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 really enjoyed staying at this location and would have extended my stay had the rooms not all sold out. It's in a neighborhood close to everything, food, shopping, transportation. The rooms and facilities were very well maintained. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Definitely somewhere I'll be booking again in the future.

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

Stayed in the female dorm. There was a rave happening in the building or the next building over, and the base was thudding through the floor from 10:30 pm to 4 am. Made it impossible to sleep, even with headphones or earplugs.

I would rather stay at those 12 people per room dorm. This hostel is basically doing the same thing but put you with 30 more people in the same floor. The only benefit is that it has a door to lock your room.

The washroom was kind of small, and there was a rat present. But you get what you pay for in NYC and I think it was probably worth it relatively speaking!
