd St. subway station is one of the major public transit hubs, and the main long distance bus station (the Port Authority Bus Terminal) is a short walk away. While walking is regarded as the best way to see the rest of the city, taxis are available from Times Square day and night.
