Hotel Shocard at Times Square in New York

I stayed at Hotel Shocard for a week and, after reading some previous reviews, I’ll admit I arrived feeling quite apprehensive. However, I can honestly say I had a completely positive experience and zero complaints.

The room size was absolutely perfect for two people — especially by New York standards. It was comfortable, well laid out, and gave us enough space to properly settle in for the week without feeling cramped. Cleanliness was spot on: fresh linens, spotless bathroom, and no issues whatsoever with water, heating, or facilities during our stay.

The staff were friendly and professional throughout. Check-in was smooth, and any small queries we had were handled quickly and politely. We experienced none of the issues mentioned in some older reviews — no flooding, no water problems, no alarms, and no housekeeping concerns. Everything felt well managed and organised.

Location-wise, it’s fantastic — right in the heart of the city, making it easy to walk or hop on transport anywhere. For the price we paid, the value for money was genuinely excellent, especially in New York where hotel costs can be eye-watering.

If you’re feeling nervous because of past reviews, don’t be. Our experience was comfortable, clean, and great value. I would absolutely stay here again.

Hotel Shocard delivered a consistently good experience across the board. The rooms were comfortable, the service was friendly and helpful, and the location made exploring easy. It's a reliable choice if you're looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in the city.

convenience and proximity to Penn Station reasonable price

Less than a minute from the hustle and bustle of Times Square in New York City. Very walkable location in and around midtown.

So nice at check in and got a penthouse upgrade, free drink and % off the meal! Room is amazing! Thank you!

Everything was super close by subway was right in front. Very convenient for Times Square and subway stations close to restaurants and shops in the heart of Times Square walkable distance to shows, target, cvs. Room was very small but cozy and was perfect for two. Great customer service at front desk. Phone didn’t work to call front desk. Ac/ heater had to be operated by someone from maintenance. Shower did not have hot water or I didn’t know how to turn it on cause the sink water was very hot.
