“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

I have been meaning to write this review for some time,...i stayed in this hotel in March 2012 and was very impressed by it. The rooms were very modern and clean and comfortable. The location of this hotel is ideal for blending in with the locals. some great bars and restaurants close by and has a subway station right across the road so its very easy to get around the city. This was my first time to New York and staying in this area made the trip even more amazing...i would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to mingle with New Yorkers and not base themselves in the usual tourist spots. The staff at LES were extremely helpful and polite.

“AMAZE-ED”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

Stayed here in Sept for a birthday party with girlfriends. WOW! The staff is friendly and professional - offering us the BEST dining choices for brunch the next morning. I didn't feel like a 'tourist' staying in this hotel, I felt like I lived in the LES of Manhattan. Loved that feeling, considering the LES for a neighborhood option when I do move!

The view of NYC was incredible and I keep pushing my boyfriend to book us a room here for a romantic escape. I LOVE this hotel and hope to stay here again soon :)

“Thompson LES September stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

I stayed at the Thompson LES in September for my birthday. It was absolutely perfect. There was a better room than the one I had booked so they offered me a great deal and I took it. It was a corner room, which had a breathtaking view of the city, a view of the pool and some privacy. I went in the pool the next day, which is just an amazing gem to have in the middle of NYC. The staff was so helpful and friendly, it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. We hung out at the hotel until we went on a booze cruise out of the South Street Seaport, came back and wound down on the balcony as we looked at the night skyline. Bed was really comfy and the room was very well-kept. There's no place I'd rather have been with my friends to celebrate my 25th birthday. I'll be returning in a few weeks to stay for a night for a concert at Terminal 5 and I can't wait. THANK YOU!

“Weekend Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Very modern, clean and comfortable room with modern bathroom. Separate shower, toilet and wash areas make it convenient. Fantastic views. The restaurant has excellent food and very good service. Good location in Manhattan and easy access to Chinatown, Little Italy and Lower East Side location. Only negative was the daily $15 fee for internet. It's one of the few places still charging fees for internet.

Room Tip: Rooms are small, so it is the type of hotel that you want to be out on the town. Best views are roo...
