Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Sleeping pods, bed first night was bad but they let me switch rms. Staff was nice. Common areas were decent, liked that everywhere is basically a quiet area. There is a club nextdoor that goes to 1 am on Saturdays but the hostel does provide earplugs and eye masques. It did kind of smell like sleep, would be better if they had air filters. If you dont want to spend a lot ir just want a place to sleep this is a decent choice, right next to Chinatown and Little Italy...

Analisa

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms themselves are comfortable and common areas are cute and cozy. However, if you’re at all a light sleeper, good luck. The doors to the rooms slam shut loudly and people come and go at all hours of the night so you hear it constantly. My neighbor also snored and they might as well have been in the same room as me, with how the sound travels.

Bethany

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Adorably decorated building. Clean bathrooms, common areas, etc. First time staying at a hostel, so pleasantly surprised. The open ceilings in the cabins were a bit rough as every little sound may keep you up if a sensitive sleeper. Bed was comfortable enough, with the cabin big enough for only one bag with some hooks for other things. Would stay again, especially considering the price.

I discovered the Nolita Express in the Spring of 2025. It’s an absolute treasure in the heart of Chinatown & the Bowery! Very comfortable! Great little Kitchen / Dining area. Great parlor room! I have stayed here 4 times this year and recommended it to a friend who stayed at the hotel and loved it as much as I do!!! Check it out! Kraige Block

The staff was responsive and polite. The cleaning crew did a very good job of keeping the hostile and all of the common spaces quite clean. I felt very safe. All of the guests were polite. My only disappointment was bed was quite uncomfortable.
