Hard Rock is the place to stay. It's pricy but for staycation one night if you share expenses is manageable you're in the heart of the tourist environment so it's easy to feel like I'm on vacation. Lunch at the cafe if pricy but awesome. I've tried to go to Hard Rock in many cities. This location holds lots of memories. I'll look for photos and post. I'm definitely recommending. The employees make sure you have a good time. TIP: Make hotel and restaurant reservations in advance! read more

What can you say, Time Square's Hard Rock Cafe is the comfort food equivalent of a thirty minute drum solo... kinda what you expected but oddly , leaving you full of regret that you didn't catch the band in their prime. Most of the guitars on the wall will gently weep for the mediocre state of your burger and assorted sides. They're not bad but you've seen this concert at every Applebee's you've ever been to. I'm glad I went but I'm not holding up my portable lighter for an encore. read more

So for the FIFA World Cup I watched the Mexico Vs England at The Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square NYC. Luckily I got in and found a bar seat.. The energy was big! I had a pleasant time. Lots of fans on both sides. Staff were super nice and friendly, accommodating. The decor was amazing as usual. Hard Rock has a Rock Music theme and has so much musical artists paraphernalia.. Guitars, Gold and Platinum Albums, Signed autographs etc. Pretty cool theme spot. I had a piece of their flatbread pizza. Was cool. Besides that, I had a great time! So if you're looking for a fun spot to watch a game or just browse around, grab a bite check this spot out! You won't be disappointed! -Ray read more

This hotel is a great bang for your buck. I generally stay in mid town or close to Central Park, but changed it up and stayed by time square. Compared to other hotel rooms in NYC our room was quite spacious and CLEAN! Service was great from check in to check out. Concierge was pretty quick with response. read more

Overall exceeded my expectations- from little details to big differences. Highly enjoyed my stay. Pros -single booth in our hotel room -location was near everything we needed (we went to broadway) so lots was in walking distance -bell service and all staff were awesome!! -very cool bathroom door -worth the expense -able to use and accumulate unity points -right next to a bodega and a late night pizza place that's delicious! -clean -provided extra pillows, towels, and such -quiet, even considering its in New York City -loved the different lighting settings -complimentary drinks for unity members -beautiful relaxing shower -has valet Cons -smaller room than expected (but was still comfortable) -with modern style to bathroom felt like lack of privacy -expensive -did NOT like Alexa in the bedroom: it wasn't helpful for anything related to the hotel when asking it questions but luckily was able to be turned off -if you don't do valet, picking up and dropping off items can be tricky to navigate yourself -key card safety (e.g., on the elevators to go up) My recommendation: -pay for valet so you don't have to deal with the chaos of traffic- I plan to!! -eat some late night pizza at the place next door -bring money for tipping Helpful info: -unity members get complimentary drink (or at least we did) -you have to use your room key card to go up on the elevators -check-in is on the second floor read more

Excellent hotel and a wonderful choice if you are staying in Times Square. Rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable and the location is absolutely fantastic. Each floor has tribute to a rock or other music artist and the service is friendly and efficient. Walking distance from Broadway and many good restaurants. 5 stars and a BIG thank you! read more

The food was decent, but we were there for nearly an hour and only one rock song was even played. The rest was all R&B with a little 70s funk thrown in. Miss the original concept. Price was ok given this is Times Square. read more

Great location and friendly staff. We had a small hiccup during our check in. Gentleman that helped us at check in seemed inexperienced but clarified with his manager to help address our questions during check in. Hotel room is a bit small. Amazing high floor view and nice light controls. Service was prompt. You can't go wrong with the location. They have a rooftop restaurant so make sure to check that out. read more

