It was more convinient then I expected for such small rooms. They let me use their fridge to store my soy milk to eat breakfast comfortably. Gave me an umbrella when it was rainning. It was pretty close to the train and to chinatown.

Livne, Israel

Liked the corner cabin which offered more space and light.

Margit, United States of America

The location was very good, close to where our bus dropped us off from NJ and also near Chinatown and Little Italy. The lobby was also nice and they provided free wi-fi.

Russell, United States of America

room was clean and inexpensive and in a good part of town

Star, United States of America

If you are comfortable with shared bathrooms and cozily-small rooms, you cannot ask for more interesting and well-situated accommodations in Manhattan. It's across the street from the New Museum (which has the best art museum gift store I've ever visited); and, behind the hotel, the shops, restaurants, and parks of Nolita provide ample space for dreamily sauntering. Beautiful common areas, a rooftop with a view, and the friendly and knowledgable staff round out the experience.

David, United States of America

I loved that the subway to Williamsburg was less than a minutes walk from the hotel. Art galleries snuggled across the road as well as a few doors down. Chinatown and little Italy are right there too! Great spot if you don't wanna be in the thick of NYC. Cool spot.

Kerri, Australia

The soap / shampoo / conditioner they provided smelled and felt so good! Cozy but comfortable, all the space you need and felt secure.

Laura, United States of America

Staff was really friendly. Check in process just took minutes. Are is great! Nolita is so nice and Soho and East Vilalge are just around the corner. Price/quality is good, it's cheaper than other accommodations. The room is really small and you have to know there is an open ceiling, but there are walls. Single bed. I find it a great alternative to a hostel and it was clean and comfortable. I paid for the bigger room with window. Worth it.

Anjezzz, United Kingdom

Really like the staff - very friendly, gave me a lot of advices.

Mac, Russia

Staff is extremely nice! there is just one guy that was the exception but 99% of the time I was treated very well. Bathrooms are very clean and the place in general looks new.

눉I was expecting a private cabin (not a thatched roof). The other guests were not respectful of maintaining a quiet level and I didn't sleep well. The bed was rather short (ok for me, but not for anyone over 5'2). The staff were very "cool" and did their job, but were not particularly welcoming or helpful. This is a great place for young people who want something trendy/funky/hip and are not concerned with kindness or comfort.
눇Good location. The space had a lovely design aesthetic that preserved old New York art deco, wood and leather. The rooftop was quite pleasant and I could smoke there.

눉Couldn't really make it dark in the room. Hope they take care of that, putting some kind of roof or just having the possibility for some cover.

“Great location, friendly staff!”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room with Window
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The ladies shower/bathroom were flooded (up to an 1") the entire time. Super slippery. The shower stalls are so small that you have to change outside in the bathroom (that is flooded) and there is only one hook outside of the stall to hang your belongings. No where else to put things and keep them from getting wet.
눇Liked the corner cabin which offered more space and light.

눉The layout of the sleeping area (open ceiling) assumes that the other patrons will follow the house rules, and exercise some common courtesy on noise. Unfortunately, on occasion, some people don't. Not within the control of staff though.
눇The location was really convenient and staff really helpful and accommodating. The place has an interesting format and the French fixtures in the bathrooms give it a touch of luxury which is nice for the price.

“An isolation chamber with no top. An airbnb couch is a better deal.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Tiny cubicle. There is no ceiling in the little chamber so you can hear all the other people snoring, farting, coughing, sneezing, and doing whatever they do crystal clear. At 4am it gets active and loud throughout the building, maybe because bars close? Shared bathroom. That night I dreamed I was on a ship during 1889 emigrating from Europe to New York.
눇I did like that I did not have to sleep on the street. Also how lucky that I am shorter than 6 foot, otherwise I would not be able to lay down flat in the room, well maybe if diagonally. I think it measured 6' X 4' with no ceiling by the way.

“Our stay from Marlton, NJ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Full Cabin
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The noise made it difficult to sleep - including slamming of the door to the bedroom areas, people coming in all hours of the night and bodily noises. We were near the A/C unit so it helped drown a few lower level noises.
눇The location was very good, close to where our bus dropped us off from NJ and also near Chinatown and Little Italy. The lobby was also nice and they provided free wi-fi.

“Not worth the price”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉It was incredibly noisy with people watching videos and having sex all night. The cabins are far more open than I had come to understand. The staff didn't enforce quiet rules so I got no sleep the entire time I was there. They also charged me more than what I booked with Booking and refused to speak to me and explain - simply ignoring me and speaking to others. The bathrooms were okay, but the shower area was always super wet and slippery. I just would never stay here again.

눉The open rooftop would be so fine if it weren't for other guests, the only problem is other people ignoring the the rules, like don't talk on the phone in the cabin, have it on silent etc. so be nice and thoughtful when you stay. Also I'm 5.9 and couldn't actually fit in the bed but I adapted and it was fine.
눇I loved that the subway to Williamsburg was less than a minutes walk from the hotel. Art galleries snuggled across the road as well as a few doors down. Chinatown and little Italy are right there too! Great spot if you don't wanna be in the thick of NYC. Cool spot.
