    A 5-day couples city break for our 30th birthday celebrations. This hotel and the staff were incredible in a very stressful situation when our flight to New York was cancelled due to the fire at Heathrow. The hotel were expecting us the same day, but after reaching Heathrow at 5am, we were made privy to the news the airport was shut and our flight was cancelled. After phone calls and emails to the hotel, they were able to accommodate us with their last room, 4 days later, with no additional costs incurred. The check in process was very quick and easy, and they also allowed us access to our room 2 hours prior to official check in, which was ideal after a long time travelling with our heavy bags. Our room was small, but we were fully aware of this prior to booking. The room was clean, had everything we needed, extremely quiet, beautifully made up every day and incredible views. The amenities in this hotel were great, we made use of the rooftop bar on a few occasions, but it also had a restaurant and cocktail lounge. The WiFi was free and quick, and we made use of the free luggage storage after we’d checked out on our last day. The location of the hotel was spot on, felt very safe and could locate a subway station within a few minutes and walk to Times Square in 10 minutes. I’ll be recommending this hotel to friends and family planning a trip in the future. Read less

    If you are currently reading this review, you have gone too far and should already be on the booking page typing in your credit card details. Stop, turn around, and go! In all seriousness, I had one of THE most magical experiences here in NYC/Manhattan. An experience that will truly stand out & that I will not forget. This establishment has carved out a distinctive experience within a bustling & saturated area. I wish the CIVILIAN many more unforgettable decades of success. Every interaction and conversation with the staff was positive, warm, and helpful. I am so glad for the guidance and great tips from the entire staff. I reached out to the concierge and was given a thoughtful, detailed, and informative itinerary that guided me to find some amazing little nooks and crannies throughout the city. The decorations and themes throughout the hotel were one of a kind, and if you are there to experience the shows on Broadway this place is a must. It brings old New York artistic charm to the forefront and delivers beautifully. It even has a great connection to a local gym that keeps you fit between pizza slices and morning bagels. So thankful to have found this spot and can't wait for my next visit! Read less

    Friendly staff who are always happy to help with any questions. Great location for broadway shows, subway stations to all the main sites and just far enough from time square. Lovely room, enough space, nice bathroom and everything you need for your stay.
