    We stayed in the Aladdin themed room for our 11 year wedding anniversary ... The Alladin show is phenomenal and I was so excited and in awe of the beauty and the colors and the talent that I saw on the stage... Everything was clean organize, and due to it being our anniversary they sent us up a bottle of wine as a courtesy, which was amazing and a beautiful and tasty cheese plate with strawberries so many yummy goodies on there... After checking in and looking at the beautiful room, we decided to go down and grab a bite to eat in which we were provided with the Aladdin drinks, which were fancy with sparkles in it, and, the Aladdin genie lamp which was a nice touch ...

    ...The good stuff: The rooms here are quite large by NYC standards, and many have great views of either the Empire State Building or Times Square. My room on the 35th floor had a great Empire view... This hotel is also in a great location for Broadway theaters and other midtown attractions (but on the other hand, 42nd street is quite congested with tourists)... The bad: My room had a stale, musty smell, like maybe it had been smoked in sometime in the recent past, and some of the surfaces were quite dusty... This could be because I checked in early, so I got a room that hadn't been refreshed in a while?...

    We stayed in the Aladdin themed room for our 11 year wedding anniversary ... After all of that was squared away my husband and I went to the show because check-in wasn’t until four so we decided to do the early show Thry allowed us to leave our bags in the lobby until our room was ready... After the show, we went to our room and checked in, leveryone was very kind and excited that we were staying in the room as I was told we were only a few couples maybe two or three families that actually stayed in that room ,so they were really excited to have us there... I think after all the money spent in the room, possibly Crayola crayons in a little package would be better versus the crayons provide it because they weren’t even coloring on the paper... When we arrived to the room, you walk down the hallway and you start to see some beautiful photographs and pictures of Aladdin and the different artists and you open up the door , it’s like you’re transformed into a movie...

    ...I normally don’t stay in the Times Square area of NYC, but my son requested it for a birthday trip, so I booked an upgraded “Deluxe Times Square View” room for him. I checked in ahead on the Hilton app and was not allowed to pick a room, instead receiving a cheery message assuring me they would select a great room and attempt to upgrade me due to my Diamond status... This being a busy location, I didn’t expect an upgrade (especially since we needed two beds), but was very disappointed to end up being downgraded to a room that not only didn’t have the view I paid extra to have, but which shared a wall with the noisy elevator banks, subjecting us to the constant rumbling of the three elevators and disrupting our sleep... Further it was a handicapped accessible room as well, which meant an open shower with only a small low pressure hand wand (which made showering a chilly and tedious task) and all surface space being sacrificed for the open floor needed to navigate a wheelchair... I had read in the reviews that this location doesn’t do a good job of taking care of loyalty members, so I wasn’t surprised, but it was still very disappointing to not only pay for a room I didn’t receive, but to be placed one of the worst rooms this hotel has to offer... Aside from the issues, the room was otherwise clean and modern and in good condition, with comfortable beds and minimal noise from the streets...

O was expecting a completely renovated room and was a disappointed in the room...

    ...Lobby is on the 21st floor of the building, which means that most of the rooms are already pretty far away from the noise of the city. The room was large in comparison to what I found in other nearby hotels, and it seemed fairly modern and clean... It does seem a bit of a shame that for being closed for over two years, the pictures of the hotel pre covid appear to be the exact same layout of the rooms and lobby, which is unfortunate that they didn’t update them in that time, but this is of little concern, just an observation... The hotel room definitely is worth the price we paid... I was also told when checking in that a room on the 42nd floor was blocked out in the system for me to check into later in the day, but when we did check in, they put us instead in one on the 33rd floor... Not a big deal, but it was a bit frustrating and disappointing to not be in the room I was told...

    ...The continental breakfast is $18 before taxes and fees. You would think for a party of 2 breakfast may be worth it right?... At check out your reasonable continental breakfast costs you about $22 per person... You learn that just before they tell you about the $35 dollar a day resort fee that gets tacked onto the bill that you thought included all fees... I do not appreciate when a company tries to get you to figure out which cup the ball is under at check out time... I ended up paying significantly more overall than a stay at my favorite hotel would have cost me... This was due to Hilton's slight of hand/not obvious fees...

Management tends to leave canned “we’re so sorry we didn’t meet your expectations” responses, but they don’t seem to take the issues to heart or correct them (I’m sure nobody will offer to refund the up charge I paid, for example)... Many complain about the destination fee, but this is the norm in a big city and is reviewed at check in... The breakfast buffet is overpriced for what’s offered, but the lobby market has lots of continental breakfast selections (pastries, yogurt, fruit, egg sandwiches, coffee drinks, breakfast bars, etc)... We averaged about $30 a day for a reasonable breakfast (bagel, yogurt parfait, waters, coffees)...

