Open air rooms

Staff

Stayed in August 2025

Rooms are open in the ceiling, so you hear everything. It is very cold at night. The water in the showers is always boiling hot

Individual rooms which give you privacy

Stayed in August 2025

Bed and mattress were absolutely horrible! 2 showers and 1 toilet for men for the entire floor. But somehow never really busy.

Location is perfect. A few minutes walk from subway, Chinatown and Little Italy. You have your own little room which is nice. Good place for a few nights

The "rooms" could be a bit bigger at least to allow space to open a suitcase. For female bathrooms, there can be more than one hairdryer. Also the showers were really small, it was hard to fit in.

The location was really good and good rate compared to other places in Soho. It was good to have a locked door for each bed unlike the usual hostel layout. Staff were friendly, being able to leave the luggage after the checkout helped.

Whatever the air freshener or cleaning product is that is a constant smell in the building was over powering at times and made me feel unwell.

Quiet, private, clean and friendly/helpful staff! A unique stay!

The location was really good

The space was very small, I couldn't even open my suitcase in the room, so I had to open it in the corridor. However, it is a hostel, not a hotel and you do get your own room. The open ceiling meant that you could hear people walking through the corridors and opening and closing their doors at night. The air con was quite cold, especially when all that was provided was a thin sheet.

Definitely the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. The place was beautifully decorated, especially the communal areas and the bathrooms. It felt very luxurious. The staff were lovely and helpful. The areas were very clean and the bed was very comfortable.

This review has been hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

Because the bedrooms are open there is a light insode the space the whole night. The beds are a little too short (I'm 167 cm).

The staff is great and everything very clean. Beautiful design of the open spaces and great located.

The "rooms" are basically just a very simple bed with an iron frame — like a military bunk with a slab of foam instead of a proper mattress. Not very comfortable, to say the least. Each bed is enclosed by wooden walls that separate the adjacent cabins, but the ceiling is open, so you're constantly disturbed by other guests' noises. The signs everywhere threatening a $100 fine for noise make no difference: people talk, answer their phones, snore, have a shower forgetting the phone in room with alarm clock ON, and slam doors. It's therefore hard to sleep well — and I am someone who normally sleeps extremely deeply... Each bed-unit has very little free space to put a suitcase, barely more than one square meter. There are no properly sized shelves and far too few hooks. On the floor there are more than 30 of these "rooms", all lined up like cells in a beehive. For that number of guests the floor provides 1 toilet, 2 sinks and 2 showers — clearly insufficient. In the showers and the sink you cannot regulate the water temperature, which alternates unpredictably between polar-cold and scalding hot. The common area also has very few power outlets, which is inconvenient when you need to charge a laptop or smartphone.

On the plus side: the property is in a very trendy, pleasant neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and small bars, and it’s close to the subway and a supermarket. By New York City standards it offers "cabins" at good prices — I paid EUR 82 per night in August. The common area is small but cozy and well furnished. All areas have good air conditioning. Guests have complete freedom to choose their check‑in and check‑out times.

I think because of limited space these premises don't have a lift but they can add an escalator instead of that, It might be helpful to get more business and convenient for guests.

Location wise it's really nice.

The treatment

Stayed in May 2025

Could be noisy at night

Stayed only forone night, however the staff was helpful with the check in. Also appreciated clean bathrooms even though the property was quite busy. Wifi did work great. There is a small kitchen to store your food.

Nothing is luxurious, but nothing is horrible. Not a hotel experience, but a hostel with elevated privacy!

Its an affordable option, you’re not in a luxury hotel but for what it is I feel like you get value for your money. The pictures are a true representation of what to expect. Location is great. Its somewhere between a hostel and a private room: its much better and more peaceful & private than just sharing a room with bunk beds with strangers, but not quite a private hotel room as the ceilings are open and you hear other peoples alarms etc., however people were respectful of each other and I had no trouble sleeping. Bit of a random experience, but ahead of my stay the room layout did make me think about fire safety, just a thought that crossed my mind. Lo and behold, on my first morning I wake up to a 6AM fire alarm (later found out another guest had accidentally set a small fire) and I can now attest that the fire alarms and evacuation all worked rapidly and effectively in case you are a bit paranoid about these things like me. The fire brigade was outside in less than 2 minutes and the staff dealt with the situation extremely well even though in the end there was no danger. Slept well the second night!

No elevator, staying at the 3th floor. Not cool! I couldn't carry my luggage upstairs and anyway that would have not been space for it in my room

Location is perfect, very nice area indeed

I wish the beds were taken better care of, cause they are often stained and damaged But the overall experience in great

Stayed in July 2025

Bathroom and shower. There is a mattress on the floor, it’s so wet after someone used it, I think that I could wipe it up if there is floor mop. It will be more clean and comfortable.

Location and staff were very kind. I rent an electric bike there I could enjoy to explore the city so much! I recommend to rent a bicycle if you can.

The ceilings made me paranoid

The lobby was nice and the staff were so respectful

If you are a light sleeper, you will have a hard time to fall asleep as you can hear everyone coming in and out of the cabins. Still, I found it was fine for a night, and I will come back for short stays.

Tiny rooms. Bed slightly uncomfortable. Open ceiling so you can hear everyone on your floor, earplugs are recommended while sleeping. One bathroom per floor but they have free shampoo. Facility slightly dirty. Checkout time is 10 AM with a $25 fee per hour if you are late. $50 dollar security deposit which you will get back at the end of your stay.

Very low cost housing option compared to most other places in NYC. Free Wi-Fi. Free water dispenser. Nice lounge. Very friendly staff. Nice location.
