Hotel Edison Times Square

Hotel Edison Times Square

2/10 Terrible
"Stayed here back in November 2025, the stay itself was ok, room not huge, but had all you needed. On check in they explained they take a $300 deposit which is refundable after 21 days. The refund was never received, when I contacted them they said it was nothing to do with them and to contact my bank, which I did and it was down to the hotel to refund my refund. My daughter has since stayed at this hotel and the same thing has happened, they’ve taken $300 “refundable” deposit and it has not been returned, the hotel are now not answering emails, and we have contacted our bank who have now opened an investigation. Absolutely disgusting service, it’s stealing and customer service is non existent! My advice to anyone thinking of staying here is to go elsewhere, as this hotel is a con!"

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in New York. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we may suggest more economical dates to help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with New York's outstanding public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less congested neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
