Very welcoming staff and great service The hotel is in a bad area, but thanks to the shuttle service which the hotel provides it definitely does make the travel very comfortable and safe. The staff is great, they are very welcoming and accommodating. I will definitely be going back with friends.

Spacious rooms with great of the skyline. I recently booked a queen deluxe room for my stay at the ravel. I requested a room with a city view. Upon checking in i walked in my room and realized i did not have a view, the front desk informed me that queen deluxe rooms do not offer city views but they had upgrade options. I upgraded to a penthouse. it turned out to be a great stay, room was big and the view was amazing. Friendly staff and very convenient location. Shuttle service was a big plus.

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.

Excellent Service and stunning view! I stayed at Ravel for my wedding and I could not be happier with their service. The staff was really nice, and always prompt whenever I need something. The hotel manager was very professional and really helpful. I got ready at their suit the day of my wedding, and needed several things that were not available at the room like an outlet extension lol and the staff provided me with one right away. Not only did i receive great service from the hotel staff, but also great views for picture. Their penthouse suit had a gorgeous view of the city and worked out great for some stunning shots. Their roof top offers just the same. Beautiful view of the city, and great for a nice romantic evening dinner. Whether you book a stay at Ravel or simply go to the rooftop for a nice dinner, the service and view will not disappoint. Friendly staff, awesome service, and stunning view!!!

Ravel Hotel - New York The Ravel Hotel is in a good location overlooking Manhattan on the East River with fantastic views, the staff were helpful and friendly. There is a shuttle bus to the nearest subway station and it only takes about 10 minutes to Times Square, Central Park etc. so for all the attractions it ideally located. The hotel is generally clean and comfortable, the decor is not to everyone's taste but we thought it good and different. Okay the actual area where the hotel is cited is not particularly pretty but we thought it safe enough to walk at night in the area and from the subway etc. It could do with a little updating\makeover and general improvements but maybe this will happen once the new wing is open. Not too bad overall.
