The hype
Travelers love the vibe, the rooftop, and the location, but constantly mention how shockingly small the rooms are.
Arlo Soho
$150-250 / nakti
Rezervējiet, ja You're a solo traveler or a couple with zero boundary issues who wants a stylish crash pad in the sweet spot between SoHo and Tribeca.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Prime location bordering SoHo, Tribeca, and the West Village
- Rooftop bar (A.R.T. SoHo) with Hudson River views
- Thoughtful micro-design that feels high-end despite the size
Ātrs apskats: A glorified, stylish dorm room for adults where you shower in a glass box and pay a 'resort fee' for the privilege.
Pārskatīts: @meghan.gerrity: We love Arlo hotels, so we had to try the Soho spot. The rooms are cozy with great city views, but the real winner is the rooftop bar overlooking the Freedom Tower. Plus, the lobby is perfect for getting work done—my husband loved the coworking space!

Reality check
The 'City View' rooms come with significant street noise (sirens, honking) that bleeds through the windows.
- You plan to spend 90% of your time exploring the city
- You travel with carry-on luggage only
- You appreciate a lively social scene right in your lobby

- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Glass showers are usually spotless, but grout lines show age in some older rooms.
- Maintenance: Some reports of 'run down' feel — scuffed walls and worn carpets in high-traffic areas.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white, though standard hotel quality rather than luxury plush.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells amazing (signature scent), rooms are generally fresh but can get stuffy.

“I am a light sleeper and would love a high-floor room facing the Courtyard to minimize street noise. If available, a room away from the elevator would be appreciated.”
BUJ un paslēptie paņēmieni
Viss, kas jums patiešām jāzina pirms grāmatošanas.
Is the room really that small?
Yes. 150 square feet is tiny. You can barely walk around the bed. Pack light.
Can I see my roommate showering?
Basically, yes. The shower is a glass box in the room. There is a curtain/frosted glass, but it's intimate.
Is there parking?
No on-site parking. You have to use a nearby garage (LAZ Parking) for ~$65-75/day.
Does the rooftop bar get loud?
Yes, A.R.T. SoHo is a popular nightlife spot. Upper floor rooms might hear bass on weekends.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. Up to 2 pets under 75lbs for a ~$20/night fee.
Is there a gym?
No on-site gym, but the Urban Fee includes passes to Gotham Gym nearby.
Insider padomi
- ✨
The 'Urban Fee' includes Citi Bike passes — grab a code from the front desk and ride along the Hudson River Greenway just two blocks away.
- ✨
The lobby 'Bodega' has snacks, but they are priced like a minibar. Walk 2 mins to a real deli for half the price.
- ✨
If you're in a Bunk Room, watch your head — the top bunk is close to the ceiling.
5 lietas, kas jāzina pirms doties
💡The AC unit can be aggressively loud, cycling on and off with a 'whoosh' that wakes light sleepers.
💡The 'Courtyard' view isn't a garden oasis; it's mostly looking at other rooms, but it IS quieter.
💡You might have to step over your suitcase to get to the bathroom.
💡The elevators can be slow during peak rooftop bar hours.
💡The water pressure in the glass showers is actually surprisingly good.
