Los hoteles en Manhattan son locamente caros — es normal ver habitaciones de cuatro estrellas a $400 o $600 la noche y pensar que lo leíste mal. Pero la contrapartida es que estás a distancia caminando de Times Square, Central Park, el Empire State, el MoMA y la 5ª Avenida, con un metro que funciona las 24 horas y te lleva a cualquier punto por debajo de la calle 96 en 20 minutos. Quedarse en el centro es, honestamente, la única opción. Revisamos 10 hoteles en Midtown que realmente valdría la pena reservar. Opciones con diseño destacado como citizenM Times Square (puntuación 9.0, espectacular bar en la azotea cloudM Bar) y MOXY NYC con su Magic Hour rooftop bar y minigolf con vistas al Empire State. Hyatt Place y Riu Plaza para habitaciones más amplias con desayuno incluido. Pod Times Square y Pod 39 si buscas micro-habitaciones en ubicación inmejorable. Además, el Hotel Edison de 1931 con habitaciones Quad de verdad para familias de 4 a 6 personas, y el Hilton Garden Inn 35th con vistas al Empire State. Todo a poca distancia de un nodo de metro.

No. 1 #1 modern design · Times Square · score 9.0 ★9 CitizenM New York Times Square
📍 On 8th Avenue, a 2-minute walk to Times Square and the A/C/E/N/Q/R/W subway lines
citizenM New York Times Square is the Manhattan outpost of a Dutch chain built around one idea: affordable luxury. The rooms run compact at roughly 15-18 sqm, but every detail is worked out — a MoodPad tablet runs the lights, curtains, temperature and TV, a wall-width king bed fills the room, and there's a rain shower set apart from the bathroom. The real draw is upstairs: the cloudM Bar rooftop terrace, open all day with skyline views and a bar that runs late. Reviews land it at 9.0/10 on Booking.com and 9.2 on Agoda — the highest score in Manhattan's 4-star tier. Rates start around $271 a night, and Times Square is a 2-minute walk out the door. For couples and design-minded travelers, it's the standout at this price.
- Dutch design down to the last detail
- Rooftop cloudM Bar with skyline views
- 2-minute walk to Times Square
- Compact rooms, tight for big families
- No large lobby like a chain hotel

No. 2 #2 social-style Marriott · Magic Hour Rooftop ★8.2 MOXY NYC Times Square
📍 Corner of 7th Avenue and 36th Street in Midtown; an 8-minute walk to Times Square, 5 minutes to Penn Station and Macy's Herald Square
MOXY NYC Times Square is Marriott's social hotel brand — heavy on design, with playful common areas and the Magic Hour Rooftop, a bar that looks straight at the Empire State Building and throws in a mini-golf course that has become one of Manhattan's favorite photo spots. It scores 8.2/10 on Booking.com and 8.4 on Agoda, sits on the corner of 7th Avenue and 36th Street, and is an 8-minute walk to Times Square with Penn Station and Macy's Herald Square about 5 minutes away. Rooms run a compact 16-20 sqm in true MOXY fashion, trading floor space for a lobby that doubles as a cafe-bar. Rates start around $243 a night. It's a great fit for couples and groups of friends who want a buzzy, social vibe and like banking Marriott Bonvoy points along the way.
- Magic Hour Rooftop with Empire State views
- Marriott chain — earn Bonvoy points
- Modern social design throughout
- Compact 16-20 sqm rooms
- Buzzy common areas get loud at night

No. 3 #3 best value · 7 minutes from Times Square ★8.4 Pod Times Square
📍 On 9th Avenue in Midtown, a 7-minute walk to Times Square and close to the A/C/E subway station.
Pod Times Square is New York's Pod Hotels chain doing the one thing Manhattan rarely manages — a clean, central room you can actually afford. The pods are small but smartly designed in bright grey, yellow and red, sleeping 1 to 4 people depending on layout, and the rooftop bar The Patio punches well above a 3-star price. Rooms start under $170 a night, which is the headline here: you're a 7-minute walk from Times Square for roughly what a basic chain room costs in a far duller part of town. Guests score it 8.4/10 on Booking.com and 8.7 on Agoda — genuinely high for a 3-star in Midtown. It's the pick for couples and solo travellers who want to be in the thick of it without paying 4-star money, and who don't mind trading floor space for location.
- Rooms from about $165 in the middle of Midtown
- The Patio rooftop bar, covered and heated for winter
- High 8.4 guest score for a 3-star
- Standard Pods are tiny at roughly 8-12 sqm
- Very little room for luggage

