The Mave Hotel

Upon arrival we were able to have a no hassle early check in at 8am. The «king» room was spacey and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The street was as noisy expected but not bad at all. Plenty or eating & drinking establishments right next door. Near subways. Near flat iron building. Near a 24 hour fitness the price was the best part. All I was expecting was a clean room & comfy bed.

Where do I start? You have to pay for wifi, not a big deal but it’s by far the slowest internet you could possibly get. I called the front desk and spoke to the guy and he just tells me oh yes we’ve been having issues with the Internet and it’s really slow. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but the guy I spoke with was the same guy that told me to purchase the wifi. No courtesy to pre warn me? Next problem it’s one of the coldest weekends of the year. The rooms are just as cold as outside. Told management and they just didn’t care. The first and only thing they said was there’s nothing they can do. This place just doesn’t seem to have any courteous employees what so ever.

It was not the diminutive room I minded, but the sheets were a hair short of clean, the furniture scuffed, the TV and outlets were broken and the bathroom was about 27 degrees. Even though I had a non-​refundable booking through a third party, I could only make it about 45 minutes before fleeing to the Flatiron Hotel around the corner.

Reserved during the after period of christmas holidays, The MAve Hotel was such a great satisfaction.
He’s a less two minutes walk from Madison Square Park, where we also can find the Flatiron Building. It’s a busy street but not soo much to be disturbed at night. The nearest subway station is 28 Street, line 6. She stops at Grand Central or Union Square and acts with Time Square, Rockfeller Center and Brooklyn too.
There is a 24-​hour front desk at this hotel. No need to ring the doorbell when we come back later from the city, we can enter and exit as one wishes. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The room we took contains a soft king size bed, a flat-​screen TV, and iHome clock-​radio. On the other hand, a large cupboard and a beautiful and big bathrooms with shower, hairdryer, bathrobes and toilets amenities in appropriate quantity for each persons.
One night for two (we took four) was approximatly 250 $, what i think totally reasonable in view of a lot of things like the period, the localisation or the comfort provided.

Réservé pour la période d’après fêtes de noël, The MAve Hotel a été une assez belle satisfaction.
Il est placé à moins de deux minutes à pied du Madison Square Park, là ou on trouve également le Flatiron Building. La rue est passante mais pas au point d’en être dérangé la nuit. Le métro le plus proche est la ligne 6 avec la station 28^th. Celle ci fait notamment des arrêts vers Grand Central ou Union Square et fait office de liaison rapide avec Time Square, Rockfeller Center ainsi que Brooklyn.
L’accueil est ouverte ²⁴⁄₂₄ et nul besoin de devoir sonner, quand on revient du centre ville tard le soir, pour pouvoir retourné à sa chambre. On entre et on sort comme on veut. Le personnel est avenant et disponible.
La chambre prise pour l’occasion dispose tout d’abord d’un lit king size bien moelleux, une télévision écran plat ainsi que d’une station pour ipod. D’autre part un large placard ouvert, enfin une belle et grande salle de bain avec douche, séchoir, peignoir et tout le nécessaire de produits et linges de toilettes en quantité approprié au nombre de personnes.
La nuit pour deux (on en as passé quatre) était à 230 € environ ce que j’estime tout à fait correct au vu de tas de critères tel que la période, l’emplacement ou encore le confort fourni.

