Nolita express is an historical building served as a military campus back on 1927. Today the building is fully renovated, and its location is downtown Manhattan close to all the most animated neighbourhoods ! Also , it’s charming and classy, the decoration is French style, and we can hear jazz music all around the common areas of the hostel. I was lucky to be there for one week and I was one of the first clients. In the beginning I had a small room , after the manager upgraded me to a double room for the same price ! Both 2 managers and ALL staff were great and I appreciate their help. Every time I was asking for something they were listening and paying attention. Bathrooms and kitchen are very clean. Rooms don’t have a ceiling and this is normal : we could not breathe otherwise ! It’s normal also that we hear noises of other people sleeping, it’s a hostel. But if we see the prices of the hotels in NY, living in Nolita hostel is the best option. Also I was feeling very secure in the hostel : 24h/24h there is someone in the entrance and also there all a lot of security cameras I was lucky and I strongly recommend it to everyone else.

Look. You get what you pay for. These are cheap as hell hotels, so don’t go expecting much. In fact, reframe your thoughts and rather than bash the place for lack of amenities, small rooms, not hospital grade cleanliness, etc, appreciate that it’s cheap, you get what you need, and you’re near all the places you’d want to be in NYC. So if you start off with this frame of mind, as far as 1-star hotels go, this fits the bill perfectly lol I picked a double with no windows and a shared bathroom and it was fine. I wanted a bed, some place to keep my stuff while in town, and a bathroom to shower and shit. If your needs are similar to mine, then go ahead and book. As my rule, I bring shower shoes and a pillow case, and buy some cheap disinfecting wipes as a precaution for less than stellar cleanliness and I did use all of them except the case because I forgot and it made the place better for me to stay. Perhaps you could do the same. I saw the ladies cleaning the bathroom and mopping the floor so they do clean. I should note that this is an old building so take that into account. And the staff were friendly. No complaints in that department either.

The rooms were good, the bathrooms clean (as far as that is possible with several users), the location was perfect for a weekend to explore the city! And you occasionally meet nice people in the kitchen to chat.

    I was expecting typical tiny closet sized NYC accommodation but the 6 bed dorm room was bigger than my house! I felt super comfortable and enjoyed having the bathroom attached to the room as well. The facilities of the hostel were also great with a kitchen and cheap vending machines as well as a massive library selection and gaming room.
