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.

The price is too high for the service provided. Only good things about this hotel: location and cleanliness. Breakfast is terrible. no cheese or ham. Boiled eggs are icy and very overcooked. The breakfast room is small, about 50-60 seats, and the hotel is on the 31st floor. You have to wait up to 30 minutes to be seated, some eat at the reception.… Read more
The price is too high for the service provided. Only good things about this hotel: location and cleanliness. Breakfast is terrible. no cheese or ham. Boiled eggs are icy and very overcooked. The breakfast room is small, about 50-60 seats, and the hotel is on the 31st floor. You have to wait up to 30 minutes to be seated, some eat at the reception. There are too few elevators, because going down from 7:30 to 9 in the morning you may have to wait for the elevator for 20-30 minutes. The windows in the room are leaky, so there is noise from the air conditioners of the buildings here around, making it impossible to sleep. The room is cool and the heater is so loud it's hard to have a conversation. We asked to change the room, they refused. Read less

Great location. We were able to walk to many places. Multiple subway stations and restaurants are nearby. The hotel was very clean, and the lobby was decorated for the holidays.

Everyone at the hotel was very kind; The manager saw us sitting in the lobby and introduced himself. I would recommend. Read less

Terrible experience (and I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member!) Called around to find a room with two queen beds + sleeper sofa for party of 3, two being seven-foot basketball players.

Terrible experience (and I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member!) Called around to find a room with two queen beds + sleeper sofa for party of 3, two being seven-foot basketball players. Made reservation with Hilton Honors 800 number for room as specified. Got to hotel and there are NO SUCH ROOMS at this property. The manager was totally uninterested in helping us (again; HHonors Diamond). First night was so bad (two of us in one queen bed and the sever-footer awoke with terrible back pains that we canceled the second night of reservation. It took FOUR months and countless emails on my part to get the 80,000 points returned to my account. Asked for additional points for how we got screwed but Hilton not interested in making such a gesture to a loyal guest. The kicker: I got 2-3 texts from the manager during my stay asking how everything was. But NO responses when I replied. I was later told he was not willing to help me because I was a "troublemaker." My dad built a company from 10 stores to 105 because of excellent customer service. This was the worst!!!!! Read less

Stayed here in August 2023. Chose this hotel because I had tickets to see Some Like It Hot on Broadway and have Hilton Honors. Staff were friendly. Nice clean lobby. Never felt unsafe. Stayed on the 8th floor and hardly heard any city noise considering I was super close to Times Square and Port Authority. I had a king room and for a NYC hotel… Read more

Stayed on the 8th floor and hardly heard any city noise considering I was super close to Times Square and Port Authority. I had a king room and for a NYC hotel didn't feel cramped but same time not too big either. Just perfect. Nice comfortable bed and air conditioning was very nice. Read less

I just got back from a business trip to NYC. Being business, my schedule was a bit tighter than a leisurely trip. I needed help with my accommodations and Shane and Lisbeth were so helpful. They turned a stressful situation into a great experience. All of my needs were met and they really exceeded expectations. This will be my new “go to” hotel… Read more
