“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Helpful and polite staff (bellboys, cleaning crew, concierge, front desk etc).
The room was pretty great. Well furnished, good size considering other hotels in New York. Great View. At first, when reading the other reviews at trip advisor I was worried regarding noises at night. I simply asked for a room for from the bar. I recommend this hotel.

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us.

One of the benefits of experiencing the Thompson LES hotel is definitely the room size. With rooms starting at 325 sq. ft, and many at a generous 550 sq. ft., you will always have room to spread out and enjoy the time you spend inside your room, as well as outside in the city.

Requests are always welcome and encouraged. If there is something important to you, like being in a quiet area of the hotel, please do not hesitate to reach out to us in advance. The more we know about you, the more prepared we will be to exceed all your expectations.

See you again soon!

“Great rooms, outstanding service and great LES location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Stayed at the Thompson LES in February 2013 for 2 nights. On check-in, the front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My room was gorgeous and very comfortable and quite large for the price by NYC standards. The staff was friendly throughout my stay. This is a great location in the LES. Only a few blocks from Starbucks, the Tenement Museum and Clinton Street Bakery. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great review! Thank you very much for sharing.

In addition to the great sights you mentioned, we are also located right across the street from the 2nd Avenue Subway Station on the F line and along the M15 bus service line making access to anywhere in the city very easy.

See you again soon!

“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.
