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

The most fabulous room we've ever stayed in. Had soooo much character and warmth. Perfect location, perfect atmosphere and perfect service. We didn't want to leave and will definitely go back! more

We had a great experience. This is not a typical hotel with a front desk and lots of amenities, but... more

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.
