What guests think

At Hampton Inn Manhattan/Times Square South, travellers praise the central, walkable location and consistently friendly staff, especially at breakfast, while noting very small, dated rooms and major elevator bottlenecks that cause long waits and occasional outages.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many found rooms tidy, but others reported musty odors, stained linens, pests, and worn towels. Complimentary breakfast is widely appreciated, with waffles a highlight, though seating is limited and the area can feel crowded. Expect a no-frills, centrally located stay with convenience offset by notable operational frustrations.

Property very central - felt safe. Breakfast good but space is limited. Ask for a low floor so you can easily utilise stairs as can be waiting for lifts a long time. We would stay again.

Location is very good and easy to reach with the subway. Overall the Hotel needs some investments in renovation (painting, carpet, chairs/table breakfast room, etc.) 2 elevators for a 32 floor high hotel is not enough, long waiting time. Space for the breakfast room is too small, sometimes you have to wait 10 minutes or leave without breakfast,

This hotel is older and in need of an update. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable but the rooms and public spaces were quite small. The staff was also nice when checking in. However the elevators are terrible. There are only 2 and they have a limit of 6 people per elevator. The wait times, especially at busy times, were long. On the first morning of our stay, we got stuck in the elevator. The call button in the elevator didn’t work and there is zero cell service so we couldn’t call anyone to help. It got very warm very quickly. Luckily we were only stuck for about 10 minutes but it was enough to traumatize my daughter. Once it started working, we arrived at the ground floor and one of the staff (presumably the manager) was upset with us because 8 people were in the elevator (people pushed in not seeing the limit sign). He didn’t ask if we were ok, just got mad. We ended up checking out and going to another hotel.

We arrived at around 12PM, the room wasn’t ready which is fine since the check-in was at 3PM, and the employee told us she was going to contact housekeeping so the room would be ready when we came back. We return to the hotel at 3PM and the room still wasn’t ready and that they were going to contact housekeeping to give our room priority. We wait in the lobby and they still don’t call us, I ask again a half an hour later and the room still wasn’t ready. I ask an hour later, the room still isn’t ready. My parter goes and asks an hour and a half later and the room is magically ready. They gave us a room but never offered us anything for the inconvenience, they were giving everyone small gift bags except for us. We arrive to the door of the room and it didn’t open with one of our cards. As for the room, it had sort of a musty smell to it. Housekeeping came and only fixed the bed and put new towels, no vacuum or anything. The bathroom was dirty. Check-out was easy, we were offered a ride to the airport for a more affordable price than Uber and Lyft, but there was no information about that in the hotel or website. We asked if they had a card or pamphlet but the employee said there wasn’t any, that the service was directly with him. We preferred a more reliable service and we went with Lyft. I never had such a bad experience in a hotel.

The hotel is in a convenient location and the staff were friendly enough. However, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The hotel itself is quite small, and breakfast felt chaotic — more of a free-for-all than a relaxed start to the day. The most concerning issue occurred on our first night. After checking in and spending the day exploring New York, we returned to the room only to discover blood on the quilt when getting into bed. This was completely unacceptable and understandably made us feel uncomfortable for the remainder of the trip. It’s a real shame, as this could have been a decent stay, but cleanliness and attention to detail are basic expectations that were not met

Stayed at this hotel last night and had a horrible experience when we first arrived, the room smelled like dirty wet, laundry, my 10 year-old daughter woke up from her nap she found a blood stain under the sheets. They clearly had not been changed from the previous guest. Upon entering the bathroom, I found a rapper to a pad which clearly means they hadn’t even taken out the trash. The staff was OK. It came right up and changed the bedding the next morning when I went to the front desk to check out and let them know how disappointed I was I was given a half ass solution. not only why I never return to this hotel but I would recommend everyone not to as well.

Awful hotel dirty and shabby. Our first room we got i pulled out the sofa bed for the kids abd it was soaked in urine and faeces and dirt. Compelty wet. The room smelt so bad. I was horrified and went straight to receptions. We got a new room. Also unclean but didnt have choice. Breakfast not good. All single use cutlery and plates no eco considerations at all. The worst hotel ive stayed in new york. Pictures make it look so much nicer. More like a hostel. So run down.

