I've stayed in several hotels in NYC and I will never stay anywhere else but the Lafayette House ever again! It's a beautiful hotel in a great location. I was traveling with two teenages and our room had a queen sized bed and they brought in a very comfortable air mattress. The room is very large for a NYC hotel... more

If you want a concierge telling you where to go, and hot and cold running lattes and a spa with an in-house masseuse, this isn't the place for you. But if you like the privacy and peace of being in a real house, sleeping in a huge room (suite-sized, really), right smack bang in Noho just a stroll from Soho... more

A must see!

Being an avid traveler I consider myself savvy in the process of choosing Hotels. My standards are quite high and I expect a great deal from the staff down to the quality of soap. I was hesitant to stay at a boutique hotel in NY as it is a departure from my usual mainstream choice, but the location was unbeatable.... more

this place was a real find. In the East Village with an excellent wine bar next door. We were upgraded to a room with a terrace (unfortunately it rained!). Nice touches including free bottle of wine, lovely toiletries, extremely comfortable bed. Not cheap but we loved it. more

The hotel is in an excellent location between the NYU/village and the East Village. I was in NYC to enjoy the nightlife and shopping, not to sight-see. This is an old old building, 1848, "Gangs of New York" era if memory serves. This means that things are old and it is decorated in a similar style. If you are not... more

I recently stayed at the Lafayette House in New York City. I saw the reviews online and was convinced it sounded like a very nice new boutique hotel. Overall the reviews were overrated and you can definitely do much better for a similar price. Pluses: 1. Great neighborhood/location downtown 2. Nice sized room with a working fireplace, chandelier and sitting... more

We stayed at the Lafayette for 10 days while our house was being renovated. We have 3 kids age 5, 4 and 1.5 years old. We stayed in a room with a kitchenette that had access to the courtyard garden. We had a great experience. This is not a typical hotel with a front desk and lots of amenities, but... more

Amazing room

Last December as I was contemplating where to stay in Manhattan for my daughter's graduation from NYU , I received a card in the mail from Lafayette House which is owned by the same group as The Bowery. Having loved The Bowery and intrigued by the thought of staying in a 15 room townhouse instead of a hotel I booked... more