I am shocked by the negative reviews for this hotel. My wife and I spent the Christmas Holiday here and was thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the hotels accommodations and the staff. I made a point to get names of the staff and I am leaving one of the few reviews that I leave because i feel that it is deserved.
Upon arrival at the hotel Felicia checked us in and gave us a run down of everything from valet and parking to cleaning service and final checkout info. she was one off the most delightful people ive ever dealt with at a hotel (which is a surprise because she was working Christmas eve and was still had a refreshing attitude and pleasantness in her voice).
My wife and I had basically brought all of our presents with us from South Carolina to New York city and planned on doing Christmas in our room. While taking our presents (about 25) of them to our room a gentlemen named Ordaine came out to my car and started carrying everything up to our room for us. I felt bad having him help carry it all but he had a very quiet demeanor and was also pleasant while assisting. As we rushed out the door in a hurry he was also quick to wave down a cab for us.
A lot of people have complained about the room size. Ours was no issue at all, We had the king size bed and it was plenty large for my wife and i, 2 large pieces of luggage, 3 garment bags, and 25ish presents. For the cost of 130 per night to be 5 min from times Square was perfect and very affordable. Upon arriving back at the hotel we found different people most every evening and morning, Perla, Jameia, Fernando, and of course the unforgettable Stewie (who will light into a cab driver if they try and mess you over by taking the long route… trust me). One evening my wife and I even pushed back our plans a little just to chat with the staff (we must have been leaving during shift change), so much culture diversity and information about NYC, I felt like i was jumping to a TV show, just listening to stories and bonoding with them. The hotel staff is what really made this trip memorable. They truly made it feel like a family atmosphere in the middle of the hustle and bustle of NYC life. Never had to wait for a cab, they were quick to give suggestions for restaurants and activities, and were extremely accommodating to all of our needs during our stay. When we come back to NYC, there is no doubt where we will stay.
Bed was very nice, room was clean, bathroom was clean as well, very trendy/​modern feel. Elevators were a little small,
there is a coffee shop attached to the bottom of the hotel, and a breakfast diner about 50 yds away, but they also served Croissants, bagels, and typical continental breakfast in the lobby.
Valet parking is available for $ 45 a day.

The staff was very helpful finding us a shuttle to the airport. The location is excellent (Shake Shack is at 5 minutes walking distance). The rooms and shower are big, the bed comfortable.
The breakfast was a joke. Not only there was no room so the guests were eating in front of the elevator or in their room, but it consisted of 3 pastries and coffee/​tea.

Super duper. Lobby is a little miami-​ish but the rooms are immaculate and quiet and well appointed. It’s a small room to be sure, but perfect. Loved it.

Très propre et personnels très accueillant et très serviable très bien situé au centre de manhathn près de station de métro
Si je doit retourner à NY j y retournerai

Do not stay here! The worst experience I’ve ever had in my life staying in a hotel. I arrived to check-​in the hotel at 3pm and my room wasn’t ready until 1 hour later. I was provided the wrong room key that didn’t work (twice). The front desk clerks was rude and seemed less concern about my hospitality. The king size room was smaller in person when compared to what I saw advertised online. There was a vacuum laying in the middle of the hallway floor right outside my hotel room that posed a safety hazard when leaving my room.

Room was small but clean. We expected it to be small in NYC, but I was pleasantly surprised at the clean room. Bathroom was nice and modern. Staff was friendly.

I booked this hotel on Priceline and had no idea what to expect. I was actually a little afraid since I’ve had a bad experience with a boutique hotel a couple of years back but to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here at The Mave.
They were out of rooms with 2 double beds so my friend and I shared a king sized bed which worked out fine. The room came with all the necesities; clean bed, clean toilet and shower, cable tv, a rack to hang our jackets, and a desk (that we only used to put all of our junk on). The staff was accomodating, one gentleman in particular (wish I got his name), looked like he was in charge, came up and brought us a extra blanket that we requested and also fixed our TV. For the most part, the staff stay out of your way unless you need help with something.
At night there was a lot of street noise, but in NYC that’s to be expected. It was a little rough on the first night but we got used to it and slept fine for the remainder of the week. The location was great, short 3 min walk to the subways, one block away from the park and the flat iron building, and lots of coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Guests have complimentary croissants, breads, and coffee in the morning until 9:30AM.
The price of the hotel was very reasonable. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks MAVE :)

