8/10
I have to say that the Now Now was definitely the most comfortable and luxury hostel experience I've ever had. However, for the price, you're probably better off just getting a budget hotel. You'll have more room and quiet though maybe less bougie amenities.
Pros:
- Early check in: I didn't actually ask for early check in but called around 11am to see if i could drop my bags and they just told me they could put me in a room as soon as I arrived.
- Bed and sheets were so nice and I slept super well despite the open ceiling
- Everything is beautifully designed and aesthetic. You get a free eyemask and earplugs and they provide you with a plush robe and slippers.
- Completely enclosed toilets and showers make it feel like you have your own private bathrooms anyway
Cons:
- No elevator. I had one giant luggage because I hadn't planned on staying in a hostel this trip but ended up having to due to some a last minute change. They DID offer to have someone lug it up the 3 flights of stairs to my room which I appreciated.
- No luggage storage: While they do have lockers, there is a glitch in their system where if you put your phone number insted of your email you will not get a confirmation. The front desk people tried to blame me for putting my phone number in - to which I say, why even have the option if it doesn't work? It made getting in and out of my locker a hassle
I think the target demo for this hostel is 20 somethings who are dead set on being in the NoHo area.