"Because filth is good...Whatta you think: rock stars have sponges and ammonia lyin' around the bathroom? They, they have a woman comin' over: "I've gotta tidy up? Yeah right, in these matters you never do what your instincts tell you. Always, ALWAYS do the opposite." -George Costanza, Seinfeld da Scene: In NYC for 10 days... spending 6 nights in mid-town Manhattan and the last four in Brooklyn. 1st time at the Hard Rock as we're doing more stuff close by this trip; catching Sunset Blvd, a Knicks game at MSG, and lots of eateries. da Setup: People say not to bother driving in the city, a true local boy from Oahu and current Californian, I LIKE MY CAR. I like the options, freedom and safety it affords us, especially when traveling. Rented a mid-size crossover and headed to 48th and 7th ave. and pre-arranged parking at a non-valet lot over on 47th, (separate review), just 5 min walk away. Had to contact the front desk to verify we had the right room as we reserved 2 queens but the Unity site had us in a King... don't like that uncertainty, I like to expect smooth sailing and do what I can beforehand; fingers crossed. da Scene: Upon arrival you drive up to the valet, and can get help with the bags... do that for check in and walk in, unfettered. Walkup the spiral staircase and take it in, stunning open space surrounding the Sessions area leading to the Front Desk. TIP the valet guys when they take your bags AND when they bring them to the room PLEASE... they work in the busiest environment in the US! da Stay: Staff is professional & available, building is secure (24 hrs.), public spaces are beautiful and up to Hard Rock standards. Location is right in the THICK of the energy & action. It's a non-stop roller coaster at all times. ONE THING would be the parking/valet situation... $85 a night and NO in/out, that's $500 and I can't use the car? NO WAY man... I had to get in touch with one of the lots nearby for a discounted monthly rate (so you get in/out privileges). da Room: We scored a high floor, the view was nice. Beautifully appointed, beds were comfy. Not generally a fan of in-room coffee, it was actually a nice one and had several espresso during the stay. Great shower, except water did run out on to the floor, so be careful. If there was a flaw, it's the attention to detail in the room. The fancy lighting controlled all lights (dim, on and off, you can't just have one light on (like in bed). Storage is tight for a multiple bed room where you expect 3-4 people w/ luggage to be staying. We got maybe 1/3 each into the closet and 2 small drawers; the rest stayed in the luggage with only one luggage rack, no where to store 'em While beautiful, it sacrifices function for form. Plenty of outlets (some USB), but the outlets are all loose, plugs would not stay IN. da Dining: Sessions is the 1st one you get to and we sat at the bar both times once for just drinks, but ate the 2nd time... pretty damn good, a real Cesar salad w/ anchovies, great bar fries and burger. Standout is the RT60 Rooftop Bar, great views, vibes, food & drink. Make reservations ahead of time for sunset views... no kiddos after 5pm, turns into a club-like atmosphere late afternoon, then DJ's take over when the sun goes down. da Service: Top notch, from Valets, to Front Desk, to Security, to housekeeping and Food & Bev. shout out to Antonio and Steven at the Sessions bar... great drinks and entertaining! While we don't spend a lot of time in mid-town generally, if we do in the future, we'd consider the Hard Rock again. read more

Another wonderful week at this Hotel. I learned my boss loves this hotel, which is why we keep coming back, and I'm so glad. I requested the same style room I had last time so no update photos necessary.... It looks identical :). This time, instead of the rooftop bar/restaurant, our company hosted us for dinner at The Venue, which is a club-like setting; however, it was set up with large round tables to accommodate our dinner. It is a beautiful "venue," the food was delicious, and the servers were excellent. I love that, when I work out of my room, I can push a button and housekeeping will not disturb me (no need for those doorknob "Do Not Disturb" signs. I also love that the staff sends me a text to check on me, and when I request more coffee and cups, someone brought it right up. Thanks for another great stay! Hopefully, I'll see you again soon. read more