No. 4 #4 On the Countdown corner · strong breakfast ★8.5 Riu Plaza New York Times Square
📍 On 46th Street, right on the Times Square Countdown corner, under a 2-minute walk to where the ball drops
Riu Plaza New York Times Square is the Spanish Riu Hotels outpost on 46th Street, and it sits closer to the Times Square Countdown corner than anything else in this article — under a 2-minute walk to the spot where the ball drops on New Year's Eve. It runs 647 rooms done in the brand's signature purple-and-white palette, sized a standard 22-28 sqm with a Queen or Double Twin. The buffet breakfast is the part guests single out — American, continental and lighter options that reviews call the best in this price tier. Guest scores land at 8.5/10 on Booking.com and 8.7 on Agoda, with rates from about $300 a night. It's built for travelers who want Times Square at full volume — step outside and the lights and crowds are right there.
- Closest to the Countdown corner
- Buffet breakfast guests rave about
- High 8.5 guest score
- Lively, noisy around the clock
- Pricier than many options here

No. 5 #5 Pod sibling · Murray Hill ★8.2 Pod 39
📍 Murray Hill on 39th St, a 5-minute walk to Grand Central, near the Empire State Building and Bryant Park
Pod 39 is the quieter sibling of Pod Times Square, sitting in Murray Hill on the eastern edge of Midtown inside a classic red-brick Manhattan building. The 366 pods are compact and finished in the bright yellow-and-grey color scheme that Pod Hotels are known for. The real draw is up top: Salvation Taco, a Mexican bar-restaurant on the roof that serves food alongside views of the Empire State Building and gets busy most nights. Guests score it 8.2/10 on Booking.com and 8.5 on Agoda, with rooms starting around $157 a night — a fair price for this part of Manhattan. The trade-off for the calmer block is distance from the action, but Grand Central is a 5-minute walk away, which puts every neighborhood within easy reach.
- Quieter Murray Hill block
- Salvation Taco, Empire State views
- Good value from $157
- Compact pod rooms, 10-15 sqm
- Times Square needs a train ride

No. 6 #6 Hyatt chain · breakfast included ★7.8 Hyatt Place New York City/Times Square
📍 On 8th Avenue in west Midtown, a 10-minute walk to Times Square and close to the A/C/E subway lines.
Hyatt Place New York City/Times Square is a 4-star Hyatt in west Midtown, and its pitch is simple: rooms that beat the Manhattan size standard at 30-plus square metres, plus breakfast included in the rate — a combination that quietly drops your per-trip spend. It scores 7.8/10 on Booking.com and 8.3 on Agoda, with rates from about $263 a night. You're on 8th Avenue, a 10-minute walk to Times Square and close to the A/C/E subway lines, so the rest of the city is easy to reach. The extra floor space and the free buffet make this an easy call for World of Hyatt members and small families who want more room than a pod hotel hands you.
- Rooms run 30+ sqm — bigger than the Manhattan norm
- Breakfast included in the rate
- Hyatt chain — earns World of Hyatt points
- A 10-minute walk to Times Square
- Sits in a business district, not the tourist core

No. 7 #7 Hilton chain · score 8.6 · near the Empire State Building ★8.6 Hilton Garden Inn New York/Midtown Park Ave
📍 On West 35th Street in the Herald Square district, a 1-minute walk to Macy's Herald Square and 100 metres to the subway
Hilton Garden Inn New York West 35th Street is a 3-star Hilton in the Herald Square district — and it sits just 100 metres from the Herald Square subway station, about as close to a train as you can stand in Midtown. The upper-floor rooms look straight at the Empire State Building, the detail reviewers keep coming back to. It scores 8.6/10 on both Agoda and Booking.com — the highest of any 3-star hotel in this Manhattan roundup, which is the reassurance you want when you're booking a chain. Rooms run 25-28 sqm with a work desk and a Keurig coffee maker, and there's the Garden Grille & Bar downstairs serving all day, though breakfast isn't included in the rate. Rates start around $251 a night. Macy's Herald Square is a one-minute walk and Penn Station is five — for Hilton Honors members and anyone who shops, it earns its spot.
- Score 8.6/10 — highest of the 3-star picks
- Empire State views from the upper floors
- 1-minute walk to Macy's Herald Square
- A 10-minute walk to Times Square
- Breakfast not included in the rate

