Broadway, Times Square, Radio City Hall - just some of the iconic New York attractions that are pretty much right at your doorstep when you stay at the brand new Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square. Housed in a 46-storey building you enter the lobby on the 11th floor - elevated from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Midtown, so you already feel as if you're in your own haven. The hotel itself is stylish and modern, offering both comfort and functionaltiy for solo travellers and couples alike. The outdoor terrace at Highball is a particular highlight. Look over the heart of the city whilst you enjoy innovative cocktails and delicious sharing plates, whatever time of day! There are bicycles available to explore futher out, but if you want to keep your feet on the ground - there's so much within walking distance, and you're never far from a subway station either.

New modern hotel on Times Square
Dec 23, 2024PumHarrow, United Kingdom
We had a King Bed, Corner (Ball Drop View) room (not that the ball was dropping at this time of year.) Great views from on high over Times Square. Quite luxurious feel to the room, fixtures and fittings. Remote controlled curtains. Quite a small room in terms of square feet, but that would be keeping costs down in this prime real estate area. …

We had a King Bed, Corner (Ball Drop View) room (not that the ball was dropping at this time of year.) Great views from on high over Times Square. Quite luxurious feel to the room, fixtures and fittings. Remote controlled curtains. Quite a small room in terms of square feet, but that would be keeping costs down in this prime real estate area. Right over 49 Street Subway station, so good connections to where ever you want to go in NYC. Staff were all fine.

Me and my partner stayed at this hotel for my 30th in December.
The hotel was spotless and we loved the room. (I am so fussy where I stay). It was extremely clean and the view from our room was amazing. We didn’t pay extra but our room had a partial view of Times Square. The shower in the room was really good and very hot! The bed was also super comfy that we didn’t want to get out of it!
We felt very safe as there were lots of security manning the doors and your key card would only allow you to your floor in the building.
The only thing I would say are drinks are expensive (9$) for a bottle of water. It would have been nice to have bottled water in the room. We also had to pay 800$ deposit which we were unaware of (this would get refunded after the stay). This included the tax of 40$ per night which we were aware of.
I would recommend this hotel as it is very central, has lovely rooms, is clean, quick check in and check out and a lovely bar to relax in!

Taking money off credit card without authorisation

The stay at the hotel was fine, however minimal info given at check in wasn’t told about the 10 dollars we get back each day for the tourist tax or the rental of citi bikes.

Been trying to call and speak to someone and a total waste of time. They pick up the phone and then hang up on you. Disgusting behaviour

Great Rooms and Views, But Breakfast and Policies Disappoint

The Tempo Hilton Times Square has its strengths, but unfortunately, some significant drawbacks impacted our stay. On the positive side, we stayed in a high floor suite for four, which was excellent. The rooms were modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with the added convenience of two bathrooms—a huge plus for a group. The views of Times Square were stunning, making the suite feel special and very New York. Also to note, you must tell management in advance if you’ve wish to use the sofa bed as a bed otherwise it will not be made up. I’m not sure where they thought we were all going to sleep!
However, there were major issues that need addressing. Firstly, the huge deposit required upfront is excessive and could affect guests’ ability to spend during their stay, which feels unfair. We were not made aware of this beforehand. The biggest disappointment, though, was the breakfast experience. It was utterly abysmal—a chaotic, unappealing process that felt more like eating at a fast-food chain than in a Hilton hotel. Breakfast came in boxes with paper plates, plastic cutlery, and no proper glasses or cups—not in the restaurant or even in the rooms. The amount of plastic waste must be off the scale, and it’s both environmentally irresponsible and unpleasant for guests. Whoever approved this setup should seriously rethink the concept.
Overall, while the rooms and views were great, the breakfast and deposit policy left a sour note. Such a shame for a hotel with so much potential.

Amazing Hospitality
Dec 2, 2024Karen F
Really smart hotel and great central location but the best thing by far is the fantastic Team who work here and really look after you from the minute you arrive outside. In a busy city where great service and attitude isn’t readily obvious Tempo is an oasis. Would definitely stay again.
