Booked this hotel for a solo trip to the city and will plan to stay here for future visits! I booked a Cozy Queen room, which was perfect for me as a solo traveler. The room was thoughtfully designed with storage and beautiful modern decor. My purpose for this trip was to see shows, so I loved all of the subtle nods to Broadway throughout the hotel! With this trip purpose in mind, the location of this hotel is ideal and one of the many reasons I will be back! Nestled off 8th Avenue is the perfect location to be close to all the theatres, but just far enough removed from the crowds of Times Square. Tons of restaurants and bars close by in Hells Kitchen, and the C E stop only two blocks away made visiting other points in the city a breeze. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, always offering a warm welcome when returning from being out and about. The complimentary water and coffee during the day in the lounge was a lovely treat, especially while visiting during the heat wave. Thank you so much Civilian for a lovely stay and for making my birthday trip so special. I can’t wait to visit you again soon! Read less

I would really recommend this hotel if youre going to NYC. The location is perfect, and the room was clean and cozy. We had a stunning view over Manhattan. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The view from the rooftop is stunning- remember to book a table, its popular. Stay at this hotel made our trip to NYC just perfect.

We truly enjoyed our stay! Hotel has so much character, and everyone is very helpful. It's perfect for attending Broadway shows and is close to subway access. Will definitely stay here again when we visit NYC.

Amazing bedding, I love the detail to the fixtures and fittings in the room. Temperature gauge in the shower is perfect. The cocktail bar and the rooftop bar are great hang outs. I wish all hotels were designed like this.
