Many guests call out the staff as exceptional, naming their favorite bartenders and receptionists who made them feel especially at home. The Arlo NoMad has an 8.6 out of 10 on and a 4.5 out of 5-star rating on Trip Advisor, ranking 53 out of 510 hotels in New York City. On that front, I did sleep well, though I could hear some light traffic noise despite being on a higher floor. It's clear that the rooms here are made for sleeping and not much else.

Pro tip: for the absolute best view that includes wraparound windows and a close-up look at the Empire State Building, call ahead and ask if Sky Room 2906 is available for your stay. Otherwise, stick with the more basic Queen Room option and save the extra money as the mid-tier offering didn't feel elevated enough to warrant the higher price. Based on my experience, if you're dying to take that classic Instagram shot laying in a bed pushed right up the glass with Manhattan views in the background, book the Sky Rooms. However, my view really left a lot to be desired and was mainly of two tall buildings currently under construction. I booked the Queen City room as opposed to the cheaper Queen Room or Queen Room Urban in the hopes that being on a higher floor would give me decent views without needing to spring for the highest-tier Queen or King Sky Rooms. The Sky View rooms offer significantly better city views, with wraparound windows and beds pushed right up against the glass. A lone lightbulb with no cover and a wire running down to the plug visibly rested above the seat.Īfter getting over my initial misgivings about the size of the room, I actually found it to be quite cozy and enjoyed the modern design aesthetic. My room also had a small wooden side table on one side and a gray seat in the corner on the other side.

The bed had crisp, white linens and a large flat-screen TV was mounted across from it. Instead, one wall featured a small nook with hangers. Small drawers also pulled out and housed the room safe.
The beds were all measured to rest just high enough off the floor to accommodate any standard suitcase underneath. Even as a solo traveler it will feel tight. A 150-square-foot room definitely made for cramped quarters for two people. Nearly all the rooms, including this Queen City room, are just 150 square feet so it's fairly cramped quarters.Īs noted, you don't come to Arlo NoMad for the extra legroom. In a way, the hotel reminded me of an upscale take on European hostels, with easy and built-in ways for guests to meet each other and hang out beyond the rooms. Similarly, I spotted a few twenty-somethings who had already closed their laptops for the day hanging out at the bar. As I wandered the second floor after dropping off my bags in my room, I encountered several young professionals making use of the multiple coworking spaces. While the rooms here are notoriously small, the hotel is clearly set up to encourage both locals and guests to mingle and make use of the ample common areas. I'm sure if you'd like to contribute one, the front desk would be happy to accommodate.
The elevator bank presented its own warm welcome in the form of drawings and notes previous guests had written on colored paper, which were scattered across a message board and spilled over across the walls.
