Nolita Hostel is in a great vibrant neighborhood, where you cannot be bored night or day. Rooms are "pods" constructed with beadboard & lattice ceilings.. bed very comfortable, towel,sheets & blanket very clean. Silence rule exists in the pod areas but you can hear other guests clicking in/out of their rooms & front desk offers guests earplugs/eye masks. Shared kitchens, utensils, fridge, & filtered water dispenser were clean & tidy as were the cozy common rooms. Had trouble with the online check-in but Steve at the front desk was wonderfully helpful & patient getting me registered. I'd definitely use the Nolita for another 1 or 2 night downtown stay.
