Great room, great location
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
This property is a real find if, like me, you've had enough of corporate mid-town hotels.
You just have a room and a key - no concierge / bar / restaurant etc. so it's more like staying in someone's...

Great downtown option
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love this property, as it's really well located close to bowery/east village and all of the restaurants and bars that come with the neighbourhood. The rooms are a lot larger than almost anything...

After very upsetting experience at another neighborhood hotel, found this jewel of a hotel completely by accident. Beautiful 'row house' hotel built in 1848 and in excellent shape! The room was clean...

Beautiful, but little in the way of service
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars
Anyone staying here needs to realize this is a guest house, not a hotel. You are paying for a room only. There is no common space, no lounge, no front desk, no doorman, and no staff whatsoever after...

One of the nicest guesthouses in Manhattan
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
One of the nicest guesthouses in Manhattan is on a side street in the quickly being gentrified Bowery near all the East village boites and the boutiques of NoLiTa. Owned by the same duo behind the...

home away from home
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
Almost didn't write this review because i didn't want anyone else to find out how good this place was in case we couldn't get a room next time. Each room is unique and the style is old world brown...

We ended our trip along the East Coast in NYC for my boyfriend's 40th birthday. He had stayed here for work once before and fell in love with the unique style and historic yet eclectic vibe. We had a...

Used to be fabulous...staff turnover made LH iffy
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars
To get a sense of what Lafayette House is all about, read the previous reviews. The building and accoutrements ARE pretty special. It is not for everyone but serves a unique need in NYC....much more...
