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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

already know i’ll come again

hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful and made me feel comfortable going to them for help. the previous week i had stayed at a nearby hotel (motto by hilton) before moving over and the difference in attitude and warmth was like night and day.

it wasn’t so clear what food was available to order on the first floor as the menu wasn’t quite visible and it looked more like a bar at night

CitizenM New York Times Square offers a stylish lobby, great location, and fast internet!

I'm a big fan of citizenM hotels. I have experience staying at their locations across the USA, including San Francisco and Miami. The breakfast is the same as in other citizenM hotels. Stylish lobby and a great, safe location.

The rooms feel a little old, in my opinion (compared to citizenM hotels in San Francisco and Miami), but there's still plenty of joy in the lobby, which is great for gathering and working, with very fast internet.

Good value place to stay near Times Square, but bring earplugs!

Great location next to a subway station and close to Times Square. Beds were big and comfortable.

The lifts were very noisy all evening/night, so we didn’t sleep well at all. The rooms are very small

Would have prefered to have an iron in the room as opposed to using an ironing room.

Excellent location, incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great facilities.

I had asked for our room to be cleaned and towels changed daily. This didn’t happen and I had to chase up replacement towels and the room wasn’t tidied every day as I had hoped.

OMG!!! Amazing place! Quirky, fun, funky, Amazing personal touches were added as we were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary, which really turned our stay from great to awesomely exceptional. Thank you to all the staff from housekeeping to maintenance to front desk to bar staff. Amazing location, spotlessly clean, could not fault it. We are CitizenM citizens from now on.

Great exsperience!

The bedrooms are very nice and I loved that we could control the lights with the iPad. The space was very clean and worth the money.

The only issue we had was on the iPad there is an option to control the climate and it wasn’t working.

Amazing stay at the heart of NYCA

You can't beat CitizenM's location! We loved being so close to Times Square and other key locations. We loved the room's design (albeit small) and the modern features that you can control from the tablet (lighting etc). It was our second stay at CitizenM locations in NYC and we enjoyed every bit.

Great stay and price.

Clean and fashionable with all of the desired amenities

On many occasions the elevator took a terribly long time to get to the called floor. I believe this is because there were only two of them and the staff were using them.
