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.

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.

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

Stayed for a weekend night. Location is immediately int he middle of Times Square, smack in the middle of Broadway theatres. Room on high floor was quiet with nice city view. Rooftop observation deck is open 8am-8pm. Admittedly you can't see lights of times square at night but the hours make it hard to catch sun coming up or visit in the evening.… Read more
Stayed for a weekend night. Location is immediately int he middle of Times Square, smack in the middle of Broadway theatres. Room on high floor was quiet with nice city view. Rooftop observation deck is open 8am-8pm. Admittedly you can't see lights of times square at night but the hours make it hard to catch sun coming up or visit in the evening. Room was small but sufficient. Good bed linens, pillows and towels. Cleanliness could be better. Room was a little dusty with some flecks of things floating around on the floor. Not sure what was going on with coffee in the lobby but it was terrible. No flavored creamers to boot. Property is in line with other Hamptons in general. I have no issues staying here again.

This hotel was everything we could have wanted for our first trip to NYC. Conveniently located to Times Square and multiple subway lines, we never had any issues getting around. It was also so convenient to walk to and from our Broadway show! The staff at the hotel was amazing: Will and Jorge at breakfast were always so cheerful.and the front desk staff was always eager to help us get extra towels, a sewing kit--whatever we needed! The rooms were clean and the bed super comfortable. Despite being so close to the action, the rooms were quiet and I appreciated that we could open the window a little for fresh air. Breakfast always had lots of great options (hot and cold), though I do recommend trying to get down there before 8AM especially during peak travel times. Another added bonus is access to the roof: in the evenings, no one was out there so I was able to enjoy the sounds of the city with a hot tea before bed. I won't hesitate to recommend this hotel to any visitors to NYC, especially first timers. I'm so grateful to all of the staff who helped make our stay so lovely and comfortable. Thank you!! Read less

This hotel is everything the good reviews said it was. Location is amazing, as you are in the middle of Times Square, close to everything including the Subway. I got the City View King Room, and it was awesome seeing all the tall buildings , including the Empire State. The free breakfast was great, with a good variety of food. All the staff, I mean every staff I came into contact with, were professional, kind, helpful and welcoming. Had many great laughs with the front desk staff. Eddy even arranged great car service to JFK. The rooms are like new, but a bit small, hey its New York. Patience is needed waiting for the elevator, as it gets busy at times. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel, as it was just perfect for me, and really made my first trip to New York special. I'll be back :) Read less
