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.

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

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!!!

It’s the type of place that you never want to checkout of. I can’t wait to visit the city, again. I am definitely going to book this place. I never even got to take advantage of all that I wanted to. This place is perfect; especially, if you are in need of quiet time & a space away from the people in your life & all of the drama that they bring. Thanks Nolita! ;) (& Steve at the front desk.)
