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.”

Very good

The hotel was generally comfortable and clean

but unfortunately, the soundproofing was a major downside. I could clearly hear the elevator operating and noise from the neighbors, which made it difficult to fully relax. If you’re sensitive to noise, this might be something to keep in mind.

It was recommended to me by a friend and I will recommend it to my friends

All of the staff were so friendly. It was really nice to feel comfortable leaving your room to go hang out in the bars or “living room.” The location was close to everything. The hotel was modern.

The rooms were tiny but I think that’s expected everywhere in that area.

Comfort of the room, cleanliness and above all the bed and the incredible pillows.

I expected a lot more from the shower. I think the water outlets are clogged and not much water comes out

Enjoy the staff they were all friendly, the bartender whose name begins with an a, she was very welcoming, and I enjoyed

The cleanliness was a great feature of this hotel. I love the room rooms have no carpet. I also enjoyed the location, which was within feet of most Broadway shows. It was also between 20 minutes walk to Saks, Fifth Avenue and other major department stores. It was less than a half of a block away from the closest subway station, which would take you to Canal Street, the world trade center, and all the way down to the ferries to see the Statue of Liberty

Food was just ok, breakfast was decent!

The room was exactly what we needed, no more, no less, for a good price in a great area.

The room was small, but had plenty of storage for clothing and such. The room is very European style, compact, efficient, truly designed for sleeping and getting ready. Two major positives was the functionality of the iPad to control everything in the room and the bathroom. The iPad was Incredibly easy and intuitive. The bathroom, while small, had the best shower for the space provided. Overall, if you’re looking for a hotel in a very convenient location on Broadway and in the heart of uptown, you can’t do much better for the price.

While the bed was big, there was access to it on only one side. If you’re older or less mobile and sharing the bed, may be difficult to access. Also, due to the size, there’s nowhere else to sit besides the bed. Additionally, the fridge was incredibly small. Be cognizant of that with leftovers and takeout and even just for beverages. A couple 20 oz bottles is all that will fit

Loved it!

Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We got engaged and they gave us a card, drinks, breakfast and Prosecco on the house! Couldn’t do to much for you. Lots of recommendations. Felt like coming home. Amazing central location. Escape from the craziness of New York!

Roof top bar could have had more selection on drinks, shots cocktails etc. tea and coffee facilities in the room.

Excellent location, just steps from Times Square and close to a subway station. The rooftop bar has amazing views. The bed was very large and comfortable, and the room controls via iPad were super convenient and modern.

The room was a bit small, with not much space for luggage (we had two large suitcases).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
