The loosely cris crossed ceiling feels unsafe. Eating inside the room is prohibited. The efforts to make it look safe by not using actual keys or keycard but rather two sets of number combinations sent thru phone is inconvenient. What was sent to mine was different to what combination that actually worked. Sofa upholstery was way too old and stained. Stairs are very steep. No elevator. Housekeeping- no English.

It can be quiet during the day but not so during the night when you need to get some sleep. Adjacent guests were making a lot of noise despite advisories to be quiet or a penalty can be imposed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There are no ceilings above the rooms just a wooden lattice similar to a lattice fence from Home Depot. This means you hear everyone that passes by your door. There are rules, like no audible music or talking. But of course one fool insisted on talking from 1am to 2am on the phone, maybe 3 cubicles down from me. The place needs go close down for renovations to solve these issues. and better enforcement of rules would help. Just avoid this place.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff, cleanliness, bed, and security within the building were very good. The bed was comfortable, toilet, sink and shower areas clean, and I found noise generated within the building to be at a minimum. The water was at a scalding temperature all the time while signs hung in the shower saying limited hot water - while using the toilet and then shaving a half dozen guys would shower and the water remained scalding. I presume the water is kept by management at such a high unusable temperature to limit it's use which I found both unsatisfactory and unsafe. Also, outside the property there is so much noise that will be heard within the building if that is an issue for you. Homeless and drug addicts are outside this property on both sides of the block however, I personally did not have an issue with that but, be aware. This place is well located to many restaurants, bars, events, and clubs / venues which seem to run until the morning hours and seemed to be well sought out.

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.