First I’d like to say I only use Unilocal to locate places when I’m out of town, but my experience was so bad I felt beyond compelled to leave a review!!!
My recent trip was from 21 Jan — 25 Jan 2015. I arrived alone Wednesday 21^st and then my friend arrived Friday 23^rd. Check in wasn’t to much of a hassle although they couldn’t find my reservation with my name nor my confirmation info for a bit, but ultimately located it.
The room:
HORRIBLE!!! I stayed in room 1004 one bed sheets were dirty (not the dirty that looks like the stain couldn’t come out, but dirty like poop and food stains made an hour prior) I checked in late and too tired, so I just slept on other bed. The top drawer wouldn’t close at all was so annoying and the pillow in it was also uncomfortably filthy. Before leaving later that night to grab a late dinner I undid the sheets on the filthy bed and placed the dirty pillow to have them replace them. And by mistake I left money on the counter that was bill change a few dollars wrapped in a receipt from a purchase AND on top of that my normal household keys and my watch. When I returned to my room the money was gone! The bed remade with THE SAME FILTHY SHEETS AND SAME PILLOW. I called to complain the front desk only replied «oh she must’ve thought it was her tip» said she would contact housekeeping manager and they will immediately get back with me in the morning…(no one contacted me ONCE during my entire stay!!!) Front desk sent up someone to change my sheets and they told me verbatim «you going have to get out, so go sit downstairs I’ll let you know when ready» it is now like overly late in the evening, I’m exhausted, and now I’m trying to eat my dinner in the chair in the lobby. The rest of the trip continued with bad linen over and over and over. The fridge didn’t work. The tv service CONSTANTLY kept going out. The annoying top drawer not closing. The staff being very abrasive! The single positive I have is the location! I’m used to staying in flatiron Everytime I come to New York for work or vacation so this was a good spot.

If you’re looking for a full-​service hotel, this isn’t for you. It’s typical of many boutique hotels which pepper Manhattan. It’s a (very) small, older building with contemporary décor. The rooms are small, but you really don’t spend a lot of time in the room anyway in NYC, right? We were fortunate to have a room with a king bed that was surprisingly comfortable, though I understand that other rooms are barely big enough to accommodate a twin bed. The wall-​mounted flat screen TV is actually attached to a cable box with a surprisingly large amount of channels available including HBO. Unfortunately, all the cords and cables (and even an outlet strip) were just hanging there beneath the TV which was an OCD nightmare. The bathroom is small and lacks counter space. Okay, it lacks a counter entirely. We used the pull-​out drawer and the TV credenza to hold our toiletries. There is just a shower stall that is only half-​enclosed by a glass panel. The other half remains open, so soaking your bath mat is almost inevitable. The side with the glass panel is where the knob is to control the water, so you have to stand in the shower stall and move quick to turn on the water and avoid an icy spray until the water heats up (which is pretty fast). In the credenza was a minibar with a note stating that they are working on implementing it, but it wasn’t functioning yet. The A/​C isn’t centralized, but through a window unit that works well, but can be a little noisy (especially when the room is small). There’s also coffee/​tea/​hot chocolate available in the lobby in the morning along with a small selection of pastries, which were good. The rooms also have RFID electronic locks, which is nice. You won’t even have to take your key out of your wallet… just hold it up to the reader.
The hotel is in a great Midtown location, just a few blocks from the Empire State Building and subway stations. There is a Duane Reade nearby, too, so don’t worry if you forgot something. There’s an adjacent coffee shop and another sports bar that are both pretty decent. Room rates were very reasonable for Midtown Manhattan and all the staff was very pleasant.
The main reason I only gave it 3 stars is because of the lack of amenities, but it was still an overall positive experience and I would probably stay there again.

Fantastic location right in the middle of everything and located a block away from a subway station. I got a great deal on
, making this hotel very affordable as well. I already knew that the room was going to be small and only have a double bed, but I wasn’t planning on spending much time in the room anyway. It was perfect for an overnight stay with my boyfriend. The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly. They kept our bags secured after we checked out even though the bags also included a large 2’x3’ box. I would definitely stay again. My only complaint is that the Internet was very slow on my phone because the service was lacking in the room and I did not want to pay for wifi.

I was staying with a friend during my NYC trip and decided to treat myself to a night at a hotel. I didn’t want to spend too much money, and got a great price for the Mave Hotel through HotelTonight. Checking in I was given an upgrade to the Blvd Deluxe King and the room was wonderful and very comfortable.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when booking this on HotelTonight, but I’d consider this place a good staple. No frills, reasonably priced and the rooms were clean.
I know NYC hotels are small, but that doesn’t bother me because how much time are you really in your room anyway? However, when the guy checked us in and gave us a free «upgrade» I was thinking something a little bigger than what I’d consider a normal room. While I’m grateful, I’d hate to see how tiny a regular room is!
Again, clean rooms, reasonably priced and no bugs. Not too shabby.