No. 8 #8 Big family rooms · near Times Square ★7.8 Hotel Edison Times Square
📍 47th St, a 3-minute walk to Times Square and the Broadway theatres
Hotel Edison Times Square has been open continuously since 1931 — 810 rooms in an Art Deco building that sits right in the middle of Times Square, a 3-minute walk from the neon. The thing that's genuinely hard to find here is the room mix: the Quad and Family categories sleep 4 to 6 people in a single room, which makes the per-person price the best in this whole article for a big family or a group of friends. It scores 7.8/10 on both Agoda and Booking.com, and rates start around $223 a night. If your priority is staying steps from the Broadway theatres without paying per head for a second room, this is the pick.
- Quad and Family rooms sleep 4-6
- 3-minute walk to Times Square
- Best per-person value here
- Old building, some dated rooms
- Long lift waits at peak times

No. 9 #9 Marriott chain · 200 metres from Penn Station, breakfast included ★8 📍 35th St, 200 metres from Penn Station and steps from Madison Square Garden
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Manhattan/Times Square South is a 3-star Marriott chain hotel sitting just 200 metres from Penn Station — the closest pick in this article for anyone riding Amtrak or the LIRR. The 244 rooms come in a modern loft style, and breakfast is included in the rate. It scores 8.0/10 on Booking.com and 8.5 on Agoda, with rates from about $214 a night. Times Square is 12 minutes on foot or one train stop away, and Madison Square Garden is right next door. The area around Penn Station is a business district — busy by day, quieter after dark. It suits Marriott Bonvoy members, business travellers, and anyone flying into Newark Liberty who wants a straightforward, well-connected base.
- 200 metres from Penn Station, the closest pick here
- Breakfast included in the rate
- Marriott chain, full Bonvoy perks
- 12 minutes on foot from Times Square
- Business district goes quiet in the evening

No. 10 #10 IHG chain · near 6 subway stations ★7.9 Holiday Inn Express New York City Chelsea
📍 On 29th St in Chelsea, a short walk from Chelsea Market, the High Line and Hudson Yards, and 15 minutes on foot from Times Square.
Holiday Inn Express New York City Chelsea is a 3-star IHG hotel in Chelsea, one of Manhattan's busiest neighbourhoods thanks to Chelsea Market, the High Line and Hudson Yards. Its 228 standard IHG rooms sleep 1 to 4, and a buffet breakfast is folded into the price rather than charged on top. The real draw is the location: 6 subway stations sit within a short walk, so you can reach almost any neighbourhood in the city without much thought. It scores 7.9/10 on Booking.com and 8.1 on Agoda, with rooms starting around $205 a night. This one suits IHG One Rewards members and anyone who wants a reliable base for working through Chelsea and Hudson Yards.
- 6 subway stations within walking distance
- Buffet breakfast included in the rate

Cuál elegir — por estilo de viaje
#1 citizenM is the Dutch-design hotel that makes staying in Manhattan feel new — the rooms are compact, but every square centimetre is worked out, and the rooftop terrace looks straight over the New York skyline.
#2 MOXY is Marriott's fun, social side — big on design and shared space, where the Magic Hour Rooftop and its Empire State-view mini-golf course are what set it apart.
#3 Pod Times Square is the best-value way to stay right by Times Square — compact, brightly designed rooms, with the year-round rooftop bar The Patio lifting the whole stay.
#4 Riu Plaza is the Spanish 4-star chain with the closest Times Square location in this article — and a buffet breakfast reviewers rate as the best in its class.
#5 Pod 39 is the quieter alternative to Pod Times Square over in Murray Hill — the Salvation Taco rooftop bar with its Empire State views is the highlight.
#6 Hyatt Place is a 4-star Hyatt with rooms wider than the Manhattan standard and breakfast in the rate — which makes the all-in number better value than the headline price.
