Had a great week-long stay here: rooms are small but well-equipped and they all have fantastic views over Lower East Side by virtue of the fact that the building stands several storeys higher than anything else in the area. Very designer-led with great back-lit headboards above the beds. It's a great area and you can walk from the hotel to... More

Stayed at the Thompson LES with a friend in a king suite. The room was beautiful, with the bed being the most comfortable thing I have ever slept in, The rooms were beautifully cleaned each day, and chocolates left for us on our return. The room and hotel as a whole were stylish and immaculate. The only flaw was the... More

This is the second time I have stayed here, the first was just after it opened in '08 and there were a few issues but this time things have certainly gotten ironed out. The location is away from the normal tourist spots of Central Park, Times Sq, 5th Ave etc but where the LES is located is just great. One... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Thompson LES. The rooms are nicely decorated and the bath room big and beautiful. I also liked the products from Kiehl's. The location of the hotel is fantastic. There is so much variety regarding restaurants and bars! I also thouight that the hotel staff was very friendly and helpfull.

Whenever I travel to NYC, I stay in the LES or SoHo. It's easy to get to all the happening bars and shopping. The Thompson LES is in a great, great location in the heart of the LES and close to subway lines that take you to SoHo or downtown. There are plenty of restaurants and shops all around. That... More

I love boutique hotels, but I hate the staff who work in them...they often forget that their role is to "serve" and not to be fashion models, they live in a Wallpaper dream. The new Thompson LES is at a very cool location and it is well designed. However, watch the service! I booked a King Suite for 7 nights... More

The summary: the hotel and room were clean, the bed comfy, the room was large and quiet by NYC standards, the staff were very helpful and service focused, and the location is good. I will definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to NYC. The hotel is located just below Houston St (so at the top of the... More

I stayed there for my daughter's graduation from NYU and because she lives in the East Village. Great location for wandering in that neighborhood or down into Soho. I got a $160 night rate for a Queen room, so it was reasonably priced. The room was small, but well appointed. I would have helped if they had a luggage stand... More

Stayed for 2 nights in a king room on 3rd floor. Room was very well appointed for the price. Bathrooms modern and clean, great shower! Room service comes from "Shang" restaurant downstairs. It is expensive but very good! Bar scene is fairly 'happening' and all very 'cool'. Location is just a little too far from Broadway to take a quick... More

My husband and I stayed on room 1103. We got a special promo rate of roughly $166 a night for a Studio King Suite. It was a total steal! The room was well designed, modern, sexy, super spacious, and the lighting was fantastic. I don't understand what the other comments were complaining about it being too dark, there are dimmers...
