    The Hotel Marrakech is conveniently located near the subway in an interesting neighborhood just a few blocks from Central Park West. Reception is impressive, with sophisticated all-black clad doormen, Middle-East-style jazz music playing in reception, and professional, friendly staff. I was staying in a "Superior" room, which was in an isolated section toward the back of the hotel. The hallways and rooms were quite dark, and my room had a "view" of the building about 20 feet across the alley. On the positive side, it was away from Broadway and therefore relatively quiet.

    The room itself was fairly spacious (by Manhattan standards). While the room's cleanliness wasn't exactly up to Swiss standards (hint: do NOT put your change of clothes on the bathroom windowsill!), it was comfortable and secure. The hotel offers a bar and internet access among its amenities. While the hotel does not provide breakfast, there are several restaurants within 3 blocks that offer all sorts of breakfast and coffee options (to include a Starbucks next door).

    - Reasonably priced hotel near the subway
    - Internet access available

  • Directions: On the corner of Broadway and 103rd Street. By subway, take the 1 Train to 103rd Street. If you're coming from downtown, your best bet is to board the express 2 or 3 Trains to 96th street, then board the local 1 train across the platform 1 stop to 103rd.

    Not all rooms have private bath or AC.
    Rooms are simple and small. The beds are a little saggy, but mostly the rooms are comfy, if not luxurious. Each has a TV, bathroom, mirrors, phone, and a desk. Hallways twist and turn like crazy. Don't get too drunk or you might never find it and have to sleep in the hall. No views to speak of, but the staff were friendly enough. Not really a hotel as much as an expensive backpackers, but with private rooms... maybe that's going a bit far... for a budget hotel in NY it is quite good. The staff are friendly and offer more services than other budget hotels - In-room food, transportation to airport etc.
    The hotel is on a very busy block of Broadway. Carribbean-flavored neighborhood.

    Wonderful Mexican restaurant just downstairs. Some great lunch spots and Tom's Restaurant in walking distance.

    • My friend and I thought this was a great hotel for a great price, especially for New York City. The staff was helpful and friendly, especially the guy who ran the breakfast bar. He could rattle off a dozen restaurant suggestions within a few blocks, and his suggestion to get to the Empire State Building early was excellent. Just after we got there, a line started forming, so he saved us a lot of time.

    The room and bathroom were small, but we were only in there to sleep and shower, so who cares? The beds were the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept on, ditto for the pillows. Not once did I wake up with a stiff back or neck. The room and bathroom were clean, and our beds were made and towels restocked every day. We had a nice wardrobe to store our clothes in, plus a luggage rack. Only complaint there is more hangers would have been nice.

    The location also couldn't have been better. For one thing, the route for the M60 bus from LaGuardia stops just three blocks from the Marrakech. Can't beat a $2 ride into the city! Also, the 103rd Street subway stop is just across the street, and we found tons of great restaurants nearby.

    The only downside was the dark hallways and many staircases, so I definitely wouldn't recommend this to travelers with disabilities (or at least with disabilities that affect their walking/climbing), and it might be difficult for the elderly as well. Heck, it was difficult for me! But I'm not complaining; I'd highly recommend the Marrakech.

    Thanks to Hexepatty, I got an incredible deal on this hotel. Located on the upper west side right at the 103 street subway stop. The lobby of this hotel is very funky, lots of ceramic tiles and Morrocan fixtures. The staff was very nice and helpful, although they did walk into our room once without knocking and also forgot to leave soap when they cleaned. Still, If I could afford regular the price I would stay here all the time.

    very funky lobby. Rooms are basic, but in good condition.