    ...It’s a shame they rip you off for a measly $35 a day. When you check in they will tell you in addition to what you’ve paid per night there is a COMPULSORY $35 charge on top that you HAVE to spend in the hotel each day... If you don’t spend it in the hotel they charge you anyway... A bottle of water for example from the hotel is $7 which is x3 the price of everywhere else meaning not only are they ripping you off with the $35 they are ripping you off with the prices of what you can use the $35 on... Getting ripped off left a bad taste obviously and the drug dealing outside would make me avoid this hotel if I was staying in NYC again (20m either way there are no issues it’s literally just outside the hotel)...

The hotel is offering an $18 daily credit for breakfast but the breakfast buffet has 2 different prices: $18 for a continental cold option or $41 for everything both cold and hot options which include eggs or omelettes... Both me and my wife were offered the breakfast credit ($36.00) but we both wanted omelettes and pancakes so the bill for daily breakfast was a wooping $95-36=$59 with tip and tax included (Thanks Hilton!!!)...

    This hotel is totally focused on the $30 destination fee and that’s all the reception staff care about. They then send you a receipt at about 3am charging you the $30 and instead of crediting the $30 you spent which is supposed to be credited they charge it as well... I don’t really want to spend $30 in the hotel but the destination fee forces you to do that and I was charged a total of $60 destination fee for 2 nights... As stated this hotel only cares about credit cards and customer service is not a priority at this property...

I added a guest when checking in, and I was told by the front desk that I was able to receive $36 F&B credit per day ($18 per person) as a diamond member... However, at check out, I was told that only $18 credit could apply each day because my booking was for only one person (so why you told me $36 per day when check in?)... Most importantly, there was considerable confusion about the cold breakfast ($18 per person) and the hot breakfast ($40 per person)... No sign about the two lines of selection, and I actually asked about the difference twice, but still we "accidentally" picked the hot one with some oatmeal, and received a bill of over $100 with 18% gratitude automatically added... There is an Applebee downstairs with more reasonable and clearer pricing...

    ...I normally don’t stay in the Times Square area of NYC, but my son requested it for a birthday trip, so I booked an upgraded “Deluxe Times Square View” room for him. I checked in ahead on the Hilton app and was not allowed to pick a room, instead receiving a cheery message assuring me they would select a great room and attempt to upgrade me due to my Diamond status... I had read in the reviews that this location doesn’t do a good job of taking care of loyalty members, so I wasn’t surprised, but it was still very disappointing to not only pay for a room I didn’t receive, but to be placed one of the worst rooms this hotel has to offer... Management tends to leave canned “we’re so sorry we didn’t meet your expectations” responses, but they don’t seem to take the issues to heart or correct them (I’m sure nobody will offer to refund the up charge I paid, for example)... Six elevators means you rarely wait more than a minute or two, staff is friendly and efficient and there is daily housekeeping... This hotel handles it as a food & service credit you can use, which the vast majority of hotels do not, so that’s a plus... The breakfast buffet is overpriced for what’s offered, but the lobby market has lots of continental breakfast selections (pastries, yogurt, fruit, egg sandwiches, coffee drinks, breakfast bars, etc)...

While we interacted with him a couple of times he was particularly helpful in making sure we got to JFK in time for our flight and took care of us in what could have been a stressful situation... Additionally when we had checked with other bellman prior to leaving on best way to get to airport they responded taxi's are impossible to get and pushed for us to book their car service (I assume they must get commission)...

Every one of the staff members that we came into contact with were extremely friendly and helpful with a special mention of Raquel Woods, the front desk clerk, she was AWESOME... Raquel was a very pleasant start to our short visit, she was very personable and welcoming, it felt like and interaction between long time friends... She went over and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience and I am so thankful because that initial pleasant interaction set the tone for our trip 😊... Thanks to our amazing front desk clerk, Raquel, we got an Empire State view and I loved it...

Other than his lunch and breaks, he is there all day and remembers patrons by name... All staff have been wonderful but change as the day and night progresses...

    As a Hilton diamond members, my wife and I decided to stay at this hotel for our NYC New Year weekend. The hotel was extremely crowded we were not offered an upgraded room and although the room was clean and comfortable, the views from our room were a little dissapointing... The hotel is offering an $18 daily credit for breakfast but the breakfast buffet has 2 different prices: $18 for a continental cold option or $41 for everything both cold and hot options which include eggs or omelettes... Both me and my wife were offered the breakfast credit ($36.00) but we both wanted omelettes and pancakes so the bill for daily breakfast was a wooping $95-36=$59 with tip and tax included (Thanks Hilton!!!)...

