The Marlton Hotel, New York

Breakfast was a bit disappointing

Great atmosphere

Location Staff

Small rooms , but this par for the course for NY

the location was amazing. close to tons of great places to eat and tour in the Village with good access to the subway. breakfast was delicious and service friendly and efficient. the atmosphere was very quiet calm and old world. a bit too dark in some public rooms.

there was massive building- construction site at the back of the hotel causing lots of noise beginning at 645 a.m. the hotel in anticipation of the building and the noise problem should have asked the builders to subsidize the cost of installing double pane windows in the rooms on the back facade of the hotel to minimize the disturbance to the guests' rest.

Nice staff, great breakfast, excellent locations

Room wasn't big but hey, this is NYC

The rooms, while small, are very pretty, especially if you appreciate an antique-y vibe. All the fittings are brass, the tiles are a beautiful patina-green, and the floors are genuine wood. My room would have been tight for two, but for a solo traveler it was perfect! Hoping to return!

I needed a (small) folding luggage rack. And I would have liked a toast option included in the free breakfast.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Marlton, which was for 5 days. It is a charming, old-world feeling hotel. First, as has already been mentioned, the rooms are small. But as a solo woman traveler, the size was just fine for me. If you're looking for expansive rooms to sprawl, then go elsewhere. I initially booked the Petite Queen but learned (as also mentioned by others) that the Petite Queen rooms face a building that is undergoing construction. And construction starts early and lasts until the evening in the day. And it is really loud. Not the hotel's fault. Even though I planned on sight-seeing, I also wanted to come back to the room to rest and the noise made it impossible. However, as luck would have it, there was another room available, and the hotel staff were so very accommodating and put me in the new room, which was one with a full bed. And again, as a solo traveler, that was just fine. As a matter of fact, I loved the room even more. It felt a little bigger, the bathroom was bigger and had a bathtub. There was also a very nice wardrobe to hang my clothes in, as well as a stocked mini-bar (I took that stuff out and put my own drinks and snacks in). There was also a hallway to the bathroom, giving the room a feeling of being larger. The room was exceptionally clean, the bathroom lovely with a wonderful shower head and very nice toiletries. I found the bed quite comfortable. The pillows are squishy, but I had 4 to choose from and just piled them on and slept just fine. My room faced the street, but there was very little street noise, at least nothing that kept me awake. The continental breakfast included with the room price was just fine. I typically had the oatmeal and a glass of juice, which is really all I needed to kickstart my day. The hotel really is ideally located and easy to get to places either on foot or via the subway, which is a couple blocks away.

Restaurant is very good. It is very spacious and Food is Good

Bath is too small and congested

Room was very stylish but on the small side Bathroom was clean and stylish too Continental breakfast was great with excellent quality produce Bar was busy and buzzing in the evening Staff very helpful Great downtown location

Nothing much without stepping up a price level to include other amenities

Complementary breakfast and staff was great. Funky eclectic vibe!

Water pressure not great. Bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Not able to stream on TV.

Awesome location, one of the main reasons I stayed here. Nice CO bigelow toiletries. Friendly staff. Clean rooms.

A bit loud (doors slamming, noise in the hallway), often had to wait for the elevator. No coffee in the room. Insufficient blinds (lots of light in the AM). Bed wasn’t that comfortable.

I liked the chilled out vibe, the location is excellent and the staff sweet and courteous. The place exudes a calm that I loved coming home too, it felt natural and comfortable most times of the day. I worked in the lobby a lot and that was wonderful as well. Its a stone's throw away from Washington Sq Park which was a lovely addition to the day every time I stepped out. Its far from the madness of the downtown yet surrounded by fun things to do. The room was small but clean and the fixtures were all early 19th century vibe - which felt quite cool!

Water wasn't provided as a given and I went a few nights parched. Its standard to offer a bottle complimentary in other hotels so I wonder why they didn't think of it. The other thing I would have wanted is a clothes rail or a wardrobe for my stuff, but the room was very small and didn't have anything such.

Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast and included

Beds were fabulous! Staff very helpful and friendly and nice. Breakfast pretty good. Location is great.

Rooms were soooooo tiny. Barely space to move. Petite female, 115 lbs

Rooms are tiny but clean and the ac works well. The front desk and bell staff was really nice and the breakfast was great.

Rooms so extremely tiny

Great location.

The sprays used to clean and scent the room were incredibly strong. I don’t personally have a perfume allergy and couldn’t breathe and had to leave the window open at all times.

Location was great, Overall staff was great. Room was clean and maid service was awesome .

Breakfast service was just ok . Server made us feel rushed and never asked what else did we need. Host and hostess were very attentive

Breakfast is good in choice but bad in execution. The only area with so-so service

Breakfast and pillows

Great location, breakfast and friendly staff. The bar/ restaurant are fairly priced and have a great selection.

The common areas of the hotel feel more and more dirty and tired. I have stayed here annually over the past 3 years and it definitely felt like a refresh is needed. There is shabby chic, and then there is shabby. Still a great place to stay! Just don’t want to see it get more run down.

The staff is amazing. The style is also good and the cleanliness is great.

The room size is too small! We just can't find space to open the luggage! We had to do it over the bed. It's almost claustrophobic... Other than that the Hotel is very good.

Hotel location, ambiance, and public spaces are amazing!

Rooms are pleasant, although on the small side.

Charm, comfort, cleanliness and location. Checkout and breakfast until 1200.

Passageway noise but tolerable as this is an old charming hotel. Darkening curtains didn’t completely cover the window, although I was encouraged by staff to approach front desk.

Super location - perfect for exploring New York and easy to get to from JFK (you can get a train direct from the airport to a subway station that's just a short walk from hotel). The hotel is full of character: the rooms are pleasant and clean (if small) and the bar and lobby are full of charm. There's good air con throughout — it kept me cool even in 34 degree heat. A reasonably good breakfast is included in the room price (or at least was when I booked).

Breakfast was served a bit later than I might like - from 8am, which won't suit you if you need to head off to an early meeting. There were no tea/coffee making facilities in my room and bar prices were very high (the minibar prices especially so). Given the cost of my room, it was pretty small, but that's generally the case in NYC. WiFi wasn't password protected, which work users won't necessary like - I ended up tethering a lot.

The Restaurant and coffee bar were excellent.

Very small vanity in the bathroom.

Amazing location in the heart of Greenwich. The staff were very friendly and helped arrange taxis to the airport. The bed was comfortable. We had a great drink at the bar.

We knew in advance but the rooms are very small, which could affect people's stay but we were fine with it. On weekdays there was loud construction work happening from 7am - we were already awake but would be worth considering if you want your sleep!

Certainly the rooms are small, but they are so well appointed. The sheets are high quality, as is the mattress. It feels like a comfortable, clean apartment rather than a hotel. Everything is thought of from the makeup remover wipes to the bathrobe.

If you are going for a work trip, just know that the rooms do not have a desk.

I liked the room - comfortable with nice detailing, great bar area and lobby is comfortable for meeting people and/or doing work.

Bathroom counter is very small

coffee in the lobby, breakfast daily bed comfortable, quiet

cleaner bathroom ( mildew) some help with bags etc

Excellent location, can't be beat. Rooms are on the small side, definitely, but they were confortable enough. The bathroom was excellent, shower was excellent, breakfast was very healthy, which is always appreciated.

From other reviews and description I was expecting more from the lobby and the hotel bar. Not that I intended to spend a lot of time there, but there a better places in the neighbourhood to grab a drink and chill. The atmosphere was too dark and it was rather samall.

Great location & nice bar/ lounge

Rooms are very small but well furnished and very clean and comfortable

This hotel is conveniently close to Washington Square Park and NYU main buildings and dorms. The lobby is welcoming and cozy and they have a restaurant. There is an espresso bar in the lobby. The rooms are small but quaint with cool brass fixtures.

