The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Manhattan, just a short walk from Times Square, Broadway shows, and all the iconic sights. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and well-maintained, with spacious rooms that feel both luxurious and cozy. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly, efficient, and always ready to help. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this hotel offers excellent value and a truly memorable stay. I’ll definitely be returning.

The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection

Staying at The Algonquin Hotel Times Square was an absolute delight. It’s a small, intimate hotel with a unique charm and elegant details that make it stand out. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. The location is unbeatable: perfectly situated between Times Square and Fifth Avenue, making it easy to explore shopping, dining, and entertainment right outside the door.

Moxy NYC Times Square

Staying at Moxy NYC Times Square was a great experience overall. The rooms are definitely compact—smaller than a closet, which is pretty typical for Manhattan—but that’s just part of the New York reality. What stood out most was how fantastic the whole hotel smelled; it had a fresh, inviting ambiance right from the lobby. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything. One thing to avoid: the Margarita package offered through the platform felt unnecessary and overpriced—definitely not worth it. Also noticed the elevator touchscreens didn’t respond properly when touched, but that was a minor glitch. Despite those small issues, the location, vibe, and service made up for it. I’d absolutely stay here again if I’m back in NYC.

Even Hotel New York - Midtown East

New York definitely comes with a high price tag—just grabbing a quick bite near the hotel can cost you $30 or more. But Even Hotel New York - Midtown East makes up for it with its unbeatable location. Walking to Times Square or Broadway takes under 15 minutes, and the city lights at night are absolutely stunning. The towering skyscrapers and iconic smokestacks lining the streets give the whole area a unique, energetic vibe. Despite the pricey surroundings, this hotel offers great value and comfort. I was genuinely impressed by the convenience and atmosphere. If I ever return to New York, I’d definitely choose this hotel again.

The Box House Hotel

The Box House Hotel exceeded my expectations in nearly every way—except for the front desk staff, who could have been a bit more welcoming. Everything else was top-notch. The location is fantastic: just a short subway ride from downtown Manhattan, with plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. My room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with modern touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the air felt fresh and crisp throughout the stay. I especially appreciated the well-lit bathroom with strong shower pressure and smart storage solutions. Even though the check-in experience wasn’t as warm as I’d hoped, the overall quality of the hotel, the attention to detail, and the value for money made up for it completely. I’d definitely book here again when visiting New York.

Franklin Guesthouse

Staying at Franklin Guesthouse was an absolute delight! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the option to check in early (for a small fee), which made our arrival so much smoother. The room was spotlessly clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really stood out was how convenient the location is: just steps away from a cozy corner market where we picked up snacks and essentials. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including public transit that made exploring New York City a breeze. Honestly, I’d have given every category a perfect 5-star rating if it weren’t for the app glitching and automatically unchecking my selections. Despite that minor frustration, this place exceeded my expectations—great value, warm atmosphere, and a homey feel. Definitely planning to return.

Doubletree by Hilton New York Times Square West

Staying at the Doubletree by Hilton New York Times Square West was an absolute highlight of my trip! The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly—despite booking through a third-party platform, I still received all the Hilton Honors benefits including a room upgrade, bonus points, and complimentary drinks and snacks. That’s seriously impressive value. The hotel is perfectly located on a bustling street full of other hotels, just steps away from the main action in Times Square. Even late at night (after 10 PM), there were plenty of people around, and while I did see some unhoused individuals during the day, I never saw anything concerning—no scary encounters or safety issues. Overall, it felt secure and well-connected. One small note: there’s a nearby spice shop downstairs with strong aromas, but honestly, you get used to the bold flavors everywhere in NYC. It didn’t affect my stay at all. If you’re visiting New York, this hotel is definitely worth considering for its great location, excellent service, and fantastic perks.
