EVERYONE was kind, friendly, fun and helpful! Jess in 2nd floor cocktail Bar (a stunning room with outdoor terrace seating) is a superb mixologist and a delightful human! The three young men greeting us at check in on April 28th were extraordinary. We danced together each that time we passed through! Traveling with my adult daughter with disabilities, they provided comfortable accommodations to meet her needs. The unique decor makes Civilian a delight to explore. Each floor, and seemingly room, brings a new surprise. Broadway and showbiz photos & memorabilia; exceptional views from the Starchild roof top bar. Enjoyed a nicely prepared pre-theater dinner at Rosevale. Great location. Exceptionally comfortable bed! I look forward to staying here again! Read less

This was the best experience I have had in New York to date. This was my first time at the Civilian Hotel and it was great! I really loved the decor of the room and attention to detail that was placed on everything. My bed was comfortable and the room was cozy and warm. Lighting was exceptional and design and layout were great. The hotel was very warm and inviting and not sterile and museum-like compared to other places I have stayed. The upstairs bar and hotel were so much fun that my friends came back to my hotel to congregate. I look forward to going back to New York again this Fall and I will definitely be staying at the Civilian Hotel. Read less

Had a great stay! The room views were amazing and the room was so comfy. The rooftop Starchild is beautiful & they also have a restaurant Rosevale located in the hotel. The staff was kind and helpful. The location is perfect & minutes from Times Square.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Civilian. The staff was really nice and helpful. The rooms are really clean. There’s a lot of cool touches to the rooms like a steamer and a safe in a drawer under the bed. The two sets of blinds are controlled by a switch, super rad.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Civilian. The staff was really nice and helpful. The rooms are really clean. There’s a lot of cool touches to the rooms like a steamer and a safe in a drawer under the bed. The two sets of blinds are controlled by a switch, super rad. The bathroom in the basement is really cool. Loved the theme! The sensors to the front doors are really nice, especially if you’re a germ-a-phobe. The location is prime - close to time square, subway stations and yummy food. Read less
