Our room was the Executive King, it was decently sized, and shockingly quiet. I was so concerned about noise booking so close to Times Square, while our room had no view we didn’t hear any horns, sirens etc.
The location is FANTASTIC, close to Broadway theaters, multiple subway stations etc. we truly enjoyed our visit.

Great location
This location is excellent for Times Square. We had two rooms. One bathroom was fine. The other had no lighting around the sink/mirror. Elevators were small and busy. The positive things were clean rooms and comfortable bed, and nice shower.

Very comfortable, excellent location
I loved the setup of our room. Beds were separated by a good-sized bathroom, which made for a bit more privacy and comfort for the three adults in our room. Also, the non-street side was extremely quiet.

The location is amazing but the hotel is very limited compared to others nearby. Also, this is probably the only hotel I have stayed in that didn’t have a mini fridge. Fortunately, the bed was extremely comfortable and climate control worked well. It’s overall a great value if you want to be right in the middle of Times Square.

Solo business/vacation trip for Art week
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The area had convenient transport and food options as well. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Jojo and Jonathan who worked the front desk on my last day were particularly hospitable. I would 100% recommend Aura Times Square to any solo travellers or those going to NYC on a business or friends' trip :)
