- Let's go inside a 50 square foot New York City hotel room that could be NYC's version of the capsule hotel? It costs $125 a night, is it worth it to stay in what could be NYC's cheapest room?

I don't mind the size at all. But I need my own bathroom for sure. Great video....as always.
Yes indeed! On both comments.
We looked at The Jane for a trip last year. Bathroom was a dealbreaker for my wife. We stayed at Leo House, same neighborhood, $20 more but we had a standard bathroom in the room, and breakfast. Charming and historic in its own way, same general area, can recommend.
I think it's a rare gem. You don't visit NYC to be pampered by a hotel in the way it is for Las Vegas. No, you're here to spend 90% of your time exploring a city. It seems a lot safer than a hostel. I wish they had the same in Queens or Brooklyn since I need to spend more time there. I've already seen too much of Manhattan during my visits. It's a great idea.
This looked like a charming, historical, clean and beautiful hostel kind of experience. I travel with carry on only and I would definitely stay there!
I have no doubt you'd make this work :) Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Yeah I have no issues with the hotel itself (I actually quite enjoy little spaces like that - cosy) but I'm concerned about the location. Apparently there's a night club on the premises and being so far from public transport and single female traveler who plans being out at night, well....
(Also I've read some reviews about it being a pay by the hour hotel, if you get my drift)
I actually stayed there in October. And I could not lay my suitcase on the floor to open it - only on the bed.
But the rooftop is beautiful, the staff is very nice, and if - as you said - you use your hotel for sleeping and are out exploring all day, it is just what you need at a good price
This is a very heartwarming and nostalgic video for me. This was the very first place I ever stayed at in the City.
Im a Canadian tourist just getting back from Manhattan and wow what a city to be in. I was pleasantly surprised that not everyone was rude lol! Many people were very nice actually. Stayed at the Millennium Broadway on 44th right beside Time Square. Subways smelt like pee everywhere but were soo efficient for traveling. Absolutely loved NY and hope to return one day.
The people are very friendly, most of them are just in a hurry or are focused on getting somewhere so they appear rude. Some of the nicest people are there, many don't know it though. Glad you saw past the stereotype! I love NYC, glad you loved it too😊
glad you had a good time! Wish you could’ve seen NYC pre-pandemic. It truly was chaotic. The city’s still great but definitely not as lively as it once was.
You make a good point about it being like a train sleeper compartment. That puts a different perspective on it for me. I am not sure why anyone is bothered by a ten minute walk to a subway--that area is great and you'd be so busy looking at everything, the time would zoom by. Plus, visitors to NYC should try using buses. Being above ground means you see things and you can save the subway for covering the longer distances. The M11 bus is two blocks away.
I’m so glad to have seen this video from you today! I found out about The Jane when looking into budget accommodations in NY and love the history and architecture. I’m so glad my daughter has a sense of adventure because she is also excited to stay here with me. Its a place to sleep for us, has a great rooftop to look out from, and is so close to great food stops, Chelsea Market and Highline. We can’t wait - shared bathrooms and all! That said because she is a minor, we will be going to the washroom together but that’s such an easy compromise (toilets and showers are private within the shared space). Honestly, don’t know why you wouldn’t stay here! I booked 6months in advance (from Canada) and got a rate of $105USD. We are staying 2 nights (we have 3 hotels in NY over a week) and honestly the 2 nights here are less then a single night anywhere else we are staying. Your videos have helped me build a great trip so thank you!
I love the Jane Hotel, I stayed here this past June for my trip to New York. I booked the single bed one and it had a little more room than the bunk bed one but I was out all the time exploring the city that I didn’t mind. What I also loved was that they have a night club in the hotel. I would definitely recommend the Jane Hotel to anyone who’s on a budget and is planing on visiting New York.
I’m planning my trip to New York for next month and I’ve got such a great itinerary because of you! safe to say I’m a fan now. great video with so much history. will hopefully see you around the city soon!
What your missing is the beautiful coffee shop and the Friday and Sunday night club that they line up for. The club has the Disco ball from Studio 54. I live in Battery Park down the road and stayed there for the experience. The developers poured a ton of money into restoring the Jane to the previous time. The faucets are beautiful. When I researched them I found that they are so expensive and the best and kept to the era. Thank you Jane developers for giving us New Yorkers back and preserving a piece of our history.
The club closed in November but I should have mentioned it
I almost reserved in that hotel, but I couldn't let go of the bathroom
This was a great idea & adventure & fun way to show The Jane! 👏 Seriously, nicely done! I have stayed when a friend was visiting...slept on the floor! So I would happily take a bunk bed haha. Those worried about sharing a bathroom have clearly never lived in a NYC apartment/house with roommates...but I understand your hesitation. If you can get past that (and don't travel with tons of luggage) give it a try! Or you can always book the larger rooms. Cool place!
