Cheap and cheerful. I found it to be easy and in an excellent location, people were friendly and the space was remarkably quiet day and night time.

Great for solo travel
It was a really nice place and a great location. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought that the staff were really helpful. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t a luxury stay but it did the job, and I can’t complain! Would recommend to solo travellers who are looking to visit New York on a budget.

During all interactions I had with the staff everyone was super welcoming and respectful. The building itself had a cool atmosphere and the room I stayed in was clean. Although You can hear pretty much everything going on around you as there is no roof to your individual room, most people were respectful and kept noise down

Strange having to be so quiet. Not allowed to have visitors. Bathrooms and showers were clean.
Bed was comfortable. Lounge was very nice.
This an actual old time flop house. Not that there are old drunks flopping for the night, there were polite travelers. Nice staff good location to Soho and Lower East Side bars.

For a solo traveler, this is a big step up from a hostel dorm bed. Great location! The common spaces are charming and comfortable. All the basics — bed, linens, shared bathrooms — are good, not great.

I booked a room, but it was not a room. It was two walls without a roof in a dark maze in a massice hall full of people. There was one restroom per 40 or more people. Someone was shouting on the phone all night, I didnt get barely any sleep. It smelled terrible too and luggage didn’t fit into the ”room”. I’m a short person and yet the bed was too short. There were blood stains on the sheets. Prisons at home are better.

This s an unusual place. The rooms are like little cubby holes. Absolute no frills. Just a bed. But comfortable. There is no ceiling, so one hears every snorer, and sounds. But the rooms are safe. Checking in was

You basically pay the price for the location. The room is only for a small bed. You could hear all the sounds of the whole floor, no noise canceling.

Great stay!
I’ve stayed in several hostels and this one far exceeded my expectations. The smallness of the room was totally fine! Bathrooms always clean. Nice kitchen was also clean. Felt very safe there. Loved being on the female only floor. Comfortable sitting in the living room in my pajamas!

I was confused on how to check in at first because I just got off of a long trip to get there. I was tired and ready to go to bed so I gave a bad review (which you guys should ignore). But once somebody realized I was in distress and helped me check in, I was GREAT!!! I TRULY enjoyed my stay so much. The location was right on point!! The price was SUPER affordable and the neighborhood was pretty AND safe!!! From here on our, when I come to Manhattan, I'm staying at the NOLITA EXPRESS!!!
