4-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.8 / 5
YOTEL New York Times Square is a 4-star, design-forward hotel on Tenth Avenue at West 42nd Street, about 0.4 miles from Port Authority Bus Terminal and 0.7 miles from Times Square. The property is known for its minimalist, cabin-style rooms that make efficient use of compact space while still including private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, work desks, and WiFi; select rooms add city views, private terraces, soaking tubs, or sofas, and an upgraded suite features panoramic views, a Peloton bike, and a SONOS sound system. Each guest floor has a communal galley stocked with complimentary drinks, a fridge, and a microwave, supplementing the included continental breakfast. On-site amenities extend to a gym, a lounge, automated luggage storage, and a rooftop terrace that doubles as a restaurant with skyline views. Its Midtown West location puts guests within roughly a kilometer or so of the Intrepid Museum, Bryant Park, Top of the Rock, Rockefeller Center, and MoMA, with Grand Central Terminal, the High Line, and Central Park also reachable in a short ride or walk. The hotel suits travelers who prioritize a central, transit-friendly base and modern amenities over spacious rooms.
Best for
This hotel is best suited to solo travelers, couples, and business visitors who want a stylish, tech-equipped base within walking distance of Times Square, Port Authority, and Midtown's major sights. Its compact but well-equipped rooms, rooftop restaurant, and communal galleys appeal to efficiency-minded guests more than those wanting expansive suites or extensive resort-style facilities.
Travel tips
Port Authority Bus Terminal is about 0.4 miles away, making this a convenient stop-off point for bus travelers, and Times Square itself is a roughly 10-minute walk. Guests should be prepared for compact room sizes typical of the YOTEL brand and may want to plan around elevator wait times during busy periods, as multiple guests have noted congestion. The rooftop terrace restaurant and each floor's complimentary galley are worth using to supplement the included continental breakfast.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the hotel's cleanliness, comfortable beds, and the friendliness of housekeeping staff, along with its convenient Midtown location near Times Square. The rooftop restaurant's food is generally well-regarded, though several reviewers describe its service as slow or inattentive. Recurring complaints include very small room sizes, in-room technology issues such as non-functioning phones, difficulty reaching staff or receiving promised refunds, and crowded elevators during peak times.