I visited the Jane a few years ago . after checking out the titanic museum located in Cobh , Ireland - that is the last place the titanic picked up passengers - before sinking. to close the loop - had to visit the Jane , as you stated , where survivors were transported from their open pickup. the Jane was so interesting. nice video. ~ JDS/CT
I grew up in the neighborhood, and my dad actually owned the builing next to the Jane Street Hotel. It's still amazes me how the hotel and the area aroung have gone so "upscale." It's changed from what was the "actual" meat packing disctict, and the hotle is no longer the flea-bag flop house it was. It may be a nicer place to stay at than it was, but "something" about New York always gets lost in these kinds of transformations.
I wish there was a way for things to be safe and clean without losing their soul
Totally agree. I stayed there in 1998 for 2 months and it was nothing like this. It was very seedy but I had the best time of my life. Stayed there again last year and hated it.
@@ICONICPARIS Greenwich Village is my home town-- and I loved it. (I loved New York City in general.) But by 1995, the Village was a pale shadow of what it was before; I left in 1991 to go to Brooklyn. And like New York itself, Brooklyn has changed, and not what it was when I got here. Change is constant, here.
Keep this great content going, thanks so much!
I stayed here before in 2021 I believe, when I didn't feel like commuting back and forth into Manhattan. I believe the single bed room was $70 or $80 a night. It was a pleasant experience! The rooftop and restaurant were closed at that time due to the pandemic, so I only was really there to rest for the night. Very charming, vintage, Wes Anderson vibe... I always warn tall people (5'10"ft and over), you will be longer than the bed, LOL.
Wish this video had been around when I first tried the Jane out.
The Jane Hotel is where I usually stay when I visit NYC. It's cheap yet charming. The location in between Chelsea and the Village and at the southern end of the High Line can't be beat. I'll be staying there again at the end of the month.
hi mr barr love your channel keep up the good work
Love the architecture! And fascinating tidbit about the survivors of the Titanic staying there
The place is interesting on SO many levels
I would absolutely stay there!! I try to come to New York (I live near San Francisco) about every 6-8 months, so finding something affordable, clean and in a safe area is key. I visit New York for the city experiences and its people, so a small, partially shared accommodation wouldn't bother me at all. In fact, it sounds like fun!
glad to find this video. stayed 2 times, always a great adventure ,-)
I’ve actually stayed here years ago when it first reopened. I loved it and very affordable as a single traveler. 👍
I love it! I would definitely stay there! Thanks so much, Jon!
Thanks for this one! Really unique hotel.
The La Quinta Hotel by Strawberry fields (i think its around W. 67th st) is an excellent deal. I paid 125 for one night in an old rowhouse that had been converted into a hotel, and it was the best deal ever. It's in lincoln park which is a great neighborhood for a tourist to stay in, right by central park, plenty of food choices, safe, best of all it had a private bathroom, with a shower!!! (it was extremely cramped, but worth it for the privacy)
And the room was actually a little less than twice as big as the one in this video. I have it saved because it will probably be my go to hotel room whenever I visit manhattan/the city in general.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting LaQuinta. I will check into it. $125 is my price range and wanted a private bath.
Loved this video amazing historical place
Oh wow, thanks for that video. I come to visit from germany in may and i have booked a room at the janes some months ago. I loved its charm. Thanks for all the insides. Now i´m sure i booked the right place. Pretty exited to see your beautiful city for the first time.🗽
Thanks!
That was so interesting to see, you're always bringing good stuff to the table. 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I looked the rates for a captians room , not too expensive. The hotel bar looks great. Nice hidden gem!!!
This is an excellent (as usual) Jon Barr video, and a fine introduction to the Jane Hotel for prospective visitors. The building has nautical design elements because of its original purpose to provide inexpensive and safe housing for sailors from the liners and cargo ships that used to crowd the harbor (see the history section of the Jane's website). I stayed at the Jane last December and while the bar and restaurant being closed was an inconvenience, Hector's Diner and Cafe, tucked under the nearby High Line, is a gem. And the hotel is very close to the Whitney Museum. A gentle reminder that the RMS Titanic was an ocean liner, not a cruise ship, and thanks for drawing attention to the ocean liner plaques mounted on the fence near the entrance to Little Island.
I have stayed at the Jane many times, For a quick visit to NYC I like that it is the mart packing district and close to the High Line. Best deal if you want to stay in Manhattan
Good call featuring this hotel. I loved my stay there!
