The hotel is chic with spacious rooms and centrally located. The subway is a short walk away and we loved that despite its convenient location in Midtown West, it’s a quieter part of the city. The staff are warm, welcoming and extremely helpful; from making any changes to bookings, to accommodating requests and even giving sterling restaurant recommendations. Eleonor is an excellent Rooms Manager, Flloyd & Cassandra are outstanding and generally speaking all staff go out of their way to assist where possible. The rooms are spacious, the beds are a dream! The Turkish baths were just what we needed after rainy days of walking the city. Extremely happy with our stay!
I only booked this hotel because it is on the Upper East side and I had a meeting close by. I had the one bedroom suite and besides the room being large it was complete dated. From the furniture to the kitchenette to the bathroom, everything about this room was discussing and old. Photos on the website tell a different story of what was here. Also, hotel staff was rude at check in. Definitely will not come back here.
We enjoyed the comfort, location and hospitality of The Marmara Manhattan Hotel. Located on 94Th Street and 2nd Ave. in New York City, NY. We were greeted by Two Professional Hotel Hosts Mr. Matt and Mr. Roger, who graciously set the tone for what turned out to be a very pleasant hotel experience. The one bedroom suite, with balcony was spacious, and perfectly suited our needs. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Guys. Ernest, NY
Located in Manhattan's Yorkville neighborhood, The Marmara was my home for 2 weeks during the COVID crisis. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They helped me find good places to eat, shop, where to park and kept me feeling safe since I was a New York "NEWBEE." Everything is within walking distance and the subway is 20 steps from the entrance. If you are looking for convenience, this is where to stay!
The hotel is in a residential area of Manhattan's upper east side but is located a minute away from a subway stop so it's very convenient to travel around the city. The suites are very comfortable. The staff is fantastic. They are hugely helpful and accommodating.,
I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Customer service is above and beyond what was expected. Lisa Darbasie deserves a pat on the back for her outstanding support and customer friendly attitude. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a great place to stay in New York City. It is well worth the money.
Manager Roger Arboleda & staff (ALL staff-day & night) were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Had to be in upper Eastside 25 days for treatment so the MM was a real find! Not fancy but huge rooms where everything worked..great bed, shower, full kitchen. I’m allergic to cats & dogs so was nervous about the rooms since the MM is pet-friendly. Our room was very clean and I had no allergic reaction whatsoever..no trace of animals. Matt & Jessica front desk were great as were the day & evening concierge guys. The rate was more than fair and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
My wife and I visit our son and family the UES a few times a year. We have been staying at another hotel, but decided to try the Marmara this time. We will probably come back in the future, depending mainly on price. Our room - or rather, our suite - was very roomy. There was a kitchen with full-size fridge, oven, dishwasher (!), dishes, etc. The living room and bedroom were spacious. The bathroom was larger than many I've seen in New York. Cleanliness was a bit of a concern. The freezer compartment in the fridge had a big smear of what appeared to be grape jelly, and I found Cheeto crumbs on the floor in the living room. The counter in the bathroom didn't look great, but that may have been the stone the counter was made of. Our room could have used updating. The furniture was serviceable, but institutional. Some pops of color here and there would make a big difference.…
Initial check-in at any hotel holds primary perception, suggestion...maybe hire staff that show a bit of care. These people are in essence the face of the hotel. I walked in, and dealt with someone with a terrible attitude and 0 personality. This is coming from a pretty chill person which says a lot, the immediate disdain I now have for the hotel is 1000% from my initial interaction. Rooms were well decorated and the location is prime, as humans social interaction is still a big component of any decision. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.
Let's start with the positives. The hotel is in a great location if you want to be on the Upper East Side, the staff is exceptionally nice and helpful, the rooms are clean and well-sized, each unit has a kitchen, and the price is reasonable. We were upgraded without asking and at no cost. On the other hand, the rooms could use some updating. The sofa bed we had in our unit was terribly thin, soft, and had springs pushing through. The units are sparsely decorated and could probably use a new carpet and furnishings. Maybe even a picture or two on the wall. We would stay there again if visiting that part of Manhattan.
