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.

The Moxy hotel is one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I have come to believe that their reviews are fake. Besides the room, being tiny and claustrophobic it was impossible to sleep at night.

Moxy is the perfect place to stay, especially with such a quick walk to Times Square! It is located by a lot of great places which was super convenient, and hotel was extremely clean. Alexus was an amazing help with getting our team set up and taken care of.

So I checked my bags with the concierge and proceeded to start my day. When I returned to the hotel, check-in was very efficient. Little did I know I was assigned a twin room. However, I made a call to the front desk. They said no problem, we have other rooms available and they put me in a queen room, which was great !!! The hotel had a great vibe. I will definitely stay here again. Read less

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.