There is not much of a greeting from the front desk upon arrival. Not very welcoming

Facade Lobby and room fixtures

Staff were good. Location excellent.

The room was surprisingly small.

Location is excellent. Bedrooms are a decent size. Breakfast choice was good as was the espresso.

Reception staff vary considerably. Some are bright and cheery, others hardly acknowledge your existence with their eyes cast down as if they are watching a movie behind reception and don't want to be interrupted. Room cleaning wasn't great - a vacuum cleaner needed.

Great location, charming downstairs lobby with open fire, delicious complementary breakfast.

The rooms are small.

Location

Very small room Breakfast ok but nothing special. So many great places around. No need to have breakfast in the hotel AC noisy but we got moved to another room because of it

Cutest hotel in the village ! Reminded me of hotels in Italy.

Great setting. Lovely old style New York furnishings, cool bar and diner area. Breakfast included is a real bonus.

Not the friendliest front desk staff. Fan in bathroom was noisy.

Perfectly located, calm and well decorated. Very comfortable bed. A la carte breakfast included in room rate was good.

As expected, room was small. Beware if you leave your receipts at breakfast empty: we realized at check out that waiters had been giving themselves tips for breakfast without our consent !!

Breakfast was great. Bed comfortable and warm - liked "fur" throw

Would have liked a price list in room for beverages and snacks. Ordered drinks from waiter in lobby and 20 minutes later was told they didn't have what we ordered - lobby and bar area was not crowded, why did it take him so long to tell us?

Great staff

Room is very small

The Marlton is a classic New York hotel in an excellent location. The staff were very friendly, the bed was super comfortable, and the breakfast was quite nice. The rooms were very very quiet and we slept perfectly each night. I’ve stayed in other hotels and apartments in NYC and this certainly was not the case there. Also the temperature control in the room was top notch. One other noteworthy experience was the breakfast every morning. We always easily got a table right away and the servers were attentive.

There are trade offs to consider when staying in a classic traditional hotel, where the facilities are on the older side. The rooms are very small with limited space to move around or spread out. There certainly was nowhere to work in the room (ie desk). However, the lobby is quite spacious and comfortable and I saw several people working there. The water pressure in the shower was on the lower side and the faucets were traditional with the hot and cold settings as separate dials. That said, these things did not put me off the hotel and I would certainly stay there again in the future.

Great location and the rooms, though small, were nicely fitted out and very quiet.

The lounge and bar seem to be used by local students as a common room.

The position is excellent as are most other aspects of a stay at your hotel.

We very much preferred the previous breakfast choice (pre-Covid) of avocado and boiled eggs and toast (or fruit ) (that is, the breakfast included in the daily rate). We found the present breakfast selection (as part of the daily rate inclusion) very disappointing and boring , especially as we were staying with you for 5 nights. Everything else was wonderful at the hotel and just as we had remembered it. We have stayed there several times and will stay there next time, but hope for some improvement in the breakfast provided with the daily rate.

The complimentary breakfast was good. The room was stylish, but small, although typical for NY hotel rooms. The location was extremely convenient for getting around all parts of the city with lots of good bars and restaurants nearby.

The room was really small and only about half the staff was friendly.

ambiance, decor, location

Hot water was more lukewarm, especially in morning when guests are getting up

Location

Had no hot water for showers on 2 occasions during our 4 day stay

Great location, lovely character in the hotel and all the staff were very helpful.

Very busy lobby with people working on laptops all day. Often difficult to find a seat.

The room would be considered small by some but not by European standards. Very clean and very comfortable bed, linen, robe/slippers, etc. Lobby was cozy as well as the bar area; the restaurant pleasant. The location is super and the continental breakfast (fresh fritta and side salad) was scrumptious.

I wished that a chair could be provided in the room but understand that it would probably take up too much space.

Great location, loved the breakfast & coffee selection!