Excellent, friendly staff; especially the hard-working cleaners and service workers. Room a little small, but very clean and met all our needs. Lovely shower! Breakfast was a welcome plus and good coffee. All the plastic (cups, cutlery, etc.) was a bit concerning but is hopefully recycled. Being so centrally located was the best thing and we would not hesitate to stay here again. 6 minute walk to big subway/bus station. I felt safe and had no issues the whole stay. PS, the daily fresh cookies were a great idea and wonderful treat! :)

This hotel is a perfect location for a 2-day mid-week getaway. The rooms are rather small for two people and a few adjustments could be made to the room itself -- more hangers in closet, sturdier plug-ins for electronics, couldn't turn on tv (though we wouldn't have watched it anyway), move bathroom mirror up an inch or two bc impossible to use the faucet without hitting the bottom of the mirror. Those are the only negatives. The staff was all super friendly and efficient. Front desk girl very accommodating when we arrived early. Not only is breakfast hot, fresh and tasty, but staff makes and serves waffles direct to your table. Lots of little amenities like coffee, tea and cookies in lobby make it feel homey. And decent price (under $500/night) was what we were expecting.

**A Hidden Gem in the Heart of NYC!** The Hampton Inn Manhattan is truly a treasure in the middle of New York City. From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Both the team members who handled our check-in and check-out were professional, friendly, and demonstrated outstanding customer service. A special shoutout to the gentleman managing breakfast on the morning of the 12th—his cheerful attitude and attentiveness stood out. He made sure everyone felt welcome and got exactly what they needed. This kind of service makes a stay memorable. Highly recommended!

I'm not one to normally leave reviews, but my experience at the Hampton Inn Times Square South was very unsatisfactory. I was awoken around 7am on my first day by someone pounding on my door and yelling at me to come downstairs immediately. They claimed the room did not belong to me and I needed to come to the lobby. This was terrifying. I couldn't tell if it was actually an employee so I refused to open the door for safety reasons. I called the front desk a multitude of times while this was happening to confirm the person actually worked for the hotel, but no one answered. After an hour of them yelling at me and threatening to call the police, I gave them my ID and they went downstairs. Sure enough, the room did indeed belong to me. The whole experience made me feel very unsafe and it was completely unwarranted. I checked in at the front desk the day before and received a room key to that exact room, so there should have been no reason they claimed the room wasn't mine. The whole rest of the trip I felt uncomfortable going back to my room out of fear that there would be another similar issue. If I were you, I'd avoid this hotel and look for something else.

Others complain of slow elevators but don't let that put you off, it only held us up once at 945am when lots of people were checking out. We waited 9 minutes during this peak time, otherwise in 3 days we had no waiting at all. I would stay there again.

It was ok. The clothes iron didn’t work and I had an 8pm appointment. I called the front desk and requested one after 7. I ended up being late trying to wait for it…still hadn’t arrived when I left after 8. After 8:30 maybe 9 when I was already out is when I got a message that one was going to be brought up, I let them know I didn’t need it anymore but someone came and left one on my suitcase anyway.

Good location, down just off the Main Street and very easy walk to Times Square. Check the hotel address before you go in your cab from the airport - another hotel really close by with the same name and the taxi took us to that one. Had to walk round the corner and saw several people over the course of our stay doing the same walk. Rooms are fine, but not fancy/spacious. Budget accommodation of course so can’t complain with that. Staff were helpful, couldn’t fault them. Breakfast area is small and gets very busy. Have breakfast before 8:30 - we grabbed plates and ate in our room as tables usually full. Pretty good selection of food, couple of hot items, cereal, fruit, bread, yoghurt. The lifts get busy at that time too - we were quicker taking the stairs, but were only 4th floor so not suitable for all. No view from the room sadly(side of another building). Maybe higher floors do but I couldn’t say. Room had a fridge, iron and coffee maker. I’d happily stay again, albeit definitely scope for a good clean and upgrade. Done the job we needed though. :)

Breakfast was decent and a wonderfully friendly attendant making waffles if you wanted them! Only 2 lifts serving a large number of rooms, so at times the wait could be quite long and frustrating, especially if you were on a higher floor and didn't feel like walking 20+ floors.

Excellent hotel in a great location. Close from Time Square and the Theatre District. Quiet at night (but the noise from the streets might've been drowned out with the a/c noise in the room). Clean room, quick service. We didn't eat breakfast there, but the selections seemed really great just like other Hampton Inn hotels I've stayed at. The dining area seems VERY full though. It would've been hard to find a table for us, if we did want to eat there. The only thing I wasn't too happy about was the elevator service. During the rush hour in the morning, the elevator would come by all full, so we had to wait almost 10 min to be able to get on it. And once we were on the elevator, it would of course stop at every floor even though it was already full because practically everybody is waiting for the elevator to come, so it takes another 5 min or more to get to the ground level. So make sure to have lots of time in the morning to get out of the building...

Plenty of hot and cold options. Highlight was the freshly cooked waffle and the lovely man who made them for us (unfortunately I didn't ask his name) He greeted everyone in the mornings with a smile. The room and the bathroom were clean. We were very happy with our 4 night stay.
