East Village Hotel, New York NY

Do NOT stay here.incredibly noisy air conditioner that kept us up all night with button controls that didn't work.turning it off meant listening to street noise and the almost equally noisy fridge.they claim to supply earplugs - nope.there is no front desk, just a sign with a "24 hour phone line" that is definitely not manned 24 hours.we couldn't leave our room or get on wifi because we didn't receive the door code email, and they did not pick up the phone after 7: 30pm.bathroom looks nice + recently done but for some reason there were rusty metal pieces sticking out of the shower wall.absurd that they charge the prices they do.

WOW! A lot of bad reviews here and I DO NOT AGREE! I thought it was a wonderful little hotel that runs more like an airbnb. You check in online, get your access codes and done! Simple. The room is roomy for NYC with a kitchenette! Clean. All linens were provided and no appliance or hot water issues at all. I love the street noise and brick interior and opening windows to the fire escape! There are shops and restaurants/bars everywhere and a rockin' pizza slice place across the street. So good. A perfect NYU experience, like you are literally living there for a few days. Oh AND. I accidentally left my credit card in the room when I checked out and they found it and mailed it to me with pleasure and professionalism. I would definitely stay here again!

DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL. The worst experience I had in my life. It has no lobby, I literally had to sleep on the floor in the hotel corridor because "the night person did not come to work" a real shame. The manager named Sean is outright a con man. He wouldn't even reimburse me for the night.

I liked the all digital no staff check in but you have to remember to check in online before arrival. Dirty hotel, dirtier neighborhood.

It’s nice that the room comes with a kitchenette and smart TV, but I recommend others spend a little more money to stay somewhere that isn’t as noisy and is cleaner.

Great location, comfortable, safe, clean and quiet. Quick and friendly. I would stay here again if I were to go back there.

Just splurge a bit more for something that has space, consistent hot water, and doesn't have loud appliances. They provide earplugs in the room, which should be enough to make you say no.

Good value for money. Only improvements I can think of is that it’d be nice to receive door codes ahead of time, without having to call first while standing outside.

Right so, long story short, this is kind of a scam. The room itself was a miniature. We did not have hot water for the first half day, which eventually was fixed. I have to admit that on this, the hotel responded pretty quickly. The solution, however, was to wait until the next day since they didn't have anyone on site to look at it. The linen were yellowish, and at the same time, the hotel was threatening to hold the full deposit if we messed the towels. Finally, they did not even offer a bottle of water, and they clearly mentioned that the bottles in the fridge will be charged.

Finally, the outside noise was unbearable, even with the earplugs provided by the hotel.
