It was just perfect for I need at the moment of the visit to New York.
Francisca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A guest brought in a guest and was noisy; Snoring next cubicle which disturbed my sleep as rooms are not sound proofed; of course the hotel would not know such.
Ziyanai, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic, but decent value

The communal areas are nice, as per the photos. The rooms are very basic, what you would expect for a hostel rather than a hotel and a cheap price. If all you want to use the room for is to sleep, it's fine. Ear plugs and sleep mask provided for free.
Andrew, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I've stayed here a few times. Every time it got worse to the point now I can no longer even feel good about the lower cost. This last time was the final straw. I arrived at my booking, I entered the room code, there was ALREADY SOMEONE SLEEPING THERE!

Short but Sweet Stay

Loved it! Cheap, clean, showers were nice & hot despite reviews saying otherwise. Only stayed for 1 night and would stay again!
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The cabins are tiny and bed was small (but comfortable mattress). Everything was very clean and I felt safe the entire time I was there. Ceiling of the cabin is open (lattice on top) so you will have noise and light from others to deal with. It was perfect for me for the 48 hours I was in the city going to shows and visiting friends because I used it just as a place to store belongings and sleep. The bed was short and fit right between two walls so if you are a very tall person (I'm 5'7) you probably will struggle to sleep comfortably. Overall, an excellent deal for the price and fit my needs but you definitely can't go in expecting a regular hotel experience.
Liska, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This place won’t be for everyone. They are closet sized rooms with open ceilings.
Chris, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The check-in process was virtual and convenient. The luggage could be stored in the storage space they provided post check out . The foyer area was large and spacious particularly in the ladies floor with very comfortable furniture to lounge around, eat , work . Highly recommend Nolita
Teena, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great, stayed 6 nights. All was quiet except for the first night, someone with definite issues walking the place. More than a great deal in Manhattan for a solo female. Wonderful subway access, area
Kristin, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great staff, place is good just to lay your head down but not call home. Be prepared for the randomness of guests. Don’t expect a good night sleep just good enough to rest. Privacy is guaranteed.
ROBERTO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you do not scare of the old look in the beginning, It takes to give it a shot. I liked it. The place looks old. But It has a character. I liked it.

Nolita express

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
Brighton, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was handy for me
nicholas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

So overall grateful for an affordable place to stay with very nice people overall. This place tries- but also need to make it clear you are essentially sharing the night with 28 people im the same room. Doors and automatic locks opening and closing, snoring, ect. For the most part the people staying there were lovely, kind respectful except for one person who decided to watch TV at 12am in the sleeping area at full decimal. There are clear signs of a $100 fee- I asked her kindly to stop. She kept blaring it. Someone else shouted out obscenities at her - still didn't stop and finally it wasn't until someone got up and threatened to get the front desk involved that she turned it off. So the truth is you just don't know the combinations of personalities you may get. But overall the location was perfect and everything else easy enough.

It was Awesome overall.
Jaime, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is basically a self storage building but for humans. The pods are closets that don’t even have ceilings. It’s basically cubicles with doors. Would never return.
