Reviews of Kasa Lantern LESReviews of Kasa Lantern LES

The location is perfect. It's close to several subway stations that go all over the city. But I did a lot of things on foot. The room was very comfortable, exactly as described in the ad. The bed was comfortable, there was space to put my bags and hang my clothes. There was a kettle to heat water, a microwave, a fridge with a freezer and a Nespresso machine with capsules. The bathroom was very spacious, the shower was very hot (it was very cold) and was very comforting. The heating was great, I didn't need to wrap up warm inside the room despite the low temperature outside. Although I've read other people talking about the noise, I didn't find it noisy at all. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down in bed (it could be due to tiredness), but I found it to be very quiet. I stayed on the third floor facing the front. It might be noisier on lower floors, but I found it to be very quiet. There are many clubs nearby, cafes, restaurants, shops. It's a great place!

Great location! Right in the heart of the Lower East Side. I love eating and walking around Chinatown which is 5/10 minutes away so I was very happy. I also used to live in this neighborhood many years ago so it was good to be back. Little Italy and SoHo are also quick walks too, as is the East Village. A great location all around. A bunch of restaurants and bars, bustling nightlife. The apartment itself was perfect for me. The stand alone bathtub seems like a niche, I would have much rather preferred dressers there for my clothes and a space for my luggage but maybe some people look forward to a relaxing bath. Wifi was solid and getting in and out was very easy with the codes. I recommend for one or two people. But no more than two people as it would be a little too tight in my opinion. But definitely stay here if you're considering it!

It is a nice private apartment with its own fridge, stove, coffee maker and electric kettle, with cookware included. King bed and tv with daybed, and table with two chairs. It was easy to find and it was nice that it had an elevator, however, it's not accessible as there are about 8 steps or so you have to go up to get to the elevator. It was also nice to have a laundry room and available extra towels and sheets. They were very responsive, but I ended up tripping the breaker 3 times and I'm not entirely sure how as it was a different combination of lights and appliances each time. It would just be good to know how to avoid that. "Quirks" only mention that the hot water takes a little time but I never experienced that.

Foi tudo tranquilo! Só acho q pela estadia de 8 noites poderia ter utensílios de limpeza no quarto e utensílios domésticos e trocar a roupa de cama. Para uma estadia de 3 dias tá ótimo para mais dias não indico. Perto do metro o bairro é um pouco sujo Aahhh internet não funcionou para conectar no cel.

Simple clean and fresh.

It was a bit pricy. But this is New York City. The room was clean, the bathroom was great and well equipped, and we had a great two-night stay to visit our son.

👍

Very easy to locate and access. Team is responsive, room is clean and comfortable, and great location 👍 Will stay again!

Great location and easy access to all the stuff we were going to.

We enjoyed our stay at the perfectly located Kasa Lantern hotel in LES. Communication with the host went great, especially when we faced some (minor) issues, when they were great with trying to help out. You cannot leave your bags after checkout, but they were great in helping out on finding ways of storing your luggage in the city. Although we had some issues with noisy neighbours, we expect it’s kinda normal when staying in local residencies in New York. Overal very happy with our room at a great location in New York City!

The PERFECT stay if you’re looking for a clean, safe place to stay short-term or long-term. The check in process was easy, instructions were clear, and they even accommodated my early arrival! The room looked exactly like the pictures and felt even roomier, to be honest. I noticed that they had made adjustments based on other reviews and feedback from prior guests, like adding an additional lamp. The location is also excellent , close to so many shops and restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

It was perfect!

I stayed for one month. It was perfect.

Kasa Lantern is a hidden gem of a hybrid apartment hotel – super discreet and chill. Basically, it's pretty much all self-service, which I actually loved, but there's always someone on site if you need help. My (very large) “King Comfort” room was unexpected – especially in NYC where space is usually limited. I had a sitting area, a small kitchenette, and a bathtub. It’s really well put together and they even had Malin + Goetz bath products, which is a nice touch. The 'virtual concierge' via text was responsive, they always got back to me within minutes. Now, a couple of things to keep in mind: it's truly self-service, so they don't have a front desk and can't hold luggage. I had a bit of a wait since I arrived four hours early with two big suitcases, but Starbucks next door was a lifesaver. Check-in is 4 PM, and early check-in is kind of a gamble. I was granted access half an hour early (once again, via text notification), which was nice, but it's not guaranteed. Also, I had a little power hiccup when I plugged in my iron, but found a workaround in the bathroom. Overall, I was really happy with my stay! This place is perfect if you're looking for something unique and don't mind a bit of independence. It's a cool, low-key vibe and a great spot to call home while visiting NYC.

Great stay! Super communicative and easy check in/check out. No issues:)

Great location, close to subway but plenty of hotspots to walk to. The space was super clean and comfortable and the host was responsive at all hours. I will be back!

