We had a great stay here! The room was large, sheets and towels were fresh and clean, and they tidied the room everyday. There are a few quirks, like the wifi didn’t work very well and the tv wasn’t set up to anything so was unusable. These things didn’t bother us though. The bed was comfy and the room was surprisingly very quiet for NYC. The location was amazing! We would definitely stay again.

Location is great, loved that there was a Starbucks steps away from the front door for an easy coffee fix in the AM. Overall the room was very clean and comfortable. Very quiet minus the normal street sirens and horns that are NYC. Everything was close and convenient - a short walk to subway, CVS/Duane Reade and easy Uber pick up right in front. The cookies were an awesome surprise and much needed each night after dinner.

Fabulous location and comfort, right in the heart of the Lower East Side, walking distance to cool eats, coffee, shopping and multiple subway lines. Check-in instructions were far, far easier than we thought they would be. Love the elevator and HVAC! And super responsive answers to every issue or minor need. Well done, Kasa!

Such a great hotel. Our room was very spacious for a NYC hotel. It was super clean and so easy to check in. We had one issue with the power going out, we texted them, they responded, and our power was fixed in less than 15 minutes. The hotel location is perfect to get around the city. It will be our go to hotel when visiting NYC!

We stayed at Kasa Lantern New York from October 29 to November 1 and had a great experience! The room was very clean, the self check-in process was easy, and the location is close to the subway. You can hear some traffic noise sometimes, but it wasn’t a big issue. The staff were very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

I had a great stay at the Lantern! I stayed in a typical King room, and overall had a really positive experience. The location is definitely the biggest plus, right on Delancey/Essex St in the Lower East Side. It’s close to multiple train lines, so getting to Midtown, Uptown, and Brooklyn was super easy. Everything was very clean throughout the property. The room was a bit smaller than I initially expected, but that’s pretty typical for New York. We had an okay view, but really loved the large window and bench seating area. The mini kitchen setup with hotplates was nice to have. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t a freezer, and in our room the hotplate didn’t get hot enough to boil water, so we ended up using the kettle to cook. Not a big issue overall, but something to keep in mind if you plan on cooking more often. My favorite amenity was the 24/7 laundry room and having detergent and dryer sheets provided was a huge plus. Daily light housekeeping was also appreciated, with fresh towels and linens and the bed made each day. Noise-wise, the walls were a bit thin. You could hear neighbors even when they weren’t being loud, and the elevator was noticeable. Being on a busy street, there’s also constant traffic and street noise, but that’s kind of just New York haha. Overall, it was a solid stay in a great location, and I’d definitely consider staying at this Kasa again!

The room was comfy and had everything we needed for a 4-night stay. The shower was hot and the A/C cold. Service was impeccable as our room was cleaned every day. The location is close to great restaurants, shopping, coffee houses… pretty much everything you need. This was our first time staying here but it will not be the last as we come to the city at least twice a year to visit our son.
