Hotel CitizenM Times Square, New York

218 W 50th St, New York, NY 10019, USA (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.”

Frommers review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Always know what I am going to get at CitizenM… but need soft pillows and oatmeal!!

The pillows are no longer soft— hard as rocks. I used to count on soft pillows at CitizenM and do need them for a comfy bed & sleep experience. Please bring back soft pillows!

See above. Also, no oatmeal!!! Used to serve oatmeal! Otherwise good experience.

Excellent room with a view! Hotel sits in a prime location to every direction you wish to venture. Rooftop bar with a splendid view of the city at night. Openbar until 2am Staff: professional, relaxed accommodating and welcoming - No acts, no pretence.✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Breakfast options were repetitive and slightly costly. Expected this location (as the European CitizenM) to be outfitted similarly. Had a couple minor challenges with a blocked bathroom sink and toilet seating, but it did not ruin my stay! Missed the kettle and tea tray in my room.

Great location and price if you don’t mind using the bathroom next to your bed.

Great price for the area! It was close to everything!! Also, the lobby felt so comfortable, like a living room! The breakfast is delicious as well. The space is very efficient as well!

The bathroom. It is very close to the bed. You are in a plastic pod while the bed is about a foot away. I am shy for number 2 so I had to go down to the lobby to use the bathroom every morning.

Loved it, happy to come again or recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Public areas bar and restaurant were good. Great location

Both myself and my partner have worked in hospitality for many years so we know what to look for and happy to wait if staff are busy, sorry to moan but the one and only issue we had one evening at the bar downstairs, it was quiet there was 5 staff talking amongst themselves they ignored us for around 10 mins. Wasn't very happy at the time.

High tech, modern, pleasant hotel within steps of all the Broadway plays we wanted to see!

Wonderful lobby with plenty of places to hang out. Great breakfast. I was worried about the elevators being slow, but it wasn't bad at all. Loved the high tech room with easy control over lights, blackout shades, etc. No long lines to check in/out since it is self-service on screens that are very easy to operate. There was always at least one person at the desk and they always responded to our questions very thoughtfully and pleasantly. Excellent staff!

The room is compact, which is fine because it is well-designed, with 2 separate closets and a compact fridge. It was fine for my daughter and me, but the bed position is tight. She slept on the side of the bed flush against the wall, and had to climb over me to get in/out. I also wonder how they change the bedding on those beds - the maids must have a lot of core strength! All in all, though a good experience at Citizen M!

Perfect room for 2 people -- would 100% stay there again and recommend it.

The whole place was super cute! I was actually expecting a janky hotel because of the price, but it was so so nice. It was trendy and clean and kinda blew me away. The room is a "micro room" but it was totally fine. It was just my daughter and I so it was perfect for 2 people. Would 100% stay there again!

The only thing I didn't like was that there was no free drip coffee. I mean, I get it, I guess but I thought that was weird.

great location friendly team. Fantastic rooftop bar. Everything we needed. No fuss. Clean and comfortable.

Only two things i would say that could improve things reangle the bed so one does nt have to climb over the other if they need to hop out in the middle of the night. A reusable bottle of tap water in the room would be a welcome touch. otherwise perfect!

We had a great time here and would recommend you try it.

The location was great for us. Near subway, within walking distance to pier 88 for cruise, right in the heart of Times Square. Staff was very friendly at check in. Loved the I pad to control everything in the room, lights, TV, air cond

The staff was supposed to contact us about something we left behind, but they never followed up.

The best of New York City and right in the heart of Time Square!

I loved how unique citizenM is! The decor is incredible and put together with the eye of a talented and humorous artist! The breakfasts were varied and wonderful, the lounge atmosphere had games and books and plenty of things to do. The king size bed was quite comfortable and I couldn’t ask for a better stay. The staff was absolutely wonderful as well.

Nothing, it was great!
