Having read some great reviews, I thought this hotel would be ideal for our 5 day trip to NYC.
Unfortunately our stay was very underwhelming. Both rooms tiny ( despite one upgrade). It was definitely a case of form over function.

Having read some great reviews, I thought this hotel would be ideal for our 5 day trip to NYC.
Unfortunately our stay was very underwhelming. Both rooms tiny ( despite one upgrade). It was definitely a case of form over function.
If you are of Lilliputian proportions, have a penchant for lift queueing , love loud street noises ( no acoustic glass ) and don't value sleep ( because the doors don't have soft close ) this is the hotel for you. There has clearly been money spend(or misspent) on the Hotel but the designers need to book themselves in for a stay to appreciate the shortfalls.

If we return to…

If we return to NYC one day, it will only be to the Civilian Hotel! We will also recommend it to our friends. Totally worth choosing over other hotels!

We had a fabulous stay at the Civilian. Our room was clean, and while small, it was very well thought out. We had everything we needed. We loved the bars in the hotel and visited them a few times. Great cocktails, food, and service! There's a subway station a very short walk away, and the hotel is literally surrounded by great food. The hotel…
