Top Central Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely perfect hotel for a 4-day visit to New York with my 12-year-old daughter. The bunk pod room is tiny but had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the large window had a great view filled the room with natural light during the day. We loved buying our breakfast pastries in the cafe in the morning. The location was so convenient for sightseeing and also for catching the airport bus to Newark. We would stay again!"

Park Central Hotel New York

10/10 Excellent

"A comfortable stay..Thank you!!"

New York Marriott Marquis

10/10 Excellent

"I chose to stay at the Marriott Marquis as I was traveling alone, and it was very convenient to a number of the places I planned on visiting."

Hyatt Regency Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect about our stay. Fairly priced room vs the options in the area. Comfortable beds and finishings / amenities and a clean, nothing-missing bathroom. All staff friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Great location is what we paid for and it fit that bill 100%."

Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bed...OMG the bed is so comfortable after walking 12 hours your body melts into the bed"

The Manhattan Club

8/10 Good

"It was a really nice hotel. It was clean and close to Carnegie Hall which we were going to one night and close to Central Park and Columbus Square. We got in at 1:30 and our room wasn't ready. We had to bee in Brooklyn so they held our luggage for us and when we got back at 10pm we checked into our room. It had many amenities. The lounge was nice but bright and not intimate. The rooms were like tiny apartments. My only issue was with some of the bell men. We gave one guy $20 to hold our luggage and then bring it to our room when we could get in. He just took the money and passed off the work to other bellmen. The next morning we were ordering an lyft and he wanted us to take their driver which was $25 more than a lyft. I would stay there again if we were doing something in the city."

OYO Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great room friendly staff… only thing is house keeping came into our room 10:30 am when checkout was at 12 pm. They did it twice so be aware!"

The Plaza, A Fairmont Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best ever! Such a wonderful place! Will def stay again!"