This hotel was refreshing! We have stayed in several hotels in NYC and it this has been by far the best experience. Every single person was so kind and helpful. Everywhere was clean and the small touches made it very pleasant. The bathroom floors are even heated! Fixtures are beautiful. Overall just well thought out and intentional. They were prompt with room service. Drinks at the restaurant were well made and the bar tender took her time making each drink flavorful and to expectations! Loved having pieces of music history all throughout the hotel. The restaurant was very cozy and the view was lovely. We loved staying here. Will definitely be back. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by my stay here! Normally when I'm in NYC, I try to avoid Times Square at all costs. But when I work trip came up during a time when hotel prices were surging, I had to look outside of the areas I regularly start to get a better deal. In the past, any hotel in Times Square I had stayed in the rooms were small and the hotels felt a lil shady and run down. But I figured if the motels were the same price as the Hard Rock, I'd be better off at the Hard Rock. Turns out this is actually a beautiful hotel. For some reason, I thought it would be corny but it really wasn't at all. It was clean and comfortable. The rooms was more spacious than expected and all of the staff working were so nice and professional. I even checked out the rooftop bar just for a look, and it wasn't too crowded but had a really nice view. While it's unlikely that I'll intentionally book in Times Square again any time soon, I can definitely say this would be my first choice and that overall I was impressed with my quality of stay! read more

If you are looking for a hotel that is clean, beautiful, provides excellent customer service, great location, etc., look no further! Hard Rock Hotel New York is the way to go. This is my second time visiting this location as it is located right in the middle of Time Square. It's conveniently located by some of your favorite places, such as, the M&M's World, Juniors Restaurant, Carmine's Italian Restaurant, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. Many attractions located in Time Square are walking distance from the Hotel. The rooms are beautiful and clean. I highly recommend anyone to book their next trip here. read more

Hard Rock continues to exceed my expectations. Having stayed at Hard Rock Cancun, Riviera Maya, and now Times Square, I can confidently say it remains my preferred hotel brand and I'm already looking forward to my next stay. The exceptional service consistently stands out. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and genuinely engaged, which makes a noticeable difference in the overall experience. The décor perfectly captures the signature rock-and-roll luxury vibe, creating an atmosphere that feels both energetic and upscale. One aspect I particularly appreciated about the Times Square location was the ability to check in under 21, which can be difficult to find in New York City. With very limited options available, I'm incredibly glad I chose Hard Rock the experience was truly unmatched. The rooms are clean, stylishly designed, and thoughtfully aligned with the rock theme. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a spacious layout and a beautiful dual shower head setup that added an elevated touch. If I had to mention any minor suggestions it would be the addition of a wider full-length mirror with brighter lighting and a microwave. However, this was a small detail in an otherwise outstanding stay. The location is truly unbeatable. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Times Square, Fifth Avenue, and Central Park, making it incredibly convenient to explore some of New York City's most iconic attractions. With nearby subway access just steps away, getting around the city is seamless. Being right in the heart of Manhattan allowed me to experience the energy of the city while still having a comfortable, stylish place to return to at the end of the day. If I return to New York, I will absolutely choose Hard Rock again, and whenever I travel to a destination with a Hard Rock property, it will always be at the top of my list. read more

Came here for a formal work event and was honestly blown away by the venue. Stunning decor, great food, wonderful staff. Couldn't say enough good things! If you're looking to book a large scale event, definitely check out this location. read more

Location is great, room comfortable. Hated getting charged mandatory $160 resort fee at check in, (3 night stay) and it felt so much like a bait and switch. Staff told us to look at it like we partially paid at booking and the rest at check in, but how about just charge what the room costs at booking and not be so scammy about it? The fee included a $20 credit for food or drink each day, which certainly would entail paying additional money because when have two people ever gotten anything to eat or drink at a hotel for $20? What a grift. I will never again stay at a HRH anywhere, as I prefer to spend my money with honest companies who aren't sleazy about squeezing extra dollars from customers at the last minute, when nothing can be done about it. And don't bother defending yourself by saying it's on the website. There is no reason to hide behind that excuse when you could easily incorporate all the costs of a stay into the advertised rate so potential customers know right up front what you charge, and not have to read the fine print on your website. Shame on you for your tactics. read more

The hotel in Punta Cana is good and the service is great. However, DO NOT buy any of the "return packages" or vacation deals they push at the end of your stay. It's misleading--you will lose your money, it's non-refundable, and when you try to use it, you'll end up paying even more than your original stay. Enjoy the resort, but avoid these offers completely. read more

