Welcome to the Big Apple. The 138 Bowery Hotel is a relatively new hotel in the area of Lower East Side (LES), and i was informed it cost a little more than the hotels in and near it. I have not had the pleasure of staying at the 138 Bowery Hotel yet, but i do pass it almist everyday. The Bowery in the East Village and the LES have become a very chic and trendy place for hotels. The company it keeps is among the best of the best. The SoHotel down the block which commanded about US $200.00 around 10 years ago. The Hotel 50 Bowery south of Canal Street, The Bowery Hotel and the Standard East Village in NoHo asking for US $600.00 a night a year or so ago when my cousins from Vancouver,BC Canada visited. The Best Westin Bowery Hotel on Bowery and Grand, and the Wynham Garden Hotel on Bowery and Hester are also quite popular because it is in Chinatown. However, the hotels are all in the NYU Territory and within walking distance to Chinatown, City Hall, Wall Street, the West Village, Union Square, the Flatiron District and Chelsea. Do enjoy the beautiful NYC Autumn, and have fun and be well.

Really nice, new hotel with a fresh independent feel. Location is great for little Italy and loads of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Only improvement would be better curtains on the windows, but the bed was really comfortable and TV with Amazon prime was cool.

What a fantastic location, and the whole stay from check-in to service and facilities were soooo good! All construction had finished. The room was amazing with so much space, free gifts to try including personal care products - all at such a great price for the stay. We were there 5 nights and felt so refreshed waking up in a lovely room. This place is going to take off and I hope not too many people read this as I want to stay there again - Genuinely impressed
