I had visited Mercer before but hadn't stayed there. It had the kind of buzz that excited me. Pretty people move in and out of the hotel. The lobby / hangout area / restaurant works very well as the fulcrum of the hotel. The rooms were on the smaller side but then again it is New York. Overall we enjoyed... More

My wife and I enjoyed a four days stay at The Mercer in April. The Studio room was spacious and very comfortable - the bathroom in particular, with very high quality towels/bathrobes and amenities. Also the bed and the textiles in the bedclothes were experienced as being particularly comfortable and of high quality. The only negative experience in the room... More

• The staff is amazing. I didn't order a pink grand piano to my room, but an early check-in and a late check-out was handled with no hassle and even smiles. • The location kicks some serious behind. Very much in the middle of Soho. Very convenient. A busy street corner without being a crazy street corner. • The design... More

This was our second stay at the Mercer. We spent three nights at the hotel. We returned to the hotel because of its excellent location in the heart of SOHO and because of its comfortable, if fairly small rooms. This time we stayed in a Mercer room. It was slightly larger than the Courtyard room we had last time, though... More

A nice hotel for the superb location in Soho with an exclusive feel (lack of signage and photography restrictions to cater for the rich and famous). Expensive for the actual facilities though, so I won't be returning.

Rooms loft like but quite small. Great concierge who gets you great tables at hard to get in restaurants. Staff friendly and cool. Walk out and see New York, great location. Small but quite iconic hotel. Good restaurant in house, great for breakfast.

Very best location in Soho Ny. Minute walk for the most popular cafes; restaurants in downtown. Most probably one of the meeting points of all Newyorkers. Nice food served with in nice atmosphere. Comfortable rooms with a high price but Very good service and stuff who are so friendly makes U feel Very good.

Mercer is without doubt a great location in Soho. It appears very trendy with lots of people in the lobby milling about. The rooms are small but you sort of expect that from NY. Bathroom is great, lovely huge bath and shower. Toiletries a decent size which was nice. Like most of the other reviews, it certainly isn't cheap but... More

Unfortunately I was disappointed with my stay at the mercer. We frequent many hotels and the service here is definitely not up to scratch. The staff was not exactly helpful and can be condescending to customers. The rooms were small but expected for New York standards and the rooms a little bland. Key point is that the windows were not... More

Excellent location for shopping, eating, or visiting your college kid. There's no fitness center, but they set us up at a nearby gym. Excellent breakfast, yummy food at the Mercer Kitchen. And what a nice big room, light and bright--a welcome surprise in Manhattan. The lobby/bar is great for people-watching. You might see a famous fashion designer or author sipping... More