Great location and value with a great staff! Rooms larger than most NYC hotels in the best location.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly. I didn't think the room was huge but that's NYC for ya. There's a lot of fun tech in the room that makes everything super easy. We paid through it by points and wish we could've used more of the amenities. We had $20 daily voucher-- one night the rooftop bar was closed for a private event and we were not informed. We came back to our room early wanting to go to the bar and couldn't. Room service menu was not great and over priced. For the city that never sleeps, room service ending at 11pm was a big bummer. read more

We were in between a rock and a hard place when Delta unexpectedly cancelled our flight last minute due to weather. We were originally scheduled to stay across the street at Hampton Inn Timesquare. Since we able to fly in last minute to New Jersey, we were unable to call Hampton to let them know and arrived at 1:30am. They had given our room away and didn't have a care in the world. We walked across the street to Hard Rock and the customer service level was a 360. We were greeted with compassion, empathy, respect and smiles. The man at the counter Justin made our issue his own. He got us a last minute accommodation and at a reasonable rate. It was much higher than Hampton but well worth it. I would highly recommend this hotel and although in the past I never thought about Hard Rock Hotels (Maybe because I thought they were out of my price range), I will make it my mission moving forward to support this brand. I don't care what the price is. Thank you soooooo much Hard Rock NYC for your true hospitality, professionalism and overall experience. 10 stars!! OAN the room was spotless and the shower gel smells AMAZING!! Highly recommend this place. read more

I had a very nice stay at the Hard Rock hotel last month. Decided to do a last minute getaway and this hotel is right in the heart of the city. Easy to get to. I didn't use any parking at the hotel but a nearby garage which was "reasonable" for NYC. Front desk service was quick and efficient. The room was a little bit more spacious than typical but it is the city so you won't have too much. The bed was super comfy and there was a little sitting area. The bathroom was absolutely beautiful. Loved the gold trim and the rain shower head. We ordered room service for dinner and breakfast and both were delicious. Overall, would definitely recommend if staying in the city. Walking distance to Rockefeller Center and Times Square. read more

We stayed here a few weeks ago for 5 nights and it was in a great location right on Time Square, clean, friendly staff, nice room although a bit on the small side so definitely not for a longer stay, comfortable bed, and the best shower I've had in ages! I absolutely loved that shower with its adjustable head that created a fluffy stream that was so relaxing after all the walking we did. When we went down for breakfast on our first day, we were shocked at how small the orange juice was and how expensive it was! I had avocado on toast, which tasted odd so ended up having just the orange juice, my partner had scrambled egg on toast and said it was just ok. The toast was more like warm bread, so as we both didn't like what we had, we didn't eat here again. I'd recommend eating anywhere else actually as it's way too expensive for what you get. UT47 down the road was delicious so went there instead. The room was nicely decorated and clean. There was a sliding door to separate the bedroom which was great in reducing noise from the other guests. Nice touch Overall the stay was good, and the staff were all lovely. We would stay here again but in a larger room. read more

This review is for the venue attached to the hotel (and the restaurant "Settings"). I visited the Hard Rock for the Gilbert Gottfried Record Drop/benefit for Myotonic Dystrophy type II research at the University of Rochester. The venue itself is very cool, lots of seating options. "Settings" itself is a typical hotel restaurant with Hard Rock touches. Our dinner was fairly decent, though... my sister loved her salmon, and insisted I have a bite. While I'm not a salmon person, I found it very buttery & rich (in a good way). I ordered the wedge salad with grilled salad. The salad was watery, very skimpy on dressing and adorned with slices of mortadella. The shrimp was not grilled and looked like it had been around for a bit. I had one bite and sent it back! All in all, despite the meh salad and "grilled" shrimp, we felt that the dinner was fairly reasonably priced for the area. The event was superb, and the hotel staff outdid itself and service at the bar was brisk! read more

There is no pool. It's open from 10-6 and we went at 4 and it was closed "due to an incident" . No relaxing only gambling.

This hotel is just amazing. We had the best service during our whole stay from the front desk to the bar tenders and housekeeping. If you want star service stop by the bar with Neilyn and Antonio at the Secessions Bar. We loved them and they definitely make the best cocktails. After our flight getting canceled last minute, they also assisted us with another room super easy and stress free after having a canceled flight when all other hotels were sold out.
