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. Book the Arlo NoMad starting at $106 per nightĬute messages written by past guests were tacked to the wall opposite the elevators.Similarly, if you've come to the hotel just to enjoy panoramic city views from the comfort of your bed, you'll want to splurge on a King or Queen Sky Room. It's important to know that if you do want a King bed, you only have two room types: the King Room City and the King Room Sky, and both are higher tier rooms starting at $133 and $214 respectively. I focused most of my time out of the room, with multiple coworking spaces that offered a place to set up shop and get work done, while the downstairs Bodega kept me fueled up on coffee and snacks. I hoped for better views than the basic Queen Room, but ended up mainly just looking out at a construction site. I stayed in a Queen Room City room starting at $120, but paid $254 for a last-minute midweek booking in late winter, so those prices do greatly fluctuate. However, those prices do jump into the mid-$300s during the popular fall season. But it's certainly worth upgrading to at least the basic Queen Room, especially since some nights those rooms start at just $107. Keeping with the feel, entry-level rooms here start at $106 for twin bunk rooms. The hotel expertly mixes the nostalgia of hanging out with friends in dorm room common areas, or at hostel bars, but with a much more sophisticated feel to best suit young professionals, couples, and business travelers.

With the average room size measuring a mere 150 square feet, the Arlo NoMad is a boutique hotel where you won't find any grand suites or spacious upgrades.īut for travelers who plan to spend most of their days exploring the city, or are looking to meet and mingle with other young professionals and travelers, this is a worthy option.
