Just stayed at the Thompson LES with my husband and young daughter in the Studio King Suite, a few days before Memorial Day (Wed night-Saturday morning). Here's a breakdown of our stay: Good: 1) The staff at the hotel were super friendly, quick and very helpful when asked for extra services (i.e. making up the sofa bed for my daughter,...

Having stayed at the Thompson LES a few times I have been continually surprised and disappointed by the pretentious and arrogant attitude of some (not all) of the staff. Mostly it's the reception staff that just have too much attitude which makes an unpleasant stay overall. Concierge have always been super nice. There are too many other great hotels nearby...

I found the hotel to be way to noisy! We stayed from Fri-Mon and every night we were either interrupted by drunken people getting home at 3-4 in the morning or the fire alarm (which went off 2 of the 3 nights we were there!). Nobody bothered announcing it was a false alarm so everyone ended up evacuating the hotel...

My fiancé and I were blown away by the service provided to us at the Thompson LES! Shivali, Megan and Noah helped my fiancé to plan the most romantic and surprising proposal. They went above and beyond the call of duty, and we can’t thank them enough! I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a cool...

I checked into the Thompson LES on April 21st. I was informed that my credit card would be charged in full at check in for the entire stay plus $150/night security deposit (I was staying 3 nights). This was unusual and my credit card was declined for the entire balance. I asked if I could put it on two cards...

The place will get you in the real NYC mood in notime. Classy, but not over the top, modern but not inpractical, this place has it all. Go foe the LES, it is the place to be now!

I only stayed one night but liked it a lot. Very modern design, i guess you could call it industrial chic (bare concrete ceilings etc). Still very comfortable - especially the bed and the bathroom. My only gripe as with many modern design hotels is the lighting for wich you either need a manual or a PhD and which is...

I reserved a one bedroom studio suite and lets say literally it felt as though I was back at home in my loft condo. If you're looking for the concrete meets wood with high end modern fixtures (think DWR) this is the place for you. My suite was spacious and the loft style bed was comfy. This place is all...

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Our stay was wonderful. We had 2 rooms, and both were clean, nicely decorated, had nice views and were very comfortable. The service was outstanding... from the reception desk, the valet, the men who handled our bags and got us taxis. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience.

Over the years I've stayed at many Thompson hotels on both coasts (Roosevelt, GuildHall, Thompson St, 6 Columbus) but this was by far the most disappointing experience. While the rooms are large and well designed, I was staying in a corner room #1000 with balcony (great views of LES) and found the noise (til around 2am) from the bar/restaurant and...
