This is a very nice place to stay. Very clean, quiet. It was great having a kitchen because prices in restaurants are so high these days. I was able to have a good time with my friends when I was out, because I knew I was saving money eating at the Nolita a few times a day.

It being New York City this is pretty cheap. The building is old charming and is in a great part of town. The issue I have is that there is one washrroom to facilitate up to twenty people per floor. The showers are very very very small. Very. And the washroom fits maybe three people. As for the loud snoring etc that’s what you get with this style of accommodation.

Nolita Express Hostel is like walking into another era of NYC, the decor and the atmosphere is eclectic. The location is super convenient and that area of SoHo is the best. Sleeping chambers were small of course but if all you are there to do is sleep & shower it’s fine. I would absolutely book this again as a cost effective option in NYC.

Flooded bathroom - daily. No air conditioning- unbearably hot. Noisier than a frat house. Worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life.

Areas aren’t cleaned, lounge area stayed unclean for the entire weeks stay, questionable if the commons areas were reset or cleaned each day.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall the place is older and the level of cleanliness could be improved. The rooms get reset but the sheets and items left for use are questionable if they’re cleaned for the next occupant. Bathrooms seem clean but issue with the toilet paper dispensers they use that are sofpull so you’re lucky if you get any toilet paper to wipe yourself before it gets stuck - it’s horrible. The draining system caused several backups in both the sinks in the women’s cabins along with a toilet overflowing. Overall this place felt really uncomfortable and it’s on the low end of liklihood recommending here to anyone else.
