I took my family for a long weekend in NYC and was thrilled to have found the newly-opened Nolitan Hotel. It's location is perfect: we were able to walk down the block for dinner in Chinatown, and in the other direction for morning pastries in Soho. (Though the on-site restaurant, Ellabess, also offered a very nice breakfast selection, which we enjoyed.) The hotel design is amazing, starting with the lobby, which is cozy and inviting. Room design is equally impressive, with amazing views of downtown from the floor-to-ceiling windows. (But don't forget to draw those light-blocking curtains if you hope to sleep in.) Bathrooms are sleek with clean lines and a bright feel. We loved the free-standing tub that neighbored the sleeping area: a very old-school NYC tenement idea, but this time in chic way. The staff was wonderful, and went above and beyond in all areas. Overall, the Nolitan is an amazing addition to a great NYC neighborhood. You'd be crazy to stay anywhere else.

I just checked into the Nolitan. It is a new hotel and you can tell. The room is quite small with a sort of cold feeling and nothing special.

I called down to the front desk because my door wouldn't lock. I also asked if there was somewhere nearby where I could have a drink and some food that has wifi. He said Starbucks. I said no, real food and A DRINK. He said McDonald's? The lock did get fixed quickly, however.

Definitely will not stay here again. Not sure what all the other rave reviews are about. I sort of wonder if they are fake. It's a lot of fantastic reviews for a new hotel.

Checked it on 29 July, the front office staff were fantastic, and made me feel at ease the moment I stepped in. The hotel rooms are very cool, with all space being used incredibly intelligently - all adding up to the "coolness" of the hotel. A very special mention has to be made of the staff - all of them (and I mean all of them) were fantastic, friendly and full of good advice. I would recommend this hotel to everyone I know (i've already recommended it to a couple of friends visiting NYC) without a second of doubt. The rooftop view in the morning is particularly special. I will be back in NYC in November and will definately be checking in again. To the Nolitan staff - keep up the good work!

The Nolitan Hotel is a gem in NYC. Smack dab in the middle of Soho, Lower East Side,
Chinatown, and Little Italy, it couldn't have a better location. Close to subway stops and
walking distance to so much! Many terrific little eateries within steps. The rooms were
very cool with a downtown vibe, not fussy or boring. But the best part was the wonderful staff. Because it's a small hotel, you feel like you are at home with friends taking care of you.
If you want a crazy velvet rope scene, go to the Standard. But if you want to feel special
in a wonderful hotel in a more chill atmosphere, don't miss the Nolitan.
