The hype
Travelers universally praise the epic views, the high-tech controls, and the friendly staff, but everyone warns about the tight quarters.
citizenM New York Bowery
$150-300/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want a high-tech, low-friction crash pad in the heart of the Lower East Side that trades square footage for killer views and a lobby you actually want to hang out in.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- The 21st-floor cloudM rooftop bar offers some of the best 360-degree views in Manhattan without the velvet rope attitude.
- The 'Living Room' lobby is a legitimate co-working haven with Vitra furniture, fast Wi-Fi, and 24/7 canteen access.
- Rooms are controlled entirely by an iPad ('MoodPad')—from the blackout blinds to the color-changing shower lights.
Privire rapidă: It’s a glorified dorm room for adults with good taste, where you sleep in a pod and live in the lobby.
Evaluat de @44nouns: I stayed at citizenM Bowery and it’s the perfect crash pad. My room was compact but super high-tech—I loved controlling the lights with the iPad. The best part? Waking up in that massive king bed with the NYC skyline right outside my window.
Oaspeții care au stat aici au spus
Reality check
The 'city view' is worth the upgrade, but the lower floors facing the street can suffer from the relentless noise of the Bowery.
- You travel light and treat your hotel room as a place to sleep, not hang out.
- You are a digital nomad who needs a reliable, inspiring workspace downstairs.
- You appreciate efficiency over excess—self check-in takes 60 seconds.
Curățenie și Întreținere
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally sharp and daily. The small surface area means there's nowhere for dust to hide.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The glass pod design makes grime very visible, so they keep it tight.
- Maintenance: Modern and well-kept. Broken iPads are swapped out quickly.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality. No threadbare towels here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like their signature 'citizenM' scent (woody/fresh). Rooms are neutral.
