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.

Perfect 3 day stay! Fortunate to get a corner room, recommended, and the space was awesome: dining area, living room corner and hidden bathroom with ‘2’ doors! Shower head has a massive pour, which is not normal in the city. The vibe once you enter the lobby is contagious, great staff 24/7. Second floor space is great for work or… Read more

We stayed for 5 nights at the Moxy on a recent trip and it was a great base for our New York stay.

We stayed for 5 nights at the Moxy on a recent trip and it was a great base for our New York stay. The room we had was compact but a great use of the available space and we managed fine as two adults with two large suitcases. The only thing I would have changed would be to not have the bed against the wall as I had to climb over my partner if I needed to get out in the night but this wasn’t a huge issue and again it did maximise the available space. The hotel bar was nice as was the coffee shop next door and a $20 dollar credit per day to use in either of these was a nice touch, as was the complimentary drinks cart that was there most evenings when we came back. All the staff we dealt with were excellent especially Joanne who was super helpful. The lifts were pretty efficient and the luggage storage in the basement was great on our last day. Although we could hear noise from the street in our 9th floor room the sound proofing was pretty good and we slept well. All in all a fantastic location and a great place for a city break. Read less

Happy hour in the restaurant was good and $20 food credit for the establishments was a nice touch. Super convenient location right in the mix if things. Decor of the rooms are good and the bathroom is very trendy with a decent shower. Rooms are small but as expected in New York. Jeffrey on the front reception was excellent and got us to our room quickly which was amazing as we had just done a 24 hour trip with two young kids. Read less

The moxy at Times Square is such a great place to stay! We never want to stay anywhere else when visiting New York. Joanne was super friendly and made us feel right at home! She is seriously the best! Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable!

We came to New York to get married and used this hotel as our base. We arrived and having booked through a 3rd party were confronted with a $35 a night charge as a 'facilities tax'. While I accept the cost it wasn't communicated to us in any correspondence before our arrival The first night our room was right outside the lifts and all i could here was the squeaking of the lift and the music when the doors opened all night. On the wedding day the make up artist my wife used was sitting in the lobby 20 minutes as the staff were saying that we had never checked-in so they almost didn't have enough time to complete their job. We had let the reception know the names and times of any party that was arriving to help us. Our stay wasn't negative, the hotel is good, location good, rooms clean. The staff were helpful when we asked to change rooms and the bakery/rooftop bar is great. The above were little things that went wrong but our stay was generally positive Read less
