Stayed here for 2 nights and it was a lovely hostel. Beautifully decorated and loved how there was a floor just for women. Felt safe staying here and would go back again. Very good location and lovely staff.
Location was awesome, close to train lines. Fridge available but no stove. Grocery close by. Great for city dwellers used to noise, but not a quiet sleeping situation with people talking, their alarms, club downstairs. Was super clean and a great price, given Manhattan. Great for solo travel.

staff were helpful
location was perfect
just too cramped for anything
The only problem I had was the towel provided was too small as I am plus size. Other than that it was great and could definitely see myself staying there again.
In one word, my stay at Nolita Express was wonderful!! I extended twice and stayed for just under 2 wks as I work in Nolita.
There is a clear preface before one books a room there that the beds are a certain length and there is no elevator. Confused at the negative reviews when all one has to do is read! And the room was bigger than I expected and the customer service was amazing! Steven, boss, runs a tight ship and his team- Lin, Gabriele, Chaima in particular-- were so so so helpful despite being pulled in a million directions.
Location was truly so so convenient and you're living in the middle of the Bowery so it's busy all the time. Felt safe a female solo visitor. I would recommend Nolita Express and will definitely be staying there again!