Would definitely stay here! Thanks for sharing
THis video is amazing! I knew OF the Jane but not much more! So cool to get a glimpse inside!
Could be a fun little short for you, even if you don't stay in a room.
I don't know if when I went to ny on November 2021 it was still cheap because of the pandemonium but I payed like 120$ for a room in a hotel called Shocard, it has very few rooms, not a tall building but literally next to times square and great room and very comfortable (with a bathroom).
To see that this one its the same price its mind blowing.
Thanks for posting. I need help with a place near the Amtrak Station.
Do you remember the street?
I'll look up the Shocard
@@sandygenier795 easy to find on Google maps
Thanks for the tip. That's very central. I was trying to avoid Times Square but in terms of hotels that are close to transport and budget this looks like a good option
I looked up Hotel Shocard after reading your post. Thank you SO MUCH for the suggestion. I REALLY needed a place in that $125 price. Now I'm just trying to find a place within easy walking distance of Moynihan Train station. Thank you again.
Did you get a chance to check the AC?
A cold room I can deal with but a hot room would be the only deal breaker for me.
Love this video. I stayed at the Jane back in November last year for 5 days. I actually really quite like the small room and charm of the place. The location is great, right by the Hudson, high line, i found it really quiet and peaceful in the area, compared to midtown. The people who worked there were really friendly and happy too, always making time to greet you and ask you about your day.
Interesting. So I assume it was warm enough? I'm looking at a trip this Dec.
I'm a little concerned about the location too. Single female traveling alone - concerned about coming back at night (not particularly late but still)
@@susie9893 hi Susie, when I went it was early November last year and it was really warm for that time of year so i can't comment on what it would be like in depths of winter.
As for safety late at night i found the area to be very quiet and nice. Little island is about 5mins away and the start of the high line. I also travelled alone.
As for location, I enjoy walking and was walking 10 miles at least a day. Starting at the high line it took me about 25 mins walk and it brings you out to the vessel area then not too far from the empire state building from there.
I not only would stay there, I have stayed there. The room was very cozy,.
I liked the communal bathroom, met some nice people there in the morning.
You just can not speak to someone in the communal bathroom, unlike
everywhere else in NYC. This is one of my favorite spots in NYC.
I loved my stay at The Jane last spring. Brushed my teeth with a nice lady from London one morning. We discussed our vacation plans. Another morning I met a nice man from Australia and we marveled over seeing the Statue of Liberty outside the bathroom window. My daughter is staying with her boyfriend next month!
@@jitterbeansdid the Australian guy say to you Gday mate let's put some shrimp On the BBQ lol
Cool! I love those old historic buildings!
I’ve stayed at the Jane twice, and I have loved it both times! Cozy and clean and historic. I love it. Hedwig and the Angry Inch premiered there back in the day, the theater is now a ballroom.
I’d definitely recommend the YMCA or HI NYC hostel, they’re much cheaper per night and offer more amenities!
The reason for the nautical theme is because the building was originally the American Seamen's Friend Society Sailors' Home and Institute, a hotel for sailors built in 1906-08 and designed by William A. Boring
More details in Wikipedia 😊
I know the Jane Hotel for over 10 years. I never stayed there, though, because of is its location, far from public transportation. Thanks for sharing with us its history. In your video it's clear to see this hotel has a distinct character.
Interesting place. I enjoyed all the history you found out about it. Would I stay there? Sure. If money was tight and my plan was to stay out all day and use the room as nothing more than a bedroom, then I don't see why not. I am a little claustrophobic but at least there's a window, that helps. The shared bathroom would be the worst part, but everyone has to use a public restroom sometimes and it's probably a lot better than that. I definitely wouldn't want to live there for 30 years though! 😆
😃
this is great actually.. place seems nice and cool building
two blocks to the high line and two blocks to west beth - what more do you need? Thanks for this video in my old neighborhood....
Lovely, and of course I'd stay there, I'd seek it. 🌞
I stayed at The Jane several times and it’s always been great 👍 there is also a great cafè and a really cool bar / lounge area 👌 and not to forget rooftop 👌 and your just 5 min. walk from The Highline 🥳
WOW that hotel is GREAT!!! It's very historic and very classy. AMAZING that you can spend as little as $120!!!
How did you determine which hotel was cheapest? I recently moved to NYC and did multiple back and forth trips while apartment hunting. I generally paid 100$ a night for significantly better 3 star hotels in the city. Most of them were not in touristy areas and were in places like Upper East Side, Grand Central or Long Island City.
I actually have a 2 night reservation for April, to explore the city (otherwise staying on LI with a friend)…looks really cool. So thanks dor the video, now I know what to expect. 😊
Good video.
