Completed in 1908, the American Seaman’s Friend Society Sailors’ Home and Institute was designed by William A. Boring, the architect renowned for Ellis Island’s immigrant station. Originally built as a hotel for sailors with cabin-like rooms, the land-marked hotel was lovingly restored on its centennial in 2008 as the Jane Hotel. The Jane Hotel has continued to house guests with more dash than cash ever since.

Booked a room for one night because I used to love this hotel and the value it offered. There was no indication on the website that the hotel is undergoing extensive renovations. It’s dirty and noisy. Malfunctioning a/c on one of the hottest nights of the summer. Creepy naked man lurking in the shared bathroom. I do not recommend.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights because my son is obsessed with Titanic, and if you didn't know. the survivors of the Titanic stayed at this hotel. Yes it is that old. We stayed for 2 nights and it was an experience. The rooms are tiny. It was a struggle for my son and I to both be in the room at the same time unless we were both in our beds. I would not stay here long term but the experience is worth it. The staff are amazing. The bathrooms and rooms are very clean. Yes, the place was under construction but it was listed on the website so you knew when you booked, actually, the construction across the street was louder and woke me up, not the hotel construction. My only big complaint is that there were no ice machines and the water never got that cold. We stayed in August and it was very hot, so it would have been nice to have ice-cold water before going out to tour, and when we returned.

This is not a review that I want to write but I think potential guests should be aware of current circumstances affected by construction at the Jane which are, according to their website, expected to be ongoing until February 2025. I’ve stayed here twice a year for about 7 years (not during the pandemic, obviously) and always been satisfied. In the past: interactions with staff have been positive; rooms, though very small, are functional and clean; although bathrooms are shared I can’t recall having to wait to use a toilet, shower or sink; the location is ideal for access to West Village, Chelsea, Whitney Museum, walks along the Hudson River, etc.; the rates have always been reasonable; and the Jane has a quirky, shabby chic charm that is missing from sterile chain hotels. My recent 6-night visit was a major disappointment after years of being pleased. Construction is taking place which is extremely disruptive. Just some examples of unpleasant conditions: • There was only one working bathroom on the 4th floor since the other one was sealed off, meaning 2 toilets, 2 showers and 2 sinks were to be shared by guests in the 40+ rooms on the floor. Several mornings and evenings it was necessary to wait for a toilet and/or shower being used by other guests. • Three separate instances during the daytime when it was necessary to wait while construction workers used toilets and sinks. One of those times I had to wait for 3 workers who were washing up at what was apparently the end of their shift, using loads of toilet paper to dry their freshly washed faces. Why aren’t there aren’t facilities or portable toilets assigned solely for workers? • The website states that work takes place between 8 AM and 5 PM and will have “minimal impact” but one morning a loud grinding noise from within the bowels of the building started at 7:12 AM. • Signs clearly state that the front entrance and the elevator are for guest and staff use only. Returning from an early morning run the sidewalk and stairs were nearly impassable with construction workers standing and sitting blocking the front entrance. Several times I shared the elevator with construction workers, once with 2 guys who got on at the third floor each with a large garbage can full of debris. In fairness, other times when workers saw that a guest was on the elevator they said that they would wait. It may seem like I’m a snob but the elevator is small and as a paying guest I don’t want to be up close and personal with a dirty/dusty worker hauling trash. • Photos accompanying this review show just some of the construction evidence that you pass on the way to your room on the fourth floor. Without reviewing credit card receipts from previous stays, I do believe that the rates I paid during this visit were more than I’ve ever paid and the stay was, to be blunt, extremely disappointing. Quite frankly, the owners/management should be ashamed for accepting paying guests, especially at non-discounted rates. I look forward to staying here again in 2025 when construction is complete but until then my hotel stays in NYC will be elsewhere.

The Jane deserves much more credit than it seems to be getting on TripAdvisor. Yes, there are some issues – the bathroom facilities are too few to serve the number of rooms per floor, the bunk rooms are seriously tiny, and the third floor suffers from the permanent aroma of fags Thanks to a couple of permanent residents who the hotel apparently have no control over. However, given its fantastic location and almost unbelievable price, this is an excellent option if you are prepared to compromise and forgive these features. Service was friendly and helpful, and the police seem to be pretty clean.

