    Exceptional: The Riu Plaza New York Times Square is surrounded by iconic sites like Central Park and Rockefeller Center. I felt like a VIP with the preferential guest card. Such a privilege to enjoy the pace of New York life, exactly what I was looking for.

    During my transit in New York, I stayed at the Riu Plaza, which was conveniently located within a 10-minute walk of the Majestic Theater, Broadway, and Times Square. the hotel's proximity to LaGuardia Airport, only 15 km away, made it a convenient choice for my travel plans.

    I encountered a minor inconvenience during my stay at the Riu Plaza. The bathroom privacy was compromised due to a gap in the barn door, which allowed a direct view of the commode.

    During my business trip to New York, my director chose the Riu Plaza for our stay, and I must say it was a wonderful choice. The hotel's fitness center was well-equipped and allowed me to squeeze in a workout before my meetings. It was a great way to start my day, and I really enjoyed the convenience of having this facility right in the hotel. The fitness center definitely enhanced my stay, and I appreciated the opportunity to stay active while traveling.

    Delay in receiving requested items.

    I couldn’t have anything bad to say about our stay. We stayed for 2 nights and decided to check-in early. The hotel accommodated us and let us choose our room in one of the top floors. Breakfast is included and there are plenty of spaces to sit down and enjoy it. The location is amazing, just one block away from Times Square and surrounded by good restaurants, stores, and pharmacies. Even though the area is busy, you don't hear any noise. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone, solo or with family.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more!

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location couldn't have been more convenient, right at Times Square. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, willing to make extra accommodations for me and my baby. The breakfast was simply amazing, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. The room itself was perfect, with a comfortable bed and a cute shower. I felt really safe here with the use of the room card to access the elevator. Plus, the hotel is eco friendly, which is a great bonus.

    I highly recommend this hotel to families looking for a quality stay.

    Great location near Times Square and other tourist spots. Staff was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the free breakfast and the variety of options available. The hotel was clean and well-maintained.

    The rooms were smaller than expected, lacking a sofa or armchair. The bathroom setup was odd, with a frosted glass screen that didn't offer much privacy.

    The Riu Plaza in New York City offers amazing views from the terrace and a fitness center within a 10-minute walk of Broadway and Times Square. The room with 2 queen beds provided a comfortable stay with a lovely large bed and a sofa bed, making it perfect for families.

    The absence of cribs and the design of the windows without child safety features were concerning for a family stay. issues with noise disturbance from other guests were not effectively addressed by the management.

    We had a great experience at Riu Plaza during our stay in New York. The hotel was brand new and we were the first guests in our room. It was definitely good value for money. The staff was helpful and we found the location to be convenient, within walking distance to many shops, subway stations, and attractions like Times Square. We especially appreciated the free coffee at the lobby, a nice touch to start our day.

    Couldn't fault 🤷‍♀️.

    The rooms at Riu Plaza New York Times Square are just what I needed for a comfy stay. The mini refrigerator and flat-screen TV made it feel like home away from home. Plus, the free toiletries in the private bathroom were a nice touch.

    Some may find the central air conditioning a tad loud, but it didn't bother me much.

    The hotel is conveniently located near Times Square, making it easy to walk to all the major attractions. It is also close to restaurants and shops, making it a great location for exploring the city. The hotel offers a car service to the airport for a flat fee of $75, providing a comfortable and convenient way to travel.

    The breakfast area can be crowded and the tables are closely packed together, creating a lack of space and privacy. The food replenishment can be slow, leading to long wait times for a full breakfast.

    We appreciated the pleasant welcome of the staff, and especially the location of the hotel, very close to Times Square. We were able to reach a lot of sites on foot (20mn from Central Park, MOMA, Rockefeller Center). The view from the rooms (bay windows) is sensational!

    The room (Deluxe Queen, then Deluxe King), really small. The bathroom, which closes with a sliding door (limited privacy). The breakfast room, very busy and very noisy (it feels like a train station hall :(

    The extraordinary location of this hotel allowed me to indulge in the authentic pace of New York life. It's as if the hotel is a cultural and leisure hub with a bustling city built around it. Walking distance to Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue felt like having all the best attractions in my own backyard.

    We had a fantastic stay at Riu Plaza. The location was perfect, just a couple of blocks away from Times Square, which meant it was less crowded and chaotic. The staff were exceptional, always friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered for an extended period in the morning. Our room was elegant, new, and beautifully designed. We were even given a free upgrade to a larger room upon arrival. The cleanliness of the room was top-notch, and the view from the top floor was stunning. we were impressed with the service and amenities provided by Riu Plaza.

    Everything was great.

    What a great find in an awesome location! I loved the sleek design of the bedroom and bathroom. The shelf under the sink was a smart storage solution. The complementary breakfast offered a variety of fresh options. The bar adjacent to the lobby was very relaxing. The elevators were fast, even on the 27th floor with a great view of the Hudson River.

    Very nice hotel, well located, close to Times Square and transport. Super full breakfast. Room with magnificent view on the 30th floor. Friendly staff, from maids to receptionists, baggage handlers and restaurant staff. I will definitely be back! I will definitely be back! I won't put 20/20 but 16/20, I leave room for perfectionism.

    Everything was fine.

    If the staff is friendly, the facility is not my favorite NYC facility. Too much volume, sanitized, the room is cold so not friendly to my taste. The breakfast room is ultra noisy, and there queue stagnates in front of the elevators...in short a not very gentle awakening...too many people! Nice bathroom, too bad that its light wakes up those who are sleeping...the wardrobe has no shelves, only hangers...not very practical to put away your things.

    Nothing very intimate.

    Situated next to the iconic Broadway theatres, our family enjoyed the vibrant energy and easy access to top-notch performances. Exploring Madison Square Garden, we savored the electric atmosphere at a live sporting event, making unforgettable memories. The hotel's prime location added an exciting dimension to our family trip, with every moment filled with captivating entertainment.

    My kids wished for a more extensive variety of children's entertainment options, ensuring a more well-rounded family experience.

    I chose this hotel for attending a vendor expo because it provides a range of amenities essential for business travelers, including wireless Internet access, a business center, conference rooms, and dry cleaning/laundry services. The gym and meeting rooms were also convenient for staying productive during my stay.

    The one service that I missed for my work was the availability of ironing boards. It would have been helpful to have ironing boards readily accessible in the rooms for quick touch-ups before business meetings.

    It's smack bang next to all the lit Broadway theatres, we felt like we were right in the action! And bruh, we checked out a game at Madison Square Garden, it was wild! The hotel was super clean and the staff were totally cool too.

    The only thing we'd ask for is a cooler rooftop party scene at the hotel. Like, a rooftop bar or club for us young squad to turn up would've been dope!
