Broadway Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Stephen

A hotel room with a large bed, a desk, a chair, a desk lamp, a mirror, and a window with curtains.

NobleDEN Hotel

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Really nice hotel with a pleasant roof terrace and great staff; the free coffee all day was a nice touch as were the free croissants first thing. Lots of interesting food options nearby - iconic dining at: The Roxy; Bubby’s and Katz Diner were all only a short walk away. There are good transport connections via the nearby subway station and it sits in a very friendly and safe neighbourhood on the border between Chinatown and Little Italy.

Gary

A modern interior with large windows, a city skyline view, and a seating area with sofas and tables.

Hyatt Centric Times Square New York

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Stones throw from Times Sq so perfect for a four day theatre visit. Had a 44th floor Deluxe King room, facing south, with a partial view of Times Sq. Huge windows made it bright all day, but there are effective blackout blinds at night and there’s virtually no noise. Pretty spacious for one, spotlessly clean, and the fridge for supplies rather than annoying mini bar gets a thumbs up from me. Nice big bathroom with good strong shower pressure, and - miracle of miracles - the aircon is simple to...

Carnegie Hotel

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

We truly dropped lucky when we booked The Carnegie Hotel, our first time in New York. On arrival we were greeted in a very friendly reception by Elijah and then by Alexandra who was a pleasure to chat to every day discussing all our adventures. The afternoon wine was always fun and the complimentary tea, coffee and snacks were a nice touch. The location is spot on. Central Park is less than 2 minutes walk, the subway is on the corner and Times Square is barely a 10 minute walk. We will be...

Darryl

Executive Hotel Le Soleil New York

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

We arrived a little after 3pm, and had a lovely greeting from staff, but our room wasn’t ready so we had to wait. We booked and paid through Expedia… an Empire via room with living space. Please note that the hotel does not offer this type of room. None of their Empire View rooms have the separate living room area. The Empire view rooms do give a great view of the Empire State Building but their ‘living room’ is a tiny space with a chaise and a TV. Management were excellent with us and moved us...

Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square Central

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

The hotel itself is clean and centrally located for NYC tourism in Times Sq. the staff are great, breakfast included was a good start to each day and the price we got through Expedia was a bargain. Be warned that there is a migrant shelter directly opposite the hotel which can be intimidating as large groups hang around outside - the hotel have a regular security guard and the NYPD are outside the shelter all the time.

Pod Times Square

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The location was great and ideal for getting around. The rooms were on the small side, but there was convenient storage space for luggage underneath the bed. The bathroom was excellent, with a lovely shower. The staff were very welcoming and friendly when we checked in. The hotel bar was also a real highlight – a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would happily recommend this hotel!

Pod 39

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at Pod 39 was very enjoyable. The hotel location is perfect. Quiet yet close to Grand Central, Chrysrel Building, Empire State and Times Square, lots of shop and eating out options nearby. The hotel itself is in good condition. Its highlight is the rooftop. In the morning the bar is closed but you can still go there and eat breakfast & enjoy the views. Downstairs they have another bar. In the morning there is a free coffee and tea and some breakfast options are available to buy like...
