Hilton New York Times Square

My top choice for a Manhattan hotel! It's so close to Times Square yet still quiet. Seriously, don't book a Hilton right in Times Square; it'll be incredibly noisy.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right in New York's Broadway area, next door to the 'Aladdin' theater and Madame Tussauds, and directly across from a Target supermarket. Times Square is about a 10-minute walk away, making it incredibly convenient for shopping, dining, catching a show, or taking the subway. The rooms are quite spacious and well-equipped. Although there wasn't an electric kettle initially, the front desk provided one upon request. However, the room lacked disposable slippers and toiletries, which didn't align with the booking agreement. From the room window, you can enjoy a nice view of the Hudson River. There's also an elderly gentleman at the front desk who speaks Chinese, which made communication very easy. Parking at the hotel is very inconvenient and expensive; valet parking costs $95, and you need to book your car an hour in advance.

The hotel's location is great, near Times Square and not far from Manhattan's various attractions. However, the facilities are a bit dated, and the service is just average. During my 5-day stay, housekeeping missed one day (they came at 8 AM, I asked them to come back at 11 AM, and they never did). Bottled water isn't provided in the room, but you can ask the front desk for it. One day when I asked, they actually suggested I drink the tap water from the room (they seemed reluctant to give it). Given the environment (the street outside is crowded and a bit chaotic) and the amenities, the hotel price is quite high. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you really love Times Square.

A luxurious and high-end hotel with an amazing ambiance, where design beautifully blends aesthetics and quality. The room views are absolutely stunning, and the toiletries are top-notch. The dining experience is exquisite and meticulously prepared with premium ingredients. The service is attentive and refined, without being intrusive. A perfect experience, definitely worth a special return trip.

The views are expansive, offering a full panorama of the city, and the hotel is right in the heart of Times Square. Nearby, you'll find Madame Tussauds, Broadway shows, the Harry Potter play, and a subway station. From afternoon into the evening, the streets are bustling with people, a variety of delicious food, and street performers.

The room was small but well-appointed. The lobby is on the 20-something floor, and there's a convenience store right next to it. The Western-style continental breakfast covered all the basics. The subway station is literally a minute's walk away, and the entire street is lined with theaters. Times Square is just a two-minute walk. The location couldn't be more convenient!