This is a great place to stay

Perfect spot for experiencing LES

tl;dr ROACHES. Don’t stay here! This hotel is not as advertised. I stayed here for a month and everything in this hotel is dirty, smelly, peeling, chipped, cracked, broken, or stained. And there’s a roach infestation in the building. I booked a king penthouse which was not what I got. A penthouse takes up an entire top floor. This room was small, a suite at best, and not on the top floor. It was extremely run down and cheaply furnished. When I opened the door, it left a dirt trail, as can be seen in the photo(s) I attached. There was dirty grout in the shower. The provided dishes in the kitchenette were dirty and greasy. The provided olive oil was expired. Roaches crawled out from the walls. The toilet was dirty and stained a disgusting brown color. A strong urine smell emanated from the kitchen and the living room rug. The toilet paper holder was coming out of the wall, so the roll constantly fell on the ground. The wall sconces were loose and falling out of the wall and would overheat when turned on. The laundry area was dirty, and bug traps are all over, so the hotel staff is well aware of a pest infestation. Despite my report of roaches, pest control never once visited the property. A dirty mop and towel that smelled of mildew sat in one of the washers for the duration of my stay (31 days). I booked an advance rate and prepaid for my stay so there was nothing I could do. I couldn’t leave and go elsewhere. I was moved rooms once due to roaches and the second room wasn’t any better. On top of all this, management refused to reimburse my stay, despite the plethora of issues and it being ILLEGAL to rent out rooms with an active pest infestation as it’s a health hazard. They have no empathy or remorse for scamming people. Don’t stay here.

Clean and sleek apartment, nice amenities and finishes, close to everything, quiet

i enjoyed my stay at kasa however there are a few reasons i can’t give it 5 stars. first, the location is ok. its right next to bowery which is definitely a little sketchy but also close to the east village which is a fun area. also the walls are PAPER THINN. I turned my noise machine (which i appreciated being provided) all the way up and could still hear conversations next door and above me. additionally, the tv literally doesn’t work. other than that, the host was responsive, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was nice, loved the nespresso, and the onsite laundry was helpful for my extended stay.

I thought that my stay at Kasa was really nice and exactly what I needed! the check in was very easy and they gave u step by step instructions for a smooth visit. The best thing was the area! Bowery is a great place for anyone looking for an active nyc experience, but also not too hectic at the same time.

Great and secure place with convenient accessibility to the subway. Check in instructions were clear

Good basic studio apartment. Quiet enough given the area. Good location. Downsides are kitchenette is tiny and barely usable, supplied cooking/utensiles are very basic. Because of lack of space getting the coffee machine out and hooked up to actually make a cup of coffee was a massive pain. Also bathroom had a persistently funny smell. Water pressure in shower not great, though water was consistently hot. Apartment is also not very well lit.

thankyou again for a wonderful experience

this place is awesome best hotel in nyc if you want something low key and private with little to no staff interaction.

Great place to stay in the lower east side

It honestly looks better than the photos. I stayed there for a month - and have only good things to say :)

We had a great stay - it was much more spacious than hotels I’ve stayed in New York for a similar price, which often feel too small for two people. We would definitely stay again!

This is a very nice place with easy. Amenities

This place was good value for what it was but they provided absolutely no cutlery or proper cups, plates, bowls etc… which largely made the fridge and microwave redundant,

Great stay, great location. I would be happy to visit again!

Buenisimo todo! Volvería a elegirlos!!

5 stars

Would stay at Kasa again!

Best stay in NyC. Lived here 14 years and been round the block. Best. Stay.

this was a great blend between Airbnb and hotel, without the hotel crowded front desk bit, but all the professionalism. I really enjoyed this experience and would do it again.

Great!

Great place, easy to get in and great location

Great place to stay while visiting NYC!

Great place

Todo excelente el Apt muy buena ubicación

Traveled alone and I only needed a small space. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. Loved how good it smelled and the body wash they have smells heavenly. There is a small pull out desk that I was able to work from. Very nice place.

Kasa place was nice, cozy and peaceful. The only thing I didn’t care for was the check in time, if I’m paying for a full day I shouldn’t have to check in at 3:30pm it’s very inconvenient. Other than that there isn’t really any complaints

We had a great stay and would definitely return! The location was convenient, and the space, especially the bed, was really comfortable. We also appreciated the thoughtful extra touches, like the nice toiletries. Knowing NYC, we expected some street and neighbor noise but barely noticed it. On a busy Saturday night, the noise machine they provided worked like a charm.

I was looking for a place to stay in NYC. It was very clean and had everything I needed for my stay.

nice place

A wonderful and easeful stay! A five minute walk from F train and M. I felt safe, secure and relaxed my entire trip. You're in a great location so there's plenty to do and a starbucks right on the corner! The space itself was neat and tidy and the fridge was a pretty good size too which you can't always find in NYC! Thank you for an amazing stay, I'll definitely book in the future. :)
