After reading some of the reviews on here, I was a bit worried about what the hotel would be like. This was my first trip to New York, and on arrival to the hotel the first thing I noticed was the politeness of all the hotel staff and the cleanliness. We had a lovely receptionist who gave us great tips... more

We got a fabulous rate on eBookers for just one night here -booked because it is in a different part of town - we have been to NYC about 7 times and always stayed up in the 40/50s region. We dropped off our luggage around 11:30 - the room wasn't ready until 3, and we were offered an upsell for... more

This hotel was average at best, and once your factor in price its totally not worth it! Overall this is a really small hotel with an extremely awkward layout. Once you get off the elevator you feel like you are walking through a maze to find your room. Like many reviewers have said, the rooms are really small, but I... more

If you are out and about during the day and busy in the evenings, then the Marcel is well located and comfortable for weary sightseers. It is not a hotel where I could fill in an entire day. Rooms are small, but comfortable with a 'boutique' feel. The position of the hotel is excellent. Breakfast at the hotel was pleasant... more

This was my second visit to The Marcel. Many of the rooms are very very small. However, if you are lucky enough to stay in a room on a corner or another larger room - they are GREAT! The staff is great... very kind and accommodating. This is a really nice NY boutique hotel. I would not have any hesitation... more

We got a discount, so we definitely got value for money. Large rooms for NYC standard. Nicely decorated hotel. Free use of computer and internet. Staff wasn't too helpful, but they smiled alot. more

My mom and I stayed at the Marcel two nights on November 5-6. The first night my mom and I arrived about 10:30p. We were greeted by a pleasant staff at the front desk and given a room with two double beds on the 2nd floor. As we get off the elevator, there is a weird smell. We find our... more

Don't believe the hype - even in Manhattan, there are understandably small rooms in nice, decent hotels and there are tiny, overpriced shoeboxes with poor sound insulation, terrible floorplans and shoddy service/decor - there may only be one of the latter... The Marcel at Gramercy. Stay away! I will never stay here again. Ever. more

All hotel rooms in New York are small, but the Marcel's seemed smaller than usual. The beds were ok. The hotel would be good for a person on vacation who does not need hotel amenities. Not great if you're going there for business. The internet was not working, but they charged me $30. The movie selection did not and they... more
