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

Great value, great location, nice staff.
Donald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's a cupboard with no ceiling but clean. The lack of ceiling means that it is not completely quiet, and the bed is more of a cot.

Will stay again

Cheap and cheerful. I found it to be easy and in an excellent location, people were friendly and the space was remarkably quiet day and night time.
Timothy, 3-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

Nolita Express Experiment

My Stay was OK, served it's purpose one night stay. It was an experiment and the location was close to a business fair. A little stuffy and warm too! Noisy truck traffic.... double pane windows would help. The beds were short I'm 5,8 ft and my feet hit the wall. Mattress old and little support.
Great Neighborhood restaurants

Two nights

Two night stay. Great for the price. However, your experience will depend upon the people staying in the rooms around you. There are no ceilings, so you hear everything. 1st night was rough. Person behind me was snacking and vaping. It was noisy and smelly. Person in front of me was talking on the phone at 12:30am. Second night was better, but noises still woke me up.

Great for solo travel

It was a really nice place and a great location. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought that the staff were really helpful. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t a luxury stay but it did the job, and I can’t complain! Would recommend to solo travellers who are looking to visit New York on a budget.
Jimmie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was great! The cleanliness was ok...restocking TP seemed to be an issue The noise level was a bit too much at some points The outlets were TERRIBLE. My electronics kept falling out!

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

Great place to stay on a budget

I was in NYC for 2 nights for a few meetings and didn’t want to spend a ton of money, so I stayed at the Nolita Express. It’s not fancy, but it’s great “bang for your buck.” You get a simple, clean, small, private room. There’s no ceiling to the rooms (I’m assuming due to zoning laws), so you can hear your neighbors snore/make noise, if they do… but I generally found it to be pretty quiet. Plus, they have earplugs at the front desk if you want them. The bed itself is small and not necessarily the most comfortable, but again, not bad given the price. The common areas, including the bathrooms, are surprisingly nice and clean. My only complaint is that the shower was quite hot and difficult to control the temperature on. Aside from that, it was all better than I expected. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, well-located place to stay in NYC, this is a great option. I would definitely come back in the future.

The place has good staff, room is small and shared bathroom has small showers. But for the price and location its really good.
Donald, 2-night trip

It's always clean. The staff are very friendly.
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Strange having to be so quiet. Not allowed to have visitors. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Bed was comfortable. Lounge was very nice. This an actual old time flop house. Not that there are old drunks flopping for the night, there were polite travelers. Nice staff good location to Soho and Lower East Side bars.
James, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Not cool but for the price it’s ok just the bed size if you are tall. You are not going to fit , the first day people where making a lot of noise but I mean for what you pay it’s not bad

For a solo traveler, this is a big step up from a hostel dorm bed. Great location! The common spaces are charming and comfortable. All the basics — bed, linens, shared bathrooms — are good, not great.

Loved this place! Easy to walk to from my bus stop and close to restaurants/subway stations. Only issue was street noise and they happened to be out of earplugs.
Claire, 1-night trip

Brian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The young lady at the front counter was extremely helpful and very nice
Joanna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Rooms aren’t really separated - there’s no ceiling and it feels more like cubicles than separate rooms. Because of that, I couldn’t sleep before midnight because of people moving around and got woken up every 15 minutes as of 4am because of alarms going off and others opening / closing doors. I would never stay here again.
Gabriel, 1-night trip
