Convenient hotel, smooth checkin/out process. Breakfast appetizing, be ready to wait a while for an elevator during breakfast time.

En nuestra habitación con cama extra grande podrían aumentar una silla más (hay espacio suficiente de colocarla entre la ventana y cama) pues al llegar no había sitio donde descansar más que para una persona!!!

Very nice stay in incredible location
The hotel was very nice. Location was excellent (two minute walk up the block to heart of Times Square) staff helpful. Comfortable beds, very clean. This was my first experience staying in a RIU property and I would certainly stay again.
Convenient luggage check when arriving or leaving ahead of/after check out.
We spent two nights in the room with 2 queens and a pull out and it worked well for our family of 5. (Room was on the larger side by NYC hotel standards, and we didn’t spend a ton of time in the room.)
Be aware that there are long elevator wait times in the mornings, as one of the high floor elevators is used specifically for shuttling people from lobby to breakfast floor. We did the onsite breakfast—it was buffet style with lots of options, and a good value for the price (again by NYC standards) but you should allow time for it—not a grab and go. (We were also there on an insanely busy weekend in the City so may normally be faster)

Everyone’s given this hotel excellent but honestly it’s kind of a cheesy place to stay. The price is right, but the beds are like shoved together with very little room to walk around to the point that you have to crawl in jump over the beds to get to the bathroom, attached soap dispenser on the wall in the bathroom Fairly clean not that great . If price is a consideration sure, but that’s about it..

Minimal service
Convenient location but rooms were so small relative to the price. Elevators were overworked, facilities minimal. Who has a public restroom in the basement... price gouge in the holiday season is ridiculous.

Wonderful stay during Christmas season! All staff were amiable and accommodating. Staff managed the elevator traffic and breakfast access efficiently. Will definitely stay at the Riu Manhattan again.

So so...
Good location but there was things that we definitely didnt like for 800 per night. No valet so that made it not helpful. Garage was next door but it was full and would assume it was always be full with 4 hotels on the same street. We stayed on the 7th floor with only 2 working elevators. Must of had to wait 15 mins cause every elevator was full so we had to go down in pairs. The hotel room had (2) queen beds that literally had no room inbetween each bed. That was a first.
