The Jane Hotel

Loved

De kamertjes in The Jane zijn nog steeds goede 'value for money', voor New York standards dan. Maar... de charme van vroeger, dat was de historische lobby, die een chic en beetje quirky sfeer bracht. Dat is niet meer. De hele ground floor is namelijk verkocht aan een besloten club. En strictly off limits. Nu heeft het hotel slechts een kale, saaie receptie ondergronds en een lift naar de étages met kamers. Ik heb hier (opnieuw) acht nachten verbleven, het kamertje is echt prima. Schoon en comfortabel en knus. Maar die Wes Anderson-sfeer... is niet meer.

The tiny room took some getting used to, as did the shared bathroom. But I rarely saw any other patrons and never had to wait.

Construction has changed the vibe, but the rooms and the staff were great!

The hotel is located in one of the nice and quiet neighborhoods in Manhattan. There are nice restaurants, bars, and cafes within walking distance. There is also the riverside once you cross the expressway. So it's perfect for walking and jogging. One negative thing, and the main reason why my rating is lower, is the inaccuracy of hotel information. I picked this place based on the nice authentic interiors at the lobby, very cool bars, rooftop, and the restaurant. But the hotel didn't have those. I learned from the staff, the owner of the hotel changed, and they separated those areas from the hotel and now run them as a club lounge. So I didn't go. It would've been helpful if the hotel website / Expedia's pictures were properly updated. Also, I thought it would be a great idea if the hotel prepares earplugs so people can sleep well since you easily hear people working in the hallway, watching TV, and the sounds of ACs.

Check in was super easy and the staff was friendly. The space was clean. The room was just smaller than the pictures lead us to believe. Which wasnt a problem it was just kinda funny.

The Jane Hotel is an old hotel but quaint. I booked a twin bed with shared bathroom. The room is small. The remote for the tv is annoying as you gotta hold it at certain angle to switch channels. A/C works really good. Floor carpet could be cleaner. Plenty of space for storage. They didn't provide any washcloth just a small size hand towel and body towel. If you're on your phone a lot, i don't recommend this place. Wifi isn't great. No internet connection in this hotel even without their wifi. Shated bathroom was a new experience. 2 showers and 2 toilets on the floor i stayed on. They could have a place for you to keep your shoes when showering. The shower was spacious. Water pressure good. It got hot but not scalding hot which would've been nice. Plenty of room in toilet area too. Also 2 sinks with mirror and 1 hand dryer. Location is a bit of a walk from subway station if taking C or E train there. Also you can catch bus to it, M14 and M20. I took the M20 straight down 8th Av to get to MSG. Then after leaving MSG i just walked back up 8th Av to the hotel. Park is nearby of Bleeker St and 8th Av. Plenty of restaurants and stores off 8th Av too. Check-in process was easy. You can do it ahead of your trip via link they send by text or email. Also check-out was easy too. Overall nice stay, just the wifi needs work.

The pictures are a lie! Since the hotel was sold all of the areas shown in the advertised pictures like the bell hop, front desk, basically the look of the Hotel Tower of Terror is gone. It is now a private club and inaccessible to guests. I was so disappointed. I brought my daughter here be cause I knew she would love it. What a mjor let down. I will NEVER stay here again . TAKE DOWN THE MISLEADING PHOTOS!!

BEDBUGS!!! Found them on my bed. And someone came into my room because they gave that person access by mistake

Great area close to the high line

Good 👌

There is a real charm to this place that should be preserved and celebrated! And the price can't be beat. Also hard to imagine a more chill location in Manhattan.

Very unique!! It was clean and staff were friendly.

Perfectly fulfilled what I needed during my visit to the city - a comfortable, quiet place to lay down for the night. The staff were clear about communicating a need for me to change rooms mid-stay due to renovations being done on my floor and it wasn't an issue. I did note an odd odor in some of the hallways, though.

I LOVED the Jane Hotel. Not fancy, carpets worn and all that. But clean, impecable service and so much character. And the price and location cannot be beat.

I believe this is my 4th or 5th time staying there and I like it as a solo traveler. Liking booking this hotel.

Great

Very good

My stay at The Jane Hotel was extremely disappointing. As soon as I stepped off the elevator on the 4th floor, the entire hallway reeked of urine — the smell was so strong it gave me a headache. I had to request a room change because it was simply unbearable. When I mentioned this to the front desk, they acknowledged it. They explained that some tenants live in the building and that “their smell is very, very strong.” Honestly, it’s shocking that they are renting out rooms as a hotel under these conditions. No guest should have to tolerate a hallway that smells like a public restroom. To make matters worse, the website is misleading. It advertises a charming hotel experience with a restaurant, lobby, and bar — but those no longer exist for guests. They’ve been turned into a private social club, completely inaccessible to hotel visitors. Overall, between the poor conditions, lack of transparency, and misrepresentation, I would strongly advise against staying here.

Love that you feel as if you have stopped back on time! So many unique features!
