Tempo By Hilton Times Square

Midtown, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

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.

Worked out ok, though I'm so not a fan of all the electronic gadgetry--ie., different lighting, shades that only open or close, no stop 1/2 way or wherever, small rooms, very difficult finding my way out to ground from 38th or any floor, via staircase (solid emergency concern here!), dark, dark decor in hallways and elsewhere, expensive… Read more

Shout out to Yassin for always being super helpful! Comfy bed and lovely room I got an upgrade for my birthday too, nice bathroom as well! Bluestone coffee served in the lounge which was lovely. Good views of Times Square, as a solo traveller I felt very safe!

We checked in at about 1pm, but rooms were not ready till 4pm. Not a problem. The problem was the cash money they want for 'Resort Fees/Security Deposit' when checking in. I had searched high and low for official confirmation on these costs, but never found a definitive, official answer. Looking on NY forums, there were different prices everywhere! So confusing! The Receptionist was lovely and dealt with our check in really well. We had two rooms booked, for five nights. The hotel wanted €2000 to check in!! Resort Fee and Security deposit - per night was $200 per room. I had budgeted $1000 for both rooms, and thank you to the lovely lady on Reception for going above and beyond to bring the cost down! I have read other reviews on this hotel, with regards to the 'Fees' and the hotel management state they will make the fees 'clearer'. But in my view, they haven't. Tempo... please add a specific/official article in your hotel description regarding fees - it has to be made crystal clear to guests. Apparently, the security deposit is returned - assuming there is no damage to your room. The rest of our stay was great! Room was small/snug ... but perfectly adequate and spotless. Bed was very comfy. The bathrooms are amazing!! Will be remodelling my bathroom on the Tempo design. Cleaning staff are lovely!! We would have loved to have breakfast, or lunch/dinner and drinks at the hotel - but the prices are extorniate, which is a shame... as that alienates guests from using the facilities. Another point I will make, the entrance doors to the hotel are large, heavy wooden doors - difficult to open and you can't see who is on the other side, so people end up walking into each other. Maybe add a revolving door instead? Would I stay again? Yes. 😊 Thanks for a lovely break Tempo. Read less