    Stayed at the Hilton Times Sq.Hotel, nice hotel in times sq... No, their elevators are horrible, you have to take one up to the lobby then another one to your room, with 44 floors and only one elevator working what a long wait, one time they had 2 elevators working, we were on the 31st floor so we would go up to go down... Then when I checked out they gave me a bill for 80,00 for valet parking, I told them we didn’t have a car we can’t by Amtrak train, so they took it off my bill and I did get a receipt to that effect... Took the ferry over to Staten Island and you go by The Statute of Liberty and the Ferry went very slow so everyone could take photos... We had breakfast one morning at Ellen’s Stardust Diner, Broadway/51st street where the waitress sing and dance, a lot of them quit because they got a job on Broadway in theater, a nice place to go!...

The only thing holding me back from a 5 star review is that the staff weren’t anything above and beyond what you’d expect for base level service... They did their jobs, which is great, but the service just didn’t stand out compared to most hotels... I was also told when checking in that a room on the 42nd floor was blocked out in the system for me to check into later in the day, but when we did check in, they put us instead in one on the 33rd floor... All in all, solid hotel that I would definitely stay at again in NYC...

    We stayed in the Aladdin themed room for our 11 year wedding anniversary ... When we arrived it was not told by my husband that we had to call the valet when we arrived... After all of that was squared away my husband and I went to the show because check-in wasn’t until four so we decided to do the early show Thry allowed us to leave our bags in the lobby until our room was ready... I think after all the money spent in the room, possibly Crayola crayons in a little package would be better versus the crayons provide it because they weren’t even coloring on the paper... Everything was clean organize, and due to it being our anniversary they sent us up a bottle of wine as a courtesy, which was amazing and a beautiful and tasty cheese plate with strawberries so many yummy goodies on there... After checking in and looking at the beautiful room, we decided to go down and grab a bite to eat in which we were provided with the Aladdin drinks, which were fancy with sparkles in it, and, the Aladdin genie lamp which was a nice touch ... We enjoyed it and the breakfast the next day... I would definitely love to stay here again I had a wonderful experience in this hotel, and although we were in the middle of Times Square, you couldn’t hear anything , the views were amazing the food was amazing... The hospitality was phenomenal, and we will definitely love to stay here again...

    I normally don’t stay in the Times Square area of NYC, but my son requested it for a birthday trip, so I booked an upgraded “Deluxe Times Square View” room for him... Further it was a handicapped accessible room as well, which meant an open shower with only a small low pressure hand wand (which made showering a chilly and tedious task) and all surface space being sacrificed for the open floor needed to navigate a wheelchair... Aside from the issues, the room was otherwise clean and modern and in good condition, with comfortable beds and minimal noise from the streets... If you are doing all the usual touring, it’s a good base of operations, with most subway lines and many theaters and restaurants within a quick walk... Six elevators means you rarely wait more than a minute or two, staff is friendly and efficient and there is daily housekeeping... This hotel handles it as a food & service credit you can use, which the vast majority of hotels do not, so that’s a plus...

    My family and I stayed here after the new renovation. The hotel is centrally located in Times Square, just a short walk to many local attractions... The rooms are very large by NYC standards which is wonderful for a family... The rooms had comfortable bedding but after a major renovation, I felt like the rooms still looked worn or perhaps just only cosmetic upgrades were done... First, we were told by central reservations that we could have a rollaway bed so my teens didn’t have to share a bed... When I informed the front desk that we were able to get on an elevator that was not functioning properly, they didn’t seem to care one bit... These are the little things that set a great large chain hotel apart from one that needs a customer service overhaul...

I was very pleased with my stay at the Hilton Times Square. First off, the location is perfect, right off of Times Square as well as the subway connection there is perfect to be able to to anywhere in the city. So this hits all the points for location. Next, the Hotel rooms, spacious, well appointed and on floors 22 -44, so great views, particularly on the upper floors. I was on floor 36 with a great view south, Empire state building right outside my window. Staff, all great, respectful and were always glad to assist; great team. I was recognized as a Diamond member; check. The only downside was the price of a full breakfast; 50 USD (plus tax). that I find a bit pricey, but the only minus point. I fully recommend staying here.

Enjoyed the stay. Staying in Time Square is very much advised especially if you wanna feel the real spirit of NYC. The hotel staff was very jovial and respectful. The warm service of Ciro and Jose at the restaurant was one of a kind.

