This is the third year I have taken a group of 15-20 teenagers on a school trip to NYC for a week, and we have always stayed here. The hotel itself is gorgeous - spacious rooms (for NYC!! this is a biggie!) with amazing accommodations. The staff is beyond courteous and helpful, and we have never wanted for anything. The location is perfect for a week in NYC - close to just about everything you want to do - and it has a metro stop literally next door! We couldn't ask for more. I would return here with or without a group of students - it is such a good hotel!

This was the perfect room/location/price for family trip to NYC. The hotel location was conveniently located above a subway station with an entrance a few steps away from the door. The room was very clean and the daily service we received from housekeeping was very thorough. The staff was very friendly and hotel was very safe as there were staff members checking for hotel keys before anyone could enter the hotel room access area. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again if we return to the area.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights - Saturday through Monday - in November during Veterans Day weekend. The cost was a bit steep, but no more so than surrounding comparable hotels due to it being a holiday weekend during the Christmas season.
The hotel was in a perfect location, steps from Herald Square and a main subway station for access to other parts of the city. So many food options nearby, including a terrific breakfast cart just 2 blocks away. I loved the accessibility and walking distance to the Flatiron district, Times Square, Macy's, Madison Square Garden (where we saw a concert), and more.
Our room was clean and of a typical size for regular Manhattan hotel rooms. Not spacious, but we were there to explore the city. Our room came with a mini fridge and 2 bottles of water. There was a small closet but no dresser.
The bathroom is also small, but the tub is sizeable and big enough for even taller/larger bodies. Great water pressure, too!
All of the staff was pleasant, greeting us each time we entered and exited the hotel. The lobby was gorgeous; I loved the classic tiling and decor.
There is ongoing construction, but this did not impact us as our room was away from that area. My recommendation is to make sure you request a room away from that area at check-in if you think it will be an issue.
I highly recommend giving a stay here a try.

Five-Star Review: Hotel Martinique New York City
We had a wonderful four-night stay at Hotel Martinique! The hotel’s prime location, paired with its cozy restaurant, convenient coffee bar, and spacious deluxe rooms, made our visit both comfortable and enjoyable.
While the location and amenities were fantastic, what truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional service from Jose, the Bellman. He went above and beyond at every opportunity, assisting us with directions and coordinating all our ground transportation. Jose even took the time to teach us how to navigate the subway—a skill we’ll use for years to come! Roberto, the evening Bellman, was equally professional and incredibly helpful, especially in getting us around the city during gridlock traffic.
Both Jose and Roberto’s dedication to guest satisfaction is unmatched, and they are undoubtedly five-star employees. If you’re staying at Hotel Martinique, do yourself a favor and meet them. They’re the reason we’ll be returning to this hotel on our next trip to New York City. Highly recommend!

I'm a long-time Diamond member and stayed over Christmas. For as busy as this hotel was, the service by the staff was always good. Whether the folks near the front entrance, the front desk, restaurant or housekeeping - everyone was very nice and service was great.
We stayed in a Junior suite and it was just OK. The room is smaller, being an older NYC hotel, so sort of expected that. However, it seemed based on the room selection map from the app that the Jr. Suites mostly (if not all) have a view of walls of the building (see attached). I noticed other posts commenting on obstructed views due to ongoing construction, but this wasn't that issue, as you can see. So it was disappointing to have a smaller room that was dark and did not have a view for the price that we paid.
The room was also next to the elevator shaft and when it was quiet at night, you could hear noises from the elevator equipment and often could hear noises outside of the windows in the center of the building.
The room was clean but could use some minor repairs - there are not a lot of power outlets near the desk and the one provided on the desk was only partially working. Bathroom is small for a junior suite and would be similar to ones found in a Hampton Inn.
Unless the place was offering a good/better rate, I'd likely stay elsewhere on my next trip to NYC.