My fiancee and I just stayed in room 431 bunk beds. Loved it and I can't believe I missed seeing you by a couple days.
Great video. The Jane is also 2 blocks from the relocated Whitney Museum and the south end of the High Line. It's also close to the West Village.
I’ve actually been debating here for an impromptu trip later this month (first time ever in the US!). I’m stuck between here and the Yotel near Times Square, which is obviously much bigger, private bathroom but more expensive.
Would appreciate any accommodation recommendations for a nervous first time solo traveller on a budget 🙏🏻
Me too. I wanted a place to walk to from Moynihan.
I'm also planning a solo trip and looking for budget options and what concerns me most about the Jane is the location. I've had good experience with Yotels previously but the NYC 1 looks to have no better location that the Jane imo (regarding transport).
I'm eyeing up Pod 51 but reviews are very mixed (really like this location tho)
Me too. Near Moynihan Train station. Thank you.
I visited there in early-mid 90s. Definitely a welfarish hostelry of last resort. Built as a Seamans' Relief Center, later a YMCA until it's conversion to a hotel. Theater there was once very active, launching Hedwig and the Angry Itch.
It looks awesome! I've stayed in rooms that small (and with shared bathrooms) so it wouldn't be a problem for me, and really....if you're spending the bulk of your day out exploring NYC who cares about the other stuff, as long as your lodging is safe and clean.
So interesting thanks for sharing. Even though I'm a native I watch the tourist videos too!. I would stay here save money. As a tourist you spend very little time in a room. Let's say you are having work done in your apt and you just need an overnight place it would work.
If you came here with your wife and child it would be a tight squeeze. Thumbs up to all of your videos
Love staying at The Jane. This past March 2023, my room was $95.00 per night. I travel to NYC three times each year and always stay at The Jane. Nearby is a great place for breakfast , Hector's! Opens at 5:00AM. Hector's is next to the last remaining meat packing business in the Meat Packing district. Love that area!
nice i will stay thanks for the vidoe
Wait! Did you just say that last name first the man's name was Boring Bill??? I thought I heard William Boring. LMFAO... Yeah I'm drinking!
1 million view video guaranteed. Fun video J!
haha, Marc next trip? Do you dare?
@@HereBeBarr I do t think I could fit :)
I am a Canadian who was in NYC in April 2023. We watched your video and stayed at the Jane. Unfortunately the hotel is under construction for the next year, so we didn’t get the full Jane experience. The room was just fine… but I am a boater and very used to this type of accommodation… we also just slept there as we were out and about all day. The lack of a private bathroom was a bit of a negative point as we were sharing the bathroom with construction workers in the morning. Mind you, they were all very nice. The hotel is in a great area… close to the Highline, Hudson River Greenway, Little Island, Chelsea Market etc. Loved the quaint neighborhood… the cobble stone street was an added bonus. In the end we paid $240 Canadian for the room. I would stay there again… my partner would prefer a bit more of an upgrade.
The Jane?! That place used to have the wildest parties! I always admired the vibe.
Stayed at this hotel for my first NYC visit, completely didn't expect it to be a hip place for clubbing at weekend nights. The bouncer had to confirm whether I'm a guest whenever I enter the premise lol
Club just closed
@@HereBeBarr Whaaaat?!! Well, that's Meatpacking district for us I guess. I hope they will revamp it into something else. I noticed even the lounge/cafe (?) was dotted by content creator/fashion people and the likes back then. This was Feb 2022 btw
Oh dang that's pretty interesting. Definitely would be a good a place for a single traveler. If I wind up back in the city but by myself, it would certainly work for me. Really cool spot.
I did consider the Jane for my recent trip in Dec and for my now booked trip for Jan 2024. Long Island City is the pro tip though. Hotels that are much nicer and a fraction of the cost of NYC central hotels. Short walk to subway stations and into Manhattan in as little as 10 mins from walking out of your hotel front door. Impossible to beat.
I’ve stayed here. It’s really great value and a good option for solo travellers in particular
Room doesn’t bother me, my only problem is having to share the restroom or getting up in the middle of the night to go use the restroom in using the hallway, not convenient at all.
I'm planning a trip to New York later this year, don't have a big budget so I'm currently looking for a cheap hotel not too far from the center, and this one might be what I need. I don't care about the size of the room, or the shared bathroom, only need a place to sleep. And all the Titanic-related stuff is amazing. Thanks for that.
I know I shouldn’t have but I burst out laughing at the “I hate you Dad”
😂😆
I stayed there last october was very happy with it
Depending on the time of year, you can find bigger hotel rooms in NYC from the major chains for $100 to 125, especially in lower Manhattan.
