Perfectly fine .. door slamming not funny

The Hostel Was Perfectly Fine the only Criticism i have as Regarding about the Noise levels i think its ridiculous that u can be fined £100 and asked to vacate the property even thought all the door locks and slammi g of the doors isnt quiet and had actually ruined my sleep for the 2 nights ... with constant banging of doors at 7-8am

Exceeded expectations

Booked a last minute trip to NY during Christmas, and this was all I could find that wasn't $1k+ a night, so I wasn't expecting to much. This place is awesome. The room was much better than I thought, yeah the ceilings are open, but it's whatever. I LOVED the septate men's and women's floors it made me feel very safe. The line for the bathrooms gets a little crowded in the am, but it's whatever. The location is perfect! I walked around and solo at all different times and always felt safe. It's like a 5 min walk to Little Italy, and like 10 mins to China Town. Nice and clean, very cute decor.

This is the first time I’ve stayed at this hostel and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is! The common spaces are beautiful and I spent a lot of time in the common area on the women’s floor. My only complaint is that it got really hot in my room and it made it a little hard to sleep. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my stay and I’ll happily stay here again! :)

If you are looking for a place to lay your head at night this is a great place. Staff is great, room was clean. Only downside is it is super loud in there. The ceiling is open so you can hear everyone in the dorm with you. The walls are super thin so you can hear walking, whispering, pretty much any of the smallest sounds. Don’t expect to get any sleep here. Other than that location is great, list of stuff around. Staff very friendly

Stays at hostels are challenging for Americans with very thin wall in this one. The snoring can be quite loud along with conversations in the common spaces just outside the bed cells.

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!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Hostile had nice seating areas lounging area decorated nicely, but they only have one male bathroom one toilet for the whole floor and only two showers plus the walls are very thin and they only go up 8 feet or so and there’s no ceiling except for a cloth and you can hear people coughing rummaging through their belongings phones going off throughout the night slamming doors. People were not considerate. I had scheduled four nights there. I left the first night because the person next to me was coughing and sneezing I ended up getting hostile at US hotel 106 Bower St. Very quiet there slept like a baby more bathrooms available bigger showers the staff though was very nice and helpful and professional I will not stay here again