This hotel is well located, being a short walk from the nearest subway station and with multiple places to eat within reach. The staff were also very friendly. While my room was small, this didn't bother me as I was out most of the day - nor were there any conflicts with using the shared toilet/shower facilities. There was quite a lot of background noise, however, and there were issues with calling the elevator at one point. Ultimately, it served its purpose as a decent place to rest for a two-night stay in Manhattan.

Neighborhood! Taxi service! Affordable. Accomodating staff! Classical, Antique Look & Feel! Tourist friendly! Would have loved to stay longer to explore the West Village more but my flight moved to an earlier time and I ended up canceling.

People who work there are great. Kind and helpful. But the rooms are actual hell on earth. Loud, cramped, construction. Everything about the room was horrible, and I’m used to small spaces. Avoid at all costs.

Great quiet location on a cobblestone street. On arrival I was greeted by a very friendly staff member who quickly checked me in and explained the key system. The lobby is small but appropriate for the style. The hotel has a period feel and despite its age, it worked without issue. The hallways are dim and have lots of turns but there are signs pointing you in the right direction. There did seem to be an odor in the halls. I couldn't identify it precisely but kind of musty. The rooms use key fobs to unlock doors. The single rooms are small. The pictures are true representation. The single bed is bigger then the floor space. There is plenty of storage under and above the bed. There are hooks on a rod above the wall length mirror for hanging clothes. There are also two marble shelves under the window and along the length of the short wall. There is a tv, ihome, a/c, heater and fan. One ceiling light and a light at the head of the bed. The bed is firm and there is a sheet and blanket. The temperature of the room is easy to adjust due to the small size. The walls are thin but I heard no noise between 10pm and 8am. The bathroom on my floor had 2 fully inclosed toilets and 2 fully enclosed shower stalls, 2 sinks with 2 blow dryers. The bathrooms are communal and co-ed. Bathroom was clean and I had no waits to use the facilities. The staff was consistently pleasant. I am very interested in tiny house living so this was up my alley.

The Jane is my comfort zone in New York's far West Village. If it was any farther west it would be in the river. I love this place for it's boho chic vibe and the friendliness of it's staff. I arrived early on my latest visit and the front desk let me leave my bag with them while I wandered off in search of lunch. The restaurant was closed for renovation but there are plenty of nearby choices for food. The Meatpacking District is only a couple of blocks away and there are other options as well. As usual I stayed in one of the standard cabins. Sure they are small but with the Apple at your doorstep the only thing to do at a hotel is sleep. The restrooms and showers are down the hall and the hotel provides robes and flip flops for travel between. The Statue of Liberty is visible from one of them. Apparently the hotel has been sold for renovation and an upgrade. I just hope the new owners do not tinker too much. The charm of the place is the reason I keep coming back. That and the fact that the cost is reasonable compared to the rest of the city. I tell all my friends about this place and recommend it highly.

Just back from a weekend in NYC and stayed here for the first time (I am a regular budget visitor to big apple) SO here are my thoughts: The good: 1) Location - just two blocks away from High Line and easy walk to West Village, cafe, etc also a VERY safe area. 2) Price - I paid $111/night inclusive - no sneaky resort fee crap, which is AMAZING for NYC, and 3) Lastly - a solid night of sleep. Even on the twin bunk bed with lumpy mattress, with the unadjustable-heat cranking, window open, and AC fan on, I did actually get a GREAT night of sleep which let's face it, is the MOST important thing. It was a cold winter weekend, and hotel was fairly empty so no guest noise to worry about. The BAD: 1) rooms are insanely small, all you get in the bunk rooms are four hooks and a couple of tiny shelves, so you will be living out of you bag for sure. Pack light. 2) The mattresses were thin/old/lumpy - I had wire springs hitting my ribs (I sleep on my stomach) so I had to actually lay a pillow under my torso, which did really help and I did get my snooze on . Lastly 3) the shared bath situation is awkward. While there are private water closet for toilet and showers, the double vanity sinks are side-by-side in the middle of the bathroom, so you are flossing and brushing your teeth elbow-to-elbow with total strangers - in our case several young ladies and an elderly couple were often in there too. If there were sinks in room or in the private baths, then the SHARE would be fine, as everything was clean enough etc - just rather awkward, and I am NO PRUDE at all. All said and done, it did the job, and you pretty much get what you pay for here - if you are fine with these caveats and dig budget accomodation this can be a great place to stay. The room tips are worth checking out - asking kindly for an upper/back quiet room was honored and there was NO west side highway noise at all from room 520. Front desk staff were moderately friendly/efficient - no complaints or issues there.
