My daughter and I arrived midafternoon and had an easy checkin. The clerk neglected to inform us that we had to put our key in a special spot to get the electricity to come on. The beds were very comfortable but also were pushed together which seemed odd. The shower had great pressure and plenty of space but the shaded glass walls were an odd choice. Overall we really liked it and would stay there again.

Disappointing Stay – Will Not Return Unfortunately, our experience at Riu Times Square was very disappointing. The hotel felt cheap and extremely loud, making it hard to relax. The front desk staff were surprisingly rude and unhelpful throughout our stay. Definitely not the experience we expected. We will not be returning.

Poor experience at breakfast every morning. Didn’t matter what time you arrived there were huge queues. Not an enjoyable experience. There was a very strong smell of cat urine on level 9. Lengthy queues for the lifts every time. Disappointing that there are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Overall an average experience which is disappointing and the hotel is beautiful and in a great location.

Skip it. Go anywhere else.

The air conditioning did not work. The bath and facial tissue was so thin it fell apart. The shower was impossible and leaked everywhere. We were told we could change rooms at inconvenient times that we would be out in the city. No effort was made to correct this miserable overpriced experience. The TV randomly came in at all hours while we were sleeping.
