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

I have to preface this with saying I come to New York twice a month for work. I usually stay in non-chain hotels like the Marcel and all in and around the area of this hotel. I would not choose to stay at thie hotel again. A lot of people complained about the size of the rooms and they are... more

The Marcel was conveniently located near the subway, city buses, Starbuck’s, pharmacies, restaurants, etc. The Gramercy/E 24th Street area was clean and safe. The hotel staff was excellent and very helpful – especially the doormen. The rooms and bathrooms are very small, as expected in New York, but tastefully appointed and updated. However, if you are not accustomed to street... more

We booked the Marcel on Hotels.com, stayed for 3 nights and felt like we discovered a gem. The hotel was right across the street from our son's NYU dorm and walking distance to lots of restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was tiny with no view, but very clean and nicely decorated. Basically, we got what... more

We've stayed at this hotel for 8 nights and we were very nicely surprised. Reading some of the comments here we had some concerns, but in the end the hotel made us a very good impression. The room was clean, relatively large for NYC standards and the staff was very nice. The price was also OK for NYC, as was... more

My husband and I came to town to visit our child at NYU. The location was perfect for getting down to campus or uptown to visit relatives. We arrived early and the room was ready and were we blown away. The staff set up with what we thought had to be one of the best rooms in the house. Higher... more

My boyfriend gave me the surprise of an extended weekend in New York for my birthday and booked our stay at the Marcel. Never having been to NYC I was unsure what to expect but found myself excited, thrilled and a little awed as soon as we walked in the door. The décor was a bit minimalist but fun and... more

The Marcel was great. Yes- the rooms are small but it's to be expected, it's NY! It was such a cute room with an authentic boutique feel to it. I loved it. The lobby is hip and stylish, it's close to some great restaurants, etc. and the staff was super friendly. I would highly recommend staying here, especially for the... more

This hotel has had a hip renovation of the visible surfaces. But scratch the surface, and it's a dive. - We were on the 5th floor, 24th Street side. Tiny but comfortable room. Tiny bathroom: tall people may have difficulty using the toilet. - Beneath hip new carpet, ancient floors creak. Fortunately, the room above us was empty. - Traffic... more
