If you've stayed at a Thompson before, you already know the deal. The LES is quite in line w/the kickassery Thompson is known for - modern, edgy, low lit, in the interesting parts of town, and most importantly, amazing staff. They give spot-on recommendations for places to eat and things to do, yet won't judge you during check-out when clearly... More

I've stayed at the Thompson LES several times when I visit my son, who lives a few blocks away. I have stayed in other hotels within a short distance and found they don't compare to the Thompson. The employees are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are amazing. My last room had two solid walls of windows overlooking the city.... More

This is my third time at the Thompson LES and each time has been better and better. The single best feature of the hotel is the staff who has been super accommodating from reservation to check out and all in between. The management (Sebastian) bent over backwards to help us when we stayed with our kids to make it a... More

First, the location (location, location, location!), around the corner from Katz's deli, around the corner from the Meatball Shop, less than a block to get into the subway, awesome Lower East Side sights. The most important though: the staff of the LES - they are outSTANDING! Always professional and ready to help with whatever is needed. Uber polite, uber suave,... More

Great to hear you were able to experience Katz’s deli and the Meatball Shop during the same visit. They’re definitely a couple of the Lower East Side’s landmarks to see. See you again soon and we’ll be sure to keep the movies playing for you. All the best, Joe Joe Kavanagh Director of Rooms jkavanagh@thompsonhotels.com More

On my second visit to New York City , I'm so glad I stayed in this hotel. I opted for the lower east side area. A little away from the madness of midtown.

As a lady travelling on my own to New York, visiting friends based in Soho, this hotel was perfectly situated within walking distance.
