BürgerM New York Bowery

“The hotel was fine; the location could have been better.”

We had been warned that the room would be small, but while smallish it was well designed and we never felt cramped.

We chose the location on the Bowery because we had come to NYC to attend an event held there. The Bowery is still a dicey neighborhood, however -- gentrification rubs shoulders with homelessness, the New Museum with the Bowery Mission -- and it suffers from the disadvantage of being so far downtown that it's a lengthy trek to most of the city's points of interest. (An exception was the Tenement Museum, just a few blocks away, as was Russ and Daughters delicatessen. Brooklyn -- the bridge and the borough -- were near as well.)

“Loved the views and rooftop, location was good, tiny room and bathroom left no semblance of privacy. Would be great for”

Fun urban vibe Proximity to Nolita and SoHo Rooftop was beautiful

We thought coffee and tea was included for hotel guests but were told no, only for those who purchase the continental breakfast. The frosted glass “bathroom” really left nothing to the imagination- you could hear everything that the other person was doing in the bathroom. Had to go down to the lower level for more privacy. A/C did not get very cold- had to put it on the lowest setting and still was not cool.

“Hip hotel in lower east side.”

Hip hotel in fantastic location. Near food, fashion (Nolita) history (Tenement Museum), public transportation. Small rooms but great views. Hip lobby for people watching and hanging out.

The iPad controls for the lights and blinds are a little cumbersome. Nowhere to hang things in bathroom. Check in process is overly automated now and feels unfriendly.