Would you suggest some of those $125 places for me please. I am flexible on travel dates if I could get a $125 room with a private bathroom. Thank you very much.
I would totally stay there!
I lived in the Chelsea Hotel in the seventies and my large studio with kitchen and bath was 285 a month with a stabilized lease. I had many friends in the Chelsea and we always wondered how much a river view at the Jane would cost. At 5he time the Jane was an SRO (single room occupancy) which catered to single old men , retired sailors and down in their luck men and women alcoholics. It is notable that the Jane started to upgrade its image in the 80's and had a punk club and was the first off Broadway home of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Pre Covid, before I moved to Queens, I would rent a room for the week at various YMCA's, they have one in Flushing, Greenpoint, Harlem and two in Midtown, the prices were below 100.00 a night, and tax free. The only place now is West Side Ymca.
Stayed there back when the Captain's Cabin was still a thing. Private balcony, private bathroom. Very cool. (They still list the cabin, but it's never available.)
very cool price with very cute details but uh .. yeeeeeeah, I need my own bathroom
I’d stay there just for the association to the Titanic. How cool!
Funny enough, for my last trip to NYC I was torn between the Jane Hotel and Carlton Arms. Ended up staying in the latter, and I had a blast. But for my next trip to the city, I might choose the Jane Hotel as it looks so gorgeous!
Would absolutely stay there! When I visit NYC, the hotel is just a place to sleep.
Great video! The shared bathroom is a no for me 🙂
I've stayed in this hotel and loved it, however what you didn't show is that this hotel has a nightclub next to the lobby and can get really loud and quiet at night if you aren't on a higher level floor. Usually a huge line to get in so you have to go the front and let them know you are a guest to get in past the huge line.
Thanks for this. I'd read about the nightclub + noise etc. Altho nice to hear it's just Fri-Sun? I'm a little concerned about coming back at night (planning a packed itinerary) as a single female. Can you comment on the area at all?
@@susie9893 It is a little bit far from the subway but my wife and I enjoyed walking to the highline and down to some good restaurants in the West Village and it is close to the Whitney Museum. We actually really liked it and there is an amazing little coffee shop and rooftop bar if the weather is good. It is definitely out of the way though.
You can see the video of Rupaul living there on the channel 5ninthavenue project. In the later half of the 80s he moved in with Nelson Sullivan (the OG vlogger)
I stayed at the Jane when my daughter was living in the Village. I had to call for help when I dropped the remote behind the bed - no way I could retrieve it without taking the "room" apart lol. Memorable experience - not used to sharing a bathroom!
I love this hotel. I stay there nearly every time I go to NYC.
Do the Bowery!
I've stayed in The Jane twice. John gave a fair review. Having the bathroom/shower down the hall is not ideal, but not that bad. And the walk from the closest subway station does add a little bit to most of your travel compared to some other hotels. But, I've seen prices as low as $80 a night depending on the season and you can't beat that.
That hotel room was larger than the space I had while working on a catcher-processor in Alaska and I was there for 7 months, so I could totally do that.
I stayed at the Jane on a solo trip a couple of years back. The shared bathroom was spotless, with spacious shower cabins! Fun fact: on my first night I was coming back from the shower and my room key didn’t work. I had to go down to the fancy lobby in that bathrobe. The horror 😏. Had breakfast at La Bonbonnière a block away, which is a very budget friendly spot too. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
🤔🤷🏻♀️good question
Would I stay. I would if had own bathroom your right it’s a deal breaker. May I ask did you really stay the night. Great camera work in such tight areas. Very cool place great review. Surprised you didn’t list closest Pizza joint
Take care
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
I didn't spend the night, had to get home to the baby. Otherwise i'd have done it!
Forgive me one more question why is it called the Jane??
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
I have stayed there before and actually had a view of the statue of liberty from my little window!
That room is claustrophobic lol a cruise cabin is about as small as I can go before I would lose my mind and on top of not having my own bathroom..we’re already at 2 strikes 🤣
I’m staying at a Pod hotel. The room is pretty small but not that small. And I have a private bath. No thrills but it’s clean, updated, and around $100/night.
Which Pod is that if you don't mind my asking? I've been looking at Pod 51. Please tell me more about your experience, especially with regards to billing/payment - I've heard some interesting things
Nora, do you remember which street that was? Thank you.
@@sandygenier795 it was POD 51 on 51st,
@@susie9893 it was Pod 51, and no issues so far.
GREAT!!!!
$100 per night sounds perfect!
I was thinking Sun-Wed morning in April.
Thanks for the reply and thanks to Jon for giving us a platform to help each other out.
