Hotel CitizenM Times Square, New York
Expert reviews
“The trendy but affordable, limited-service hotel offers self-check-in at welcome kiosks in the art-filled double-height lobby staffed by friendly hosts. Fresh, funky and affordable, citizenM is a modern haven in touristy Times Square. Its D.I.Y. ethos, like picking your room art, offers efficiency with flair.”
“And here’s where the cool kids stay. Especially the tech-savvy ones, because you’re going to have to know your way around an I-Pod to enjoy a sojourn at this groovy Dutch chain.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in New York.
“citizenM works for travellers seeking the basics but with panache and a few perks. Expect uber-comfy king beds in tiny rooms, luxurious rain-showers and ‘moodpad’ controls. Amenities aside, the attraction (besides reasonable rates) is the lobby-meets-living-space, teeming with energy like the city beyond its doors.”

Citizen M is a business travelers dream come true!
Check in was easy and the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. Immaculate room, delicious breakfast, perfect space to work downstairs and for coworking on the mezzanine and outside. A little pricey but always worth it as a business traveler- you know your audience!
Price seemed higher than normal

We would highly recommend this place ! We will stay when we return. Staff was welcoming and super helpful. Our best trip
It’s literally right in the heart of town square. Tons of eating options and you can walk anywhere in 15 minutes

CitizenM was a wonderful option for our 4 day stay in NY
Lobby, breakfast and bars were amazing! The lobby bar/restaurant seriously made me the BEST latte I’ve ever had! Staff were exceptionally friendly and our room was clean & updated. My son and I had a wonderful experience staying here for our first mother-son trip to NYC. Bringing hubby back soon!
Rooms are super tiny but to be expected at (most) NYC hotels.

The room design is not traditional but is well designed, very clean and comfortable. The fridge, safe, general storage are good.
I was not happy with the booking.com taxi transfer - I moved from one place to another and stood in a clear distinct place under the G as requested but I gave up after 20 minutes and paid for my own taxi.

Excellent hotel, great location
Fantastic hotel with friendly staff and in a superb location. I hope to return to NYC on another trip and I would stay in the same hotel again. Great view of the city from the rooftop bar.
Nothing we didn't like, couldn't fault the hotel at all.

Great apartment in a perfect location and Alessandro was very helpful for the checkin and checkout. I will definitely go back to this place in Milan (either for work or visiting the city center)

There should be more breakfast options, and the rooms and other areas could benefit from better maintenance.

I believe the hotel would benefit from offering a wider variety of breakfast options. Additionally, both the rooms and other areas of the hotel could use better maintenance.

Perfect hotel for a city break in NYC.
The location is perfect for all the sights. Plus the staff are exceptional. Especially Ben who made me a hot toddy to ease my laryngitis.
Room was quite small and the view was t that pleasant. It didn’t affect my overall stay though.

Great location, everything within easy access and walking distance. Good breakfast selection, nice room, great drinks & service.
Breakfast was expensive, especially paying $22 for a child. Would have been nice to have complimentary mineral water in the fridge.

Best stay ever, it exceeded my expectations, really good value for money in an excellent location!
Location was amazing very central, the hotel itself was beautiful, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the room was a bit small but really comfortable, I slept so well!
Rooms could be slightly bigger and breakfast could have more variety (more fresh options). Also a coffee machine in the room would be fantastic! :)

A very cozy, clean, and lively hotel in an excellent location. The room is perfect for a solo stay.
Amazing location. Very good breakfast. Very lively atmosphere at the lobby/bar.
The bed was awkwardly positioned under the window, with three sides against the walls. This made it difficult for the person sleeping next to the wall to get out of bed without having to climb over the other person.

Friendly staff, clean, and great location!
Everyone on the staff was so helpful and pleasant. Great location to great food, subways, and entertainment.

Amazing location!!! Had a great time.
Amazing location!!! So close to Broadway shows, subway, Times Square, etc. The bed was sooo comfortable and we loved the iPad controlled room and the fun features. The view from the rooftop bar was great (see picture). All the staff were friendly. They have what appeared to be a nice breakfast, but we did not participate.
The room may be a bit tight/small for some people. It was not an issue for us, but I can see others might not like it- particularly how the bed is up against the wall. If you’re sleeping on that side you’d have to climb over the other person to get out of bed.

A very good hotel and all worked well.
it all worked well and great shower, very comfortable bed, and did what it needed to do. Good TV, facilities all very good. Good breakfast which was good value. Staff all very helpful.
I would have liked coffee and tea making facilities in the room. I would have liked more that the room was serviced everyday rather than having to opt in.

I have stayed here before, and I would definitely return.
The location worked well for walking to most of my events and getting to my meetings. The staff was very helpful and responsive.
Would like a few more food choices at the bar.

This was an excellent trip with my daughter that I will never forget, and the awesome hotel contributed to that.

Surprisingly lovely, clean, new and fun, will be back.
On par with the good contemporary European hotels - new, clean, efficient, quirky design, fast elevators, Hans grove bath fixtures with good water pressure ( unheard in NY hotels). Was very pleasantly surprised, will be back if the price stays that competitive. Breakfast is worth $20 a person.
NY prices and street noise, but location is spectacular:) nearby parking is $77 for 24 hours with taxes and congestion charge.

Great stay for a solo traveler.
The location is great! The room was perfect for a solo traveler, and the bed was just amazing. The staff was friendly and nice.
Had some issues with the tablet, which were resolved by themselves in few hours, but it required some calls to the lobby, and a few hours that the tablet/tv didn't work.

Loved the location and definitely a cool room experience. Would definitely stay here again!
Room was the perfect size for a solo traveler and the bed was very comfortable. Location was great - I planned this trip to see a handful of Broadway shows and most were within walking distance (Walter Kerr for Hadestown was less than a 5 minute walk and Music Box Theatre for A Picture of Dorian Gray was less than a 10 minute walk) or had subway stops right next to the hotel. Times Square was also about a 10 minute walk.

CitizenM hotels never disappoint!
Perfect location, friendly stuff, easy & fast check in and check out! I love their concept, also bar in the lobby! CitizenM hotels never disappoint!

Thank you for helping me make my first time in the American continent and my birthday celebration more memorable.
- Location: Walking distance to Times Square, Broadway, Hell’s Kitchen, MOMA, Rockefeller Center; subways upon exit - Facilities: bar with amazing view, gym, - Property offers the option for each day the room is not cleaned, a donation will be given to a charity; something that also is kind for the environment and the cleaners - Breakfast is amazing - Staff are helpful and friendly. Kudos to Kevin for helping me out with my check-in and making my stay in the hotel more comfortable. - Very interactive room where you can choose lighting, moods, TV channel from an Ipad. While it’s close to Times Square, the room is quiet.

Convenient location and buzzy.
Unfortunately one night the heater broke so it was very very cold overnight.
