    Great hotel. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and definitely big enough for two people. The location is excellent - walking distance to a lot of attractions and easy to get to other parts of the city via the subway. There are also a lot of great restaurants and takeaway options nearby. And of course, the hotel is right in the Theater District, so it's perfect if you plan to see a Broadway show.

    Nothing

    Great hotel in a superb location. Nice rooms, comfortable beds, clean and spacious bathroom. I saw some reviews about the noise from the rooftop bar - we were on the 21st floor and there was nothing we could hear.

    Heating overall was almost non-existent, no matter how high temperature I put in the thermostat, it did not produce warm air, it was rather just circulating room temperature. It did not bother me too much as I have not stayed long enough, but I did have to put on a lot of clothes to stay warm when inside the room. Also, when I was leaving I asked the receptionist to help me order a taxi through an app which usually works for me on my phone but then it was not working. She asked me to pay for her to help me with getting a cab through their app, or I can go and try to catch one on the street, in heavy snowfall. I think it was a petty thing to do, asking for payment for a small kindness like this, not to mention when I did not find a cab outside straight away, her colleague helped me with the app, totally free, in the name of hospitality, which, tbh something that I would expect as a minimum.

    This was a past minute booking as I was held up at customs at JFK and was unable to catch my connecting flight. I only stayed 1 night.The hotel is in a very good location, quiet street, relatively close to everything. What I liked the most was the view from the room, that was perfect and also the room was pretty quiet as well. I travelled alone so the size of the room was ok, as I also have not really unpacked,but for a couple it is definitely considered small. I also liked the style of the room and the hotel.

    We booked the small room. It was a bit to small for myself, my 6"4 husband, our luggage and my disability stuff. But I do have to travel with a lot of stuff

    Nice decor with a good space saving layout. The staff were brilliant and the room was clean.

    The only thing I didn’t like and this does not pertain directly to the property, was that their was a night in which thief was a rooftop event and the bouncer at the front was rude about which way guests should enter the facility. I as a guest came up from the pathways of rooftop guest and asked “oh what if you’re a hotel guest?” And the bouncer just rudely said “next time use the next entrance” and let us in. I was unaware of any other entrance and found that a bit rude from his part as I should have more priority then rooftop guests at the hotel I am staying at. But other than that. The Hotel staff, location and property were excellent

    I loved the quality of service i received. The staff at civilian is stellar. They anticipate all of your needs and are ready to accommodate any need or want one may request. One of the best services i have ever received at a hotel. The property is also very clean and nice designed.

    Nothing, well maybe there is not too much place to put away things. Hangers would have been practical. Coffee and tea and minifridge would have been nice

    Ideal situation, near Time square but quiet, near 50th metro station, Port authority bus station. Walkable distance from Broadway theatres, safe for female traveller, amiable staff. For a quiet room with nice view, better choose one on upper floor, away from elevator, few floors beneath the rooftop club. Very clean and nicely decorated room. Bed very comfy. I had room 2307, on 23rd floor. Love to have a steamer available to unwrinkle my clothings. Hotel offers basic service (without daily, cleaning). If you want daily cleaning, choose all inclusive services it will cost more. Being tidy and having short stay, I had basic, if needed it’s 15$ extra for cleaning. Possible to have a very early check-in for 120$ extra or they can keep your luggage until your room is ready. Mini grocery nearby on 8th Ave. Excellent choice if you come to NYC to see shows! Wine, cocktail, coffee time was nice.

    The room was small for two people but nicely decorated and it's kind of what you expect in New York.

    We stayed here for my 30th birthday and the staff were so kind, even leaving a lovely birthday message in the room and some Prosecco! The hotel decor and atmosphere is really nice and inviting, we didn't get a chance to try out the rooftop bar or cocktail room but they looked great!

    It was tiny which is expected in NYC. They did a really good job to maximize the space the best they could I only wish there was a little space on the side of the bed for a table or something. The side of the bed was just about pushed right against the wall

    It was so close to time square and walking distance to a lot of the tourist spots (Central Park, Museum of Natural History, Rockefeller Center, Time Square etc)

    The only drawback is the lack of space to repack and wait for a taxi. We had an evening flight to Europe and when picking up our luggage we couldn't open our suitcases freely to pack our last purchases and change clothes for the trip. We had to do it in the ground floor corridor between the bathroom and the social rooms.

    Hotel in a very good location, with nice decor, two bars and a restaurant. The room is small but sufficient, well designed. A nice touch is free coffee in the morning and drinking water always available on every floor. Overall we are pleased with our stay.
