“I found this hotel to be a standout for its prime Midtown location, placing guests within easy reach of Times Square and the Theater District. The inclusion of a substantial breakfast buffet is a notable perk, especially for families or those wanting a convenient start to their day. It's a modern, clean option that I'd recommend, particularly if a central base is a priority.”

Feedback about Riu Plaza New York Times Square from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Riu Plaza New York Times Square is frequently praised for its unbeatable location, just steps away from Broadway and Times Square, placing guests right in the heart of the action. Many appreciate the modern and clean rooms, finding them very comfortable after a long day exploring. The breakfast buffet is generally considered a plus, with a good variety of options available; however, it can get quite busy. While most guests find the rooms spacious, some have noted that the beds are on the smaller side.

perfect location and great service

complimentary champagne great location excellent breakfast fast elevator
i really valued the complimentary champagne sent to our room. it was such a thoughtful gesture celebrating our anniversary! the hotel's location near attractions helped save money on transportation. i also found the breakfast offerings excellent, with a wide variety of options. the elevator service felt fast, even from the 22nd floor.
I could have used a bit more privacy in the bathroom. The design offered limited separation.

decent stay, some issues

excellent breakfast fast elevator opaque glass bathroom doors third bottle water
The hotel location is super convenient. it is near several key attractions. the breakfast was excellent. The options were very varied. i also loved the fast elevator service!
The bathroom doors were not private at all! they were made of opaque glass, i could see silhouettes. also, there was a large gap around the barn-style door. i was also very frustrated that they would not give me a third bottle of water. They wanted me to buy it! it was a small thing but it started my stay off on a negative note!
