Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square Central

Midtown, New York

Virgin rating

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.

Just back from a family city break in NYC , we’re from the UK and stayed in this hotel. We had an excellent time and enjoyed our our stay. The central location was superb for exploring Manhattan. Everything worked in our room and bathroom, the beds were particularly comfortable. Our room, and hotel in general was absolutely spotless . We could control the heating and air con in our room, for us, another good point. The breakfast was a very welcome start to the day, as was the complimentary hot drinks in the lobby after a days sight seeing. All the staff were polite and helpful. We would stay at this hotel again and would recommend it. Read less

We have just returned from a stay at this hotel. The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to ensure everyone’s needs are met no matter what time of day or night. The rooms are spotlessly clean and a decent size. The hotel is perfectly placed in the Centre and does not charge any resort fees. The free buffet breakfast was a great way to start the day and the hot and cold drinks station in the lobby was a welcome bonus when returned from a cold day exploring the city. The hotel has a bag storage facility if you have checked out but don’t fly until later and will organise a car service at a set price if required. Overall I can definitely recommend booking this hotel. Read less
