Great hotel with even better views of Manhattan Great hotel with an awesome rooftop restaurant and lounge with stunning views of Midtown Manhattan. Super easy access to city

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.

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.

This is THE place to stay when visiting NYC for the first time with an amazing view!. A GREAT VIEW, remodeled space and great staff! What more could you ask for? Our room was CLEAN, with plenty of room and a very MODERN design and layout. The location can't be beat. We pulled up to The Ravel at 9:30pm, unpacked our luggage, found a FREE parking spot, and hopped on a shuttle to the closest subway and was sitting down for dinner in TIME SQUARE by 10:30! Walking back to the Hotel at 2am we were a little nervous, but never saw a soul, just a few cars drove by. And did I mention THE VIEW!?! It was amazing! We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to NYC. PLUS a very fair price!

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.
