MOXY NYC Times Square

Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

Quirky, cool and exciting, the Moxy Times Square offers an experience you’ll never forget. If you're looking for a good time, this is the place to be, nowhere else in the Big Apple has anything quite like it — with an urban amusement park complete with pitch and putt, a carousel, a tattoo parlour, and a topiary garden. Your room is a trendy, modern haven, perfect to head back to after a day of sightseeing. And in the evening, you can head up to the rooftop bar to sip on a cocktail, and admire the twinkling skyline surrounding you, topped off with a view of the iconic Empire State Building.

As a tourism professional, I visit hotels in many countries throughout the year. While in New York, I booked four nights at the Moxy Times Square after reading online reviews. It was a mistake and a very poor choice that I will definitely not recommend to my clients (photos to prove it). To go to bed, you have the choice between climbing or crawling on the bed. Especially to get up... The room was 1٫90 meters wide! The long room design is designed for a small person, but definitely not for two. Plus, you have the choice between staying warm all night or leaving the air conditioning running, which comes on every five minutes and makes a noise reminiscent of a range hood! When you take one of the elevators, you have to like loud music. The hotel manager must be a little deaf... Regarding the reception, I tested it by asking to call a restaurant to reserve a table one evening. The answer was: do it directly online! What service, I've never seen anything like it in my 35-year career. A good point, though, for the hotel's location. In short, avoid this hotel; fortunately, there are plenty of others in New York. I understand better why people prefer to book on Aibnb... Read less

There are a lot of stores and restaurants close by. The rooms are quite small and laid out weirdly. Sink is outside in the hall between the toilet/shower and the bedroom. The lighting is awful to do your makeup. However everything is clean and upgraded so it’s a nice stay.

Cannot fault this hotel. For those complaining about small rooms should do their homework when booking! Yes the room is compact but it has EVERYTHING you need to make it a comfortable stay. Yes there is noise from external but you are pretty much slap bang in the heart of the city. No noise from outside of the rooms in the halls. Location is top… Read more
Cannot fault this hotel. For those complaining about small rooms should do their homework when booking! Yes the room is compact but it has EVERYTHING you need to make it a comfortable stay. Yes there is noise from external but you are pretty much slap bang in the heart of the city. No noise from outside of the rooms in the halls. Location is top drawer, 6 min walk to Times Square. Breakfast voucher was a fab surprise. The free coffee was delightful. Rooftop bar was great, we made a reservation so had a great seat but the best thing about this place, front of house staff! Shout out to Oliver, Axyl and Ricky (cheers for the Margs!) what a lovely lunch of young men! Shame I couldn’t bring you a “Greggs” 😉 A brilliant stay! Read less

My wife and I had an amazing experience at this hotel! We were greeted by Oliber who checked us in and did a great job! Him and his manager Luke Johnson took great care of us and made us feel like VIP guests! Also a big thank you to Kevin Oakes for the accommodations!

I recently visited the hotel with my two daughters and we had a brilliant time. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the staff were so nice and very helpful. Very good location to stay whilst visiting NYC. I would totally recommend without hesitation x
