If you're traveling on a small budget, this is a great place to be. The hotel is in a great area, near food, a subway station, tons of shopping, and the Hudson River. While the downstairs area did get a little rowdy on weekend nights, my floor (the sixth) and room were always pretty quiet. Though the bathroom was shared with others on the floor, both the toilet and shower felt private and secure. Additionally, the staff was super nice and helpful. From the front desk staff to the housekeepers to anyone I saw in passing, everyone was always friendly and accommodating. I really don't know if there's a better deal in Manhattan... unless you're ballin' or something.

The Jane has a great location, feels safe, is close to subway, busses, restaurants and bars. The shared bathrooms are clean and there was no waiting. The robes and slippers are also great perks for wandering around the hotel. However, there is no escaping the rooms are small. The whole floor area would be the size of a queen size bed. Half the room is single bunks and the other half is for your bags and clothes and shoes and getting changed and trying to turn around. If you stretch your arms out you easily touch both walls. Even though you only go to the room to sleep, it did affect our enjoyment of NY as we never felt relaxed the whole time. But it is cheap and there is a restaurant and bar and is safe.

I'm new to NYC and picked this place based on booking.com reviews (it had 8.0 score at the time of my booking and sounded like a very reasonable deal). I though the tiny rooms and shared toilets and showers accounted for the lower price... Well, I was WRONG.

The best one-work description for this place I can come up with is "erratic". See for yourself:
I arrived around 8pm after an overnight flight and a full day at the office, was warmly greeted and shown into a tiny and perhaps a dash smelly, but reasonably cozy room with a bunk bed. I pretty much went straight to bed only to wake up at 6am next morning itching from bed bug bites and shivering from the cold -- apparently during the night some guests complained of it being too warm, so the staff decided to switch the heating off altogether. Given the -2ºC outside + a 2cm-wide crack in the supposedly shut window, this got the air in the room down to 15ºC or less, which is pretty cold, even for my Russian back side.

Obviously, I reported both issues and was moved to another room, this time one without bugs, although the receptionist did coldly ask "what led me to believe there were bed bugs in the room". You'd think two dozen bites are hard to miss, wouldn't you? Neither he nor his colleagues showed much surprise, however, which leads me to believe that this is not the first time they encounter such a situation.

Fortunately, nothing in the remainder of my stay could trump that first morning, although the temperatures remained unpredictable -- the second night I had to barricade the window with pillows and sleep with my clothes on, whereas the third night it was so hot I could barely fall asleep even without a blanket.

Apart from the conditions inside the rooms, I must remark on the clientele, -- most of the folks I encountered in the washrooms and corridor seemed clean and nice and cheerful, but I did meet a couple of guys that looked, smelled and acted precisely like hobos. Other reviews reported highly intoxicated people sleeping or being noisily sick in the shared bathrooms, but I was luckily spared such encounters. I suspect that this minority of clients is also responsible for the presence of the bed bugs. All I can say is that next time I'll gladly pay double not to be in the same building as these guys and their tiny biting friends.

Room tip: There're apparently two types: the ones facing inner yard a suffocating and the ones facing the street are freakish cold (at least in the time of year I visited). Take your pick.

The lobby and employees look like a scene out of Grand Budapest Hotel...and I mean that in the best way possible. We got the captain's cabin, which was bigger than some of the other rooms (that people complain about for being too small)...so it was plenty spacious and had a little deck/balcony (which we couldn't use because it was under construction and too cold anyway...but it would be awesome in the right weather). I loved the way the room was decorated...thematically matched to the lobby...it looked old/authentic, but wasn't shabby at all. And the bathroom shower was delightful. For better or for worse, I didn't discover the mini-bar until we were leaving...but it was well stocked w/ all the things I like.
I loved being a 10 minute walk to Chelsea market (and taking the High Line there)...as well as having so many great shops, restaurants, bars near by. There is a beautiful looking night club right in the hotel...but was booked for a private party the night we were there. I am a very light sleeper, and the noise from the club did not bother me because it was so faint.
The only down side was the heating/cooling situation, which is typical of old buildings. The radiator was just out of control hot...we had to balance it out with air conditioning, which is weird but it worked. At least the maintenance people were very responsive and nice when we asked them to do something about it.
The only other downside...and this is major in my book, but not untypical of classy hotels...was lack of coffee maker in the room (and none offered for free in the lobby). The café in the lobby (not owned by the hotel) offers only espresso drinks (not drip coffee or even French press)for a hefty price, so this was not a nice option to in-room coffee.
But overall, loved it...especially for the price.

The location is convenient for shopping, nightlife, dining out, sightseeing, and physical activity.

Even though I didn't find what I was looking for at a reasonable price, I didn't have to look far to shop for a belt.

The bar that I frequented in Chelsea was only a short walk.

My Birthday dinner restaurant was essentially across the street.

My morning runs were through the Hudson River Park/Greenway, that included tennis and basketball courts.

Also, my run was past the new World Trade Center.