I genuinely wish I could have given this hotel 3 stars or higher, but I couldn’t.
The Good
— Location: can walk to Times Square in 20 minutes; subways around the corner
— Pricing: extremely reasonable
— Room: clean, modern, comfortable
The Bad
— Wrongly advertised «free» WiFi: they claim to provide «free WiFi access» on their website and yet, we were charged $ 9.95 per 24 hour use
— Subpar customer service: felt absolutely no sincerity or even a warm welcome, the staff seemed mostly apathetic
— Room space: cramped for the Urban Full, but can’t say for the other rooms
— Amenities: close to none, no coffeemaker, no microwave, no fridge. We can deal without the latter two, but NO COFFEEMAKER? Isn’t it customary now for hotels to provide a coffeemaker?
Overall, not devastating. So what was the problem?
The hotel staff were quick to jump to conclusions and were reluctant to reverse their actions. My husband and I encountered a rather nasty situation that involved the hotel, but they refused to give any sort of assistance or take responsibility.
We’re never booking this hotel again due to their stupidity and ambivalence.

Very basic to the point where even the windows are old and the exterior is thoroughly nondescript though we appreciate any older architecture, this hotel was absolutely perfect for us. We are New Yorkers so don’t need fancy concierges or other services. We aren’t hanging in our room all day. But the bed was crisps and comfy, and was triple sheeted. Why can’t every place triple sheet? Plenty of space to put your stuff as long as you’re not moving in. Very bright and clean bathroom though I would have liked a few extra towels in basic set up. They would have been happy to accommodate if needed. Only gripe is a/​c is a window unit so air doesn’t reach the bathroom. Essen across the street is great to grab breakfast. Their oatmeal and fruit bar was healthy and perfect.
Great location steps from Madison Square Park and the important Museum of Sex!

L hotel est super bien placé (donc le bruit de la rue va avec et oui on peu pas tout avoir…), les chambres sont impeccables, le personnel efficace! J y retournerai sans hésiter!

Boa localização, atendimento cordial, quarto confortável e limpo, banheiro excelente. Uma opção assertiva para quem busca conforto. Dispõe de wifi paga e há uma delicatessen atravessando a rua. O metro (linha verde) está há 2 blocos.

Avoid at all costs! I booked this hotel 9 days in advance to a meeting and they contacted me via email at 6pm the day before my reservation to say that my reservation has been «relocated.» Later I found out they overbooked by 5 rooms. Completely unacceptable, I had even called a few days prior to the reservation to confirm, and they said everything is set. If you read other reviews you will find that this is not the first or last time they’ve overbooked, they are either greedy, incompetent, or a mix of both.
Scamming pieces of shit.

Immaculately clean room with a terrific King bed. We were in room 706, which according to the floor plan is the largest one on the floor. It was compact but there was plenty of room to move around. The décor is simple and restful — one might say the décor is a bit cheap, but I’m glad they spent their money on premium bedding, where it counts. It is an older building. We did not note any of the problems some other reviewers reported: water pressure and hot water were fine, city noises were audible but distantly.
We heard a small dog bark in another room (audible in hallway, not in our room). Either the hotel is pet-​friendly or someone smuggled the dog in.
Breakfast is now a voucher for a coffee and muffin right across the street at Essen — this is a sensible solution: the coffee is always hot and fresh this way.
Ice came up within 3 minutes each time and they didn’t linger for a tip, though we tipped $ 2 each time. Reception staff were always pleasant. Valet parking was quick and efficient and no more costly than self-​parking. Overall it was easy in, easy out.
I would say it’s a very nice bare-​bones hotel. It doesn’t quite have the extra amenities that make for a true boutique hotel, though. If you need to be fawned over by an obsequious staff, this won’t do. I prefer to be left alone.
The location is great: close by Jazz Standard and the Jazz Gallery, the museum of sex and the museum of math, and the lovely Madison square park. A moderate walk to most midtown locations. High and low cuisine are plentiful. Check out the taqueria two doors north on Madison Ave. Breakfast tamales!
We will be back.

Modern, sleek and my room (Blvd deluxe king) was plenty big. Had to come to the NY office on short notice, and the Mave was the only hotel in the area with availability and still under $ 500 (other than flea bags)
Did the trick without doing much more– I grabbed a complimentary coffee in the am, USA today, good TV, decent bathroom.
It isnt on par with nearby options like the Gansevoort, Giraffe, Roger Williams etc– but in December when my T&E budget is all but gone, i stayed in minimalist style for a reasonable rate.
