The hotel

With Manhattan’s all-singing, all-dancing Theater District literally on its doorstep, Hampton Inn Times Square Central is perfectly placed for bright lights and city sights. Shops, dining, shows, iconic buildings: it’s all on hand, with the two block stretch of eateries known as Restaurant Row just six minutes’ stroll away. If you’d rather eat back at base, the hotel’s convenience store has snacks, drinks and pre-packed meals. There’s no unnecessary fuss or frills here, but there are plenty of freebies: there’s the free hot breakfasts each morning, with classics like waffles; there’s the free WiFi; there’s the free tea and coffee on tap, day and night, in the lobby; and there’s the free in-room movie channel, for any nights you can’t get Broadway tickets.

Great location is about all. Very tight room. No space or storage. Great staff who could empathize. The Elevator situation was a constant struggle - neither going up nor coming down was easy. It was a struggle!!! Breakfast was quite a spread, but being very crowded , one could never enjoy breakfast!!! Better to opt out of it as it is on the house.… Read more
Great location is about all. Very tight room. No space or storage. Great staff who could empathize. The Elevator situation was a constant struggle - neither going up nor coming down was easy. It was a struggle!!! Breakfast was quite a spread, but being very crowded , one could never enjoy breakfast!!! Better to opt out of it as it is on the house. Can’t believe - no recycling! Great part was its location. We never took cabs. Beautiful activities all around Read less

Central location was great. Room was small but convenient. Beds ok. Airco was very noisy. One big minor was breakfast. Very poor food quality and even worse, way too busy. People were fighting for a table. Some brought their plate back to their room. Very annoying. Elevator rush hour between 830-10am where no elevator could be used going down. We… Read more

We took the stairs from 13th floor. Imagine you are at 32th. Read less

Pros: Staff are so friendly, Joseph the concierge was super helpful and nice. Hotel is very clean, they serve a nice breakfast, proximity to TimeSquare and subway lines was ideal, room/bed was super comfortable and as quiet as you could expect in NYC.

Pros: Staff are so friendly, Joseph the concierge was super helpful and nice. Hotel is very clean, they serve a nice breakfast, proximity to TimeSquare and subway lines was ideal, room/bed was super comfortable and as quiet as you could expect in NYC. Cons: There is a new transitional housing/shelter that is across the street from the hotel. Although there is often a group 40-50 people people standing out front, the police are also stationed there from about 4pm through the night. We never, ever felt unsafe but some might find it unnerving. The elevators are a huge issue in the morning. They are fast elevators, they just don't manage the demand. You can easily wait 10+ minutes for an elevator down. We were on the 16th floor and the elevators would already be full, then when you did get in an elevator you would stop at nearly every floor with people hoping to get on. We took the stairs down a few times because it took so long but obviously that's not a good option for some. If we stayed there again we would request a bottom floor or a top floor. Breakfast is super packed, if you have little ones you will likely struggle to find a table unless you are down there before 8am. All in all, we would stay there again. Read less

Looking for a cozy spot in the heart of the Big Apple? Look no further than Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square!

Looking for a cozy spot in the heart of the Big Apple? Look no further than Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square! Sure, the room may be cozy (read: small), but hey, it's New York City – space is a luxury! Plus, it's like playing a real-life game of Tetris with your luggage, right? But fear not, weary traveler, because what it lacks in square footage, it more than makes up for in location! Nestled smack dab in the middle of Broadway's glitz and glam, you'll be rubbing elbows with the stars (well, maybe not literally) and surrounded by a cornucopia of eateries that'll make your taste buds dance a Broadway jig! And who doesn't love a free breakfast to start the day? Sure, you might have to do a few laps around the dining room to snag a seat (think of it as your morning cardio), but once you're settled, you'll be feasting like a king! Now, about that rooftop observation deck... Let's just say, if you're a fan of concrete walls, boy, do we have the view for you! But fear not, intrepid adventurer, because the real spectacle awaits you in your very own hotel room. Who needs a skyline when you can marvel at the finest view of all – your comfy bed? So, if you're ready for a New York adventure packed with laughs, memories, and maybe a few bumps along the way (we're looking at you, breakfast rush), then Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square is the place to be. Book now and get ready for a stay that's small in size, but big on fun! Read less

Overall, I had a really good stay. The location was perfect. I was in the center of everything and I was able to walk to all the activities that I had planned during this trip. I was curious as to why people were always congregating across the street from the hotel, and when I asked the staff, they said they didn’t know either but there was a good police presence, security was always in the lobby and overall I did feel safe. I did stay on a lower floor after reading the reviews about the elevator, though I did like how there was a digital panel to tell you what floor which elevator was on, so that was helpful. The rooms were typical for New York and perfect for me by myself. The lobby decor was gorgeous and unique. The only thing I wasn’t happy about was breakfast, there wasn’t a big variety to choose from, but I was grateful to have something to eat in the mornings during my stay. The staff were really nice, so I would stay here again. Read less
