Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Nolita does not describe the property accurately on the website. There is no ceiling in each sleeping cubicle. There is a drop down lattice, which allows all the spaces to share the same air conditioner. This means that you can hear every sound and see any light in the spaces next to you. So, they pass out earplugs and eye masks in the entrance to the property, because you will hear every snore, fart or other noise your neighbors make, and you will see light in the middle of the night if someone in the cell next to you turns on their lamp. I don't mind the small spaces, but I would avoid Nolita if you want to get a decent night's sleep

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.

For a solo traveler, this is a big step up from a hostel dorm bed. Great location! The common spaces are charming and comfortable. All the basics — bed, linens, shared bathrooms — are good, not great.

The property is quaint, especially when you consider it's history. I felt safe in my room that had two locks inside. However, even as someone with bilateral hearing loss, it is very noisy. Not sure why, but is was super hot in my cubicle. Uncomfortably so. Would stay again if it were under 100 dollars.
