In-Depth Review
Hyatt Place New York City/Times Square is a 4-star Hyatt on 8th Avenue, a 10-minute walk from Times Square. It scores 7.8/10 on Booking.com and 8.3 on Agoda. What sets it apart from the other picks here is the room size — bigger than the Manhattan standard — and breakfast built into the rate.
Rooms and decor
Rooms run 30-plus square metres, clearly larger than the Manhattan hotel norm, with a work desk, a sitting sofa and enough space to actually open your luggage. That makes them a sensible fit for a couple or a small family of three. Bedding is good quality, the bathroom is marble, and guest reviews call the rooms clean and well soundproofed — the kind of room that holds up for a working trip or a multi-night stay. Rates start around $263 a night.
Food and amenities
The included breakfast is the real highlight — a buffet covering American, continental and healthy options that can shave several hundred dollars off the food budget for a family over a trip. The hotel sits in west Midtown, a 10-minute walk to Times Square and close to the A/C/E subway lines. Inside there's a fitness centre and the Gallery Menu bar, open evening into the night.
Location and getting there
You're on 8th Avenue in west Midtown — a 10-minute walk from Times Square, with the A/C/E lines a short walk away to carry you across the city. It's a quieter, more business-leaning pocket than the neighbourhood core, which cuts both ways: calmer at night, but without the round-the-clock energy some travellers come for.
Things to know before booking
Times Square is a 10-minute walk, so this isn't as close as some other options on this list. The setting is a business district, which means the street outside lacks the constant buzz of Times Square itself. And this is a dependable chain hotel rather than a one-of-a-kind stay — great for points and space, less so if you're after character.
Our take
This one is best for World of Hyatt members, business travellers and small families who want more room than a pod hotel gives you. The included breakfast and the extra floor space make the all-in number better value than the headline price suggests. Skip it only if staying right on top of Times Square is the whole point of your trip.
