Picked Civilian hotel for its location- it’s close to a few subway stations, and far enough away from Times Square that you don’t have to deal with a lot of noise. Their app let me check in a bit earlier than expected, and I even got an upgraded room with an amazing view. The room itself was very stylish and comfortable. Every staff member was… Read more

Fabulous find

I loved this hotel. Yes, you can handle everything on your phone, but there are actually people around. The staff is personable, helpful, knowledgeable about the area and friendly. High quality design, great 2nd story lounge area, comfortable rooms and in mid-town so you can get anywhere easily. 22 stories, so it feels intimate. Finally. … Read more

Ideal & Elegant Stay in NY

I had an excellent stay at The Civilian! The team at reception is kind and welcoming. The option to add a guaranteed paid early check in is a huge bonus since I often take red eye flights to NY. The cozy queen room was absolutely lovely - a great size got one person and so elegant. The bathroom was huge and I loved all the toiletries. The TV had… Read more
I had an excellent stay at The Civilian! The team at reception is kind and welcoming. The option to add a guaranteed paid early check in is a huge bonus since I often take red eye flights to NY. The cozy queen room was absolutely lovely - a great size got one person and so elegant. The bathroom was huge and I loved all the toiletries. The TV had plenty of fun channels and the wifi was very fast. I didn't make it to the rooftop bar but Rosevale Cocktail Room is fantastic, especially the martini flight. And last but not least, it's truly in the perfect location - easy to get to/from JFK and all the neighborhoods my friends are in. Cannot wait to stay here again! Read less
We stayed at CIVILIAN NYC for 5 nights and loved it!

The location is unbeatable—just steps from subway stations, so getting around the city was a breeze. We caught 2-3 Broadway shows during our stay, and all the theaters were within easy walking distance. Plus, it’s only a 5-minute walk to Times Square, and close to the 50th and 49th Street subway stations. The staff was fantastic—they even helped… Read more
The location is unbeatable—just steps from subway stations, so getting around the city was a breeze. We caught 2-3 Broadway shows during our stay, and all the theaters were within easy walking distance. Plus, it’s only a 5-minute walk to Times Square, and close to the 50th and 49th Street subway stations. The staff was fantastic—they even helped us celebrate our anniversary, which was such a nice touch! The rooftop bar is a must-visit—great views and vibes. Mornings were a treat too, with complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby. The area has plenty of delis and food options nearby, which was super convenient. The hotel itself is modern, quiet, and offers fantastic views. The rooms are cozy and small, but they have everything you need, so no complaints there. We’ll definitely be back—and I can’t recommend CIVILIAN NYC enough! Read less
