What guests think

At Kasa Lantern Lower East Side, reviewers consistently highlight a convenient Lower East Side location near subways and dining, generally clean and surprisingly spacious rooms with useful kitchenettes, and an easy digital, staff-light check-in that feels secure and straightforward.

However, feedback on service is mixed because there is no traditional front desk; support is virtual and helpful for many but frustrating or slow for some needs. A few guests mention small or noisy street-facing rooms and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses (e.g., dirty windows, towel issues, temperature or hot-water problems). Most agree it’s a safe, modern, no-frills stay in a lively area.

Room is fine & clean, but this is not a hotel. Completely unmanned, "service" is by text or calling an external call center that knows absolutely nothing about the property gives wrong answers. Very complicated check-in: you get a door code 1 hour before check-in time. Want to leave bags in the lobby? Sorry, no staff! Need anything? Sorry, no staff! Talking to their call center is like calling HP about a printer problem: time-consuming & frustrating.

I liked the efficient entrance and sense of security. Very spacious and equipped for a comfortable relatively low cost stay (kitchen facilities) I particularly liked the responsiveness of the organization, both on the phone and on email

We LOVED Kasa Lantern. Easy self check in. Very clean and cozy. Felt extremely safe with security inside the lobby. All staff we interacted with were very kind. Area has great food around and is a close walk to the subway. Will definitely stay here again.

What a gem! I was nervous about the virtual front desk but it worked out wonderfully. They allowed me to check in early which was a blessing on a cold January day! The room was compact but well put together. Great to have a fridge, tea, microwave and sound machine. I was able to make the room nice and warm during the day and cool at night to sleep. Also - the sheets smelled wonderful. My only suggestion is to allow the shower water to get hotter. Five stars!!

The hotel is very clean, aesthetic, functional and overall great. The location is amazing, right next to a lot of restaurants, cafes and bars, and very close to subway stops. I would definitely recommend. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities I needed. My only comment would be that I never received the pre check in email (possibly because I had booked the night before), so when I got to the hotel I had to call them to get access to the hotel and my room (there is no front desk). However, the person on the phone was very friendly and fast, and the process was super effective and fast. All of the instructions are clear and easy. Thank you for a great stay!

My particular room was noisy as we were next to Delancey street. The window sounded like it was open which made it hard to sleep. However, they do offer a sound machine which was very nice, and came with a large selection of noises. Overall the room and hotel was clean and orderly. The hotel does not have a concierge so there is no need to interact with people if you don’t want to. Everything went smoothly and we enjoyed our stay.

This was my second time staying at a Kasa property and it was just as good as the first. The apartment was very clean and smelled amazing from Sunday - Tuesday (when I departed). The soaking tub was EVERYTHING! After a long day of walking around the city the soaking tub was the ucing on the cake. Perfect!

We chose this property because it was a seven minute walk to our daughter’s apartment. The attention to details for me was key. A very large refrigerator, a microwave, complementary coffee, and tea numerous cups a blow dryer a spacious bathroom a very large shower, where all very appealing to us. We’ll definitely stay there again in the future.!!

When I arrived in the room my window had an enormous crack in it and despite notifying “staff” twice about it there was no communication or reaching out. I frankly felt unsafe with the window looking like it was about to cave in with a light breeze.
