We had a great experience at the Thompson LES in April 2013. The complimentary upgrade to a Junior King Suite when we arrived was a pretty decent start. But in general the staff at the front desk and concierge were super helpful and good fun. I requested a room that would be quiet because we planned on getting some good... More

I've been lucky enough to visit NYC for many years now and have stayed at many lower Manhattan hotels such as The Bowery & The Soho Grand. I'm just back from my 5th stay at the LES & can honestly say, in terms of value, professionalism, location & facilities, it is by far the best hotel. The rooms are large... More

Thompson LES isn't just a hotel, it's a lunching pad for some of the hippest parts of the city. Surrounded by great food and and music, and a lovely walk to Williamsburg. The staff is top notch and has gone out of its way to make my stay outstanding, guiding me to the rooms that show off the city. And... More

We stayed 7 nights. We loved the location, room ( we had a standard room on the 17th floor) is ok, bed was good and shower comfortable. When we checked in, staff was very busy looking around and found it difficult therefore to answer our questions. We were informed that there was a restaurant on the second floor and that... More

Hotel was clean. Front desk, concierge and cleaners were all friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay there again. Hotel is about a 15 minute walk to Soho. No issues with the rooms. Clean and furnished with modern fixtures. Room size was perfect.

First time at the Thompson LES...loved it great location, super central to everything downtown and below. There were some issues with the room booking when I arrived; however, Robert at the front desk was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure that we were inconvenienced as little as possible while throwing in some little extras as well.

If you've stayed at a Thompson before, you already know the deal. The LES is quite in line w/the kickassery Thompson is known for - modern, edgy, low lit, in the interesting parts of town, and most importantly, amazing staff. They give spot-on recommendations for places to eat and things to do, yet won't judge you during check-out when clearly... More

I've stayed at the Thompson LES several times when I visit my son, who lives a few blocks away. I have stayed in other hotels within a short distance and found they don't compare to the Thompson.
