Outstanding atmosphere and staff, rooms are super efficient, a little bit like a cruise ship cabin, but I loved that. Will come back for sure. I love the style and value for the money.

This is the idea hotel for a stay in NYC. Perfect location, just off Times Square, so you’re away from the crowds and constant noise, but still close enough to all the midtown attractions. 10 minute walk to Rockefeller, easy walk to Central Park, MSG and subways to anywhere else you want to go. The rooms are small by design, but perfectly laid out, with a place for everything so they don’t actually feel small. 2 closets, plenty of storage, a huge drawer. Giant, comfortable oversized king bed with comfy pillows and snuggly duvet. Big window overlooking the city. As with a lot of NY hotels, the bathroom is basically just sectioned off in the main room, but still has a as surprising amount of privacy. Lights, climate, blinds, tv, and housekeeping are all controlled by an iPad in the room connected to your account. You can choose how often you want housekeeping, daily or less often. Love the contactless aspect. The lobby, living room, bar and outdoor area are all beautifully decorated and fun to hang out in. We unfortunately didn’t visit the bar on the upper floor. I’m sure it’s amazing. Great breakfast in the morning. Check-in is all self-serve, which I loved. Super easy, and it gave us the option of which room we wanted (high or low floor, type of view, etc.). There is a staff member at the check in desks at all times for those who might not be as comfortable with self check in. Zero complaints about the hotel or our stay! Can’t wait to come back!

Hello Angel, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us! I truly apologize that your experience staying with us in Times Square wasn't the same quality as in Amsterdam. I will share this with our team so we be sure to look at ways to improve. Currently our opt-in housekeeping program has automatic service on the third night of stay and you can request it daily on the iPad in your room the day before if you would like it before then. I will be sure that our team is discussing this with our guests at check-in. This should also be shown on the iPad in your guest room when you check-in as well. Thank you, again, for taking the time to share this feedback. I hope that you will come back and visit us in the future so we can show you the high level of service and care we are known for. Best, Olivia

For the cost this hotel is great! The rooms are small and we had a few issues with the technology in the room. On the positive side, every staff member we interacted with was helpful and kind. The common spaces in the hotel are wonderful and the breakfast a nice add on for one morning. The location is also amazing, you walk right out the hotel doors and there’s a subway entrance right there to use to get to the rest of the city. Overall we would stay here again!

Nice entrance. Check-in and -out are self-serve. Room typically small for NYC, but well organized. One must request room service on the ipad controller. When I did, the crew showed up before 9--too early. Breakfast is good. They need to work on quality of scrambled eggs and potatoes. Nice coffee service for anyone who wants more than regular coffee. Location is excellent for a Broadway trip.

CitizenM is an average hotel in an above average city. Rooms were VERY small. Smaller than a cruise ship cabin and minimally appointed. I had the necessities but nothing more. Although they appeared very clean.

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!

The location was in a good area. It was a few mins walk from Time Square and has quite a few food options nearby. Train stations were nearby and it took around 40 mins from LGA airport. The room isn’t super big, but it was perfect for 2. It wasn’t super loud or noisy unless there was sirens. I would recommend this hotel especially at this price point. Efficient check in and out as well.

I didn’t like that they did construction on my floor at 6am which woke me everyday that I was there. I also did not like that my wrist was injured when there elevator door’s sensor did not stop the door from slamming into me. I tried stopping it but it just flew out and hit my wrist extremely hard. The area was decent. The room’s were very nice and clean. If you want a place that’s reasonably priced and centrally located to the theatre district then this is the place for you. Probably not the best for people who have families as the location didn’t feel the safest.

Hello Victor, Thank you for sharing this important feedback with us. I truly apologize for the disturbance related to the remediation project happening at the hotel. This was unfortunately an unplanned project we needed to complete quickly due to damage done in one guest room that affected multiple. The necessity of timeliness made it difficult to keep away from all of our guests and I am very sorry for the disturbance caused by this. Please know that I have discussed the incident you mention here regarding the elevator door as well. We perform continual maintenance to our elevators to be sure that they are operating correctly. The experience you describe here is certainly not the desired guest experience we are striving for and I hope you will give us another try in the future so we can show you the high level of service and care we are known for. I wish you happy travels always!Best, Olivia

Location was great, right by Times Square and across the street from Wicked on broadway. There were several subway stations a short walk away. The staff was excellent. The hotel had a cool art deco style decor and had a very modern feeling to it. The rooms were controlled through tablets, and had mood lights that you could control the color and brightness of. Smart TV to broadcast from my phone. Free WiFi. Only downside was the rooms being really small. The bed took up most of the space. The shower in the bathroom was large and was one of the fancy rainwater shower heads, really nice. But the bathroom itself was really small. Skin was outside of the bathroom, and there wasn’t even a mirror in the bathroom. Overall the place was excellent, just wish the rooms were larger or better arranged to allow my space.

Went here with high hopes because of the reviews. The location was great in proximity to theaters. Check in was fine, but it all ended there. The carpets in the hallways were filthy and did not get vacuumed during our entire stay. The room has areas of being dirty; a sticky substance on the remote, finger marks all over the shower. Everything is controlled by an iPad which at first seemed cool, until it didn’t work and lights were either off or bright as heck. The tv apps weren’t working either. It was all very frustrating. Housekeeping never came, even though we did not choose to bypass it. Overall, people were not that helpful or friendly. Will not go back.

Hello Alycia, Thank you for sending us this important feedback. Please know that I have already escalated this to our housekeeping supervisor so we can investigate what happened here. Cleanliness is extremely important to us and what you describe here is certainly not up to our standard. Currently you will receive housekeeping service automatically after the third night of your stay, if you would like it sooner than that, you can opt in on the iPad in your room the day before. I will be sure that our team is making our guests aware of this.I truly apologize that you did not have a good experience staying with us. I really do wish you will give us another chance in the future to show you how friendly and caring our team can be. I wish you safe and happy travels in the future. Best, Olivia
