What People Are Saying About Hotel on Rivington

Citysearch
The tallest, most modern structure on its Lower East Side block, this hotel attracts artsy celebrities, Europeans and rich hipsters. The guest rooms are 30 percent larger than average NYC hotel rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow guests to look out onto the street while they bathe in two-person Japanese-style soaking tubs. Automatic curtains can be set to let sunlight in as the morning wake-up call goes off. In designer Piero Lissoni's second-floor airport-themed lounge, guests can relax with a drink and an international newspaper, while the first-floor lounge, bar and glass-encased restaurant, all created by Marcel Wanders, are open to the public.

The walls are paper thin and the club downstairs vibrates loud beats till 4AM. The staff is rude and there are much better places to stay in the LES like the new Thompson hotel. Dirty floors and things crawling around.

Loved this place, the location, the people at the hotel and the neighborhood scene. Best on the weekends, (the block comes alive at night). The lower East side was awesome, no longer scary. This is more of a funuxury hotel than true luxury. It is a bit edgy but we loved it and the steam shower was amazing.

My husband and I had stayed at this hotel last fall and had a pleasant experience despite the unsavory neighborhood. We had an issue with the carpet being wet that was very strange. Apparently this hotel is refurbished and the floors beneath the carpet are not even. When there is a rain, the water collects into the dips of the floor and creates wet spots in the carpet. We thought it was a one time thing, but it was unpleasant to walk on wet carpet most of the week. We could not change rooms because they were fully booked. (FYI: They offered no discount.) I booked this hotel last week (the only one left due to a film festival in NYC) and had the very same wet carpet experience and was changed into a different room facing the street. I should have kept the wet carpet! This hotel faces several bars and the noise is deafening all night long. That was the start of the barrage of problems. My TV did not work-- it kept going to fuzz. The engineers could not fix it. I ordered a town car for a business meeting from a clerk at the front desk who apparently called one of his friends rather than a reputable company. A car that looked like a family of ten had been living in it showed up. Duct tape on the seats, filthy, etc. All in all, this hotel reflects the neighborhood that it is located in--sketchy, at best. Hotel class and sophistication are reflected in the service and the staff and this hotel is lacking in both.
