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.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’ve been staying at the Jane for many years as it was quaint, full of history and affordable for a solo traveller. It had a beautiful front lobby with all the staff dressed in burgundy old fashioned porter uniforms. Not any more! The entrance is down some stairs with no signage snd I was greeted with a gentleman wearing flannel. I usually recommend this to friends. But I warn you, DO NOT STAY HERE!! 90 percent of the hotel is under construction and I was actually shocked they were charging regular prices and aren’t more detailed about the construction on their website. Construction workers started at 7am and were constantly working in the stairwell making it very unsafe for guests. The signage was not clear and you never really knew where you were suppose to walk. I ended up in construction areas by accident trying to find my way. Tripped twice and almost falling and getting dust everywhere. I don’t know how this is even legal!!! I felt very unsafe passing workers with huge boards and passing scaffolding in the stairwells. Plus all the dust that is everywhere. I’m not sure what I actually breathed during my stay! The rooms were at least clean enough but you are walking to the showers with construction workers everyone. This will be my last time staying at the Jane!!

The website does not show or describe this in its current state. We were made aware of the construction but had no idea how bad it would be. We had to share a mixed bathroom with construction workers. We stayed one night and checked out, and two months later we are still chasing a refund and threatening legal action.

I stayed at the Jane October 5th-9th, 2023. The hotel is under going major renovations and this was explained me at the time of the booking. The room was what I expected however, the filth is not. The carpet is my room was so dirty that I had to keep a towel over it. The elevator was not working half the time and I had to lug my stuff up three flights of stairs. The bathrooms were not clean and I never saw anyone cleaning them. The windows in the hall were left open in the hallway. Someone was smoking cigarettes either in their room or hallway. The walls are thin but the doors are heavy, so you could easily hear other people, and since bathrooms are shared, you could hear heavy doors closing all times of the day and night. I have never stayed in such disgustingly filthy hotel with construction noise on top of it. What a scam to be charged 200 a night.

The JANE HOTEL is NoT what it used to be😭It was charming, safe, always a good restaurant & most importantly the Staff & Management were Impeccable and welcoming & Truthful !!. THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANY LONGER! First of all the Hotel is under a 2 year or longer reconstruction! the prices have gone up $100 a night at least!!! & DURING CONSTRUCTION, and they DO NOT WARN YOU UNTIL YOU CHECK IN! Too LATE!! I can understand raising the prices in a year or two after construction is completed!! However, NEVER DURING CONSTRUCTION, NOISE & OBSTACLES & rude workman everywhere!! Does not feel safe. The management has completely changed and do not respond to your inquiries or even to emails ??¿¿ REALLY? I have been coming to The Jane Hotel for 12 years or more! Basically same staff & management. Always helpful, kind and welcoming ~ which to me is important as a solo traveller! I always have had great rapport with everyone. It has always felt like coming home! THIS IS NOT THE CASE ANY LONGER!!! The rooms WERE adequate but perfectly clean. The shared bathrooms always had excessive hot water and were cleaned several times a day. $700 for 3 nights. Their website which i book from mentions NO CONSTRUCTION ~ which is odd that they do not warn you before booking. Also major construction across the street! Jolly good Time (NOT) !! I am not sure if the hotel was bought by another company and old management left or were fired, thinking it is my second thought! Sadly i WILL NOT EVER BE RETURNING TO THIS ONCE MAGICAL ICONIC HOTEL! There are plenty of great Hotels in NY for the same price and for sure better than what has sadly happened to The Jane. THE END🕳️ If you do stay here: greatest American cafe classic icon is La Bonbonniere. Breakfast is cheap and delicious outdoor tables too weather permitting.. classic egg dishes and delicious pancakes! Go here.

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.
