The Time New York, part of JdV by Hyatt Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Time New York, part of JdV by Hyatt, you immediately sense this four-star property has something different going on. The lobby feels more like a sophisticated friend’s apartment than a typical Midtown hotel — there’s this understated elegance that doesn’t try too hard. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Times Square madness, but somehow this place manages to feel like a calm refuge from all that chaos outside on West 49th Street.

Location That Actually Makes Sense

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s ridiculously good, and the 9.3 location score totally backs that up. You’re a two-minute walk from Times Square if you want the full tourist experience, but you’re also close enough to Hell’s Kitchen‘s amazing restaurant scene that you don’t have to eat overpriced theme restaurant food. The subway access is honestly perfect, with multiple lines within easy walking distance. Couples especially seem to get this — they rated the location 9.3 for romantic trips, probably because you can easily hop between Broadway shows, rooftop bars, and those little intimate spots that make New York special.

The Rooms

The rooms at The Time New York are where this place really shines, and I get why guests rave about the beds. After walking around Manhattan all day, you actually want to collapse into something comfortable — and these beds deliver on that promise. The rooms themselves have this modern, clean aesthetic that feels more boutique than corporate chain. You know what I appreciate? The windows actually block out most of the street noise, which is no small feat when you’re this close to the action in Midtown.

Morning Fuel

The continental breakfast situation is pretty straightforward — nothing fancy, but it gets the job done when you want to grab something quick before heading out to explore. Honestly, with this location, you’re probably going to want to venture out and try one of the countless breakfast spots nearby anyway. There’s something to be said for having the option though, especially when you’re dealing with jet lag or just want to ease into your New York morning without immediately diving into the street-level energy.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about The Time New York is how it balances being right in the thick of everything while still feeling like a proper retreat. You get that prime Midtown location without the sterile corporate hotel vibe that usually comes with it. The staff seems to understand that travelers want genuine recommendations, not just the standard tourist traps. Plus, there’s something refreshing about a hotel that doesn’t oversell itself — it just quietly does everything well, from those comfortable beds to the seamless check-in process that gets you out exploring the city faster.

  Localization. Very nice pillows!

• John from United States (7/10)

  This is a really nice property. It has an intimate feel and despite being close to theatres, it is quiet. The room was small, but functional. Because we were traveling for business, the housekeeper gladly provided us with additional hangers. The toiletries in the bathroom were great and the room was very clean. This hotel is close to everything ! On the first morning we were foraging for coffee and the bellman walked us to a great bakery close by. The bar serves wine and cheese at 5 pm which was a nice perk. It has great lounge seating and an overall amazing feel. The staff really takes this hotel to a higher level. They were very friendly and always helpful.

• J from Cayman Islands (9/10)

  Quick and Easy checkin, Small but quiet and comfortable room.
  This hotel is just a few steps from Time Square.

• Arzu from Azerbaijan (8/10)

  The location of the hotel is incredible. Probably one of the best streets near Times Square. The street is safe enough even for walking at night. We are glad that we chose this hotel. It is located right opposite Chicago Musical. On the day of our arrival, this street was closed and the taxi could not drive directly to the hotel, it stopped 30-40 meters away, since that day a movie was being filmed in front of the hotel. The hotel rooms have quite an interesting design. Our group of three people booked two rooms and we asked to place the rooms next to each other if possible. When we entered our rooms, one of the rooms had a damp smell and we had to go back to the reception and ask for a change. There were no free rooms at that time and we had to wait an additional two hours to get a room. As a result, the rooms were on different floors, but this was not a problem for us because the elevators in the hotel are very fast. I want to note that the hotel reception is very responsive and tries to satisfy all requests, especially the woman from India.
