The hype
Travelers are consistently shocked by how quiet the rooms are given the location.
Hilton New York Times Square
$350-550/ nacht
Boek dit als You want to be smack in the middle of Times Square chaos but sleep in dead silence 21 floors above it.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Sky Lobby on the 21st floor creates a literal buffer from street noise
- Rooms are surprisingly large for NYC (starting at 330 sq ft)
- The secret 41st Street entrance lets you dodge the main tourist crush
Snel Overzicht: A reliable, quiet fortress of solitude floating above the most annoying street in America.
Beoordeeld door @marianvela: I booked this room specifically for the view and it didn't disappoint. There's something magical about sitting in the dark watching the chaos of Times Square below. The room itself is standard, but that window makes it unforgettable. Definitely ask for a high floor!

Reality check
The breakfast buffet is decent but overpriced (~$60/adult) if you don't have Hilton Honors status credits.
- You are seeing a Broadway show and want to walk home in 3 minutes
- You are a light sleeper who usually hates NYC noise
- You need a room with actual floor space for luggage
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is standard. Reviews consistently praise the 'fresh' feel of the rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some grout lines show the building's age (built 2000).
- Maintenance: Good condition overall; lobby and some rooms refreshed recently.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton crisp white linens; towels are plentiful but not luxury plush.
- Odors & scents: Neutral. No heavy perfumes, and thankfully no street smells reach the rooms.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten

- Kids under 18 stay free in existing bedding.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Earplugs (just in case of hallway noise)

Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes

“I would love a high-floor room (30+) away from the elevators. If a Corner King is available for upgrade, that is my preference for the views.”

Is there a free breakfast?
No. It's a buffet at 'High Rise' (~$60/adult), though Gold/Diamond members get a daily food & beverage credit.
How bad is the street noise?
Surprisingly non-existent. Since the lowest guest room is on the 22nd floor, you are well above the honking.
Is there a pool?
No pool. There is a 24-hour fitness center on the 22nd floor with skyline views.
Can I store my bags before check-in?
Yes, the bell desk on the ground floor (street level) handles luggage so you don't have to haul it up to the lobby.
What is the destination fee?
Approx. $40.16/night. Includes premium Wi-Fi, a $10 daily food credit (restrictions apply), and a $20 beverage credit.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, for a fee of ~$75 per night (2 dogs max, 75 lbs limit).
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Use the 41st Street entrance (between 7th and 8th Ave) to avoid the Madame Tussauds crowds on 42nd.
- ✨
The 'Long Acre Market' grab-and-go prices are high; walk 2 mins to a bodega for water/snacks.
- ✨
Ask for a room ending in '02' or '23' for potential corner views (subject to floor plan changes).
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The ground floor entrance smells like Subway (the sandwich shop) sometimes.
💡You can see the New Year's Eve ball drop from very specific high-floor rooms (book a year in advance).
💡The 'High Rise' restaurant closes after breakfast; it's not a dinner spot.
💡The elevators have no AC in the shaft, so they can get stuffy in July.
💡Security checks room keys at the street level after 10pm, which adds a layer of safety.
