The Marlton Hotel, New York

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“During its bohemian heyday, scores of artists and writers stayed at the Marlton House, built in 1900 and beloved for its prime Greenwich Village location and cheap rates. The Marlton is a snug and affordable alternative to larger hotels, and it’s a must for anyone seeking to replicate downtown living.”

Telegraph review:

“While guest rooms are modest in size, a phenomenal location in Greenwich Village more than makes up for the tight quarters. The hotel’s character-filled interior, an elegant French-inspired bistro, and a faddy bar scene call to mind Marlton House’s storied past.”

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?

A very comfortable stay in a classic NYC hotel right off Washington Square Park

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.

Fabulous

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.

Fabulous

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.

Great location, stylish hotel, good value for the money.

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.

A little gem of a hotel with a great location.

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 Marlton is very welcoming and comfortable place for a respite.

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.

Very good

Breakfast is very good. There's a predefined menu with 5 or 6 options,and all of them were good! the location is simply perfect!

The rooms are very small, we couldn't have any suitcase open and could barely fit them inside the room.

We will stay again. Probably in September.

We had the room on the second floor as soon as you open the main door. I would have liked to be further down the hallway. Breakfast was excellent.

Great place to stay in the Village in New York. Lots of charm.

Fireplace and comfy in cafe/lobby of hotel - inviting (although often very crowded with guests and no guests). Room was ready and check on allowed two hours before check in time. Nice amenities in room - toothpaste! - and slippers. They gave small bottle of wine for 4 day stay. The decor of halls and room was unique and attractive. Free newspapers and breakfast. Great location.

Room was quite small - although bed was comfortable, pillows were softer than I was used to. Although breakfast was free - you had to sign a meal ticket that inflated price of breakfast - $56 for breakfast two - basically a continental breakfast (where price for no guest breakfast was $18) and tips were requested based on inflated price - found that a bit annoying. Service at breakfast varied from poor (gruff inattentive service l, forgot to bring us silverware, etc) to great (very friendly attentive service.)

A cozy spot near NYU/Greenwich Village if you don't want/need to spend much time in your room!

The location is ideal for anyone visiting NYU. The lobby area is very cozy, particularly in Winter with the fireplace going. The coffee/Tea in the lobby was appreciated, while the Breakfast room and staff were very nice.

The majority of rooms are incredibly small/tight! Yes, the website does state they are 100-125 sqft, but the photos don't really prepare you for just how tight they are! There's barely room to walk between the bed and wall, and certainly nowhere easy to put your luggage.

Great stay, location is amazing, staff very helpful.

Location is fabulous.

My only negative comment would be that the lobby is very dark, not really a big problem.

Best Washington Square Hotel!!

Great location, close to everything in Village, 1 block from subway. Charming retro decor with decent restaurant and cozy lounge in lobby.

Bathroom really small with no counter space. Decor needs refresh!

Good stay

Nice location for exporing south Manhattan (Greenwich Village, East Village, Chelsea, Lower Manhattan etc). Rooms are small but comfortable and clean. The hotel lobby and bar/restaurant have a nice rustic vibe to them, cool place for having a drink or meal next to the fireplace. Breakfast's nice.

The main thing we didnt like was that we stayed for three days and on a number of occasions we were disturbed by staff knocking on our door asking what time we are checking out (once on the second day and three times on the check out day). One of those people who knocked said we can check out at 13:00 however at 12:00 we got a call from reception asking us to leave. Just felt a bit unorganised, especially considering the expensive day rate.

BEAUTIFUL, vintage, boutique hotel with friendly staff!

It was very quaint and eclectic in the best way. The Marlton felt like you were walking into a piece of history. The lobby has a huge fireplace and lots of wood and stone to make you feel cozy and at home. The property is beautiful and has an authentic vintage feel to it.

The included breakfast options were subpar but not awful (you can find a lot more stuff within walking distance I’d rather spend money on). Overall I would have said this was a 10/10 hotel if it hadn’t been for on my second night someone started smoking on my floor and there’s not any kind of seal on the door so the smell seeped into my room and made my room smell like a cigar lounge. So if I hadn’t been subjected to second hand smoke the entire 2nd night it would have been a great stay. Oh and all front desk did about it was “call them”. No it’s illegal to smoke inside, they should be removed from the premises.

Warm and inviting!

The fire in the lobby was excellent, especially on such a cold day, and the breakfast was a welcome and outstanding treat, complete with a latte!

It would have been nice to have a luggage rack in the room to put my suitcase on, otherwise, things were great.
