    Great place!

    I will stay at Riu TS every time I visit NYC! Location was great, within easy walking/subway to everything we wanted to see. The hotel is beautiful and rooms are spacious and spotless! The breakfast buffet can’t be beat! Love this place

    Excellent stay and location

    We had an excellent stay here for four nights. The hotel is in fantastic location for walking to lots of central attractions with great subway links to other attractions and outlying areas. The rooms are a good size with a great comfortable bed and pillows, the bathroom has a walk in shower and wardrobe space is good with enough coat hangers for a short stay. This is NY so expect street noise especially the subway and fire house on 8th Ave. Breakfast is very good with lots of choice and sets you up for the day. It can be a bit chaotic at busy times with queues but they do move quickly. The staff are well rehearsed and run it like clockwork. Gluten free options are available. The biggest problem is trying to get a lift down for breakfast, six lifts but you can wait a while and usually when they do arrive they are full! Getting back up isn’t an issue. Check in and out was smooth and again well managed. Would I recommend this hotel? Most definitely.

    Nice stay

    Riu Plaza New York Times Square offers a deluxe room that’s fairly compact with limited storage space. The breakfast area has a slight cafeteria feel, but the friendly staff and top location more than make up for it. Overall, great value for money in the heart of Manhattan.

    Excellent stay in NYC

    My husband and I spent six wonderful nights at the RIU Plaza NY Times Square recently. The location on W 46th St is ideal for walking to restaurants on Restaurant Row and elsewhere and to all the Broadway theatres. And the vast buffet breakfast never disappoints! We always stay at the RIU when we're in Manhattan. Love it!

    Comfortable, clean, and friendly

    The hotel was pleasant and clean. A little slow checking in, not sure why, as everything was paid for in advance.
