Convient and chic This was my first stay at The Ravel Hotel and I couldn't have been more pleased. Convenient, chic, and cost efficient. My meeting was a short walk from the hotel so it was quite convenient. Service and food in the The rooftop restaurant were incredible. Great venue for photo ops. The car service back to Penn Station was wonderful. I would highly recommend this property for business or personal travelers.

USA 2014 What a welcome surprise the Ravel Hotel was. After reading so many negative reviews of the hotel I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Our room was ready when we arrived. Yes the furniture was mismatched and had some marks on it. So what! We were here for a holiday not to sit in the room. Our room looked out over Manhattan and which was magnificent. Housekeeping looked after our room very well for the 7 days we were there. We didn't try the restaurant for dinner or breakfast but did hear music on the Saturday night but was not really worried about it. As for the area, we were not at all worried about walking back from the subway at night. There was a shuttle bus but we did not use it. We walked to and from the subway in about 10-15 minutes. Thank you Ravel Hotel for making our New York stay fantastic.

good price hotel Hopefully when the 2nd part of the hotel will be open it will be even better. Must say that the walk from subway to the hotel is a bit scarry

One of the best views of the city and one of the best ambiances Ravel is definitely a great place to stay if you're visiting NYC or if you want hang out in a trendy hotel for a couple nights. The rooftop has one of the best views of NYC hand down and the have a great ambiance and plenty of space so you don't bump into people every time you move like in other rooftops. The music is good and the food is good. What else could you ask for. The manager at the front desk is very helpful and knows his stuff.

The Ravel is an easy commute and a great NY bargain. We were not sure staying in Long Island City across from Manhattan would work out. It works just fine! The Ravel shuttle can whisk you to subway stations and in a few short minutes, you're enjoying New York. The hotel staff could not have been more helpful and accomodating. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