I would like to acknowledge the five stars service provided by the Runner Ciro Alarcon at our breakfasts during the whole week at this Hilton. He always guided us promptly to a good table and offered nice treats. That service is key for our return to this Hilton in the future.

The worst ever reception staff both day and night I have faced in my life. They were rude unhelpful & ignorant. The calls made multiple times from the room to the reception or any area of the hotel were never answered. The house keeping staff always forgot to clean the room although we inform at the reception.

Hilton times square is home away from home. Go for the high floors bedroom with south view, you won't regret it! But my favorite thing is the staff. Stefanie at the front desk, and of course Gazi and Francisco for the morning coffee and breakfast. Not mentioning the team at the bar, the cleaners. Everybody is amazing. Thank you!

Do you enjoy paying for random and hidden fee's or predatory pricing similar to those of ultra low cost, de-bundled style airlines? Come stay at the Hilton Times Square in NYC and enjoy $21 coffee!!! Four of us stayed at this Hilton for a single evening, sharing a room for a quick, impromptu trip to NYC from SoCal, having paid four hundred dollars for the single Tuesday evening. Across the dozens of Hilton properties across different states, countries and continents, this Hilton is a lot like the gum on your shoe. You don't see it, but once you step on it, you just got to deal with it. Let's start with the fee's. Some are published, most are not: - Early Check-In, $50 - Late Check-Out, $50 - Luggage Storage, $5 per bag each time. - $35, per day, per room charge/fee but you can then use it in their on-site store, bar or restaurant. Read more below cause $35 here won't get you far. Having woken up the following morning, we got a later check out time and headed downstairs from our room to see about breakfast. Soon as we opened the room door, there was room-service inquiring if we were checking out. This was the second time already this morning they inquired, the first being much earlier when one of us was taking a shower and others still laying down. Like my goodness! I've never had staff want you out of a place even if the power went out. When we got back to our room, the room service staff were working on other rooms, but as soon as we gathered our stuff to head out all together, they weren't far behind to tackle our room. (Couldn't be that much of a demand for our room on Wednesday, nothing going on and not many people in the hotel ever during our time.) Never was there a smile, hi, hello, thanks. Just, you leaving now!? Breakfast buffet ...oh the buffet! STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAGIC SHOW! Full of lie's, deceit, trickery and slide of hand! (Pictures for a few references.) We arrived at the restaurant / buffet host desk adjacent to the bar, waited a few and were sat down with a choice between a booth or a table and chairs and quickly asked if we wanted coffee to which we obliged eagerly to get our morning started. A few of us got up and noticed the sign at the entry to the buffet room (see photo) highlighting the prices between the two buffet options ($29 for a continental breakfast and $45 for a full breakfast) and quickly sat down to enjoy our coffee at least and come up with another plan for the day. HIDDEN FEE! This isn't published, this wasn't told to us before entering by our server/host, nothing. Not until our server brought around another pot of coffee and said we should probably get something to eat since the coffee alone was $21 per cup! $21 for a mediocre medium roast coffee! There wasn't even any choice flavored creamers to go with it, just a single, non-flavored creamer in a small porcelain pitcher. So for $8 more, you could get something to eat versus paying for the coffee alone. Deceit and trickery. The buffets are not set up separately but everything is all mixed in together. The plates to are all the way into the buffet, in the back by all the full breakfast items. It's not until you've got whatever items you went for, on your way out, looking for any cutlery (although supplied at your table) maybe, you notice the much smaller sign, off to the side and darn near at an inner corner, you see a detailed list as to what is considered full vs continental. This is predatory, pure and simple, bating people to come all the way in, well past a sign intentionally set off to the side. None of which were back at the front host desk along side the 'Please Wait to be Seated' sign or even at the table. The $35 resort like fee, but it's a credit. Really?? Just trying to get that additional spend at the property. See all the other comments on the web for various pricing on drinks and snacks in their little store. $35 isn't getting you much. You're better off with Target across the street and all the street vendors. The location, it's alright. The windows need cleaned. Signage downstairs pointing out the elevator for the lobby would be solid. The attitudes of most staff need help. Hospitality is not a staple here. Even brought up a service issue with an elevator and it was, eh, whatever for the front counter. I got far better service at the deli's and bakeries throughout NYC by folks probably making $10/hr less then these clowns in this circus. If janky shenanigans are your thing with surprises around every corner and a few new fee's in your checkout cart after the fact like another trip on Spirit, Hilton Times Square has got you covered!
